Pleads not guilty to lying over safety issues

Mark Forkner, Boeing’s 737 Max chief technical pilot during the aircraft’s development, has been charged with misleading aviation regulators about safety issues blamed for two fatal crashes of the 737 Max.

According to the US Department of Justice, “he faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each count of wire fraud and 10 years in prison on each count of fraud involving aircraft parts in interstate commerce”.

A federal grand jury in the Northern District of Texas returned an indictment charging Mark Forkner, former Chief Technical Pilot for The Boeing Company (Boeing), with deceiving the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aircraft Evaluation Group (FAA AEG) in connection with the FAA AEG’s evaluation of Boeing’s 737 MAX airplane, and scheming to defraud Boeing’s US based airline customers to obtain tens of millions of dollars for Boeing.
