737 MAX certification: process followed vs. process adequate (JATR and DOT OIG)

A bounded record, built from this repository's own committed pre-capture research dossier (not from captured primary-source bytes), of the documented JATR and DOT OIG findings on 737 MAX certification and delegation, preserving the both/and finding that the established process was followed while also containing consequential weaknesses.

This preview uses Counterpedia's reference-entry skeleton over a structurally validated candidate. The renderer does not admit the record, establish truth, or convert proximity into evidence.

IMPORTANT PROVENANCE NOTE: this record is built entirely from a committed pre-capture research dossier (content/research/capture-wave1/boeing-737-max-demo-corpus-dossier-v0-1.md) and a committed draft summary article, neither of which is a captured, byte-custody primary source. No CaptureReceipt exists in this repository for the underlying JATR or DOT OIG documents. This record paraphrases the dossier's own description; it contains no verbatim quotation from any primary document.

The both/and framing

Per the dossier's own framing (§C-4): "the established process was followed" does not imply that the process successfully identified and mitigated the hazard, and "the process had serious weaknesses" does not imply that every certification action was unlawful or skipped. This record preserves both halves of that framing rather than compressing it into either a simple compliance defense or a simple process-failure indictment.

Documented findings

Per the committed dossier, JATR found that the changed-product certification process was followed for discrete design changes but did not adequately address cumulative effects, system integration, and human factors; that MCAS was not evaluated as a complete integrated function in the certification documents submitted to FAA; and that FAA had inadequate awareness of MCAS, limiting independent assessment.

Per the committed dossier, DOT OIG found that FAA and Boeing followed the established certification process, while separately finding that limitations in FAA guidance and processes led to significant misunderstanding of MCAS, that FAA did not completely understand Boeing's MCAS safety assessments until after the Lion Air JT610 accident, and that oversight-independence weaknesses existed in FAA's delegation program.

Source Records and unresolved references carried by this entry. Source identity is shown first; capture and observation details remain secondary.

The counts below cover only retained-capture associations and Source Record matches supplied to this specific identity projection. A separate approved public Source navigation link can exist without being counted here. An unlinked row does not prove the document or its Source page is absent.

About this record

This candidate preview renders a structurally validated content object inside the proposal-only lab membrane. It confers no admission or public standing; source resolution and verification remain separate axes, and the renderer holds no authority of its own.
