U.S. watchdog finds 'weaknesses' in FAA oversight of Boeing airplane flight manuals
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - A government watchdog said Friday it found "weaknesses" in the Federal Aviation Administration's oversight of Boeing airplane flight manuals. In a report, the Transportation Department's Office of Inspector General report said the FAA agreed with the report's recommendations and will begin assessing existing Boeing airplane flight manuals this year.

Both the manuals as well as the 'oversight', have been trending downward since 1970. The legacy of the "jumbo" jets.
At least someone is investigating the regulators who seem to ignore their statutory obligations.
Gee, an FAA oversight with Boeing. Who’d have ever expected that? Dumb asses… yeah letting the airline oversee it’s own regulatory filings was a great idea…
Yeah, remember how American made up their own engine change procedures that caused a DC-10 engine to depart the aircraft on takeoff from ORD, roll 180 degrees and impact near a trailer park just off the end of runway 32 right.
Hey, it worked in theory :-) There are some places you just can't cut corners... aviation is one of them. Wait until the FAA is keeping track of flights on SQLServer :-)
so what that "qualified inspectors" are expensive. They are a required fixed cost component of a safely regulated airliner procurement process. Can't do without them, so find them and watch over their work.
