WASHINGTON (Reuters), The Federal Aviation Administration announced Monday that they are expanding their use of independent safety experts groups for certifying commercial airplanes.

According to the FAA, it will increase its use of Technical Advisory Boards in order to ensure a consistent and comprehensive approach for all projects related to aircraft certification.

Soon after March 2019, the FAA called a TAB to help it review the grounded aircraft.

FAA intends to create the boards sooner in the certification process, and to use them on planes that are mostly the same as existing models. These aircraft are often referred to by the FAA as “derivative aircraft”.

A board is in place at the FAA to review the Boeing 777X’s certification.

These boards examine a variety of topics, including the identification of new technology or designs that “could be catastrophic if failed”, according to the FAA. They also determine “whether similar system have caused problems for other aircraft” as well as ensuring the appropriate FAA offices are involved in certification.
