additionally 4. Insufficient regulatory over site 5. Failed safety analysis FAA pushed much of the safety analysis to Boeing engineers due to lack of funding and external pressures to help Boeing speed through certification. The safety analysis was performed on incorrect data. The initial safety report said the MCAS system could lower the nose by 0.6 degrees. After flight testing, that value was increased to 2.5 degrees but the safety analysis was never updated to reflect the new parameters. Additionally, the MCAS system could reset each time the pilot attempted to override, and it could change 2.5 degrees for each reset. So effectively it was unbounded. The numbers on the safety report did not reflect the actual system. If the real numbers had been updated, the problem likely would have been caught sooner.
