TL;DR Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) is increasing its oversight of Boeing by conducting an audit of the production of the 737 Max 9 following an incident where a fuselage panel blew off during flight. The agency will assess whether Boeing and its suppliers adhered to approved quality control practices and will scrutinize problems on the Max 9. The F.A.A. is also investigating safety risks associated with outsourcing some oversight to authorized Boeing employees and is considering the use of an independent third party to oversee Boeing's inspections and quality system.
