Ryanair improves procedures after Boeing 737 incident

The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) reported on a March 2024 incident involving a Ryanair Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 at London Stansted Airport. The aircraft experienced a 'level bust' during a go-around, descending about 550 feet before the crew noticed. The AAIB's investigation highlighted Ryanair's response, leading to changes in its handover procedures in the Flight Crew Operations Manual. The updated guidance now requires clear communication about the aircraft's control status during handovers. Despite the incident not being classified as an accident, the AAIB emphasized the importance of proper procedures. Ryanair's adjustments aim to enhance safety and prevent similar occurrences in the future.
