WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration's top official said on Thursday he will raise Boeing's quality control practices and compliance with manufacturing requirements at a Washington meeting with company executives, after a panel blew out of a 737 MAX plane midair in January.

The date of the meeting is not yet available but follows a trip earlier this week by FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker to Boeing in Seattle.

The U.S. regulator expects to complete an audit of Boeingโ€™s production quality systems in the next few weeks and receive an independent assessment from an independent panel tasked last year with reviewing the planemaker's safety culture.
