@batamist4 years ago Will boeing finally install a 3rd aoa sensor on b737 max to ensure the necessary redundancy?
what will happen when the mcas will be desactivated will the pilots be able to recover in due time the case of a mcas or ths runaway? Is the " roller coaster" recovery method going to be revised and pilots trained for it?
faa has discovered additional flaws since the grounding, not only the mcas. ...Expand

@MarcPagan4 years ago From a former airline pilot. The max is inherently safe. . The issue is software, trying to make a new model handle like a prior one, w a different center of gravity.
the software needs to go, and a new type certificate should be required for pilots. Even for current 737 pilots.
this is a combination of boeing employing a high tech solution working with their bean counters, in an attempt to protect market share, . And boeing bowing to airlines,
who didn' t want to take pilots offline for 6 to 8 weeks of complete classroom and sim training
there is a relatively inexpensive and simple fix for boeing.
bite the bullet, and offer each airline customer $25, 0 for training per airline pilot, up to 6 pilots per aircraft purchased. ...Expand 2
