Boeing expresses regret over ex-pilot's messages on 737 MAX
Boeing Co (BA.N) said on Sunday that it regrets and understands concerns raised by the release of a former Boeing test pilot’s internal instant messages noting erratic software behaviour two years before deadly crashes of its 737 MAX jet. (uk.reuters.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
JMartinson. You asked a question about MCAS which showed some ignorance of flight systems. If you believe Boeing made clear to all flight crews the function of the Stall recovery system, you should be incensed at Boeing’s admitting guilt that they did not. Similarly, have you some idea why the type is grounded, save a few tail numbers? Clean slate, then? Enlighten us.
Yes, I do have some questions, however I did not (and would not) ask those questions here. Why would I? If I asked you right now point blank if Boeing hid mcas from pilots by leaving it out of the flight manuals, I'm pretty sure your answer would be yes. Your answer would probably be yes, and I would be misinformed. MCAS absolutely and without a doubt is in the manual. There is nothing you or Muilenburg or anyone else can say that can change this. It is a fact.
"Similarly, have you some idea why the type is grounded, save a few tail numbers?"
What? Is this even a question? Honestly, conversing with you is like playing darts with spaghetti.

The two flight crews experienced a systems failure. They saw the results, but not the cause. Until they ran out of trim to correct a persistent Nose Down, they thought (sic) the solution was working. Even had they known that MCAS had failed, they had no training how to correct the condition, which we can call “runaway trim”, because we see the results of MCAS Fail. “Automatic Stall Prevention” was not necessary, but it activated, and continued to function until impact, The sensor supplying critical Angle of Attack data to MCAS was reading ten degrees high.
It is a dumb machine, it cannot fly “seat of the pants”. The uproar is that crews were not fully in the know regarding MCAS, and it was not trained. Turns out the solution is a simple one, but needs to happen without delay. The cause of this systems failure is not acceptable, and until Boeing changes the system, it will not fly again. imo.
My conclusion is that something was missing from the syllabus upon which a transitioning pilot must rely, to fly this aircraft safely.
Good luck with your darts game. Were you not trained in spaghetti darts?

Fake news. Totally, 100%, first class, complete fake BS.
Of course, this pilot was so scared that he went to southwest where he flew the 737 MAX!
MCAS is not a good reason to avoid the MAX. It is a reasonable design, meant to ameliorate over control in Pitch by pilots unfamiliar with the engines much higher thrust, and a tendency to raise the Nose on their own.
