Despite crashes, Boeing proposes no simulator training for 737 MAX pilots
Boeing's proposal to bring back the 737 Max has included a computer-based training program that, like requirements before two crashes involving the aircraft, does not involve hands-on simulator training before allowing pilots to resume flying the troubled aircraft once it is no longer grounded, CNN has learned. Following the crashes involving Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines in October and March in which 346 people died, some pilots and aviation consultants criticized Boeing for the… (www.cnn.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Shame on Boeing , if they screw this up they are done, wonder what the share holders are thinking about this !
Yikes. Talk about mismanagement.
God, I hope the FAA and Boeing know what they're doing!
Is this a joke? Do you really think addl sim training would be necessary...?
Im guessing everyone reading this has zero idea what runaway trim is and how to counteract/alleviate it... From a flight crew perspective, all you need to know as a pilot is the existence of MCAS, which AOA sensor it goes off of, and if it's faulty, to apply same procedure as runaway trim. As simple as that. Now from the Boeing side of things, I have zero idea why they decided to make MCAS go off of just the CA side AOA sensor.... absolutely unreal that the largest and most known aircraft manufacturer actually thought less would be more. You need to have more TEM to ensure the swiss cheese holes are filled....

WOW..we, as many of us are pilots both fixed wing and rotor craft, have no idea what runaway trim is? And you have all the answers because you have been in a situation where MCAS took control when it should not have @ 13k ft above sea level? I do have 1 final question...what aircraft do you fly?
It’s early in the process. If BA’s management remains strong, they will find the solutions to ensure aircraft safety and to ensure passenger safety through pilot training. If not, and if there are more deaths, then a firestorm of regulators, lawyers, and market shorts will effect economic justice.
