I'm sure this is an edge case given all of the successful 737 MAX 8 fights, but it's a catastrophic one.
To go from smooth flying conditions to having the nose unexpectedly dive and having seconds to save your life and everyone on board is almost more dangerous than difficult flying conditions because it's so unexpected.
I'd be surprised if Boeing continues to treat this as a training issue. The plane needs to be better.
- alistairSH 8y agoI'm sure this is an edge case given all of the successful 737 MAX 8 fights There are 350 737Max in service. It's a brand new airplane - it went into service in mid-2017. For 2 brand new (months old) 737Max to fall out of the sky is not an "edge case".
- remote_phone 8y agoThis. They should be taken out of service and seriously investigated now at this point. And Boeing’s procedures on how it disseminates information should be held under a microscope and punished severely.
- everdev 8y agoRight, but how many successful test flights and real world flights where this never happened? 2 accidents is 2 too many, but it's not like every MAX 8 or anywhere close to the majority or even a large minority are experiencing catastrophic failure. Sure, it's far higher than what's acceptable and the industry norm, but I'd imagine it's enough of an edge case that it snuck past testing and 99%+ of real world flights.
