I don't disagree, but now we're holding Lion Air to a much higher standard than any other commercial airline, including US and EU based ones.
Certain repairs are tested. Non-safety critical sensors like AOA are not, because you're meant to be able to land if there's a malfunction. Obviously not in this case, which points to procedural problems beyond any one airline.
- salawat 8y agoThe AoA sensor stopped being non-safety critical when it's output was allowed to drive a system capable of endangering the aircraft. I don't believe Lion Air is directly responsible; they didn't test flight it, but they didn't know they should either due to Boeing's poor communication of the functionality and justification for MCAS. It's a grievous failure all around, and yet another reason I stand by the belief that if there is doubt, there is no doubt.
