FAA Database: 20 Pilot Write-Ups Incl. UI and MCAS issues
- mimixco 8y agoThis is the full list of Boeing 737 Max incidents reported by pilots to the FAA. Many of the reports relate to problems with UI design, documentation, and training. Three of the reports are specific to the MCAS software implicated in the Lion Air crash and a suspect in the Ethiopian crash. In two of those cases, the pilots were aware of MCAS and still had (harrowing) problems during their flights. (The third mention of MCAS is a complaint about the lack of disclosure/documentation.) Thanks to the Dallas News for breaking this story [1], to @tuna-piano for the NASA ASRS database reference, and to @dpwm for the regex. The original story explains that the database is maintained by NASA and pilots' identifying information like names, airlines, and some locations are redacted to protect their anonymity.

- nutcracker46 8y agoBe aware; the list contains a number of events involving the B737-800, which is an NG aircraft, not the MAX.
- mimixco 8y agoNo, that's a limitation in the database. They show Max's as 737-800s. The list was filtered with regex to only pull out incidents that mention the Max.
