MCAS wasn't in the training materials provided to airlines. Even some US pilots have complained that they had no knowledge of it before the Lion Air crash.

- lallysingh 8y agoI didn't know that the materials weren't provided. How do they add a new system and not provide training materials?!?!

- danso 8y agoBecause part of the advertised appeal of the MAX was that it would not require new training, despite a different aerodynamic profile: > Since MCAS was supposed to activate only in extreme circumstances far outside the normal flight envelope, Boeing decided that 737 pilots needed no extra training on the system — and indeed that they didn’t even need to know about it. It was not mentioned in their flight manuals. > That stance allowed the new jet to earn a common “type rating” with existing 737 models, allowing airlines to minimize training of pilots moving to the MAX. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/failed-certification-faa-missed-safety-issues-in-the-737-max-system-implicated-in-the-lion-air-crash/ https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/faile...
