The problem with dealing with a departure stall is they’re extremely deadly, happen faster than a person can react to, and are in general unrecoverable all because of the lack of altitude. If it was the case that you could easily deal with a departure stall in the 737-MAX then they would have seen no need to implement MCAS.
- cjbprime 8y agoMCAS only operates with flaps up, though, so it's actually irrelevant during most departure stalls at low altitude.
- stirlo 8y agoEven if you could recover without MCAS Boeing still wouldn’t have released a version without it as the recovery procedure have needed new training. Let’s not forget MCAS only exists to protect Boeing’s profits by avoiding a new type certification.
