But on an iPad! Boeing is still pretending that the training on the new simulator is not needed. In fact there are almost no new simulators at all — the MAX’s selling point was that it’s the same as the old 737.
And that was a very deadly lie.
Still, even after the software patch, with MCAS turned on, the plane pretends to behave as the old one. Once MCAS is switched off, a pilot is left with a new plane. For which he is not trained! And exactly at the moment the plane is already in danger! Because Boeing’s marketing.
The obviousness of the plane not being the same is an exact reason why Boeing tried to hide the existence of MCAS completely.
Now they still think everything is allowed to them.
