I really can't help to think that the design and production of this plane was rushed.
They used a one sensor input to MCAS because the FAA wouldn't certify a two sensor input without requiring a level D certification which meant sim training for pilots.
This latest revelation in the article only strengthens my belief it was rushed and possibly to the point that it was irresponsible.
- onli 7y agoThat's seriously overdiplomatic. The plane was rushed and it was constructed very badly. It was absolutely irresponsible to bring it into service, it's not a question anymore. It's a plane that crashes itself automatically into the ground and that killed over 300 people.
- marcyb5st 7y agoAgreed. However, the worst part is the FAA. Specifically, what baffles me is the massive hand-wave they did on this considering it is one of their mandates to check flight-worthiness of Airplanes/Airlines. I hope all the other agencies worldwide will double check all the prior certifications issued by the FAA, because all their credibility is gone. Especially considering the US was the one the last countries to ground the 737 MAX. I wonder what happened there. Bribes? Favors? Lobbying and ties? All of the above?

- linuxftw 7y agoDo you think regulatory capture actually exists? If so, why is the pharmaceutical industry immune?
- RockyMcNuts 7y agowhy do you think pharma is immune, after fiascos like Vioxx, Accutane, opioids, the fact that much regulatory machinery is in place to create drug monopolies?
