The author in the NYT is a pilot.
"Unfortunately, in the case of the 737 Max, it seems that Boeing has built a plane with a fundamental aeronautical issue that it thought would be resolved by adding a new automated system. "

- WalterBright 7y agoMr. Wise is indeed a pilot, but not one for jetliners. Flying a high altitude jetliner is very different from flying a Cessna. Mr. Wise does not have a degree in aeronautical engineering, nor in engineering of any sort. http://jeffwise.net/about-the-author/ http://jeffwise.net/about-the-author/
- FabHK 7y agoNote that he doesn't use the term "stable" incorrectly. He points out an issue (that would indeed preclude the 737 Max from being certified without MCAS, as I understand it).
- WalterBright 7y ago> that would indeed preclude the 737 Max from being certified without MCAS It would not prevent certification. It would require pilots to be separately rated for the MAX.
- FabHK 7y agoThat's not my understanding. I understand (and PuffinBlue concurs, if I'm not mistaken) that the 737 Max would not be certifiable without MCAS.
