Actually it's important to remember that MCAS was not fitted to make the plane safer. It was fited to make it behave the same way as a 737 so that pilots don't need to be retrained.
If you would retrain pilots then the 737 MAX can be safely flown without MCAS. Pilots just need to be familiar with the different aerodynamics.
- ahakki 7y agoA 737 Max without MCAS doesn't have linearly increasing stick forces as AOA increases. This is a FAA requirement, so the 737 MAX can't be approved without the MCAS system, regardless if it could be flown by a trained pilot.
