Yup, every pilot I know, even if they will never fly one, now knows what to do. None of them express any reservation other than the way flight control software is headed.
- Androider 7y agoThe FAA just did a simulator test and more than half of the pilots failed to follow the intended procedures in case of failure. These pilots were specifically trained on the 737, and know they're participating in a trial. I think I'll stay clear! https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/pilot-procedure-confusion-adds-new-complication-to-737-max-return/ https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/pilot-procedure-co...
- richk449 7y agoHow do you know the MCAS issue is the only one the plane has? Given the hands off regulation, maybe there are other similar shortcuts taken?
- mantap 7y agoYou realise that the Ethiopian pilot also 'knew what to do' and was still vapourised? Knowing what to do is insufficient if the computer is trying its hardest to kill you. I'm sure they have neutered the software enough that it is much harder for it to kill you when it comes back, but the fact that MCAS still exists and is operational should put at least half a twist in your stomach when you get on one of these things. Any less is bravado.
