Actually what I read was that the MCAS system was there to make the MAX fly exactly light a non-MAX 747, and thus avoiding the need for any additional training.

- mark-r 7y agoGiven that it didn't work, there's no question that additional training will be required. The question is the nature of the training. If they fix MCAS, the training will be how to recognize and compensate for a failure. If they removed MCAS, it will be how to fly the plane with different characteristics. It's unclear to me how much difference there would be in FAA approval between the two.
