- nitrogen 7y agoPlanes do have standards
- kick 7y agoThat's the joke. (Made more obvious by the fact that the 737 MAX controversy was over a software issue.)
- silon42 7y agoThe MAX is a system design issue... for reliability it should probably include at least a third AoA sensor.
- jariel 7y agoNo, it's not a joke. If Aviation didn't have a lot of standards, considerably more planes would be falling out of the sky.
- Yetanfou 7y agoNot just a software issue in this case but a combination of software and non-redundant hardware in the default configuration with a single angle-of-attack sensor on each side. That missing sensor is far more likely to be related to bean counters than to software developers. Are bean counters licenced?
- colonwqbang 7y agoDo you really think licenses would have prevented the 737 Max catastrophes?
- luckyscs 7y agoIm pretty sure EE and AeroE engineers at Boeing have their FE and PEs
- ReptileMan 7y ago737 max was coded to spec. So you are right - we need standards and licenses for managers and executives.
- PhaedrusV 7y agoUnfortunately, it's hard to license or standardize integrity. I'd say what we're looking for is "accountability"
- smaryjerry 7y agoLiterally all a license is in many cases is just making sure a contractor has insurance and a bond to cover any issues. Getting a license takes less than a day to get And is a matter of filling out a form where I live if you have the insurance in place.
