The entire purpose of MCAS was to override pilot input as the typical instincts of a trained 737 pilot is to do the wrong thing. The failure was not handling edge cases (conflicting or missing sensor data) and no clear way to turn off the system when it was failing.
- brokenmachine 7y agoSo, what you're saying is that MCAS should not have overridden pilot input when it did?
- jsjohnst 7y agoSo what you’re saying is you have a need to just be “right“ without also understanding the back story behind it? (I didn’t say anything about GP being wrong, I simply gave more details about the how and why)
