How many total 737 MAX MCAS events occurred?
If two ended in crashes, I’d expect there to be twenty or so similar events that the pilots were able resolve.
Or was it a case that there were only two flights with faulty pitot tubes that ended in crashes.
I not a pilot, so I may have glosses over details, apologies in advance.
- topspin 6y agoI haven't seen a definitive count anywhere. It is certain that not all flights involving the MCAS problem led to a crash. The LionAir crash flight was preceded by a flight were the pilots first experienced the MCAS problem due to the failed pitot on the plane; they disabled the trim system and completed the fight manually. It was the subsequent flight the actually crashed.
