tl;dr
He thinks the updated aircraft is great.
But he also thought the old aircraft when great in 2018, in the configuration that crashed.
"...I thought it was a great flying machine back then and I think it will be better than ever after its return. Was the aircraft as well designed as it could have been? Perhaps not, but then in no human endeavor is perfection ever achieved."
- Toutouxc 6y agoThat's the single least useful thing you could've distilled from the article.
- skanga 6y agoOK then, What's your "better" tldr?
- Toutouxc 6y agoThere is no tldr. It's full of information about avionics and control systems. There are descriptions of flight sim procedures. It's an interesting article to be consumed whole.
- wombatmobile 6y agoIf you're interested to read a primer on avionics and control systems, yes. If you just want to know whether it's safe to get on a 737 Max, no. For that, you'd need a white box analysis of the software, access to the change log, and, ultimately, millions of miles in the air waiting to see what happens.
- tim333 6y agoHe thinks MCAS is fixed "the odds of a runaway trim scenario are now effectively nil." And stuff.
- hhjj 6y agoAlso i think pilots are more or less assigned same aircraft models so i don't think you can really trust them saying their assigned model is great since they have conflict of interest.
