Wow! That's the best read of what's going on with the 737 Max system and the MCAS software that helps to drive it. Totally understandable now.

- WalterBright 5y agoThe author is a Cessna pilot. It's very, very different, from a jet airliner. High altitude flight with swept wings has little in common with a low-and-slow straight wing Cessna. http://www.gregorytravis.com/About/ http://www.gregorytravis.com/About/ He also writes about runaway trim: http://www.gregorytravis.com/WhyDoesNotPresent/ http://www.gregorytravis.com/WhyDoesNotPresent/ and assumes that Cessna training on stab trim is the same as for a jet airliner. It isn't. He also seems quite unaware that the flight previous to the LA flight that crashed also had MCAS activation, recognized it as runaway trim, and recovered by simply turning off the stab trim.
