The article mentioned something that I didn't know about before: That the yoke feel is computer-generated and that MCAS was messing with that.
It also correctly points out that "with the 737 Max, Boeing has changed philosophies about human/machine interaction" - they didn't just hide a system in the plane that changed the planes behavior without telling the pilot, they fundamentally changed the basic assumptions pilots make, and still called it the same plane that doesn't require separate training. I'd consider that an even bigger crime than the other recklessness that ultimately led to the crashes.
- _ph_ 5y agoI think that part about the yoke feels is incorrect. MCAS only changes the trimming and that changes the yoke force required when trying to maintain the same angle of attack.
