The Lion Air jet had the same MCAS failure on its previous flight. If you dig through ASRS you'll find other reports of uncommanded pitch down events on the MAX. Just because MCAS hadn't yet crashed a plane doesn't mean that nobody noticed its presence.
- kayfox 5y agoThe last time ASRS came up I looked, all of the uncommanded pitch down incidents to that point on MAX aircraft were while the autopilot was connected or flaps extended, those conditions disable MCAS. Do you have examples of incidents that appear otherwise?
