- sofixa 4y agoIt was designed to avoid stalling in conditions under which the previous 737 wouldn't, and thus to make the Max behave the same.
- kayodelycaon 4y agoThat doesn’t make it a safety system. It wasn’t integrated as part of any kind of flight envelope protection and it wasn’t necessary to fly a plane of that design safely. The issue was they decided to use automation to avoid training pilots on how the plane actually behaves. That kills people.
