The premise that MCAS makes pilot type training unnecessary, then under some circumstances the pilot should override MCAS, is dangerously flawed.

The premise that MCAS makes pilot type training unnecessary, then under some circumstances the pilot should override MCAS, is dangerously flawed.
- WalterBright 3y agoPilots are already trained to stop runaway trim failures, and received an Emergency Airworthiness Directive explaining trivial procedure to counter MCAS failure. Of course, the MCAS software was badly designed, and the single path failure, are squarely Boeing's fault. Pilots must always be ready to deal with runaway stabilizer trim, on any aircraft type. It's a "memory item".
- albert180 3y agoThe whole shit happened because Boeing only used only one sensor for the system because then it wouldn't be seen as safety critical and wouldn't need to be mentioned extra in the manuals
