- WalterBright 1y agoI only heard of one. I'm interested in others, if you have references.

I just remember that it happened commonly enough to US pilots. American pilots always recovered quickly enough that it didn't make the news before the fatal crashes.
- WalterBright 1y agoThank you, but it's behind a paywall. I did find this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-crashes.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-c... which has detailed information, but I don't trust the NYT. The article also erroneously reports that the MCAS trim rate is twice the speed of manual trim. The trim rate for both is 0.27 degrees per second.
