This is at best a Boeing talking-point. We don't have any data that states it is safe to operate the MAX without MCAS. It's quite possible that probable scenarios would result in stall faster than a human can react.
- masklinn 1y agoAfaik all analysis of the max’s design have come to the conclusion that its natural behaviour was nothing special or dangerous. It’s just that in some edge cases the nose would lift faster than on an NG, and that was not acceptable if it was sold as a 737 with no retraining.
- linuxftw 1y agoOne would think this question would have been answered directly in the FAA report, but it got zero mentions. We got zero data on how often MCAS made adjustments and how often in the report. Basically, we only have Boeing's word for it, which is worthless. They self-certified everything, and we see how that went.
- masklinn 1y ago> One would think this question would have been answered directly in the FAA report No, one would not, as it is of no interest to any regulator. They’re not dealing with any sort of non-mcas non-737 max. > We got zero data on how often MCAS made adjustments and how often in the report. This has no relevance to what I am talking about. > we only have Boeing's word for it We don’t have that because it is of no interest to Boeing either.
