Safety is one thing but the problem is that MCAS was brought in to keep the common type rating. It's hard to see that common type rating holding now with what we know.

Really enjoy them but I found they were a bit too thin from A&W. Managed to get the retail version (4oz vs the A&W 3oz) and was really impressed. There is one thing that I've found with them that I don't like. They have a

Agreed, it's a pathetic response that avoids addrssing the obviously malicious behavior. At best it shows incredibly awful development practices.

It's a data problem on flightaware. Check swa2738 on flightaware [0] and then check on flightradar24 [1]. It's being flown by n8648a which is not a max. [0] https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA2738&#x

An extra set of eyes saved them, it's a shame that there wasn't any way for them to include a reminder in the next crews flight plans.

We had a Tims counter at our high school and I fondly remember their muffins and coffee. If I'm on the road and try it again I'm quickly reminded how crap it's gotten.

Witness accounts are famously unreliable [1] [2]. They are saying that the flight profile so far matches what they saw with Lion Air 610. Until the FDR and CVR are analyzed the only reliable data is what they have from ADSB and whatever Sat

I think that farming out so much of the certification to the manufacturers can lead to problems as they work to make things "lean" when the easy gains have dried up.

Well, the manufacturers and certification define a MEL[0] which must be adhered to and outlines what equipment needs to be functional for a flight. If the MEL specifies one AoA out is acceptable then you can bet the airline will fly with it

The lack of any meaningful rail / subway connection at LGA is something I have to deal with on a regular basis. Probably won't change anytime soon either which is unfortunate.

Are you implying that there are systems out there that can pinpoint the manufacturer by the received signature? I'm sure there are more advanced systems out these days but the MoTron TxID is what first comes to mind which would match a

While I respect VW's ability to produce I think the limiting factor will be battery production. They've made some aggressive moves into it but I wonder if they can keep it going.

Yup, had the same one. I disabled the big cores and it "fixed" it for a long time but then it started looping again. Then did a reflow and it fixed it for a month before it died for good. I was really hoping to keep that phone aro

I'm honestly unsure what he has to gain by doing this. I can't imagine that the departure of the counsel isn't related. Maybe the GC announced he was leaving and that rattled Musk somehow? Very strange.

For wireless debugging we use an older tool called the wi-spy dbx. We also have a USRP B200 and LimeSDR mini which have been helpful tracking down interference. Here's a plot from when we discovered LED motion sensing lights use a rada
