On the recent two crashes of Boeings 737 Max

[Rockin Robbins]

Yes, the Orlando landing was a garden variety engine problem having nothing to do with the MCAS safety problem.

Just ran across a video by a pilot who ran the simulator to show exactly what an MCAS/trim system overrun malfunction looks like in the cockpit and how the trim cutout switch is part of the procedure. Note that MCAS malfunctions are part of a memory procedure: a procedure that pilots are required to memorize so they don't absolutely need to use the book to defang the problem.



Now you know exactly what the malfunction looks like in the cockpit, what steps are used to evaluate the problem and that competent pilots can handle it with the plane as it is now. You also know that American pilots, at least, can rehearse this event realistically in the simulator.
