This is knowledge every pilot should have. Too late for those poor 190 people on Lion Air.
Bad Sensor = Bad Data.
Does a 737 Max (without the AoA "option") even have this feature?
My understanding is there was no AoA Disagree message.
Seems like Boeing should make this "standard equipment" on the 737 in hindsight.
I digress.
