Big well done to Southwest Airlines Safety Department for retrofitting their Max’s with the optional head down AoA display after the Lion Air accident! I wonder how many other Safety Managers would have liked to get the budget for that too?
I read that the head down display option was an extra $60K on top of the purchase price of a new Max? Small price to pay for the extra info, although I’m not sure that more extra info is needed - the PFD is starting to look like an F1 steering wheel. Can anyone confirm if the AoA disagree warning light is also an option and was it installed on the ET fleet?
