The really disappointing thing, is it looks like the Max is equipped with the same old autopilot that was fitted to the Classic, with all its limitations and foibles. So I presume the Max still cannot do Cat IIIb landings. What I always wonder, is where Boeing gets these old 1980s microprocessors from, to run these autopilot computers. Do they have a source in China that still makes the 286 processor?

Do you have an agenda against Boeing?
I have flown the NG since it was new, and I have NEVER had any trim issues like this. Or trim issues at all.
I have a thing or two to say about the STS system, but it does what it is supposed to do.
I just don’t agree with what it is doing.
