A software patch to fix and inherently unstable aircraft. brilliant. Cant wait for it
The aircraft is not inherently unstable. Where on earth did you get that idea? MCAS is about reducing AoA at extremes due engine nacelle effects. The fact that a faulty AoA sensor can activate it is the issue. Then that SOME crews have been unable to process what is occurring and turn off the stab trim, or hold manual wheel, or use electric trim against MCAS input.
