Of modern airliner certification
This is an honest question: under what regulation / system was the the 787 MAX certified ? What are the actual regulations ? Does an FAA approval necessarily extend for the whole world ?
I understand in this specific case we have an extension of the original 737, thus not requiring a full review. Still, how far can you go with that approach ?
Of obvious particular interest: is it actually possible / legal to certify any autonomous flight control system (however benign, and MCAS isn't) that would get input from a single sensor ?
