EASA’s checklist includes a number of issues that have been disclosed:
1 the potential difficulty pilots have in turning the jet’s manual trim wheel
2 the unreliability of the Max’s angle of attack sensors
3 inadequate training procedures
4 a software issue flagged just last week by the FAA pertaining to a lagging microprocessor
5 also listed a previously unreported concern: the autopilot failing to disengage in certain emergencies.

“Any of these could significantly affect the return to service, but we don’t know if they are actually going to become requirements or are they just
items for discussion,’’ said John Cox, a former 737 pilot who is president of the aviation consulting company Safety Operating Systems.
