Since Lion Air I can't get out of my mind how ludicrous it seems to use movement of the horizontal stab to correct control force non-linearity when there are much easier, more conventional and safer ways to do it. I accept that a software add-on to STS may be the cheapest approach but it is such a brutal solution it just doesn't compute. Unless it is not just non-linearity that is the problem. JATR suggested FAA determine the bare, un-enhanced stall characteristics of the MAX. Could it be that this airplane just doesn't stall safely? In that case Stall PREVENTION would indeed need a brutal approach.
737-MAX may have been mis-named. It should have been 737-2MUCH.
