Like many others here I don't care much for articles, except when composed by a select few writers. And even then ...
I do, however, place a somewhat higher level of trust in a competent authority, or even an expert panel composed of members from competent authorities. Such as the JATR who, in their report, made it clear MCAS is either a stall detection or stall prevention system, leaning as heavily as they could towards the latter.
What definition Boeing publicly chose to attach to it, and how they sold it to their regulator, is the subject matter of several investigations, none of which are looking particularly good from a BCA point of view.
Anyway, news on how the testing of the final package are doing with the FAA?
