Error in post corrected.
This is my first post here so I apologise for any errors in the way that I have done so. Advice welcome.
As I understand it the 737 Max cannot be certified to fly at all without MCAS because it does not meet the requirements of FAR 25.203(a) which says "No abnormal nose-up pitching may occur. The longitudinal control force must be positive up to and throughout the stall"
Is there any definitive confirmation of this fact?
If it is NOT true, it would seem to me that Boeing's best way by far to get the planes flying again would be to remove or completely disable MCAS and admit that it is a different aicraft from older 737s and agree to pay for all training required to fly it.
