Boeing 737 Max Recertification Testing - Finally.
I should clarify. Yes, you, other pilots, including Sully have professional knowledge, experience and judgement. But you don’t have certification data, have not personally tested a conformed aircraft or reviewed the test results. You have all you need to form informed opinions, one per pilot, and we have read several conflicting opinions, no surprise. But you don’t have the data needed to make a certification decision. We do have a Senate investigative report that gives reason to suspect the FAA certification.

I have read that US Senate has recently issued a report on the B737 Max. I tried to download it but the access to the Senate site is unauthorized. Can anybody post the report?

A report I see:
The Boeing 737 Max will fly paying passengers in the US for the first time in 21 months next week as American Airlines is set to fly the first scheduled flight from Miami to New York on December 29.

Flyers can tell if they're on a Max by looking at markings on the plane, the size of the engines and other identifying features.
A passenger's reservation details will also say which aircraft they're booked on and US airlines will let passengers change their flights free of charge if they don't want to fly on a Max.

Thanks, San Diego! Go see the AF447 tragedy and ask if you wanted one of those two in the front seats ( A/C was taking a break) to evalute a hydraulic/cable/pushrod/torque tube system with no "protections" or "gains" to smooth things out.
Not that one cannot fly a basic plane like a 1937 Cub, which I have, after 4 years in the FBW Viper. So it could be a mindset, but I'll take "good hands" any day.

I see that it has not taken long before a max ends up with a Pan Pan, Air Canada provisioning flight from Pinal Airpark Marana,AZ to Montreal,QC, diverted to Tucson,AZ with one engine shut down.
Before anyone gets on their high horse, l know these things happen to every type of aircraft flying, but its not going help with public confidence in this aircraft.
Every tiny mishap or issue is going to make its way into the press however minor or stupid.
Remember most or a majority of press reporters have no clue about what they are reporting on.

I wonder what the check list contained for the OK to return the stored aircraft to service. All checked OK with this being an unexpected anomaly or ?

Max engine shutdown
Surprised this isn't already on here https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...chanical-issue
There is a passing reference to it (which, frankly, is more than it warranted) in the main Max Recertification thread.
An IFSD is rarely newsworthy, and this one wasn't either.
