Certainly worth reading the whole of the internal Boeing email logs linked to above. Hard to shake the impression that the "unacceptable communications" were generally a direct result of technical...

Agreed with the rest of your post, but as a counter-example to the statement above, consider a 737 NG loaded to it's absolute rear limit (36%MAC), and trimmed to fly at high but nonstalling AoA. It's...

Confusion about MCAS anti-stall

Thanks Ian. This confusion is very widespread in the current general (outside pprune) consensus of current MAX issues. Not only in the general media, but even in articles/content generated by...

Thanks gums

The idea of "pseudo-manual" mode raises an interesting point about how airliner automation has evolved somewhat ahead of certification philosophy. Besides the particular nacelle issue...

Thanks, that makes a good deal of sense. I think if MCAS is updated with improved robustness of AoA sensing, and some sort of total stab authority limitation, it should be comparable to STS in risk....

Not sure how single trim output can work for MCAS stabilisation

What information is available points to a MCAS software update that increases the robustness of the AoA input but restricts stab trim output to one cycle only.

However, I don't understand how a...

Now that this is a huge international news story, it's interesting to see the developing outside media opinion/current consensus.

One very commonly expressed thread is that the probable JT610,...

The AoA vanes on each side of the nose are not really two redundant sensors requiring a third to failsafe the system. This is because you don't necessarily expect them to agree during maneuvering,...

One thing that was I wondering after the Lionair accident, was what are failure rates of the AoA vanes in general. Are they more or less reliable than the pitot-static systems they complement? This...

Hello Bernd, thanks for your reply



I would mostly agree but assert that static longitudinal stability in general requires the horizontal tail (stab+elevator) to be at lower AoA than the wing,...

I would have to respectfully disagree that the MCAS is likely there to comply with FAA 25.175, along with the STS. Note the stick force requirement in that section is not at airspeed less than...

Thanks Mana for starting for a great STS thread, but also Vessbot and FCeng84 for some very high quality explanations of speed stability and augmentation.

This certainly makes sense, but I'm not sure that two AoA vanes really constitute two sensors. Instead they are a special case as they are only semi-independant, (i.e expected to disagree somewhat...

The Leeham News article is quite informative of why the MCAS is required on the MAX, and fills in some blanks. I originally thought heavier engines further forward should if anything bring COG...

Two questions I think are still unclear:

Through what pathway did the faulty AoA sensor feed bad data to the trim stabiliser?
People are discussing the STS as a possibility, but AoA is not a...

It is interesting to consider that a contributing factor to this accident may have been the Boeing (vs Airbus) approach to introducing automation into the cockpit. Both the STS and elevator feel...
