[@routadu]

@@brkitdwn yes Pilot error is also a big factor here They kept engines running at full power for the entire flight time Otherwise manual flying won't be that difficult and they could've landed safely But that sparked Boeing to reveal and fix several issues Like overpowering the pilots even when electric trim is switched off Getting feed from only one sensor And cheap, fast flight training process Even the airlines should be blamed who came up with this idea of skipping training And also the passengers who demand ultra cheap flights Everything just rushed Boeing to make this plane so dangerous 737 was such a huge success but their administration just ruined its Max series image

It just boggles my mind that pilots are unable to turn off automatic systems when those systems turn suicidal. And now there's a "software update"...how comforting.

Exactly! The Ethiopian's pilot said to have fought with the MCAS for 20 times in a span of 6 minutes, I think. Like fucking come on?! 6 minutes??? That's all the time that those people had before dying tragically. What can you do for 6 mins. against an automated system that turns on for 10 secs. and shuts down for only 5 seconds before taking over again? And this cycle of events would definitely overload the pilot and put a whole lot of pressure to him and the rest of his crew which will eventually lead to fatigue. Also, they were CLEARLY and COMPLETELY BLINDED(UNAWARE) from the start. They have absolutely no idea that all of those things will happen continuosly. Like, tell me, what the hell can you do when you are faced with a situation like that?

[@fallinginthed33p]

@@szcharlette4318 They had to enable electric trim because turning the wheel by hand required too much effort. The problem was that after resetting electric trim, MCAS would push the nose down again. For every step back the pilots made, MCAS made two steps forward, until the nose was pointed almost completely downwards. The pilots had to go through all that while pulling back on the control column to keep the plane level.

@@RemixedVoice Well, here's another thing. Their *reputation* probably will take a serious hit from this. I have read the history of the MD DC10. When first introduced it was a hit and lots of airlines ordered one. However following many serious and deadly crashes the aircraft got a reputation of being "flawed". MD fixed all the problems and the DC10 became as safe an aircraft as any other. Problem was sales never picked up since the aircraft was often grounded due to investigations meaning they lost their airlines a lot of money. They ended production of the DC-10 in 1983 already with only 386 delivered. What the stocks are currently saying is hardly an indication of what will follow tomorrow or in the near future. With airplane manufacturers it doesn't require more than a minor "dip" for the profitability of the entire company to be in jeopardy. My point is that if an airline considers buying new aircraft they probably will think twice before ordering the "latest Boeing". Trust is something which can take a long time to build and it's easy to lose and then hard to regain.

Boeing is to blame for this the 737 Max is a completely different bird to any other 737 ever made, and pilots should have been sent on a complete new course, not a stupid 15 page document on an Ipad.

This is the episode I was waiting for all long ! Thankfully I’ve got to see it now

[@davids3718]

Totally agree that the implementation of MCAS (the way it was done and the fact that it was not communicated) was a huge mistake - but the problem that most comments here ignore is that the plane essentially was under control with the stab trim cutout at 8.20. After that, a fair bit of lack of pilot competence entered play - they didn't bring the speed under control and didn't trim up manually with sufficient speed. Eventually, physics took over (stab>elevator the faster you are) and brought the plane under control. Had they realised that they kept accelerating past 300 kts and simply cut the throttle, they would have maintained control. Sadly, they obiously both lacked elementary flying skills in a plane with degraded automation.

[@XalphYT]

Pilots should have never been put into this position. The fault lies entirely with Boeing and their MCAS system.

[@speedlever]

XalphYT Pilots get put in strange situations all the time. Manage what you can, then try to deal with what you have left. Had the crew managed the overspeed condition, I suspect they would still be flying today. But that’s no defense of Boeing who clearly screwed up the implementation of MCAS.

What I'm learning from these videos is that when all the systems designed to help fly the plane fail, the plane is doomed..

The airplane was never throttled back after takeoff. The airplane's AoA sensors failed immediately and the captain should have declared PanPan as soon as his instruments didn't match his first officer's. That would have allowed them to check list and at least identify the failing systems and avoid depending on them to fly the remainder of the flight. The captain was the youngest in the fleet and the F/O had less than 1000 hours. I think this "glitch" was recoverable and I would assert this is a crash due to pilot error.

Ian Konrad who are you to « assert » anything ?

[@nikobelic4251]

Ian Konrad yes, the pilots could have recovered, but there should not be a system on the aircraft that would completely override the pilot’s actions. Airbus’ system doesn’t allow crazy banks or pitches at too much of an angle but it doesn’t force the nose down and can be shut off easily by turning off normal mode. Granted this could have probably been treated as a runaway trim situation but the primary cause of the crash is the MCAS system messing up. Same way the primary cause of the crash in AF447 was the pitot tube ice up. Manufacturers and regulators LOVE blaming crashes on the pilots, it’s the second thing they try to blame after terrorism. It’s easier to tell the public “it’s just those pilots who messed up” than planes have malfunctions and can crash. There was a crash where they blames the pilots for a microburst in clear weather at about 1200 feet in a jet which is extraordinarily hard and nearly impossible to recover from. Always putting all the blame on the pilots leads to dangerous ideas like “pilotless planes will solve all crashes” which is nonsense. Pilots solve issues all the time that are caused by autopilots and automation but that’s never heard about because it doesn’t end up as a crash because of human intervention. I am not saying the pilots couldn’t have saved the plane I am just saying you cannot put all the blame on the pilots. That system is also to blame.
