Is the 737 MAX Dangerous AGAIN?

In late 2022, new aviation safety regulations were set to take effect. However, congress chose to exempt the 737 MAX from these standards. Will this make the plane dangerous again? #shorts

Anytime congress follows what the pilots are saying it’s a wise decision

[@jantjarks7946]

Outdated design tech isn't safer, but older. The B737 has to be replaced after both, the MAX-7 and -10 are introduced. That's the only sensible way forward. However, if Boeing still gets it approved. Introduction of both have been delayed so far that the exception granted ran out of the given time limit.

Either give all Maxes EICAS or give it to none of them.

[@evancline24]

[@vasilisbill]

Its not that simple, Boeing will have to recertify max 8 and 9 from the beginning which means more time delays and more money need to be spent in order to be airworthy. Also to retrain pilots for the type that they already have and mechanics included will be very costly as well

So no one wants that. As is, not certifying max 8,9 is acceptable as long as it doesn't impair the pilot ability to flight the plane safely.

​@bullseyebrave88 your tesla example/analogy is simply not correct. All new cars have seat belts because that's the rule/standard. The 737 OEM missed the original deadline, so these new aircraft to be certified should be equipped with eicas. Does this mean a significant major change to the current TC? Yes, so should be on a new TC/TCDS, consequently pilots should be trained. The FAA exemption is just to favour the OEM, and based on financial purposes... again

Coming from 15+ years on 737's, and busy with my conversion to a bigger Boeing with EICAS, I have to say that I *LOOOOVE* the 737's simplicity. So far, all EICAS has done for me is increase my study load. With the 737, you know exactly what you're getting. You always look in exactly the same place for the same things, it always warns you when something has triggered a fault (none of this 'oh, but *this* failure is inhibited to 400', but *this* one isn't' kind of stuff). The 737's checklist is always immediately in front of you for normal ops, and it's not like a paper QRH is hard to use for the non-normals, unless you're a vegetable. Electronic checklists have only added a layer of complexity that I frankly didn't think I needed, and I don't care that it's auto-completed any items it can sense conditions/switch positions of. I'm sure I'll get used to them, but so far all it adds is complication. The way this 'news' has been put is ridiculous. At no point has any 737 been endangered by it's warning systems. The system is simple, works, and the worst that can happen is multiple dead bulbs IMHO (I have 10K+ hours on all generations of 737 except the MAX: -200, 300, 400, 500, 800) Yeah, I miss the 737, how could you tell?

It's dangerous, because of Boeings unacceptable work culture. The very reason why even the 737-900 has to be checked. Which still belongs to the NG versions. In other words, it's a long term issue and embedded in many work processes already. Who knows what still could be found again by the NTSB in the lacking and worrying product documentation processes. Door plug removal required documentation. The door plug opening didn't, despite the very same work steps being required. And seemingly the very reason why the incident happened in the first place. No one had to sign off the door plug being put in again.

[@SharpCosmos]

@@jantjarks7946 I'm not saying you're wrong. Boeing is unstoppable and this issue won't hurt them much at all. Many parties are at fault from Alaska knowing about a problem and ignoring it, Boeing not caring, and the company who makes the fuselages poor quality control. Though it can be fixed unlike some other aircraft such as the DC-10.

What did you mean by EICAS activating, increasing the chances of a fatal incident? It was my understanding the FAA and EASA required it to be more like ECAM, popping up with a ‘recommended actions’ checklist.

[@WarHawkAU24]

I believe the point is, if you fly 2 max variants and one has it, but the other doesnt, it might not be second nature. Lets ise Southwest Airlines for example. They fly the max 8 without it. Now lets say they add the max 7 with it. Pilots have gone do long flying without it, if it pops up in a max 7, their reaction time could actually drop since no muscle memory has been developed. It could cause them to react to the problem slower possibly slowing reaction time. I think that's the fear, but just my thoughts.

No cuz it basically would require all of those pilots to be retrained on a very similar aircraft to what they’ve been using.

[@davecrupel2817]

Unfortunately, incorporating an EICAS type system in one's airplane is not as simple as installing a new screen. You will need to _COMPLETELY_ re-wire your aircraft. All kinds of new computers, sensors & probes will need to be added on to your aircraft and your engines. This means nothing less than converting your entire plane from analog & electromechanical to almost completely electronic systems. Which is the big fundamental difference between Boeing & Airbus. (As well as other manufacturers.) It's something that Boeing will have to slowly do, over time, if they want to convert their narrowbodies or wide bodies. Only way they can do it all at once is with an entirely new airplane. Not another 737. This is why pilots are only half the story. You need to consult us maintenance technicians as well.

This was the right decision by the FAA, it doesn’t make the Max more dangerous.
