As a semi-recovered aerophobe, 737 Max saga is quite disturbing. The key seems to me, from a legal & moral pov, the failure to require training on a very new feature of the plane. Technologies can have unexpected, tragic results. Failure to tell pilots abt it? V hard to explain.

So it’s about much more than the plane but also the airlines.

United bought all the extras.

Boeing sold this plane to airlines flying 737-800 since it would require minimum training. That was the error….. That said, pilots still should have known enough to get out of this as even some modern single engine planes have envelope protection systems. Not unusual.

From what I have seen in the media the new system was counter-intuitive compared to a typical control system. Apparently, it was designed to prevent a runaway feed back loop.

A redundant reading would be a good but sensor failures occur and are routinely recovered from. Airbus is more automated. Also, remember AF 447? Anti-stall technology has generally made planes safer. This is a confluence of events which should be studied—but include the airline.

Shades of Three Mile Island and the stuck-open PORV. The same problem with the same valve was noted prior to the accident at other plants but that information wasn't effectively communicated to TMI operators.
