MCAS is not an anti-stall system. The media has pushed that narrative.And [mention=1245]Bobby_Batronic[/mention], in your professional opinion is the stall potential on this aircraft great enough to allow the MCAS system surface control, or should a warning or alarm be sufficient for a pilot to investigate and correct?
Neither of these airplanes were anywhere near a stall. The angle of attack indicators failed, so MCAS did what it was told.
The airspeed tape turns amber to red and black as you near stall speed for your configuration. A pitch limit indicator is displayed on the attitude indicator right in front of your face (with flaps extended) telling you margin of pitch remaining until stick shaker, which is still above stall speed.
Stalls are still happening in this industry. They're just happening 7 miles up where the jet is thrust limited and the margin between min and max speed is small (the top of the flight envelope). Don't go above OPT altitude in turbulence or mountain wave kids. -
MCAS is not an anti stall device. It's a feel unit to give similar handling characteristics of the previous NG models.This video was posted several pages back. Thought it was good. He has several on his youtube channel.
Part of the problem with the 737 is that it is the entry aircraft for new hires around the world to their narrow body fleets. It's current form is not a starter airplane for someone with no exposure to swept winged transports. Lion FO never trimmed. ET FO was along for the ride. He'd be more useful serving diet cokes in the back at 200 hours.-

I'd rather watch Tucker strike out whilst chewing his gum.

Well, there are ways for non aggy civil engineers to design safer roads and highways.Always leaves my mind bottled when people blame a roadway for accidents/deaths.-

How dare you besmirch the 737-900er. It can get to FL330 on a hot day.

I agree with Francis.
I'm surprised at the number of pilots that partake because we get a discount at the spa at an international layover hotel. -
Jostens must intentionally wrong size those rings to sell a duplicate to those rubes. I've been trying to lose my wedding ring for 26 years and can't.

If he'd take a page from Michael Brantley's book and keep his head still while batting maybe he'd make contact. Dude's entire body moves because he's chewing 8 pieces of double bubble. Never not seen his jaw moving violently while batting.I wasn't concerned about his numbers during his cup of coffee last season, but I am growing concerned that scouts found a hole in his swing and pitchers have been abusing it. He's still young, but he is seeming less and less like the can't miss prospect he was made out to be. -

Agreed. Never saw a single Harry Potter movie either. Most of us with this opinion are of a certain age though. Just can't get into that dungeons and dragons type shit.I'm usually one of those "the books were better, but it's okay for what it is" kind of people. The fact that I have zero interest in reading the GOT books is enough to tell me that I have less than zero interest in watching the show. I can't wait for the phenomenon to be over. -

You read that wrong or they fucked it up, but they've pulled MAX from the schedule into August. UAL into July.
