You can bury your head in the sand all you want. Those who look at the facts can easily see that the way that MCAS was designed is so bad that it wouldn’t be fit for a toy. Not just one serious design problem, but many. It was criminally negligent.

Actually, I read every article on this subject.

For some reason, you, and the MSM, have never attempted to answer my very inconvenient observation.

The first Lion Air crash in October of 2018 may be understandable in that the aircrew did not recognize that they needed to perform the runaway trim procedure that all 737 pilots are required to memorize, but there is no excuse for the second Ethiopian Airlines crash in March of 2019.

The FAA and Boeing issued Emergency Airworthiness Directive 2018-23-51 on November 7th, 2018 that went to all operators of the 737 MAX worldwide, and it clearly spelled out how MCAS normally works, what can happen when the AOA sensor fails, and exactly what to do in order to immediately mitigate the problem.

(AD 2018-23-51 is located here in pdf form, read it for yourself.)

The Ethiopian Airlines pilots failed to follow the Emergency Airworthiness Directive. That is not on Boeing.
