Or maybe in this case, for no known reason, Boeing decided to build an autopilot that the human pilot can’t override.
Boeing engineers are thorough. It’s hard to believe MCAS and an exterior sensor are the cause.
Boeing designs for fault tolerance and always with options for pilots to override.
It’s something else.
Or maybe in this case, for no known reason, Boeing decided to build an autopilot that the human pilot can’t override.
...
The same Lion Air 737 that crashed had the same problem on a previous flight, but the pilots in that case knew what they were doing and got the plane to its destination safely.
The problem is Boeing didn’t build a plane that’s safe from pilots that are incompetent.
Or cannot react in time. Auto planes are a double edged sword. They may be safer to fly under all conditions, because of a computer programmed to handle all conditions, but there is no constant correcting that seasoned pilots have to do constantly.
Seasoned pilots have to problem solve before anything becomes a problem, so they get to know their planes intimately. With auto planes, it could be weeks or months between correcting problems, so how do become seasoned when you don’t have to do anything for days or weeks?
