There is a simple resolution to the MAAX problem. Get rid of the FADEC system and take control of the engines away from Pratt & Whitney and give engine control back to the pilots. Problem solved.

Saying that tells me you rally don’t understand the problem at all. This has nothing to do with the engine controls.

Or implement it as well as Airbus has...

Aitlines want faedc so the a/c can be tied into Next Gen and pilots eliminated. Then all they’ll need is some remote control operators with a mouse and keyboard somewhere like Bangalore.

Keep it trimmed for flight and keep it in the donut. That’s pretty much all you need to succeed for enroute flight in any aircraft. That and talking on the radio.

Yep. Just disable the faulty system. Let the pilot rely on the tried and true “stick shaker” that shakes the control column when the aircraft is near stalling. When the stick shakes, it is the pilot’s decision about what to do; increase thrust or put the nose down a bit.

How many times can you be wrong in one sentence?

The 737 Max uses CFM LEAP-1B engines, not Pratt&Whitney.

FADEC is what gives the LEAP-1B engines the fuel efficiency that makes the Max better than the NG.

The FADEC on the LEAP-1B was designed by CFM, so the engine and FADEC were designed to work together. Without FADEC, the engine won’t run without FADEC, just as a modern car won’t run without an ECU.

Simpler solution. Pull off all the engines and replace them with ones that will fit the plane. Ditch the LEAPs for CFM-56 units.
