Yes, it’s called a yaw damper function of the autopilot system. Sometimes it’s built in to the autopilot and sometimes it’s a separate system.

Dutch roll really isn’t a problem for non-swept wing aircraft.

[NorthMountain]

You and I are talking about very different things ...

It really is amazing how easily people are manipulated ... they’ll even get multiple doses of mRNA injections

Not to mention the fact that tens of millions are manipulated everyday by the Deep State controlled hard left news media, most of whom have bought the confirmed falsehood that the 2020 election was not stolen!

Over 14,000 feet makes that a Mile High Club.

[Red Badger]

Almost three mile high.....................

Cracks on the Max??

You should not be seeing cracks on new airplanes. 20, 30 year old ones, yes.

The plane was parked overnight at the New Orleans airport on May 16 during thunderstorms and heavy rain.

When I was stationed in England and worked on F-4s the Angle of Attack probe would corrode due to the high moisture and cause the altimeters to go crazy. The faulty AOA information fed into the Central Air Data Computer (CADC) which drove the altimeters plus the CADC also had outputs to the autopilot system (among others), so I wouldn't rule out an indirect cause.

This is why I think the FAA has to be considering a grounding of every Boeing airliner manufactured since 2010 and subjecting each airplane to a C-level inspection and parts replacement if needed.

[Semper Vigilantis]

Sounds like inferior/counterfeit parts/metals. Thanks, China.

[freedomlover]

Yep - See also “death wobble”

Man to cabin attendant:” How often do these planes crash?”

Attendant answers:”Just once sir.”

[T.B. Yoits]

Seems like a maintenance union problem, not a Boeing problem.

Possibly, but it could also be an issue with the parts from Boeing and they have had issues with counterfeit ones.

He’s talking about ON THE RAMP! Definitely remove before flight!

[steve86]

I think it’s more likely inadequate design parameters or execution than defective or counterfeit materials in this case.

Then you would have the equivalent of the 9/11 shutdown-as most of the planes in service are Boeing.

Boeing has a couple of facilities in Ogden. I don’t see any Southwest facilities there.

I worked Minuteman III and Hill AFB at Ogden has a very strong Boeing presence because they are prime on Minuteman and Hill AFB is the maintenance depot for that program.

Lots of that story don't make a lot of sense. How a broken plane that was grounded in Oakland wound up in Ogden is a mystery. Did the reporters screw up Ogden for Oakland?

Boeing would do tear down failure analysis at their factories in Washington or South Carolina and Southwest has their major maintenance depot in Texas. Neither do major commercial maintenance operations in Utah that I know.

If someone out there can explain how the plane got to Ogden please tell us.

[Texas Fossil]

Thanks for explanation. Makes sense.
