Three FCC functions have been deployed to the 737 that are active while the pilot is flying manually.

1.Mach Trim
2.Speed Trim System (STS)
3.Maneuver Characteristics Augmentation System, MCAS (737 MAX only)
Mach Trim

As the speed of the airplane increases, the nose starts to drop. This is called mach tuck. When the airplane airspeed is more than mach 0.615, the mach trim function gives an up elevator to keep the nose of the airplane level. This function operates with or without the autopilot engaged or the flight director on.

Speed Trim

When the engine thrust is high and the airspeed is low, the speed trim function keeps the speed set by the pilots with commands to the horizontal stabilizer. This function primarily occurs during takeoff and only operates when the autopilots are not engaged. The flight directors may be on or off.

MCAS

MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) is implemented on the 737 MAX to enhance pitch characteristics with flaps UP and at elevated angles of attack.

The MCAS function commands nose down stabilizer to enhance pitch characteristics during steep turns with elevated load factors and during flaps up flight at airspeeds approaching stall.

MCAS is activated without pilot input and only operates in manual, flaps up flight.

The system is designed to allow the flight crew to use column trim switch or stabilizer aisle stand cutout switches to override MCAS input.

The function is commanded by the Flight Control computer using input data from sensors and other airplane systems.

The MCAS function becomes active when the airplane Angle of Attack exceeds a threshold based on airspeed and altitude. Stabilizer incremental commands are limited to 2.5 degrees and are provided at a rate of 0.27 degrees per second.

The magnitude of the stabilizer input is lower at high Mach number and greater at low Mach numbers.

The function is reset once angle of attack falls below the Angle of Attack threshold or if manual stabilizer commands are provided by the flight crew…

If the original elevated AOA condition persists, the MCAS function commands another incremental stabilizer nose down command according to current aircraft Mach number at actuation.

The first two, Mach trim and Speed Trim, do things that are relatively easy to understand in plain (plane?) English: they keep what the pilot is trying to do happening behind the scenes.

The third, the MCAS which is only on the 737 MAX, tries to compensate for ascents that could cause a stall by angling the nose down and accelerating, also without the pilot’s intervention.

The concerns I saw was that not only is this not documented, but that while direct intervention from the pilot of the MCAS kicks in will override the MCAS, it doesn’t disable it, so the pilot may be basically fighting the system if they’re doing a climb, it kicks in and starts to angle the plane down, the pilot pulls it back up, but it’s still in the conditions that would cause it to activate again. So that’s extra terrible if the pilot doesn’t know what is happening or why.

Anyway, I haven’t read the link Skipper posted in the time I spent composing this, I bet it’s more concise and better explained than my third-hand retelling, but I’m definitely fascinated by this thing I didn’t know existed 24 hours ago.

MCAS surely sounds like the culprit, again, though it will be a while before they announce anything. In the meantime, I’ve always wondered what happens to airlines when there is a major event for a specific aircraft type like this. Do the sue the maker? Especially so in this case with it being so soon from the manufacturing date?

What is MCAS
I think what makes it worse is I read somewhere that the first jet went through a period of up/down pitch, so either they were fighting it, or it was very seriously malfunctioning. Either way is no bueno.

FBI Boston should arrest all of Hollywood and friends and then weed them out.
Good job FBI!

We are having a mix of freezing rain, snow, rain. Schools closed again. This has been going on for over a month now.

I am trying to catch up on the thread but I never make it. Is there anything exciting happening that I should know about?

While you may never personally become addicted, the chances of knowing someone who struggles with it are high. If you, or someone you know needs help, please be brave enough to ask, or strong enough to stand with them as they fight through the disease.

Pretty rich. Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 running mate, the speaker who lied to us and didn't deliver Wall funding (and then lost the house) gives advice on winning.

Good morning, Spunky.

With all the rain we got all night long and this morning, it is now sort of snowing, will continue tomorrow.

You really have had a long hard winter.

Anything EXCITING happening?

Nasty is having a hard time with her young renegades, so fun to watch.

Ohr’s testimony before the Congress was released last Friday, contradicted RR and McCabe.

Cohen testified again and lied some more, no shock.

Cummings referred him to the DOJ for perjury.

Now just patiently waiting for the Mueller Report so we can get on with the declass.

NIKK...giving voice to MilSpac Ops Monkey...

A few more data-points on the Ethiopian 737 Max crash that indicate this is a false flag event: 1. Look at the hole. ZERO ground burn. ZERO! This acft was 6 min after taking off & full of fuel. The ground isn’t even smoking at the impact site.

Bodies. In tact, bagged and tagged. How does a plane with 157 people, hit the ground at high impact (with only fragments of acft to be seen) pull out dozens of intact bodies? What about luggage, acft seats, etc.

The Engines: Note the size of the engine core on the ground next to the workers, now look at the size of the guy walking next to the one on the wing (granted that’s fully dressed with cowlings) but this looks more like a PT6A for the APU than a CFM56 family engine.

Leadzippo

So this habbens right after NK USA failed negotiations but Vietnam signs deal with Boeing.. Mar 01, Vietjet and the Boeing Company officially inked a major deal for the airline to purchase 100 new 737 MAX airplanes WTF

mutter

It's a helicopter engine.

Well....I think it looks ok compared to the oct. 29 Indonesian crash, engine foto below, just broken in half ??
