I agree with you but the Air Force and Lockheed needs to figure out the problem.If they have to ground the planes but do it a few at at time. I am willing to bet its some small part that is causing the problem.
Small part, yep.. Just like cars.. Start with the small stuff and work your way up from there.
I don’t think it is a small part. Instead, it is a complex system, which in some circumstances leads to tragic results. I believe the basic scenario is that the intake system, which comes from an engine bleed, gets mucked up. It is believed that this is the result of too much cold or moisture into the bleed system.
The problem is that, apparently, there are no monitors to identify this scenario. Instead, the pilot starts to feel light-headed. Unfortunately, it is not a minor maneuver to kick the backup oxgen system into gear.
As I understand it, the likely scenario for the crash was that the pilot did not complete this maneuver successfully before he passed out. That is the heart of the problem, as far as I have read to date.
