instudiocity Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Naah. No one will ever get on a future 737 Max flight. It’s a bad design that cannot be fixed. Same thing doomed the Concorde. The Concorde flew for 27 years. What doomed the Concorde was wear, tear, use and old age. Now, where do I find the roll eyes emoji?Yes, WHERE, indeed?

Max Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The Concorde flew for 27 years. What doomed the Concorde was wear, tear, use and old age. Yes, WHERE, indeed? I was being facetious of course. Concorde has a design flaw that allowed a disrupted tire tread to puncture the fuel tank. But that was re-engineered and the planes returned to flight. What doomed the Concorde was economics.

+ glutes Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 And a bit more complicated with the MAX-8 and -9...the issue here is that ***apparently*** the airplane thinks it's stalled so pushes the nose down to recover and pilots were not able to (or did not) disengage that [MCAS] system and continue flight. Grounding probably safest strategy until more is known and a software update can be pushed out.

Max Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Saw the WSJ article. Will be interested to hear logic for disabling the sensor mismatch warning. That's not something they would have done without some thought. And until we do...hoping for a dip in stock price on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ glutes Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Max, looks like your name sake is further delayed returning to the skies... Some U.S. airline executives, for their part, have suggested that they may hesitate to start flying MAX jets before a core group of foreign carriers also takes the step. European regulators, moving slower than the FAA, are conducting a safety review of the MAX fleet stretching beyond an assessment of the specific fix. “Everyone is being forced to take a cold, hard look at the calendar and reassess what’s possible,” said one U.S. government official briefed on the shifting timeline. The logistics of taking jetliners out of storage, which entails special inspections, engine checks and other preparations, also could add weeks of delay between an FAA action lifting the flight ban and having the aircraft carry passengers. ~Wall St. Journal ~ bigvalboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five people were killed, 10 others were injured and one person was unaccounted for Monday after two floatplanes carrying cruise passengers taking part in shore excursions collided in mid-air over Southeast Alaska, officials said. Princess Cruises confirmed that the pilot of a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver and all four passengers were killed in the collision with a de Havilland Otter DHC-3 just after 1 p.m. local time near the town of Ketchikan. https://www.foxnews.com/us/alaska-floatplanes-down-coast-guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ glutes Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) The more information that comes out about your namesake Max, the worse it gets for Boeing. The lawsuits are gonna be epic. Weeks after the first fatal crash of the 737 Max, pilots from American Airlines pressed Boeing executives to work urgently on a fix. In a closed-door meeting, they even argued that Boeing should push authorities to take an emergency measure that would likely result in the grounding of the Max. The Boeing executives resisted. They didn’t want to rush out a fix, and said they expected pilots to be able to handle problems. ~NYTimes 14MAY2019~ Edited May 15, 2019 by Oaktown + quoththeraven and bigvalboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
