If you were better educated you would realize that the video's explanation of why MCAS is needed is wrong. THINK! If you can… If it was needed to compensate for excessive pitch up due to high thrust, it should operate at take off. But the flaps are extended during takeoff. MCAS only operates when the flaps are fully retracted. That confirms that the explanation is wrong. Simple minds using common sense (instead of a proper education) to try to understand complex subjects and explain it to others usually come up with plausible nonsense that other simpletons find easy to understand. What is easy to understand is easily believed to be the truth. That's how nonsense-spread via the internet-becomes education… just look at all the snide comments from Smart Alecs who believe they understand aeronautics and Boeing because they read a news article.

To get an idea about the monetary value Boeing places on human life, one only needs to look at what they set aside for the victims of the accidents. There were 346 lives lost in the two accidents and Boeing set aside $100 million to pay out to the crash victims. The list price of a 737 Max is around $125 million and there were two of them so the value of the planes lost is $250 million. That makes the value of the planes worth two and a half times the value of the human lives they took.

Seeing as how jets have been equipped with stall warning sensors, stick shakers, stick pushers, etc for decades, is MCAS even needed still as a separate system..? It’s design impetus as was revealed after the accidents was to try to keep the same handling characteristics when applying power as the previous generation of 737, to avoid recertification and retraining. But now that the the Max did need after the accidents to be recertified and crews were retrained, is there any point in having the separate and redundant MCAS…?

Great explanation Captain... thank you very much!

I have design autopilots, have an MS in aero form MIT. This situation troubles me. This situation raises fundamental design methodology issues. This is not the place for a major technical argument but let me raise one fundamental issue. The angle of attack is a much more complex flight parameter in this age of variable geometry AC than in was when flight control augmentation systems were first invented. Pitch, roll and Yaw are fundamentally inertial variables, and little has changed in regard to their utilization as feedback variables. Angle of attach is completely different. One could say it is an indicator of air speed direction at a particular sensor location. At a given time it's different all over the AC surface.This has impacted the 737, but really is an issue for all modern large AC. The Angle of attach sensed near the nose of an aircraft infers the angle of attack of the main wing through a complex relationship. This is a serious issue. I would agree with the Brits who are bucking for multiple aoc sensors.

Very interesting. I was in Acquisition for the USAF for 35 years but I worked in Avionics, not flight controls. The Air Worthiness has become very controlled process. I'm surprised that the AOA system was not at least double redundant. With triple redundancy the flight control computer would be able to compare the different inputs and pick the two that agree the most. Computers require good input to provide good output.

You've explained it very well, but I still can't get over the fact that they didn't see the crashes coming. I mean, fancy reasons aside, at the end of the day they programmed an aircraft to pitch automatically down toward the ground, against pilot input, based on information from a single sensor with no redundancy, and seemingly with not a single thought as to the consequences of a false positive reading from the alpha vane. What the hell did they expect was going to happen?? How can anyone have ever thought this was a good idea?

Very good video! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and personal opinion. Even as an avgeek and heavy global traveller (multiple round-the-world trips per year), I'm still not comfortable with the MAX. It seems to me that this is still a compromise. If I understand the MCAS is really only there as a cost saving measure - to save cost of more extensive training. But training is a short-term problem. Once pilots have converted to the MAX, then it's not such a big problem. I think it would have been better to disable MCAS completely and require the more extensive training. After all, it's a plane from the 1960s that's undergone extensive changes, yet still is the same "type." At some point the plane is just too different. Maybe these changes will be enough, but I can't help but feel that the FAA has allowed minimal changed (e.g., limited hardware changes) to help Boeing commercially. Adding to my fears that a deeper solution may be needed (plane and training), is the uncommanded pitch event of the 777x late last year. Even with all of the scrutiny and tragedy of the MAX, similar problems have made their way into the 777x. At least in the case of the 777x, the FAA seems to be taking a harder stance in telling Boeing that it will be years before it can be certified. Hopefully continued concerns are unnecessary and the MAX will be just as safe as the NG. Meanwhile, I will be avoiding the MAX for the foreseeable future.

Cleared up a lot of the mystery regarding the MCAS on the Max; why the crashes happened. The next thing in line, is the PROPER pilot training for this aircraft. Like the idea that MCAS has a limit on how much pitching down it is allowed to do, and that it can be disconnected using the switch on the yoke.

I usually avoid commenting about controversial topics but i really want to speak about this. I think creating the MCAS is a great thing and I always support innovation that's how we progress in technlogy. However, Boeing created MCAS not for science advancement reasons but for economical reason. They could have still sold the 737 Max even without the MCAS, even by forcing pilotes to do extra training , airlines would want to invest because the engines efficiency is very tempting. But Boeing wanted to create the deal of the century by making it not only fuel efficient but Also no training required, as i said MCAS is a good thing but created for the wrong reasons.

MCAS wasn't developed simply for economical reasons. If it really was then there would have been no need to update its design. Boeing would have simply removed it since all aviation authorities were going to make retraining of MAX pilots compulsory anyway. MCAS was actually developed to tackle a real technical problem in the design of the MAX. The official documents prove that the MAX did not meet the FAA's requirement for static stability at high AOAs in certain airplane configurations and that was what MCAS aimed to correct (as the name "maneuvering characteristics augmentation" implies). However the fact that Boeing put undue emphases in economy led to them making some of the errors in its design that contributed to the crashes.

Their engineers at BOING messer dup relly bad. If they ran it in the STIMULAROT and di dnof find aproblem the BOING IS SUPER DANGOROUS.

I understand much better now. If a 737 captain feels it is safe, then I know it will be safe for me too.

Thank you very much Sir for this video. You even preached a convinced, because indeed I also think that the 737 max has certainly become one of the most secure planes on the market, taking into account the numerous tests that it has had to undergo by the various authorities.

This was a great video and explanation of the issues.

I think it would have been good to point out that the trim runaway procedure is common knowledge amount pilots and that they occur in many types and models of aircraft. Good video nonetheless.👍

I'll let people fly it for a year or two and watch.... Luckily, my local airport (GVA) is mostly served by Airbus airlines.

@@birgerkagan6087 This was more than 10 years and today there's not as many A330s flying than back then. And those which still do, a lot of them are pretty recent (5-6 years at max) and many of the early versions defaults have been corrected, just as much as pilot training was.

The problem is Boeing are messing around with a 1960s designed fuselage that's fairly low to the ground that was only designed for the older torpedo style engines found on the 100/200 series 737s. Airbus launched its a320 neo which is a far more stable aircraft, this caused Boeing to launch the max with its bigger engines but like the great explanation on here these engines had to be fitted slightly further forwards and higher on the wings.

Such an awesome video captain! As an aviation enthusiast and maybe future pilot, i wold like to fly this aircraft too! I am getting sure day by day that this aircraft is safe. Have nice flights captain!

Answer: NO! It was not the pilots fault since no one told them about the MCAS and certainly no one trained them to handle the situation. The MAX has oversized engines and this modification to the ancient fuselage design results in an aircraft that is inherently unstable. Now Boeing used software to rectify this mechanical problem. This is criminal on Behalf of Boeing. If its Boeing then I ain't going.

For the amount of scrutiny this plane has been through, it will probably be the safest aircraft around.

The problem will remain they want to keep it within the NG type rating and it's not an NG. The MAX will be safe when and only when it get it's own type rating.

I don’t think it need it’s own type rating. A type rating consists of knowledge of how the components in the aircraft work and the maneuvering characteristics. The second part is where the simulator training and extra pilot training goes into. No doubt the 737 replacement will be the new type rating.

Great explanation! Thank you )

I trust it, because we both saw what happened last time: lives ended, money lost, public opinion of Boeing and their plane permanently damaged- the only reason I have any trust in the MAX myself is that Boeing doesn't want the bad publicity again. The reason they lied in the first place was to get money, but clearly that backfired, so this time, they likely learned from their mistake. Cutting corners that could cost lives does not earn you money.

As a 30k hour training captain, with over 10k hours in command on the 737, I would jump in and fly a Max literally in a heartbeat. Yes, the MCAS was very poorly done, (yet still flyable when it misbehaves by properly trained pilots) and yes, it’s fine now with a software rewrite. Well explained, couldn’t pick any significant problems with your description.

A great design is one where the pilot does not have to manage a crisis caused by a flaw design deliberateley not corrected for profit.

I always buy reconditioned electronic devices because I know a human has actually run it through its paces. I've never had a problem with a reconditioned device and they are less expensive for some reason. Sounds the MAX might be the safest new plane ever since they have gone over everything with a fine toothed comb because if it fails again Boeing is done.

If we’re going to really receive all the silver lining benefit from this tragedy, we should focus as much on its revelation of third world pilot limited experience and competency, as these crews’ failures to follow long standing runaway trim procedures turned a Boeing/FAA hazardous situation into a deadly one.

The test consisted of making a number of calculations to come up with a single numeric correct answer, with the result of the first calculation to be used in the second - the second in the third, and so on. Seeing that if only one mistake was made anywhere in the process he would score a zero on the test, my friend raised his hand and asked the Chinese professor: "If we show our work in the margins, will we get partial credit?" To which the wise old professor replied in his heavy accent: "Partial credit? You want partial credit? You design bridge, bridge fall down, you get partial credit? No no, you get whole blame. No partial credit!" Wise indeed.
