After months of development and discussion with federal aviation regulators, Boeing plans to brief about 200 pilots at its Renton, Washington facilities Wednesday on its fixes for the 737 Max jets involved in two fatal crashes since October.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> The plane has been grounded since mid-March following the deadly accidents where a part of the plane's flight control system is suspected of causing, at least in part, the crashes that killed all 346 people aboard the jets.
Many believe the automated flight control system — the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS — continually pushed the nose of the plane down despite the pilots repeatedly trying to correct the move. The new software will allow MCAS to push the nose of the plane lower just once and only for 10 seconds at most.
That will change in the future with both sensors feeding data into the automated flight control system. And if the readings between the two sensors are substantially different, they will not trigger MCAS. It will additionally include another indicator showing if the angle of attack sensors disagree that will now be standard equipment in all 737 Max airplanes.
