Pilots have reported issues in U.S. with new Boeing jet
The pilots said that soon after engaging the autopilot on Boeing 737 Max 8 planes, the nose tilted down sharply. In both cases, they recovered quickly after disconnecting the autopilot.
American Airlines and Southwest Airlines operate the 737 Max 8, and United Airlines flies a slightly larger version, the Max 9. All three carriers vouched for the safety of Max aircraft on Wednesday The pilots talked it over later,"but can't think of any reason the aircraft would pitch nose down so aggressively," the co-pilot recounted.
"That's not to say it's not a problem," American Airlines pilot Dennis Tajer said of the incidents reported to NASA,"but it is not the MCAS. The autopilot has to be off for MCAS to kick in."
