Boeing have not solved this crash. The same aircraft (PK-LQP) had four previous roller coaster rides and pilots on those flights noted airspeed errors. In response Lion Air engineers replaced a faulty Angle of Attack sensor before the fatal flight yet the fault clearly persisted.
In effect what this means is that the problem that downed JT610 has still not been correctly identified and there will be another similar B737MAX crash again in the future.
Training pilots is becoming MORE and MORE difficult…..they have to be trained not only in normal flying, but then they need to learn ALL THE QUIRKS of a particular aircraft’s FLY BE WIRE and how to deactivate it when necessary! NIGHTMARE. Coming soon to cars. Should be called MISFLY BY WIRE! Souls lost.
Pilots and First Officers should be REQUIRED to know how to MANUAL FLY airplanes they are assigned. Not sure that they are. If comfortable in Manual FLY mode, they would be less reluctant to Turn Off Auto Pilot and go to Manual Control.
When Auto Pilot computer misbehave(s), Flight Crews spend too much time trying to understand the Sensor Data input(s) and Auto Pilot behavior(s) and there is simply no time to do this. Better to Turn Off Auto Pilot immediately and take Manual Control of the airplane.
Respectfully submitted.
It is the pinnacle of engineering malpractice and negligence to design the Boeing 737 MAX such that the failure of a single component can drive the nose of the plane into the ground. Stupid engineers design systems on which the malfunction of a single sensor can cause a catastrophic failure that results in the loss of hundreds of lives. Stupid engineers design systems that rely on everything going as planned. A competent engineer anticipates what can go wrong and designs in redundancy to harden the system against such occurrences, especially when such occurrences can result in catastrophic loss. As Murphy’s Law states, “What can go wrong, will go wrong at some point.” Competent engineering practices require design of redundancy into critical control systems. The fact that, in spite of the negligible cost of such redundancy, it was sold as an option on the 737 MAX, shows Boeing’s callous disregard for the lives of its product users. Someone in Boeing engineering needs to go to jail for this act of gross negligence which is nothing short of murder.

Comforting to know that Southwest Airlines has the most 737 MAX planes in North America.
Comforting to know that Southwest has the most enviable safety records in the business.
yeah, pretty enviable…
