American Airlines 'unaware' of some Boeing 737 MAX functions until last week
American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O) said on Wednesday it was "unaware" of some functions of an anti-stall system on Boeing Co's (BA.N) 737 MAX until last week. Boeing and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued guidance on the system last week after a Lion Air jet crashed in Indonesia on Oct. 29, killing all 189 people on board. The FAA warned airlines last week that erroneous inputs from the system's sensors could lead the jet to automatically pitch its nose… (www.yahoo.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

good grief! when a person buys a new car,you want to know all of the buttons,controls and whatever else happens to be in front of you on the vehicle..you also generally want to know about the engine and any and all computer systems the vehicle might have..i cannot believe that one of the largest carriers around,american airlines,would purchase new aircraft without having all of the "specs",computer systems,etcetera checked out and written out for the maintenance personnel and the pilots who might be flying that aircraft...wow..boeing has a lot of explaining to do, and so does American for not asking more questions..in spite of new technology,we still need trained pilots who know what they are dealing with!!
How are they supposed to ask about a system that Boeing never even documented the plane having to begin with? What an asinine comment.
How is that an asinine comment?..if you ask about an aircraft's specs, should the manyfacture not be obliged to tell EVERYTHING about that craft, whether the buttheads forgot to place it in a manual or not? And if they did not indicate the system, even verbally, that is going to be an even greater strike mark against them.
thank you rapidwolve..it appears as though making an intelligent observation is "asinine" to some,and since I seemingly am the only female making a comment here,mr rb must not think a woman would or should have intelligent questions regarding the "specs" of an aircraft newly manufactured..the point behind the flight aware website is to comment and question on posted articles,not to insult others who post...
