How the flight controls affect An Airplane 737 MAX

 


As a general matter whenever an airplane accident occurs the presumption is the pilot did something wrong. Quite often, this is correct. However, not always as with the case of the 737 Max. The flight accident investigators determined that the airplane angle of attack indicator. As determined from the black box(which is usually red). The pilots attempted to fight the assist however, it was more powerful then the pilots physical strength. One of the first checks we do as a pilot at engine start is check to make sure we can over power the autopilot. However, if this isn't even on the check list or not realistic or not trained for then as a pilot you don't know what you don't know.

The Flight Controls:

In the planes that I currently train in there is a auto pilot release button. Essentially, if the autopilot is engaged, the pilot hits the button and auto pilot disengages. This is important because the autopilot can put you in a pitch or flight direction that is not good. The 737 Max accident occurred because of what was essentially an auto pilot control system that attempts to prevent stalls. A stall is when the airplanes angle of attack reaches it critical angle. This is known a airflow separation.

This angle of attack indicator was a type of auto pilot that got stuck and indicated to a computer that the plane was in an attitude that it was not. This thus forced the plane into a nose down dive. Quite a bit of this article is about how a go no go pressure caused certain aircraft design deficiency's. This is similar to why the Challenger Shuttle blew up. Because upper management ignored the warnings of lower level employees.

Image

Why The Drivers Exchange of Information is Important. When the local authorities arrive on the scene they usually speak to each driver, passengers and any witnesses. The officer will typically collect information about every one they talk to and what the officers findings were. The officer will then put this information in a police report.
