How is it in a different league? We know why the planes crashed, and we know what to do to fix it. Add some AOA redundancies, and get a new type certification that requires pilot retraining.

Safety is not a complicated goal to achieve. You identify hazards and you rectify them. The hard part is identifying them, which in this case has already tragically happened.



Not really. The fix for the cargo doors was not affecting the aerodynamics, centre of gravity and how the plane handled. The pilots didn't need updated type certification for the fixed cargo doors.

Your easy fixes for the dreaded 737 max sound like those of an armchair expert.


It is my understanding that the inherent handling characteristics of the 737 Max would have been acceptable under a new type certification, without MCAS. Is this incorrect?
