BOEING
More than 300 people lost their lives when the two Boeing 737 MAX aircraft crashed. Would these accidents have happened if the pilots had a simple way to bypass the control system in an emergency and fly the aircraft manually? We will never know.
What if the control system fails again? Doesn’t the probability for failure increase with control complexity? With worldwide sales of these aircraft and varied pilot experience levels, why doesn’t Boeing provide an aircraft that allows pilots to quickly bypass the automatic control system in an emergency and fly the plane manually?
The news media have reported that pilot attempts to manually fly the 737 MAX were defeated by the control system. With all aircraft, should not safety be more important than aircraft delivery schedules and profits? If flying safety is a concern, why bother flying?
Please note that Neil Armstrong landed the lunar lander on the moon manually when the control system failed.
