Return of 737 Max Nears
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Tuesday it will soon issue a formal notice to allow for public comment ahead of an Airworthiness Directive that would clear Boeing’s 737 MAX to fly passengers again. This step is a clear signal that federal approval for the 737 MAX to return to service again in the U.S. is approaching. However, a person familiar with the process and the steps ahead said that a formal ungrounding is now unlikely before mid-October. (www.seattletimes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'll ride them!
As a side comment , on the grounding of all 737's , as a result of air traffic collapse , and all other varieties of aircraft , i heard on ABC's News with David Muir ,on Friday Nite , that on 2 737's ( Not the Max ) that had been sitting for a long time , experienced engine failures . Due to this , the NTSB suspects corroded Fuel Injectors , and advises all engines should be inspected . I figure , that as grounded aircraft ,due to Covid -19 , start to re-enter service ,there is going to be a lot of these types of problems . Please check the oil please .
Systems do fail and have put learns into a mach tuck.. 40 years in leaders IV seen them .fail
IM an ATP. CHECK AIRMEN. AND HAVE BEEN USED AS AN EXPERT WITNESS MANY TIMES IN COURT .BUT ONE SERIOUS. PIECE THAT WAS GETTING PUSHED ASIDE HERE IS PILOT SKILLS.. I HAVE GIVEN MANY CHECK RIDES. TAKE LEARJETS FOR EXAMPLE. IF YOU DIDNT GET THE STALL SWITCHES OFF IN A OVERSPEED. SYSTEM FALILUE IN THE SIMULATOR ,BECAUSE IT DOES HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. YOU DIDNT PASS YOUR TRAINING. . I HAVE SEEN MANY PILOTS PANUC AND LOOSE. IT IN THE SIMULATOR AS WELL AS IN A CHECKRIDE IN THE PLANE. WHAT HAPPEN HERE???.. WE IN AMERICA TRAIN ., AMERICA HAS THE BEST PILOTS IN THE WORLD ,, SOME DO SLIP THRU THE CRACKS .. BUT 300 HOUR PILOTS IN THOSE PLANES??? WILL NEVER CUT IT .. WE TRAIN WITH GOOD CAPTAINS FOR YEARS TO LEARN TO BE A GOOD COMMANDER.SO WE DONT PANIC IN A DEMANDING SITUATION LIKE THE MAX. OR A LEARJET THAT HAS KILLED MANY BUT WE HAD TO PERFORM. OR WE FAILED .. AND LOST JOBS .. THANKS
Hmmmm, all caps really necessary? I hope you don’t speak like you write but no judgment here! If you overspeed a Lear the puller will be very quick to bump the column back once or twice to get you a little below Mmo. Don’t recall having to turn off the “stall switches” unless you crunched an AOA vane from hitting a bird. Did that in a 20 series Lear but with the teledyne AOA system and all it did was gore the bird to pieces that then went through the little hole in the front of the CJ-610...fun times.
Sometimes Big Goverment will go to extremes to correct what should have been a small fix.
Down the road the handling of the Max 737 and the Covid-19 will be considered two of the bigger fiascos of modern times.
