Cockpit voice recorder of doomed Lion Air jet depicts pilots' frantic search for fix
The pilots of a doomed Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX scoured a handbook as they struggled to understand why the jet was lurching downwards, but ran out of time before it hit the water, three people with knowledge of the cockpit voice recorder contents said.

It is a shame financial liability issues delay release of preliminary info from the voice recorder of Ethiopian Flight 302. It would be interesting to hear the dialog in light of yesterday’s announcement by the Ethiopiann Aviation Authority that the crew did everything right.
Why don't they let pilots fly anymore? That is what they are trained to do. The equipment should be a backup, not the pilot in command. Spoken from a non pilot of anything but a car.
....man, this forum has become a joke...
How stupid to use the language you used. It only shows a lack of vocabulary. I concur with your sentiment but not the language.
Why hasn't the FAA or Boeing or any responsible news service mentioned that this specific type of problem has happened previously? On March 17th and 22nd, the Smithsonian tv channel aired what happened on October 7, 2008 to Quantas flight 74 over the Indian Ocean at 37,000 feet. It was an Airbus A-330 with a former US Navy Top Gun pilot. This same problem happened to two additional Quantas A-330's. Also an Air Canada A320 in 2017 and a Malaysian L-1011 in 2005...all traced to the ADIRU (Air Data Inertial Reference Unit) which tagged altitude information to the flight control computer as angle-of-attack data leading the computer to think the plane was pitching up and going to stall and causing a nose down command.So these "attitude augmentation" systems have been around for many years in both Boeing and Airbus aircraft and experienced pilots should be aware of them. There should have been no loss of life if these two Asian airlines had experienced pilots instead of 200 hour boy wonders with mostly simulator training!!! GET OFF BOEING'S BACK!!!
Lets call a spade a spade. Boeing created a Frankenstein of an aircraft by placing an extremely good design up to the -500 series on a hard diet of steroids and top it all off they jumped extremely important design review and approval stages to get them out to customers. They are going to pay hell for their arrogance.
