  1. the simulator works just like the real plane... in this case.. As the sim is running the same flight control software.. As soon as the flight software (laws) get approved it will get programing into a real plane and tested there also..

  2. No it's won't be different or worse. Your thinking of the 737 max as a new plane it's not it's a old design with new engines and feature. So the airframe does not need to be fully qualified. This is a software change and the software will work the same in the air as it does on the ground as its runs on sensor inputs. The AOA devices that sent the bad data are not new they are standard equipment on all 737's well all jets. In this case, the mcas system made use of only one of two devices and that one sent bad data to the flight computer. Changes that will be made to the software. 1) limits on the pitch laws. (it won't keep trimming nose down after it reaches 5%) 2) faster trimming speeds at low airspeeds (faa request) 3) Inputs from both AOA devices... 4) warnings for AOA discrepancies 5) better documentation for the mcas 6) I think they will add a warning light and tone. So that a AOA failure won't get confused with a stall warning. 6) warnings about overspeed limits and how they affect trim...

  3. @UCqPJ-fPRmBtI4RmfkLcLLoQ these engines are going nowhere.. the plane is stable. The mcas system was added as a safety feature. to correct a pitching behavior when operating at high thrust, low airspeeds and high angles of attack. You don't even need the mcas to fly the plane it was added to help a pilot encase he was not paying attention.

  4. The crash, was do to a sensor failure, that compound a hidden software rules failure. A very unique set of events happend to make this crash.
