  • Boeing’s new 737 MAX 10 is facing a regulatory deadline that could force the planemaker to upgrade the jet’s cockpit, or consider scrapping its production-a possibility CEO David Calhoun floated recently. WSJ’s Andrew Tangel explains.

    This is absurd. The regulations that Boeing says it can't meet were designed _specifically_ to prevent pilot confusion. Pilot confusion with this non-compliant system has been the primary or contributing cause of SEVEN accidents and 823 deaths on Boeing 757 and 737 airplanes, including the two 737Max crashes. The regulations were put in in 2011. Eleven years should be long enough to expect Boeing to figure out a way to comply with the law and not keep asking for special exemptions.

This ultimately did not happen and was withheld during submission as Boeing execs knew beforehand further financial overheads would be incurred. Don't get me wrong i'm not hating here i've always been very fond of Boeing aircraft my personal favorite being the 777 but it is what it is. Yes the 737 statistically is the safest AC going however this would be prior to the manufacture making a revision in order to compete with the 320 neo and then one thing led to another all in the name of saving $$.

    Why is Boeing constantly using Airbus to justify shortcuts around safety regulations?
    Airbus has a normal R&D department that is developing new planes. They have regulations, design rules and basic engineering principles for their work. The result are reasobably well engineered planes which are popular with the Airlinea and pilots.
    Airbus just chugged on and talked to airlines and pilots and developed a superior product, even in the face of a dominating competitor like Boeing.
    Boeing on the other hand invests as little as possible in R&D. They designed a great series of planes in the 60s with a state of the art user interface of the time.
    So, instead of developing new planes for consecutive models or variants, they kept bolting one kludge after another kludge.
    After all they know all there is to know about jets and customers bl00dy well should buy those old planes. They were Boeing quality after all!
    That seemed to.be very prifitable until it killed hundreds of people.
    Congress and the FAA are justifiably wary of Boeing's certification behaviour and understandvthatbthey need to protect the flying public of Boeing's shoddy practuces.
    Now once again the competitor argument is being made to justify another shortcut!
    How about doing the engineering right for once and not just politic around! Another shortcut may kill more people.
    But then, the US Congress finds it acceptable to hace schoolkids shot at school in the hundreds every year.
    If a government is not able to protect vulnerable kids, can it really be expected to give a flying fμ©k about a few hundred dead every few years?

    It’s arguably safer to certify the -10 as is with the same cockpit architecture as the -8 & -9 already in service so that commonality is retained across the platform. That way in unexpected/hazardous events, the pilots are more likely to be familiar with what best to do. Changing this 1 single model to new system could very well be argued to cause more issues in the sense that pilots might be confused as they now must memorize 2 completely different systems day to day. Let the -10 be certified as is. THEN mandate the new system be applied to all future models. Even the man who helped put the rule through congress argued this as the case. Is the safer route

      @@paulpark1170 Ahh yes, i am for real. Most 737 pilots are certified on multiple models. Moving the controls in only 1 model could cause issues. Its not like jumping from a 737 to an Airbus A320. All these variants of the 737 Max are virtually identical. Imagine you owned 3 cars. All of the same make & model. And from the outside they looked just about the same, abit ones longer than the others, but in the drivers seat they are identical. Identical dashes. And they feel the same to drive on the road. One had the wipers on the left stock with the directional, the other 2 had the wipers on the right. You drive all 3 cars every day, constantly swapping between the 3. When you go to hit the wipers, sometimes you'd reach for the wrong side, guaranteed, and go 'oh whoops, other car has them on that side'. Same concept here, except instead of windshield wiper controls, its warning messages and alerts. it adds a few precious seconds, having to remember 'ok in this model the controls i need are here, but in all other models there over here'. Seconds that are precious in a real emergency. And remember the pilots are jumping between the 3 variants all day long. I.E. United already has the Max 8 & Max 9 and has ordered the Max 10 as well. The same pilots will be flying all 3 guaranteed. Pilots don't fly 1 plane per day, they usually fly several different planes per day, at least for domestic flights like the 737 is primarily used for. Its not like their jumping from a 737 to a 777 where its obvious what their flying at all times. All 3 models of the max look almost identical (they just get longer & longer) & most importantly FEEL identical to fly. Yes absolutely in emergencies or even in general the pilots might forget if their flying a -8 or a -9 or a -10 variant. I agree an updated cockpit layout is smart, but not on this generation solely due to the fact that 2 models of this generation already exist. Now add a 3rd model that pilots will be certified to fly all 3, and on 1/3 of the models the most critical controls are in a different spot? Not smart at all.

In Airbus flight decks there’s a safety system so that if one pilot starts making mistakes that could endanger the plane, reasons ranging from being arrogant enough to ignore company policy, getting confused, to something medical like a seizure or something then the other pilot can effectively lock the erring pilot out of the controls. I imagine it’s preferable for it to be a momentary problem and equal control can be restored.
      The erring pilot couldn’t retake control without physically attacking the one with the priority control. And for awhile I was convinced that Boeing must have an equivalent, but then I learned they don’t.

With Boeing 737 Max two crashes in the past, consumer confidence about Boeing 737 Max was pretty low and they know how poorly designed that Boeing 737 Max was. Whether the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is a flight stabilizing program developed by Boeing that become notorious for the crashes of two 737 Max and whether it will prevent future 737 Max from crashing again will remain to be seen. The FAA allowed Boeing to self-certify so Boeing didn’t go through the certification process. Boeing took an old design and they simply made it longer and then to compensate its fault, they put a bigger engines on it and try to solve it with software by putting an anti-stalling feature in and the glitches started to add up to the poor substandard design. It wasn’t a complete new design like Airbus. The Airbus is making better airplane than Boeing and America is losing out to Europe. Almost 300 planes that China ordered from Europe is a very small part as China will be needing 8000 planes just in the Chinese market for its 1.5 billion people.

      Every Airbus hater uses 447 as an example, but it’s totally invalid. I could list five examples where Airbus automation and protections specifically prevented a crash which has actually occurred on a Boeing aircraft, but you never hear about it because… well… it didn’t crash.
      Birgenair 301 (Boeing 757) was no different - wasn’t FBW but pitot tubes were likely blocked. Pilots failed to identify a stall, and pancaked into the ground like 447.
      The difference is that the Birgenair crash would have been impossible with the Airbus backups, while the 447 flight would have still resulted in a crash as well if it was a similar Boeing type (assuming crew actions were equally pathetic.)
      SOP and training for the A330 dictate that you fly pitch and power in the event of unreliable airspeed (which the plane TOLD them.)
      Also, Airbus invented the BUSS / backup speed scale system which is standard on all Airbus wide bodies and optional on their narrow body aircraft. Even in the event of complete pitostatic failure, the computers can calculate a safe operating speed margin based on power, AoA, and other data, displayed where the speed tape usually resides on the PFD. Yet another layer of protection you get on an Airbus (for over a decade now) and something Boeing is just starting to figure out. Only one of their models has a similar system. 🤦‍♂️

    Airbus knew this half a century ago, and developed a completely integrated architecture from the very beginning of their FBW program, which factors include every single one of the issues Boeing has faced with the MAX. The Airbus NEO program didn’t have the engine height restraints that Boeing did, but even if they had - a simple software reprogram would have made the aircraft handle identically to legacy A320 family models. All flight protections would have functioned as designed as well, adding a further layer of protection and further impossibly of a MAX-type incident. I’m sorry, fanboy or not, one approach IS absolutely better than the other.
    Boeing simply refuses to cave to the 21st century and admit that a fully integrated FBW architecture is required for ALL of their products. The 787 was a step in the right direction, but their integration and system intuitiveness glaringly demonstrates their lack of commitment to the technology for many decades.

Of course the pilots should have been trained, they should have been told what MCAS was and that it will kick in in certain situations to simulate 737 NG handling, how to switch it off, and of course MCAS should use at last three independent sensors. But then customers wouldn't have liked to need extra training for different 737 variants, and the sales-oriented people at Boeing put their money into lobbying against pilot training.

      Boeing should have known what faulty AoL data could cause having learnt it from this crash, and ensured the [redesigned] MCAS system didn't rely on a single sensor - two were available and MCAS should have had a failsafe mode of: if the AoLs disagree turn itself off until reset (on the ground).
      This would have resulted in the plane doing weird things (nosing up) which a pilot would easily combat and handle with manual horizontal stabilizer trim - their workload may increase but they'd have a flyable plane, not one which was trying to nosedive into the ground.
      Boeing failed to implement this failsafe design; instead Boeing designed MCAS to just keep trying to lower the nose. It is Boeing's fault.

      Good. Now just tell that to the FAA who have made it so combersome and slow to get new aircraft certified that its not economically feasible. Ever wonder why GA pisto aircraft are still using engine technology from the 1940s?? Yeah go talk to the FAA

    Airlines seem just fine with retraining pilots when new versions of their Airbus planes are released, not sure why Boeing needs such special treatment 🙄

      Most if not all Airbus aircraft have the same cockpit though… A318, A319, A320, A321 and A330 all have the same exact cockpit. The A350 and the A380 have similar cockpits but all in all, those newer cockpits still follow the same flow and layout as the aforementioned aircraft. The only Airbus aircraft to not follow their general cockpit layout is the A220 and that aircraft was designed by a different manufacturer so…

      @@darinseansablan8977 Well good on Airbus for having that forethought. They should have redone the A220 when they bought it along with Bombardier.
      Boeing lacked that forethought and just has to pay the price. Instead, they tried to shoehorn it in when it just wouldn't fit, all because American dangled a carrot in front of them. They took it only to choke on it

    Is it me or does the cockpit looked so archaic?. Boeings really let go of moving forward. It’s the cost cutting that’s killing the company

    .....'debuting to a crowd that may never ride in it'.....that is because there were no crowds at the show..as of 2019(prior to the 2020 show), when it was decided that the show would be trade only. Boeing made the same error in the title of their video
