I don't understand the people that takes the time to quote you only to reply that they don't have the slightest interest in what you are saying. And do that over and over again.
This must have a name in the psychology or psychiatry manuals.

Re: FAO: Gabriel; Why don't [i]we[/i] just unplug MCAS?
From an aerodynamic point of view, yes, it would have been possible. Proof of that is that the plane achieved -3Gs in the final dive. You only need -1G to fly inverted. And yes, it is very possible that doing that would have "freed" the trim wheel. If the plane is trimmed to more negative ...

Re: FAO: Gabriel; Why don't [i]we[/i] just unplug MCAS?
So I have a stupid question... if the purpose of the thing is to adjust the elevator feel for type commonality, why attach it to the trim and not to, say, the elevator feel system? I do't know. I don't know the design of the artificial feel in the 737. I suspect that it is similar in the MAX as it ...

Most posts I post either here or there. Some select posts I double post here and there. I think this video is very interesting and relevant for this subject so I posted in both fora. There is no 3rd forum or beyond.

Not to mention that the horizon is in the bottom 25% of the frame and the airplane of the plane is obstructed.

He owns and flies a J3, so... I think we will laugh at you at both ends of the spectrum.I should ask Bobby if he knows what it's like to turn final with three hundred and sixty injected cubic inches of power, constant-speed prop and 2300 lbs and a 2500 ft airstrip?

Re: FAO: Gabriel; Why don't [i]we[/i] just unplug MCAS?
But how about some sort of "endorsement" system where to fly the new damn-similar-to-the-old plane, you spend maybe 2 hours in a classroom and 1/2 hour in a sim, being instructed on what's different about this plane vs. the one you were previously rated on? "We" do that already,...

Re: FAO: Gabriel; Why don't [i]we[/i] just unplug MCAS?
My context was the 737-MinLav...and just how much nose over help it needs...does it really need the DCAS (Dive Causing Augmentation System) to ‘assure’ recovery, or is it ‘only’ “nice to have” and ‘only’ to make it FEEL like the 737-TraditionalLav? The example that I gave shows how, at very low spe...

Re: FAO: Gabriel; Why don't [i]we[/i] just unplug MCAS?
The fixes are: - MCAS will be based on averaging 2 AoA readings/sensors. - Triple filter to discard spikes or transient spurious AoA values. - There will be a triple check, any of these conditions not met will render the MCAS inhibited: ==> Difference between the 2 readings do not exceed 5 degrees o...

Sorry, black and white was not my intent. Perhaps the correct question, rather than a definition, would be "what do you have in mind when you say nasty and somehow unrecoverable stall"? Let me explain... There were at least 1 incident with a 737 in approach that started Turkish-style, were...

Re: FAO: Gabriel; Why don't [i]we[/i] just unplug MCAS?
Gabieee: This was a fairly serious post for the purpose of a little discussion. Given that MCAS has an arguably dark side, what would happen if it was removed? Does A the plane simply require more nose-over input in stall situation, or B does the stall behavior become nasty and somewhat unrecoverab...
