report, what does this tell you, not just about the lion air crash, but potentially about the ethiopia air crash and about some of the other complaints that we ve heard from pilots that have now come to light after both of these crashes? it does underscore the pilot s concern that they were not trained properly on this new mcas system. the idea that it took a third person uninvolved with the crisis taking place to diagnose it is stunning and these guys were in a dire situation, but they were able to solve it once they figured out what was wrong, and apparently, the solution was buried in the flight manual. buried in the flight manual, and they were not aware of it. and one of the stunning thing, alan, about your report is essentially it s like indonesia s ntsb that put out as
sure it is repaired and this is going to make lion air review their safety procedures. you said the fix was buried in the flight manual. so it is in the flight manual, is that right? i m saying, how you shut off the mcas system is in the flight manual. you have to make that cognitive leak. and you have to make the analysis. to that point, reuters is now reporting from the voice recorder in the lion air flight that the pilots were scouring the flight manual. this is what as the plane went down, you can imagine, they don t have any time, and they didn t have any time. here is the stunning thing about that. they should have been scouring the flight manual, but the procedure to shut off this motor is what s called a memory item. it is so critical and equivalent to say an engine fire or something like that that you re required to memorize it in training this so-called runaway trim thing because it happens so
canada and then later the u.s. cited new evidence as well gathered at the crash site on wednesday as well as new satellite data. it is new information that we received and analyzed this morning comes from validated satellite tracking data suggesting a possible, although unproven, similarity in the flight profile of the lion air aircraft. as late as tuesday boeing and the faa had stuck by the max 8. faa noting their review shows no systemic performance issues. unions representing thousands of pilots endorsed the plane. american pilots noting that after 14,000 flights of the plane we have not seen a single anomaly related to control issues. a separate report in the dallas morning news found several pilots did have safety concerns. one captain calling the flight manual inadequate. finally, late yesterday boeing
systems that differentiate this aircraft from prior models. the flight manual is inadequate, almost criminally insufficient. all airlines that operate the max must insist that boeing incorporate all systems in their manuals. that s dated november, 2018, one month after the indonesian crash. boeing has said since that time it has updated its manuals and that there s been additional training that s been given to pie lts. but it still shows that pilots in this country have reported control issues similar to the ones that seem to be coming out of the investigations both with the indonesian crash and then the one over the weekend with ethiopian airlines. there are now 40 countries, including the european union, china, and australia that have a banned this aircraft flying in their airspace. despite the complaints of lawmakers and concerns of aation unions and the fears of the fly public, the plane continues to fly here.
