Boeing 737! MAX is BACK! Re-certification and understanding MCAS! Explained by CAPTAIN JOE

Another brilliant video Joe, that last 90 seconds were so powerful and true, respect!

Rest in Peace to these almost 350 lost souls and my condolences to their family members, friends and loved ones!

I was flying with American Airlines from Frankfurt to the US in December 2019, or let's say, I was supposed to. Thankfully, a conscious pilot decided to turn back to the gate as he noticed a small error. It was really not a big deal but didn't want to put his passengers in danger and turned back immediately. Even though AA had to manage to rebook all the passengers and to somehow get us to the US, plus pay for the canceled flight because of technical issues, I was very thankful that the pilot decided the way he did. No money on earth brings back dead people.. Thank you!

She's back. Now with sections blowing out mid-air!

Never rush when dealing with another persons life

The sad part is that the managers that were responsible for the bad decisions and culminated in all of this will not be held liable themselves - no one's going to prison.

it's crazy how they could design a system that takes full control relying on a single sensor that can fail. Even the drive-by-wire accelerator pedal in your car has triple redundancy.

One of the documentaries said that Ethiopian pilots deactivated MCAS and they were in such a hard dive, that they could not manually adjust the trim. They turned the switches back on in the hopes it would trim up. Such a shame.

Amazing video as always,God bless you and keep you safe wherever you are Captain Joe...and thank you for the class again!

The bicycle was a very good example, which I found out the hard way! when I was young I delivered newspapers with my bicycle. The first time my bike was fully loaded with a lot of newspapers on the back I was so stupid to try a wheelie. I flipped over backwards and the whole street was littered with newspapers!

My understanding is that investigators discovered on the voice cockpit recording that the Ethiopian Air crew had seen the alert released after the Lion Air crash and correctly determined that their problem was being caused by MCAS, but that by the time they switched off MCAS they were simply heading down with too much velocity to pull out in time, which somehow feels doubly tragic. They were doing everything right, they just didn't have enough time to save themselves.

Yep, It's grounded again! This time for a plug door that doesn't want to stay closed.

MCAS: Money Comes Above Safety

Measure twice; cut once and never take shortcuts when it comes to safety, particularly when you also have other people's lives in your hands.

Thanks Captain Joe for letting me understand easily how the MCAS works, its problems, and the how the 737 MAX became problematic since its service. Kudos to your channel 👍

Thank you Joe for this video and thank you for your words at 13:04. This needs to be heard by everyone who works in the aviation industry, no matter whether they're pilots, engineers, ATCs, FAA workers or CEOs!

I think the ending message was extremely appropriate.

My father flew the 727 for years and retired on that airframe in 1990. We had a reverence for Boeing. “If it’s not Boeing, we’re not going” was a saying and testament to the trust we put in the safety culture of Boeing. Since the relocation of Boeing headquarters from Seattle to Chicago in the mid 1990’s there has been a titanic shift in the focus of the company. It’s telling when a company moves its HQ from its center of R&D, design, engineering, production, and “ancestral home” to a financial center.

Joe I'm a new subscriber to your channel.im a aviation enthusiast and have been following various channels ,links for a long time now. I must say that I'm very very impressed with the way you justify on the topic of discussion .From the time LION AIR max8 crashed I had anxiety .now that's sorted after a clear understanding of MCAS. Thanks for your subtle explanation and do come up with more informative videos in the future . Really appreciate your work!!

Simplifying flying for simpletons like myself. Thanks captain Joe
