Preliminary reports suggest erroneous AOA sensor readings that led to aggressive nose-down inputs by a computer have been linked to deadly 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. ethiopia
Investigators with the US National Transportation and Safety Board look over debris at the crash site of Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET 302.
Boeing offered customers two optional paid features relating to AOA. The first was an AOA DISAGREE alert when the two sensors disagreed and the second was an indicator giving pilots a gauge of the actual angle. “After the Lion Air event, Southwest was notified by Boeing that the AOA disagree lights were inoperable without the optional AOA indicators on the MAX aircraft,” a Southwest spokesman said on Tuesday.
“Unless an airline opted for the angle-of-attack indicator, the disagree alert was not operable…Boeing did not intentionally or otherwise deactivate the disagree alert on its MAX airplanes.”
