Pilots want simulation time along with briefings on how the MCAS works. mcas
American Airlines pilots demand more extensive training from Boeing on 737 Max planes.
Their support is important because Boeing has said pilots’ confidence in the 737 MAX will play a critical role in convincing the public that the aircraft is safe to fly again. A draft report by an FAA-appointed board of pilots, engineers and other experts concluded that pilots only need additional computer-based training to understand MCAS, rather than simulator time. The public has until April 30 to make comments.
It said the MAX computer training, which originally involved a one-hour iPad course, should include videos of simulator sessions showing how MCAS works along with demonstrations of other cockpit emergencies such as runaway stabilizer, a loss of control that occurred on both doomed flights. American Airlines has said it is looking at the potential for additional training opportunities in coordination with the FAA and its pilots union.
