The Dallas Morning News found reports from pilots of unexpected pitch movements on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 in a federal database. Here's why those reports must be taken with a grain of salt:
that pilots “repeatedly voiced safety concerns about the Boeing 737 Max 8 to federal authorities.” To fully understand this issue, it is necessary to know a little about aviation safety reporting, and why the pilots' reports may be less damning than the newspaper made them out to be., a publicly accessible database administered by NASA.
However, these reports are voluntary in nature, and therefore cannot be used to reflect the relative frequency of occurrence of a particular problem. Take the altitude example – this is not necessarily the most common occurrence, it is just the occurrence most commonly reported. That’s an important difference.
