Oh shocker alerT!
MCAS is now active down to M .2
It’s running rampant in the sim on me
at least that’s what Vince thinks is happening
Gustavsson, Patrik H 6:51 PM:
Oh great, that means we have to update the speed trim descritption in vol 2
Mark Forkner 6:51 PM:
so I basically lied to the regulators (unknowingly)
Gustavsson, Patrik H 6:51 PM:
it wasnt a lie, no one told us that was the case
Mark Forkner 6:51 PM:
I’m levelling off at like 4000 ft, 230 knots and the plane is trimming itself like craxy
I’m like, WHAT?
Gustavsson, Patrik H 6:52 PM:
that’s what i saw on sim one, but on approach
I think thats wrong
Mark Forkner 6:52 PM:
granted, I suck at flying, but even this was egregious
Gustavsson, Patrik H 6:52 PM:
No, i think we need aero to confirm what its supposed to be doing
Mark Forkner 6:53 PM:
Vince is going to get me some spreadsheet table that shows when it’s supposed to kick in. why are we just now hearing about this?
Gustavsson, Patrik H 6:53 PM:
I don’t know, the test pilots have kept us out of the loop
It’s really only christine that is trying to work with us, but she has been too busy
