A jet belonging to Lion Air crashed in Java sea, five months ago in October 2018, killing all 189 on board
Sooner than later, yet another brand similar plane Boeing Max 8 claimed 157 on spot during the 10th Sunday March 2019 plane crash.
An expert, has dug into the jet software knowledge to try and explain how the two seemingly related incidents affected the crash.
The theory which bases its argument on the Angle of Attack and
The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS)
This two sensors are so critical on how the pilots understands what the plane is doing.
And a confusion between the two was the key base of the theory before the two similar crashes.
The angle of attack works to tell the pilots at which angle the plane is flying while the MCAS works to stabilise the plane during the Angle of the attack.
If the two don’t match, the pilot will seek to regulate them,
The the case of the two Maxs planes, the two sensors malfunctioned and communicated wrong information to the pilots who were in charge of the planes.
