Why the problems?
I wonder what they mean by guys using flying skills versus going to checklists. Well newsflash, if the stick shaker is going off then this isn’t the time to throw the AP on. The ETH Capt asked for AP on 3 times with the shaker going off.
So here we are. I still think this whole fiasco being dragged out is because EASA is flexing their muscles over the FAA and Boeing. Let’s be honest, the world won’t look at the FAA to clear this airplane until EASA (Europe) certifies it too.
Yes, it would be awkward for the FAA to go their own way without EASA on this. They dug that hole for themselves though.
I doubt they'll have universal consensus from all regulatory agencies but they probably need EASA and Canada onboard, and maybe Oz too.
