The certification authorities are making them provide 3 AOA sensors standard so making them add an ice detector or an over temp sensor isn't too big a deal.
We're going to be flying this junk until the single pilot version comes out so we may as well pressure them to make it right and retrofit the rest of the fleet.
I am looking at a MAX-10 right now. This is no 3rd AOA vane and there never will be. The agreement was for “enhanced AOA” kind of like the 787 has.
