Boeing 737 MAX
Hi all let me ask you if i have this right. They gave the plane larger engines and moved them forwards. This caused the plane to rise/ climb more /faster than old version.
So rather than tell the pilots to be ready to nose it over. They created a computer to do this instead?
???
Why is this?
Why is there no oh sheet button to kill all computers.
How was this not tested out better?
If I knew it was there id have shut it off. As Id want to be flying the planes not HAL9000
Thanks!

To fully understand all the nuances of the situation is going to require some professional expertise and experience. You can gain some insight by reading some of the very detailed media reports descibing the max situation.
None of it is as easy as you might think, has to do with certification requirements and the need to make the max handle like previous 737 versions.

But the whole reason behind MCAS was to keep the aircraft handling in all regimes similar enough to the original 73 to keep the common type so SWA (and others) didn't need to train two separate pilot groups. Boeing didn't consider it a fundamental flight safety issue but rather icing on the certification/regulatory cake.
Philosophically kind of like VW's approach to emissions compliance.

So there’s no sense trying to explain something you’re not going to understand.
So who do you work for? CNN? MSNBC? Buzzfeed? Vice?

The problem is we can tell by the information you posted and the questions you asked that you have no idea what you are talking about.
