Check the hyperlink saying Ethiopian jackscrew found nose down embedded about a third of the way into the article. Or try about 50 other articles with google.

3/13/19 3:00pm Update

Statement from the FAA on Ethiopian Airlines

The FAA is ordering the temporary grounding of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft (PDF) operated by U.S. airlines or in U.S. territory. The agency made this decision as a result of the data gathering process and new evidence collected at the site and analyzed today. This evidence, together with newly refined satellite data available to FAA this morning, led to this decision.

The grounding will remain in effect pending further investigation, including examination of information from the aircraft’s flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders. An FAA team is in Ethiopia assisting the NTSB as parties to the investigation of the Flight 302 accident. The agency will continue to investigate.

Dear NFnsquared,

We were going to wait until the report was finished but as you are not a trusting soul I feel I must reassure you. The jackscrew was discovered in nose down trim.

Love,

Minister Mgwell Mgwell DaDa
Air Minister for Ethiopia

Again, just asking Trip where he got his info about the jackscrew being found in the full nose down position...or was that a misstatement?

What would of happened if they left the flaps down longer, 1-3000’+ AGL, and done much of the climbout without the autopilot? Of course we’ll naturally keep that nose parked up to control airspeed.


Those 2 things and we wouldn’t be talking about this.

I know, hindsite is easy.
