Dont fly Boeing 737 MAX - Jet and Spicejet
Ethiopian Airlines crash yesterday is very concerning. It had a top safety record and the pilot was super experienced but the 737 Max airplane crashed few minutes after take off raising the questions that it may be the known issue with the anti-stall system of 737 Max to blame.
The integrity of Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft could come under question following the tragic crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on Sunday. The flight crashed just 12 minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa airport. There are no plausible leads yet about what may have caused the incident. This is the second fatal crash involving a Max 8 in 5 months. In October, Lion Air Flight JT610 crashed into the sea off Jakarta, killing all 189 on board.
On October 29, Lion Air Flight JT610 plunged into the Java Sea just 13 minutes after taking off. All 189 on board were killed in the tragic crash. The aircraft in operation was a Boeing 737 Max 8, delivered to the airline just two months earlier. Boeing would later admit that there was a problem with one of the sensors.
Problem with the 737 Max 8
The 737 Max 8 has an advanced anti-stall feature, to prevent the aircraft from entering a “stall” if the pilots accidentally raise the nose too high. In case of the Lion Air flight, the sensor guiding this system was sending erroneous data. And investigations so far suggest that the anti-stall system may have pushed the aircraft down when it was flying level. Following the incident, Boeing said that the malfunctioning sensor on the MAX 8 could “cause the flight crew to have difficulty controlling the airplane,” leading to “possible impact with terrain”. Not only is this a serious problem, several pilots and airlines would later complain that they were not even aware of the risks associated with the feature. Boeing maintains the aircraft is safe.
Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302
Like with Lion Air, Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 was operating on a new aircraft. The 737 Max 8 was delivered to the airline on 15 November 2018, and had spent just about 4 months in service. Unlike Lion Air though, Ethiopian Airlines has a respectable safety record.
737 Max 8s and Indian carriers
Following the Lion Air crash, and Boeing’s subsequent advisory, India’s aviation regulator asked all Indian carries to examine their 737 Max 8s. In India, Jet Airways and Spice Jet operate a few flights on the aircraft. Following a probe, the DGCA said there were “no significant technical issues” with the aircraft. Boeing also informed the airlines that there was no need for any further action or modification.
However, following Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines crash, the government has reached out to Boeing for a clarification. “Our two airlines have these aircraft and DGCA officials are in touch with Boeing for further information,” DGCA chief BS Bhullar told The Times of India. more

In the Ethopian Airlines case, it is understood that the pilot felt something wrong and had asked permission to return. Why he did not return is not known however. more
