Wevknow that the Boeing 737MAX was built in haste to confront Airbus’s domination with the A320. Boeing seems to have copied the folly of trusting microchips above human beings.

Fact: without Sully, the plane that landed in the Hudson River would never have made it back to safe ground.
Are these teething problems, to these new technologies ?
737 ya kitambo was a real man’s plane. Manual to the last detail. Hii ingine apana. Too computerized.

Apparently at that critical moment of ditching, the fly by wire kept the nose up ever so gently in order to prevent a calamitous impact with the Hudson. All the same kudos to Sully.
A good pilot would have done the same.
The decision to abort a return to airport, the identification of the Hudson as destination and the coaxing of the bird in that direction are split-second decisions that cannot be programmed into a computer.
Machines are not really that good when dealing with unexpected situations, neither do they have the ability to admit and correct their own errors. That is why the MAXs crashed once the sensors sent erroneous data.
It is stupid to design systems that lock out human overrides.
Yes, no one can criticize Sully’s decision making as the commander of that flight. My point is that, at the very last moment of that flight the system complemented his good airmanship.

Yes, and even the MAX had the stab trim cut out. As I understand it, the problem is that Boeing intentionally did not disclose this information to crews until after the Lion Air accident. That override worked on ET 302, but then a different problem emerged; how to manually trim an aircraft that is flying at ~400Kph. They just didn’t have the luxury of high altitude to use the corrective procedures.
