纽约时报新出了报道,没有737 Max的模拟器,关于737和737 Max的区别,美航员工接受了56分钟ipad训练,西南航空的员工接受了不到三小时的视频学习。在狮航坠机后他们希望能有737Max的模拟器。

关于MCAS的技术文档,在狮航坠机后,波音和两大航空公司的飞行员工会会晤过:. {. n( u( N7 ?3 L
The meetings last year between Boeing officials and the unions were cordial but direct. The pilots from Southwest and American who met with Boeing were frustrated that they hadn’t been notified of the newly installed software system in the 737 Max planes before the crash in Indonesia. The so-called maneuvering characteristics augmentation system, or MCAS, is an automated system intended to prevent the plane from stalling.3 C9 |5 l% E& w6 Z5 I

“It was a very frank discussion,” said the American union’s safety chairman, Mr. Michaelis. “This is to our knowledge the first time pilots were not informed of a major system on an airplane that could affect flight controls.”

In response to the pilots’ request, Mr. Michaelis said, Boeing concurred. The company has since provided the American pilots with basic information about MCAS, but it hasn’t updated the official manual with a full explanation about how it works. 4 C n& K8 t% r1 y8 v+ }, s
飞行员对MCAS一无所知,这个系统只在技术手册的附录中提过一下,没有解释它是做什么的。狮航坠机后飞行要求得到更多信息,波音给出一些基本信息,但没有更新官方的技术使用手册。 |
