Talk:Boeing 737 Max groundings

Is this the correct page?
I am not sure this is the correct page to mention this problem, but right now it is my best choice considering the statement that we should not post on the previous talk page anymore.

I suggest someone tweek the following statement, which is not quite accurate, currently in the 3rd par. of section "1.2 Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash."


 * "A preliminary report on the crash indicated the pilots initially followed the correct Boeing procedure for shutting down MCAS and manually trimming the rear stabilizer."

The pilots did not carry out that procedure correctly and the Prelim Report does not actually say that they did. They failed to disengage the auto-throttles, which is step # 3 of the runaway stabilizer checklist. Here is what the Prelim Rpt says:


 * "The crew performed runaway stabilizer checklist and put the stab trim cutout switch to cutout position and confirmed that the manual trim operation was not working." [pg 25]

Since TO thrust was never reduced and just about everyone agrees the high speed of the aircraft, which even exceeded VMO, was a powerful factor in that accident, I am thinking it critically important for all relevant Wiki articles to ensure all statements about the pilots actions are as accurate as they can be.
