A technical issue that Boeing flagged in a safety warning after the deadly 737 MAX 8 crash in Indonesia could happen to any other aircraft, and it’s "not unlikely" that the manufacturer knew about it, aviation experts told RT.
Earlier this week, Boeing issued a safety update to pilots flying its newest 737 MAX airliner, warning of a possible fault in a sensor that could send the aircraft into a violent nosedive. That sensor measures air flow over a plane’s wings, but its failure can lead to an aerodynamic stall.

International aviation experts told RT that a problem of this kind could doom aircraft of any type. The tragedy that happened to Lion Air’s Boeing 737 MAX is not the first of its kind to involve a faulty “Pitot tube” – a critical air-speed sensor that measures the flow velocity – explained Elmar Giemulla, a leading German expert in air and traffic law.
“This is not unusual in the way it happened before,” he noted, mentioning incidents similar to the Lion Air crash. Back in 1996, a Boeing 757 operated by Turkey’s Birgenair stalled and crashed in the Caribbean because of a blocked pitot tube. Likewise, erroneous air-speed indications, coupled with pilot errors, led to the crash of an Air France Airbus A330 over the Atlantic in 2009.
While the problem is not entirely new, it is unclear how Boeing had tackled it, according to Giemulla. “It is not very unlikely” that Boeing knew about the problem, he said, warning that “more than 200 planes are concerned and this could happen tomorrow again.”
There is so much experience with [using Pitot tubes] that it surprises me very much that this could happen to a newly developed plane.
However, the expert doubted that there has been any cover-up of the issue, instead suggesting that “obviously gross negligence” had been involved.
A 737 MAX 8 servicing Lion Air flight 610 last week ploughed into the waters of the Java Sea shortly after take-off from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board. Investigators say there is a possibility that inaccurate readings fed into the MAX’s computer could have sent the plane into a sudden descent.

Meanwhile, David Learmont, an England-based aviation journalist and contributing editor of Flightglobal, suggested that the 737 MAX crash in Indonesia was more about poor maintenance or pilot error than the equipment itself.
He told RT that the ‘angle-of-attack’ sensor and the computerized system it feeds are “helpful but not essential to safe flight.”

Crews are usually trained to deal with this kind of failure and Boeing “has drawn the airlines’ attention to it,” he explained.

The US aviation regulator has alerted airlines to a warning from Boeing that the latest version of its best-selling 737 jet has a potential flaw in safety-critical software, following the Indonesia crash last week in which 189 people died.
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday that it would order all airlines that operate the 737 Max to follow advice issued earlier by Boeing to remind pilots how to deal with false information from a key sensor, which can confuse the crew who are manually flying the aircraft and lead to it going into a steep dive.
The FAA’s announcement suggests that crash investigators suspect that a software fault could have played a part in confusing the crew flying the Lion Air jet that plunged into the Java Sea on October 29 not long after take-off from Jakarta.
Data recovered from one of the aircraft’s black boxes showed the plane had encountered problems with its airspeed on its last four flights. The accident was the first involving the new 737 Max 8 aircraft, the latest version of the US aircraft maker’s best-selling twin-engined jet. The jet was built this year and was delivered in mid-August to Lion Air, one of the region’s biggest low-cost airlines.
The statement by the FAA, which is the lead safety regulator of all Boeing-built commercial jets, echoed an earlier warning by the US aircraft maker, which revealed that air crash investigators had found that the Lion Air flight experienced “erroneous input” from one of its “angle of attack sensors”.
The warning refers to a key sensor that monitors the so-called angle of attack of an aircraft, an aerodynamic calculation of the angle of the wings relative to the airflow. The sensor feeds information to the cockpit instruments used by pilots for flying the aircraft manually but also delivers data directly to the flight computer.
The data allow the aircraft’s autopilot to determine if the plane is about to enter a stall, a critical condition that can lead to total loss of control of an aircraft. In some circumstances the autopilot on a 737 Max will override pilots flying the aircraft manually and try to push down the nose if it detects a stall is imminent.
The FAA-mandated warning by Boeing, known as an “operations manual bulletin”, reminds pilots to follow “existing flight crew procedures” designed to address circumstances where the information coming into the cockpit from the sensors was wrong.
The FAA said it would “take further appropriate actions depending on the results of the investigation”.
The FAA’s actions will be mirrored by all other safety regulators around the world as a matter of course.
Nick Cunningham, an aerospace analyst at Agency Partners, said such bulletins were not unusual, adding that aircraft manufacturers typically send them to airlines, stating safety measures and maintenance actions they should take.
The warning does not directly link possible problems with the software to the accident but it is the first concrete action to come out of the investigation. Lion Air flight JT610 crashed into the sea just 13 minutes after take-off in good weather, not long after the experienced crew had radioed air traffic control to request a return to Jakarta. Radar records showed the aircraft was having trouble maintaining altitude and air speed after take-off. The aircraft never turned back towards the airport and instead plunged into the Java Sea at high speed.
Boeing has delivered 219 Max jets since the new model made its debut last year with a Lion Air subsidiary. Other operators were flying the aircraft as normal following the FAA warning.
Shares in Boeing initially fell 6.6 per cent to $335.59 on news of the accident last week but have rebounded since. On Wednesday morning the shares were less than 1 per cent higher at $369.48 in New York.

Boeing issued a safety warning today about its new 737 Max jets which could have a fault that causes them to nose-dive.
The special bulletin sent to operators was about a sensor problem flagged by Indonesian safety officials investigating the crash of a Lion Air 737 that killed 189 people last week.
The planemaker said local aviation officials believed pilots may have been given wrong information by the plane's automated systems before the fatal crash.
An AOA sensor provides data about the angle at which wind is passing over the wings and tells pilots how much lift a plane is getting.
All 189 people on board the Lion Air jet were killed when the plane crashed into the Java Sea on October 29 just minutes after taking off from Jakarta.
According to a technical log the Lion Air plane, which had only been in service a few months, suffered instrument problems the day before because of an 'unreliable' airspeed reading.

Since the privately owned budget Indonesian carrier was founded in 1999 by the Kirana brothers, its aircraft have been involved in at least 15 safety incidents
Minutes after takeoff the plane suddenly nose-dived hitting speeds of 600mph before slamming into the sea.
The warning issued today read: 'The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee has indicated that Lion Air flight 610 experienced erroneous input from one of its AOA (Angle of Attack) sensors.
'Boeing issued an Operations Manual Bulletin (OMB) directing operators to existing flight crew procedures to address circumstances where there is erroneous input from an AOA sensor.'
Indonesian investigators said this week that the plane had an air-speed indicator problem on the doomed flight and on three previous journeys.
The pilots radioed a request to return to Jakarta to land, but never turned back toward the airport.

On Monday angry relatives demanded answers from Lion Air founder, Rusdi Kirana, on why the jet was cleared to fly.
As a result of an investigation into the crash the jet manufacturer is said to be preparing a bulletin to be sent to operators of the 737 jets warning about faulty cockpit readings that could cause a dive.
The notice refers to the 'angle of attack', which is the angle of the wing relative to oncoming air stream, a measure that indicates if a plane is likely to stall.
This angle of attack, which is a calculation of the angle at which the wind is passing over the wings, is used to be determined if a stall is imminent.
Indonesian accident investigators said on Monday that an airspeed indicator on the crashed jet was damaged for its last four flights, but US authorities responded cautiously to suggestions of fleet-wide checks.

Inspectors found faults on two other Boeing 737 MAX jets, including one which mirrored a problem reported on board the Lion Air plane.
Aviation analyst Dudi Sudibyo said the cockpit display issue could include a speed-and-altitude glitch reported in the doomed jet the day before it crashed.
Bloomberg News reported the planned bulletin from Boeing earlier on Tuesday and said the manufacturer would alert pilots to follow existing procedures to address the issue.
Boeing declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
Representatives of 737 MAX operators, Singapore Airlines Ltd offshoot SilkAir, Garuda Indonesia and Canada's WestJet Ltd, said they had not yet received a bulletin from Boeing.
Search teams have filled some 186 body bags with remains found after the devastating crash, but only 44 victims have been identified so far.
Divers have recovered one of the two 'black boxes' - the flight data recorder - but are still searching for the cockpit voice recorder, in the hope it will shed more light on the cause of the disaster.
Indonesia has had nearly 40 fatal aviation accidents in the past 15 years, according to the Aviation Safety Network.

Lion Air Crash: Boeing issues global warning for incorrect jet sensors
6:26am Nov 8, 2018





Boeing has issued a warning to airlines as investigators continue to probe what happened to Lion Air Flight 610, which crashed into the Java Sea last month, killing all 189 passengers.
In a statement on Tuesday, the airline manufacturer said it had issued an "Operations Manual Bulletin" advising airline operators how to address incorrect cockpit readings.
A spokesperson for Boeing wouldn't disclose to CNN whether the directive was issued to operators of all Boeing aircraft, or just those who fly 737 MAX 8 planes - the same model as Flight 610.
http%3A%2F%2Fprod.static9.net.au%2F_%2Fmedia%2F2018%2F11%2F08%2F06%2F17%2F181108-Boeing-737-warning-Lion-Air-Crash-2.jpg

Virgin Australia has ordered 40 new 737 MAX 8 models for its fleet - to be in use by next year - but will not back out of the purchase in light of the guidelines.
The directive points operators "to existing flight crew procedures to address circumstances where there is erroneous input from an AOA sensor," the statement said
"Whenever appropriate, Boeing, as part of its usual processes, issues bulletins or makes recommendations regarding the operation of its aircraft."
An AOA - or angle of attack - sensor is a vane that sits outside of the aircraft and gives pilots a visual reading of the plane's angle of attack, or "the angle between the oncoming air or relative wind and a reference line on the airplane or wing," according to Boeing.

The guidelines highlight an 'angle of attack' sensor on Boeing's 737 MAX 8 models that tell pilots which angle is safe for a plane to fly into oncoming air. (AAP)

"It is very important because it tells them if the plane is flying at too high angle of attack, which can lead to an aerodynamic wing stall (loss of lift)," said aviation analyst and editor-in-chief of Airlineratings.com, Geoffrey Thomas.
Boeing said that the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee had "indicated that Lion Air flight 610 experienced erroneous input from one of its AOA (angle of attack) sensors."
Boeing is involved in the ongoing investigation with the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee and other government authorities into the Lion Air crash and "continues to cooperate fully and provide technical assistance."
Following Boeing's bulletin, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it would issue an airworthiness directive to Boeing 737 Max 8 crews if they experience the same problems that brought down Lion Air Flight 610.
http%3A%2F%2Fprod.static9.net.au%2F_%2Fmedia%2F2018%2F11%2F08%2F05%2F52%2F181108-Boeing-737-warning-Virgin-Airlines.jpg
It is believed Virgin Airlines in Australia has ordered 40 of the affected models, to be in use by next year. (AAP)
In a statement it said, "The FAA has alerted affected domestic carriers and foreign airworthiness authorities who oversee air carriers who use the 737 MAX."
The FAA directive does not acknowledge an issue with the entire fleet of 737 Max 8 airplanes - the same model as Flight 610 - and there have been no reported comparable issues in the US.
The Boeing statement comes amid a number of significant developments in the investigation into the fatal airline disaster, following the discovery of Flight 610's flight data recorder last Thursday.
On Tuesday, Indonesian investigators found that the Lion Air flight had a malfunctioning air speed indicator for its last four flight,s and crucially, at the time of the crash, according to Tjahjono.
http%3A%2F%2Fprod.static9.net.au%2F_%2Fmedia%2F2018%2F11%2F02%2F11%2F27%2F181102-Lion-Air-plane-crash-1.jpg
Boeing said that the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee indicted that Lion Air flight 610 had received an incorrect sensor reading before its fatal crash. (AAP)
Investigators who analysed the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) after the October 29 crash uncovered the issue, said Tjahjono
The finding is the first technical problem revealed as part of the investigation into why the plane crashed.
"We are formulating, with the NTSB (US National Transportation Safety Board) and Boeing, detailed inspections regarding the airspeed indicator," said Tjahjono, on Tuesday.
Lion Air Group's Managing Director, Captain Daniel Putut Kuncoro Adi, told CNN Lion Air strictly follow Boeing's guidance for operating the 737 MAX 8s, as laid out in the maintenance manual book.

While officials are still trying to pinpoint the exact cause of the tragic crash that killed 189 passengers, the sensor warning is the first technical problem that has come to light following the incident. (AAP)
"Pilots write in the logbook about the problem they had in the flight, then our technicians fix it and write (what) they did in the logbook," said the Managing Director
He also added that technical conversations between pilot and technician regarding the aircraft are written and signed in a document called the Aircraft Flight and Maintenance Log.
However, analysts have asked why the plane wasn't grounded earlier, when the problem with the air speed indicator issue first surfaced.
"The question is why wasn't this plane pulled from service and the problem system removed," said Geoffrey Thomas.
http%3A%2F%2Fprod.static9.net.au%2F_%2Fmedia%2F2018%2F11%2F01%2F06%2F58%2Flion-air-111-4.jpg
The warning comes as analysts have questioned why Flight 610 was not grounded prior to the fatal accident, when the air speed indicator problem was first noticed. (AAP)
Lion Air Group's Managing Director told CNN Boeing's maintenance manual does not provide instructions to ground the aircraft, even if they encounter a repeated problem.
"As long as we fixed the problem and the technician declares that aircraft is safe to fly, the pilot will fly the aircraft, because that means the aircraft is safe to fly," said Captain Daniel Putut Kuncoro Adi.
Lion Air Flight 610 was intact with its engines running when it crashed at high speed into the Java Sea, Tjahjono said.
Tjahjono said that due to the small size of the debris found and loss of the plane's engine blades, investigators determined that Flight 610 did not explode in the air, but was in "good shape" before it crashed 13 minutes after takeoff.

Meanwhile, crash investigators have also said the Lion Air flight - similar to this aircraft - is believed to have been intact with its engines running when it crashed into the Java Sea. (AAP)
Some of the families of the victims aboard Flight 610 were taken by boat to the crash site location on Tuesday to pray for their loved ones and view the recovery process in-person, Muhammad Syaugi, head of Indonesia's Search and Rescue Agency said.
He said that his team was still working to locate the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), which he believes is buried under the deep m&d.
After initially hearing a "ping" from the CVR on Saturday, diving teams could no longer hear a signal from the device.
Meanwhile, the plane's other black box, the flight data recorder, was located Thursday, and investigators said it showed Flight 610 had performed 19 flights -- including its final flight.

HOW STUPID CAN BOEING BE? Not the 1st time already!

I buy S$350 DJI drone's sensors also will not self-dive like Boeing 737 MAX, @US$117M can self-dive into sea? Huh? WAF?

What kind of KKJ ABNN Technology is that?


Fucking 100X Smarter than Boeing!

If a major US airline 787 crashes, then Boeing will bother. Small fry Asian airline crash ...blame it on pilot or maintenance issue. Case close. Let's move on.

Do steady so smart and low cost!

I have absolutely no doubt that Chinese PLA will have rifles and machine guns and missiles on their drones, and Automatically track chase and shoot dead US GIs and their vehicles. Millions of such PLA KILLER DRONES, flooding sky.

Huat Ah!

Chinese drones damn powerful and cheap, while Boeing already can not keep their planes flying straight. I believe Chinese will have giant passenger drones bigger than A380 and fully automated including robots to serve you drinks and lunch, all these in no time. Safe and comfortable just like their Gao Tie HSR.

China has rolled out its huge stealth drones and smaller unmanned aircraft, which it says can be armed with AK-47s or any other weapon the client wants, as the country gets ready to vie for a share of the US-dominated UAV market.
The drones were unveiled earlier this week among other exhibits at the China Airshow, the country's main aerospace industry exhibition, held in the southern city of Zhuhai.
Grabbing the visitors' attention was the new CH-7 or Caihong (Rainbow)-7 stealth combat drone. With a wingspan of 22 meters (72 feet), it's larger than most modern attack jets and is said to be capable of traveling at speeds of over 800 km/h (almost 500 mph) at altitudes of up to 13,000 m (over 46,000 ft).

These are just numbers on paper so far, however, since CH-7 will only perform its maiden flight next year. Nonetheless, the chief engineer of the Caihong program at the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), Shi Wen, has already told AFP that he is "convinced that with this product clients will quickly contact us."
The Chinese developers insist that Caihong-7 is based on their own ideas and technologies, but experts noticed that it has many similarities in its appearance and characteristics with the American X-47B drone.
The Chinese Ziyan company, which also had a popular stand at Zhuhai, makes smaller drones and says it's ready to fulfill any of its foreign buyers' demands.
The company showcased its headline product, a 62 cm (2 ft) tall helicopter drone encased in light, but sturdy Kevlar armor called Blowfish A2.

"We can add an AK-47 or a machine gun. Different weapons can be installed, whatever the customer wants," Wu Xiaozhen, Ziyan's overseas project director, said.
Wu assured AFP of the "great quality" of its UAV, saying: "We are targeting Western markets, too. We don't fear competition from the Europeans and the Americans."
CASC said it currently has clients in some 10 countries around the globe. But Shi refused to give any names, saying that "some things remain sensitive."
It was reported earlier that a Chinese CH-4 drone was used by the Iraqi military to conduct at least 260 strikes against the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group.
The UAE also reportedly targeted a Houthi rebel commander with a Chinese drone during the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
Chinese ambitions to rival the Americans on the international drone market are boosted not only by the cheaper prices of its unmanned aircraft but also by the restrictions on exporting the UAVs introduced by Washington over fears that US technologies might be copied.

This plane safer? China manufacturedView attachment 49079 a320 copy comac c919

Chinese Drones are so smart and 100X smarter and useful than Ang Moh's Even Pentagon rely on DJI drones. Which they are so fearful of and have no fucking choice because they cannot make the same, and cannot afford to have none.

Globally now, in anywhere there is war, Chinese drones big and small are flying and spying and bombing.

They all fly nicely and won't dive into sea like fucking Boeing 737 MAX, never!

Cheap & Good.

So must fly in Chinese planes and drones forget all about Ang Moh's.

Most likely, pitot static problem. There should be a test on ground to see if its working properly.


Pitot tubes are since WW2.




Modern 100+ million dollar airliner have up to six of them, multiple redundancy. Should never fail. Besides, they should have several Gyros, & Plus GPS to read speed and altitude figures. And software are suppose to eliminate bad reading by smartly and logically analyzing all these reading from multiple sources. Give only a reliable reading to the cockpit. Only warning to alert a faulty reading, and log into the engineering maintenance log file.

So Chee Bye! Boeing must let the 737 MAX 8 dive into sea for a couple fucked up pitot tubes?

The BIGGEST KNOW PROBLEMS of pitot tube is with ICING - by frozen cloud these typically at transitional altitude just after take off or preparing to land. This is when flying in cloud layer. And software already made with consideration of such problems.

They have HEATED PITOT TUBES to fight icing :
