GROUNDED
CRASH REPORT:
 LION AIR 610 crashed in Indonesia on October 29, 2018
 189 died
 Ethiopian airline FLIGHT 302 crashed on march 10, 2019.
 157 died
 Both planes were boeing737 MAX 8
WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED?
 The story merely started in 2010
 Airbus announced A320 was going to be updated
 This increased the sale of Airbus320 to be considerably increased.
 Boeing fell backed in competition.
 An worthy update of boeing737 felt hugely required.

But, there was a problem !

 This was a slight increment in positioning of engine.
 But this change had an effect.
 There was a notch seen on upper part of the wing.
 During takeoff, the angle of takeoff was far more than normal.
 This was a problem.
 To tackle the problem, instead of reengineering the plane, Boeing installed a software called
Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, MCAS.
 It forced the plane to lower its nose if the pilot tend to fly it at higher angle.
 Boeing didn’t feel necessary to inform the pilots about it.
 But the problem, pilots were facing it solution was huge.
 Several pilots complained the US federal government that the plane was suddenly nosing
down which was completely not normal

 On October 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 took off from Jakarta.
 During the take off, the plane was in full thrust.
 But at a certain point the plane started suddenly nosing down and the pilots couldn't figure out why this
was happening.
 MCAS system kept alternately turning on
for 10 sec and off for 5 sec.
 Pilots could get only 5 sec interval to
control the level of plane alternately after
another 10 secs of MCAS system
overwriting all other permissions.
 The MCAS system caused the plane to go
down by 40 degrees which was a terrifying
value.
 Pilots kept struggling to fight with the
MCAS but unfortunately 12 minutes after
takeoff, the plane crashed into the java
sea.
 And on march 10, 2019 in the Ethiopian crash pilots were actually
able to shut MCAS down but it was too late.
