They dont need to be 'intervening' all day, just shut down the auto pilot systems and fly the plane like any other plane, chikena.

Many pilots engage the autopilot during take off and landing, not through out the flight. They can always fly manually.

It seems in these cases the pilots didnt know it was the autopilot he engaged that is nosediving the plane, so he panicked instead of simply disengaging the autopilot.

I feel sorry for all Boeing shareholders right now, I see their stock price falling another 30% before everything returns to normal. What I love about this Boeing story is the fact that I can head to facebook and twitter and talk about the aircraft even though i've never flown on a plane before and people will like my post. If something isn't done about this, Airbus may steal market share from Boeing. On the 20th minute on June 21st 1994, Rashidi became the first Nigerian player to score in the worldcup where we defeated Bulgaria 3-0.

Frezhkid10:
Why engage auto pilot..when u are trained to pilot...see all these manufacturers should stop using sensors to deceive is jawe. they are not reliable and pilots should be allowed to fly planes using there hands and brain!!!!!!

Last year, air peace said they bought new 8 Boeing 737 max8. How come they are not listed by the company?

That's not true. It is right there! Check September 18, 2018 (Air Peace - 10).

Not only is it on Wikipedia (see first link and first screenshot), it is also on Boeing's website (see second link and second screenshot).

Nigeria is not even on that list sef..yet they have rushed and banned too..

People been killed everyday in Kaduna and Zamfara..Dem say na aviation sector wey no dey function sef be their problem

I think it's a reaction to the concerns of Nigerians. The NCAA had previously stated that no Boeing 737 Max 8 was registered to fly in Nigeria, but that didn't seem to satisfy Nigerians. In fact, on the thread that I created yesterday, someone claimed that Italian Airways was flying a 737 Max 8 into Nigeria last night.

It's necessary for the government to assuage the fears of Nigerians.

They ordered for 10 planes (it's on Boeing's website). The planes are still being manufactured.

They've lost more than $24b in shares since Sunday.
Grounding it may just be the quickest way to restore confidence in their products. I'm really a fan of Boeing and I hope they fix this to prevent more people from gruesome untimely death.

Ishilove:

We won't know until the outcome of the investigation is made public.

specter:


I saw it. I really wish those who went short on their shares happy times. 24b plus in their pockets. That's no joke money.

I sincerely hope airbus will do a proper check on their A380max. This gives them an opportunity over Boeing.

I prefer them anyway. Boeing should go back and overhaul the entire system.

Akalia:
Boeing management knows that there is some engineering flaw in the design of the 737 max but they are very reluctant to make a clean breast of it, why? Is it to save face or they are subtly unconscionable as one pilot opined in an earlier report?
Lately, I think American aircraft manufacturers are not getting something right in the design of their latest aircraft models. Lockheed Martin, the US based military aircraft manufacturer ran into a a software flaw problem with the f-35 stealth fighter (arguably the most sophisticated military jet ever made); the aircraft's software was plagued by a crop of bugs.

Cletus77:

If only you knew who you're talking to

naptu2:





Nigerian airlines have placed orders for the 737 Max 8 and the planes are currently being manufactured. See Wikipedia, Boeing's website and the BBC below.

lonelydora:


Air Peace nah. Theirs is still be manufactured. All the local airlines you see in Nigeria have 2nd hand planes

Western media exist for western countries, so is Chinese media for the Chinese.
If you want to hear good things about China and feel happy, start patronizing Chinese
cable TV and news media.

If you have been reading or watching western news, you would see that this is a major news
so your claim on letting you hear word is also false.

planetx:
How can a pilot hand fly a plane for 12 or 13 hours. And correction it's the FAA that grounded the planes not Boeing the manufacturer.

Foodforthought:

There was Nigerian on the plane that crashed. At least dem need show face na

fx45:
Nigerian with a Canadian passport Is that one a Nigerian?

yusfatedeeprof:

Then why make such comment......is it about how many Boeing 737 max operating in Nigeria or Nigeria airspace itself..... Airplanes can come crashing down anywhere you know......need for Nigeria to protect its airspace

IPIGs must always display their bitterness! Don't worry, because of you, we will vote the beloved Atiku together in 2023 to reduce the bitterness that's always emanating from the landlocked part of town!
