The new Series of Boeing 737, is causing much doubts in the mind of Pilots and the general public, due to 2 crashes which took place recently.
The issue seems to be located in the Stall mechanism of the Aircraft, and since the manuals provided to pilots did not have any information of the same, it raised further suspicion towards the Boeing company, since the modifications performed was of very sensitive nature, and having a Pilot flying a plane without any information of the equipment he is trusting and putting his life as well as others at stake is an unwarranted situation.
The recent crashes had one thing in common, bit the planes crashed within minutes after Take off and in both cases, the Pilots transmitted inability to control the Aircraft.
In my opinion a Pilot, during his career, goes through many emergencies training as well as systems malfunction training, either in line flights or during his Simulator recurrent trainings which happen every 6 months, so to believe that this could be an Pilot error, it will be like creating a mole out of a storm.
The most surprising part is while most of the neighboring countries have banned MAX from flying, The Aviation Controller in our country DGCA, has allowed MAX to be flown by Pilots having more than 100 hrs for Commanders and 500 hours for a Co Pilot respectively.
I don’t understand that why the Ministry believes that the guys at the controls of both Max 737 crashes were inexperienced enough to not be able to handle Instrument /Systems malfunctions.
I request the Ministry to please reconsider their decision, before we have a repeat of the same crash in our country as well.
Something is definitely wrong with these planes and it needs to be looked into thoroughly before they should be allowed to get up in the air.
