Is that in a -800? I thought it was only in the MAX.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

My understanding is that the MCAS issue was limited to the MAXX because of the problems caused by the new engines. Size problem.

Could be another screw-jack issue. But I’m just spitballing.

It doesn't have MCAS as such but does have a very similar system called STS.

There is a new video on YouTube by Mentor Pilot about an incident in the 90s where a plane did something similar when the pilot let their kids sit at the controls. The accident took a little over 3 minutes to go from everything being fine to everyone being dead. The overload of problems overtasked the pilots and they missed basic things that caused them to crash. I don't know if this was a similar situation but people leaning immediately into "pilot suicide" seems to be a very recent phenomenon.

It could be a structural damage, it could be a thrust reverser active on one engine, it could be a suicide... It could be a lot of things, let the chinese and NTSB make their job.

That was a Russian a/c.
