Although we still do not know what happened with the flight of Ethiopian Airlines, this Sunday rushed to Earth shortly after takeoff causing the death of 157 people, a preliminary badysis of another accident that occurred in October in Indonesia aims to failure of the speed and altitude sensors and the behavior of the automated MCAS system.

Anyway, the national authorities of China, Indonesia, Canada and the European Union, among others, have already banned the operation of the aircraft model in their airspace, and the airlines highlighted in Russia, Ethiopia, Brazil and Argentina made a similar and independent decision.

The United States, Panama and Mauritania are among the last countries to have no restrictions and who have 737 MAX in their fleets. While Colombia, whose airlines do not operate the model, has announced that it will closely monitor the FAA's notifications and that, for now, it will not veto its use, according to The weather.

This is the last variant of already legendary 737, a short and medium-range commercial aircraft that flew for the first time in 1967 and is the best selling in history.

In the case of the 737 MAX, designed to cope with the A320NEO of the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus and Boeing's main competitor, it differs from previous models by its reduced fuel consumption, increased cab soundproofing and high degree of automation.

In the case of Lion Air Flight 610, which crashed in October shortly after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia, it is thought that a failure of altitude and speed measurements generated an erroneous MCAS reaction, at the origin of the accident. 189 people died.

In as much during the tragic Flight 302 conducted by Ethiopian Airlines on Sunday detected erratic changes in height and speed before falling, although investigations are continuing.

In both cases, it was two Boeing 737 MAX 8 freshly released from the factory, in the two accidents that this aircraft has caused up to now.
