A faulty sensor the problem that is being discussed. Due to the fault, incorrect information about air flows is entered into the system. This can result in protection, also known as "stall", in which the wing loses its load capacity, the nose tilts forward and the aircraft descends rapidly.
The increase is crucial
"If the pilots can no longer use the sensor, you will understand that it will be dangerous," says aeronautical journalist Paul Eldering. "The combination of speed and tilt angle is crucial, but the pilots know it."
If such a fault occurs, the pilots must intervene. That's what Lion Air pilots have been unable to do, it seems. "The investigation is not over yet, but the FAA is giving this warning for sure," Eldering said.

Corendon Dutch Airlines is the first company to buy a Max plane from Dutch companies. There will be more in the coming years, as for other companies. "We have received this warning and we are taking care of the device technically," commented Corendon's director, Atilay Uslu.
"We also reviewed the safety procedures, as stated by the FAA We had no technical problems Incidentally, this device is the most economical, really the device of the future. "
