That's what I wonder since I heard of the two sensor thing. Why wheren't there 3 sensors or even more. We omit those kinds of failures for the simplest blog style websites. Feed that info into 3 flight controllers for that matter and fall back to Manual flight in case less than two agree.
not quite. the things they offered for extra were the AoA sensor readouts and an annunciator for AoA disagreement. the mcas was not part of that and the mcas was not briefed in the difference training from the other 737 models. the mcas taking input from a single sensor was to blame. it should not have activated when there was substantial disagreement from the two sensors. it also should have 3 sensors and vote on agreement and not just difference.
