The Case Against Boeing

Re:The Case Against Boeing by tempguy9999 on Saturday November 16, 2019 @07:29AM (#21552340)

I was curious about point 3; was lion air responsible for detecting the failed AOA sensor or someone else?

I can't exactly say but a quick read comes up with some relevant points:

"According to the reports presented to the Indonesian parliament, a Florida-based aerospace company performed the repair of the faulty AOA sensor."

So possibly it's not LA's fault, however

"On Nov. 5, CNN published an update on the crash investigation from Capt. Nurcahyo Utomo of Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) noting that the FDR review also concluded that the aircraft's airspeed indicator had been malfunctioning on four consecutive flights prior to the crash. Utomo also indicated the pilots should have recognized the malfunction when it occurred on flight JT610."

There's no excuse for LA putting the airplane back in service after the first crew had to cut off the stab trim, or even bothering to inform the next crew of the issue.

That was my point (edit: and Nurcahyo Utomo's point). I was backing you up on this.
