An off-duty pilot in the cockpit of a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet jumped in to help crew disable a malfunctioning flight-control system as it experienced difficulties in October, according to Bloomberg.
The next day, with a different crew, the same plane crashed into the sea off Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board.On doomed Lion Air Flight 610, pilots searched in a handbook for a way to stop the plane from nosediving, according to an exclusive Reuters report.Reuters cites the information from three people with knowledge of the contents of the cockpit voice recorder that has never been made public.
The AOA sensors send information to the plane's computers about the angle of the plane's nose relative to the airflow over and under the wings to help determine whether the plane is about to stall. Software installed on Boeing's 737 Max 8 planes, called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System , automatically lowers the nose of the plane when it receives information from the AOA sensors that the aircraft is flying too slowly or steeply, and at risk of stalling.
