World's largest pilots' union asks U.S. to improve cockpit procedures for Boeing 737 MAX
737 MAX to help pilots disable an erroneous stall alert that could be a serious distraction during mid-flight emergencies, major pilots unions said on Monday.The proposal about an erroneous “stick shaker” alert is among recommendations the Air Line Pilots Association and the Allied Pilots Association submitted during a 45-day public comment period for proposed 737 MAX design and operating changes laid out last month by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration .
The proposals, which include recommendations for pilots during emergency situations, came during a U.S.-led gathering of regulators in the UK for a training review of the MAX. ALPA proposed steps that would allow flight crews to identify and pull a circuit breaker to stop the stick shaker after they confirm an alert is erroneous, echoing an earlier recommendation by Transport Canada.
The union said the FAA should condense a checklist for dealing with a loss of control called runaway stabilizer to help pilots “more rapidly isolate the problem.”
