Boeing 737 Stall Escape manoeuvre, why MAX needs MCAS!!

Why does the Boeing 737MAX 8 need MCAS in the first place?
I am guessing that you guys have heard the word "MCAS" and "Jackscrew" being thrown around in Media the last few days but what do they actually mean? In this video I will teach you all you need to know in order to execute an "Approach to Stall and Escape" manoeuvre. I will explain why we do the things we do and WHY the Boeing 737NG is Different to the Boeing 737MAX in this regard.
As always, if you have any questions I would like you to write them in the comments OR, if you want to reach me directly, then just tag @mentour in the Mentour Aviation app-chat.

Very interesting!. Learned more from you then any news outlet. THANK YOU

You can see just how uncomfortable both pilots felt with the "airspeed" verbal warning, even though it was only a simulator. He wasn't kidding, that warning definitely wakes him up.

“You’ll get ‘BUFFET ALERT’. Now this warning has nothing to do with food.”

Total deadpan delivery. I see you Mentour! Hahaha

Really great video! I'm not a pilot, just a big time aviation enthusiast. You explain everything so clearly that even a non pilot like me can understand. Thank you so much!

[johnhanks]

I am retired Boeing and have worked on the 737 project almost twenty years. You have explained the system and characteristics better that than anyone could.

[LuideMulumba]

Exactly the video I've been waiting for. Great work!

[godfreypoon]

Looks like doggo was experiencing some uncommanded roll!

From the Seattle Times, “The newspaper said the analysis also failed to account for how the system could reset itself each time a pilot responded -- in essence, gradually ratcheting the horizontal stabilizer into a dive position.”

I think the root of the problem is that the MCAS continues to be active even when AOA and Speed are unreliable due to damage sensors or other defect. In Airbus there is a degradation in protecions when the aircraft is in a degraded flight law due to some failure. So basically the airbus is like "I am broken, you need to fly alone" and the Boeing "I am broken, but will continue to act like I am working"

lol "buffet alert has nothing to do with food"

I really wish journalists would watch videos like this before writing their articles. Really well explained and presented.

Mentour, I work as a mechanic for an airline in the US that currently has several 737 Max 8 in their fleet. I was just looking at the maintenance manuals, did a search option and found no mention anywhere about the MCAS system. Interesting.

I trimmed the B737F-200 and 300. The engines on the 300 was the first plat bottom versions. Then it was already so nose heavy that it could not fly empty. It needed at least 1800kg of ballast in the last two positions to take off. Granted the cargo door was heavy and also had to be placed in position A because the engines was in the way of the FMC. It could only go down hill from there with bigger engines in later versions.

[EdPMur]

That is what I call professional and accurate information! Thank you Mentour!

[WeirdSeagul]

the stick shake and warning makes you nervous even in the simulator. its scary

[llhold]

I really hope all pilots are like you because I'm flying for my first time ever in 3 days

[GeFlixes]

6:50 I'm wondering why they're turning from blinking to solid again? Normally, blinking things catch the eye more than non-blinking things? I would've made the blink frequency higher or do it the other way around: first solid, then blinking.
Or is it flashing not because you're at the beginning of the amber area, but because you condition changed from 'normal' to 'low speed'?

You and Juan Brown (Blancolirio channel) are the best Pilots in the world when it comes to
explaining things with no BS and undestandable to both Novices and
laymen alike.
