| 1460004 | 2019-04-24 11:06:00 | I think the 737 sits abnormally low you can see on the latest non Max versions the engine has a squashed bottom . . . Not squashed on the bottom, they ran out of conveyor belts and temporarily had to use abrasive belts that caused rapid wear . ;) |

It's common knowledge that Mangere was built during a period of severe tidal discombobulations and (long story short) the runway was built too high. The 737 was certified, and the operating manual promulgated under old data now known to be erroneous. Consequently 737s land, taxi and park too low. This is why they never change the undercarriage legs with passengers on board, the tension released as the undercarriage is freed could fire the aircraft to an appreciable altitude with nasty effects on Stewardii dispensing sweets early to avoid the pre-landing rush. |

AoA Sensor | Boeing 737 Engineering Failure www.youtube.com Confirmed elsewhere that this is indeed the type of sensor used on the 737 and only one is in use at any time. Got this video from this thread on Redditt: old.reddit.com |

| 1460010 | 2019-05-03 09:00:00 | I'm really pleased you enjoyed it, I hope more people will look at it as I think it's the kind of common sense analysis we need a lot more of in many other aspects of living as well. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1460011 | 2019-05-03 22:52:00 | Latest news on the malfunction: edition.cnn.com Remember that plane, a 767 I think, that supposedly flew for hours with the pilots and passengers asleep then crashed into the Southern Ocean by Australia? They never found the wreckage just some bits washed up on beaches by Africa. I wonder if there is any connection to this fault in that plane as well? |

Do you mean the MAS 777 that the nutbar Malay captain flew off course till it run out of fuel and crashed? |
