Pilots need lots of physical power it would seem, at least when flying a 737MAX. Unfortunately behind paywall, looking for a 'free' version. "Boeing’s Latest 737 MAX Concern: Pilots’ Physical Strength Turning manual crank during emergency procedure may be too difficult for some people Efforts to get Boeing Co.’s 737 MAX jetliners back in the air have been delayed in part by concerns about whether the average pilot has enough physical strength to turn a manual crank in extreme emergencies." www.wsj.com/articles/physical-strength-of-pilots-emerges-as-issue-in-returning-737-max-to-flight-11560937879 |

Mind you, a little bit later "FAA says pilot strength isn’t holding up Boeing 737 Max recertification . Federal Aviation Administration says concerns over an emergency crank isn’t causing delays in its 737 Max review. . The emergency system is also used in Boeing 737 NG planes. . When the 737 Max will return to the skies is still unclear." www.cnbc.com/2019/06/19/faa-says-pilot-strength-isnt-delaying-boeing-737-max-recertification.html"Boeing's Latest 737 MAX Concern : Pilots' Physical Strength -- Update Efforts to get Boeing Co.'s 737 MAX jetliners back in the air have been delayed in part by concerns about whether the average pilot has enough physical strength to turn a manual crank in extreme emergencies. The concerns have made the issue the focus of engineering analysis, simulator sessions and flight testing by the plane maker and American air-safety officials, according to people familiar with the details. The extent of the internal debate hasn't been previously reported." www.marketscreener.com/BOEING-COMPANY-THE-4816/news/Boeing-s-Latest-737-MAX-Concern-Pilots-Physical-Strength-Update-28781959/ |

"Captain 'Sully' Sullenberger has a message for Boeing about its 737 Max Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the decorated commercial airline captain responsible for saving the lives of 155 people in a heroic 2009 landing on New York’s Hudson River, has a message for Boeing (BA) and the Federal Aviation Administration: pilots need robust training before the 737 Max returns to the skies. “Reading about it on an iPad isn't even close to sufficient,” Sullenberger testified during a congressional subcommittee hearing on Wednesday. He asserted that recertification should require simulator training, which subjects pilots to conditions that closely emulate those in flight. “We should all want pilots to experience these challenging situations for the first time in a simulator and not in flight with passengers and crew on board,” Sullenberger said." www.yahoo.com/finance/news/chesley-sully-sullenberger-boeing-184347486.html |

Thats what happens when you try to fit an engine to an out of date airframe.

It's taking a wee bit longer than expected. "Boeing says it might have to shut down 737 Max production Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg warned investors Wednesday that the company might need to further slow or temporarily halt its 737 Max production. Boeing has continued to build the 737 Max, its bestselling jet, although at a slower pace. The plane has been grounded since mid-March because of two fatal crashes that killed more than 300 people. Boeing hopes to get approval for the plane to fly again sometime early in the fourth quarter. Muilenburg said any further delays in approval to fly the 737 Max again could jeopardize its production. A further slowdown or temporary shutdown of 737 Max production is "not something we want to do, but an alternative that we have to prepare for," Muilenburg told investors on a conference call. He said the company needs to prepare for that "to make sure we've covered all scenarios."" edition.cnn.com/2019/07/24/business/boeing-loss/index.html |

Be happy fly the 737 MAX, ehm, the 737-8200 I mean  "F.A.A. managers conceded that the Max “does not meet” agency guidelines “for protecting flight controls,” according to an agency document. But in another document, they added that they had to consider whether any requested changes would interfere with Boeing’s timeline. The managers wrote that it would be “ impractical at this late point in the program,” for the company to resolve the issue. Mr. Duven at the F.A.A. also said the decision was based on the safety record of the plane." www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-roots-of-boeing-s-737-max-crisis-a-regulator-relaxes-its-oversight/ar-AAEWDsq |
