Confident in the safety of its new high tech seven three seven max this after a lawsuit alleging that design flaws brought down the line of flight six one zero. last months the suit filed by the family of the proton focuses on the planes flight control system that uses failing to warn pilots that the system. could force the planes nose down on expectedly it also sides black box data showing problems with the airspeed indicator one hundred and eighty nine people were on board the two month old je...

Would appear to offer the u.k. financial services a better relationship with the e.u. then perhaps a panel the u.s. and thats why many financial institutions have moved some of their operations to the continent. boeing says it is confident in the safety of its new high tech seven three seven max airline after an lawsuit alleging that design falls brought down line five six ten year in the new year last month soon slant by filed by the family of rio. focused on the planes flight controls instamat...

Point of view. after that you will look at the flight path. it will show what altitude the aircraft was at and it will show the sequence of changes of the aircraft where the control positions were and you will also have readings from the pressure altitude and air speed indicator. these are all multiple data points. all of which effect together and give a picture of the flight. the rate of climb. rate of descent. pressure. it is not one single data point or one first thing you look at. you piece ...

Singapore, this particular route we are discussing and trying to navigate this thick of thunderstorm activity is nearly impossible. so chances are they encountered some rough weather. but we do know that the pilot did ask to ascend to 38,000 feet. and this is really crucial. because what were talking about is the tops of thunderstorm clouds even on our satellite imagery, starting to reach the upper levels of our troposphere. were talking about freezing temperatures. any kind of interaction with ...

>> what are the opening thats the pilot had to work when when you talk about how he responded to the weather? >> well, you know, were skating very quickly down the road of speculation. and, you know, you want to know what happened. that is natural. thats what comes to mind immediately. that was a weather situation. the weather created an incident with the aircraft with the troops and the speed machines that they navigate the aircraft. its the way the pilot responded to the air speed indicator. y...

They got iced up. what happened, the air speed indicator acted like an altimeter. so when the aircraft climbed, showed it was increasing in speed. that obviously wasnt happening. the pilots reacted to pulling the power back. thats the way you control the speed. what happened is that they didnt realize they were climbing, pulling the power back, enter the catastrophic stall, huge loss of lift on the wing and descended from 35,000 feet into the ocean. the pilots had no idea that the flight envelop...

Into the stall that they couldnt get out of is there anything that you would think this plane could promise it had, catastrophic at that altitude? >>, thats one of the worst things that could happy. pilots are just monitoring everything. the auto pilot, in their case, they had a static system failure, which then feeds erroneous data to the flight management computers. and the auto pilot uses that data, too. just like the pilots use it it and what would happen if your static system freezes up, or...

Water. a 17 mile straight-in final is a long way, but they had to cross a body of water. you have a greater sink rate over a body of water. >> you go down faster. >> right. you go down faster. its possible the flight got away. of course, its still possible they had problems with the altimeter. and the airspeed indicator. >> its possible there are mechanical problems here as well. mark, my question to you is how do we understand the safety revolution that has happened in commercial air? i mean, i...
