Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being so patient.
My first question is for you, Mr. Robinson.
The government claims that the Boeing 737 MAX has become the safest aircraft in the world, given all of the checks and reviews that have been done. Excuse me for being a bit confused, since the Boeing 737 MAX is equipped with MCAS, which is supposed to automatically correct any flight instability resulting from the fact that the aircraft grew so large over the years that it became unstable and no longer functioned as it should have. MCAS works in combination with a hydraulic system that operates the horizontal stabilizer.
Can you tell me which is safer: that system or the fly-by-wire system used in modern aircraft?
