Transport committee  Normally—and Sylvain will be able to correct me if I'm wrong—if something turns out to be a major change, it should appear on the type certificate. Is that correct?

Transport committee  Okay. Sylvain has gone through the type certificate. Go ahead, Sylvain.

Transport committee  Stab trim system....

Transport committee  There was one engineer who said, “Are we going to allow the system to be controlled by a single sensor, which can cause catastrophic events?” I'd like to know who that guy is; he should be put in charge.

Transport committee  It would be a huge uphill battle. I would fight for making sure that they get excellent simulator training. If you want to achieve something, maybe that's what we should be aiming at.

Transport committee  Yes, on the type rating, the airlines try to maintain that common type rating as much as they can.

Transport committee  For the handling of this aircraft, in normal flight nobody should get near a stall in a 737 Max, until something unexpected happens.

Transport committee  Are you referring to the location of the engines and how they can pull it up?

Transport committee  Oh, my gosh. When they found they needed to expand the envelope of protection from the MCAS at low speed, that's when everyone should have stopped and said, “Wait a minute.” Fly-by-wire aircraft can control elevators to control the pitch of the aircraft with finesse. They can gr

Transport committee  You need to be extremely careful when you're going to use such a high-gain surface to do the same type of finesse that you'd do if you had a fly-by-wire bird.

Transport committee  Yes, well, that's part of the HSTS modernization that would have to happen. Typically, we do what's called a particular risk analysis—engine rotor burst, APU rotor burst on the tail of the aircraft in this case—and we say, “Well, you have a blade from that rotor that's going to

Transport committee  That's typically done. That should be done by default. You may be referring to the 787.

Transport committee  Well, on the 787, for instance, it came out. Well, it's a composite wing. You don't do lightning protection on fuel tanks the same way when they're built out of composites. There's a different rule. I worked on that on the MRJ in Seattle, peripherally, and on the Global 7500. Yo

Transport committee  I'm going to go back to the transcript from the February 25 meeting and repeat that I was in agreement with what was said by the Transport Canada people. This is also why this was a late addition in my preparation. I had the idea of perhaps going towards a common certification.

Transport committee  My last job was in Seattle, on the Mitsubishi regional jet, the MRJ. There was a big team whose only task was to try to contain suppliers trying to apply similarities so that their system could be installed on the aircraft without any change. Sometimes I joked, “Are you calling s
