9/12/2019 Angle Of Attack Sensor
There's so much misinformation being spread by this that average people easily lose track of what's real. Not long ago someone claimed the ethiopian pilots could have easily manually changed the trim settings since 737 has a mechanical connection in the trim wheel. Downside is that if the trim setting is too much off, the wheel just won't turn without pushing the nose down, which again is a problem if you just got off the ground.then there's statistics about the ethiopian company's safety track record.

Again, this was a new plane.then there's claims that the crew wasn't informed about the changes in the plane because it's some backwater african company. The whole idea in boeing's design was to minimize re-education of pilots and as such even the big american operators weren't updated on how the system worked.the CEO keeping the 'uneducated african pilots' narrative as the main reason even at this point when everything's out in the open is just sad. While Huawei might indeed simply be offering 100% legit tech without backdoors built in, in today's always-on global economy it's an additional unnecessary risk.Take the example of a mobile phone used by a government employee. Even if they're using Good for Enterprise or some other sandbox-like system, if the phone hardware itself has been engineered to capture screen memory buffers and whatnot (think of it as a perma-rootkit) it could have disastrous economic or security implications.Remember the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities that went largely undiscovered in Intel chips (and some IBM and ARM processors) for years?Prevention is better than cure.
