All The Way To MAXimum Safety with Neelakshi

The Boeing 737 is an aviation icon and one of the most successful commercial aircraft ever built. However, recent news surrounding one of its variants, the 737 MAX, has raised questions, particularly regarding safety.

In this episode, we speak with Neelakshi, a technical ground instructor on the Boeing 737 family and directly address the primary concern: the safety of the Boeing 737 MAX.

The episode also covers the following:

The fascinating world of special aviation operations like PBN (Performance-Based Navigation), EDTO (Extended Diversion Time Operations), and low visibility procedures.
A detailed, yet accessible, explanation of the MCAS (Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System) in the 737 MAX
Difference in aircraft design and automation philosophy between Boeing and Airbus.
Insight into the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 Emergency Exit Door incident
The experiences and apprehensions of pilots transitioning between Airbus and Boeing aircraft during training
Why the Boeing 737 continues to be a vital, relevant, and appreciated aircraft in today's skies

Plus, don't miss our rapid-fire section where we get Neelakshi's take on being a passenger, her favourite aircraft (spoiler: it's not the 737!), and her nerdiest aviation moment.
