I&amp;#x27;m following the mainstream media coverage, so I may not be privy to details, but is that being made into a big deal. It feels like it should be because regulators signed off on their impression, then Boeing changed the control authority of MCAS without informing regulators.&lt;p&gt;If this isn&amp;#x27;t illegal and fineable, I hope the outcome of this makes misleading regulators in this way a criminal act.</text><parent_chain><item><author>Someone1234</author><text>Airbus aircraft require three AoA sensors because they&amp;#x27;re considered safety critical.
