Yesterday, Tuesday 23 January:<p>- a Swiss Air Bombardier C-Series "crew declared emergency reporting steam in the cockpit" [1]<p>- a LATAM 767 "needed to shut one of the engines" [2]<p>- a Lufthansa A320 "decided to divert to Amsterdam reporting a smokey smell in the cabin" [3]<p>- an American 737-800 "initiated a go around advising their flaps did not fully extend" [4]<p>Within that scope, the Delta 757's "nose wheels separat[ing] and roll[ing] away," an incident which caused "a delay of about 5:15 hours," is amusing but unremarkable [5]. (In contrast, today, Wednesday 24 January (EDIT: 2 January), a Japan Airlines A350 "collided with Coast Guard DH8C on runway and burst into flames" [6]. No souls lost.)<p>Every day, these issues come up [7]. (Do not click if you're a nervous flier.) Something is wrong with the 737 Max 9, possibly the entire Max series. Modern aviation is safe not because we never have malfunctions, but because we prepare for and learn from them. If you filter for Boeing-specific news, you may not appreciate how much noise is in what you see as signal.<p>[1] <a href="https://avherald.com/h?article=51403e71&opt=0" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com/h?article=51403e71&opt=0</a><p>[2] <a href="https://avherald.com/h?article=513fed6d&opt=0" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com/h?article=513fed6d&opt=0</a><p>[3] <a href="https://avherald.com/h?article=5140aea1&opt=0" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com/h?article=5140aea1&opt=0</a><p>[4] <a href="https://avherald.com/h?article=5140b1b8&opt=0" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com/h?article=5140b1b8&opt=0</a><p>[5] <a href="https://avherald.com/h?article=5140ab01&opt=0" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com/h?article=5140ab01&opt=0</a><p>[6] <a href="https://avherald.com/h?article=5132b9fe&opt=0" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com/h?article=5132b9fe&opt=0</a><p>[7] <a href="https://avherald.com" rel="nofollow">https://avherald.com</a>
