      • A stall can happen when the plane flies at too steep an angle. This can reduce the lift generated by the wings, potentially making the plane drop. To recover from a stall, a pilot would normally push the plane's nose down. In the 737 Max, MCAS does this automatically, moving the aircraft back to a "normal" flight position.
