The AD states AoA disagree plus (in concert with) other “faults”. The key problem is that appropriate data that should have been in the Manual was missing.

One of these faults is “unable to disengage autopilot”. Which is interesting, because the mystery problem occurs only in manual flight.

in any case, the AD refers to “erroneous” AoA data. As two discrete installed systems, Independence of data sources instead of sampled together, seems an odd approach.

It may be Boeing’s idea to keep them discrete so a simple change of command would likely solve the MCAS issue. However, handing off a corrupted flight path might be worse.
