Do the cutout switches disable MCAS?
I'm still confused about the Boeing reiteration of the runaway trim abnormal as an existing procedure that will address a MCAS false activation. If the trim does not stop by using the cutoff switches they say to hold the trim wheel. Does this mean it may not be disabled by the cutout switches? It would make sense that the FAA would not want the MCAS system to be disabled since it's there for an aircraft handling issue. If MCAS can be disabled by the cutout switches then why did Boeing just reiterate the use of the runaway trim abnormal? You now are flying an aircraft where you should take more care to not get slow or load it up in a turn and you only have the your trim wheel if your elevator input cannot unload the aircraft. Why didn't that advice get included with the AD? Does anybody have access to the MEL and whether you can dispatch with MCAS inop?
