The investigation will next head to Seattle and the 737-MAX engineering simulator where investigators will attempt to exercises to better understand what happened.
If Boeing didn't think it was important enough to mention MCAS in the QRH, why would they provide the code for it in a multi-million dollar simulator? Textron/TRU has 737 MAX Simulators in Miami as of 4/2017, but I would be shocked if they could replicate this flight. I don't think you get extra play time @ > $1,000/hour?
Ha! I think you hit the nail on the head with your first sentence. Except it should be re-written to read: "Boeing
may have the ONLY simulator with MCAS functions in Seattle".
I doubt that the simulators produced by TRU and CAE have any modeling of the MCAS functionality, and even if they do, I doubly doubt there is a malfunction that allows a single AOA probe failure and corresponding cascading effects.
