Salute!
Absolutely stellar post, Centaurus . Outstanding and timely.
Guess being able to manually fly a plane is a valuable skill, as is recognizing what the problem is. I say this as many posters on the relevant threads are kissing off the trim implementation on the 737 by saying, :"no big deal. Just turn off the electric trim". Unlike those of us that flew single engine and had engine failure, the MCAS malfunction is not as easy to recognize. Especially true if you have never heard of the thing and exactly how it works.
