Only just 5s trimming that iterates? It will ran rare right in stall regime right, or also running on the sharp banking?

3. Its not possible to turned off just mcas instead whole sts trim system?

4. Eth302 is the b37m with aoa sensor indicator like US airlines has or cheaper that doesn't have aoa sensor indicator like lion air has.



The STS system trims for speed, and works against the pilot when it operates. It is not a system that helps the pilots to keep the aircraft in trim. You would not notice if it was disabled. It’s an annoying piece of kit and only installed for certification reasons.
