I was sick the day they taught aerodynamics at flight
school but.....with FCENG84s help this MCAS is becoming a
lot clearer.It seems they wont be allowing the pilot to
inhibit MCAS using the stick when they make their software changes.
They obviously cant.
So the only thing that makes sense now is they wire up both AoA
indicators to MCAS and if they both agree and show high AoA
then MCAS can let rip.
This will for sure decrease the odds of an unwanted MCAS event.
FCENG84 has helped steady the ship here and calmed the
hysteria but ......what about Jodels scenario of a flapless
landing on a MAX with a birdstrike at 200
feet on finals followed by an MCAS runaway?What then?
The NG was as far as they should have taken that 1960's airframe/geometry....quit while you're ahead I say
