Holy molely, Batman!

Now we find out that stick pressure increases to “help” the pilot control the plane like the one he used to fly, Somehow, the FCOM did not advise us that we could expect increased control pressure at high AoA when flying “manual”. I would have thot that was an established characteristic of the beast, as with most planes flying today.

So MCAS is the aero solution, with computer help and not basic aero laws of stability and control without “help” And we have also tried to help the clueless pilot by changing the feel system.

I am concerned that there are several systems on this plane that contribute to, maybe conflict with, each other using various sensors in different manners, and finally wind up commanding nose down trim when you least expect it. SHEESH!
