I think a few people now are making a case for an input into the basic elevator control run.
The reason is:
1 This was where the increased force was Intended to be felt.
2 The stab remains in trim - the input is direct and can be trimmed.
3 Depending on the design the input only occurs once, bringing the feel into line with the NG, whereas with MCAS if the high AoA condition remains the input repeats.
4 In failure mode of the sensor(s) a one time feel correction won’t be catastrophic and a mechanical system won’t repeatedly react to such a failure.
5. In use, a simple position switch could switch on a cockpit notification.
Two ways have been mooted - an input into the elevator feel box or a dedicated high AoA box in the control run.
The latter would be easier to achieve, quicker and would mean that the elevator feel box remains common.
Unfortunately the “back to the drawing board” mentality has long since been replaced by the effort to make an original idea work, no matter what. Don’t admit anything is a mistake.
For a line pilot this work ethic goes mightily against the grain.
So we will probably finally see another bodge to the bodge applied to the trim system.
