Salute!
I have corrected the misunderstanding(s) that existed a few post back ( Vess and Gums). Not surprising when dealing with the not so simple implementation and explanation of MCAS from various sources.
@FDR thanks for the references. I had to look them up myself back in November because I couldn't believe the plane got certified with a crappy pitch momentum plot at high alpha.
It still amazes me that many folks posting lately think MCAS is a "stall prevention" or "stall warning" feature. Oh well, being the old instructor pilot, I explained how it works to my wife using a steering wheel analogy where the wheel moved all by itself as she tried to turn harder near the stops. "Oh yeah, I get it"
Thanks for putting up with my rants, but this whole thing bugs me. If we prevent just one accident then it is worth it in spades, huh?
