Probably. But if you’ve reached the point when you’re pretty sure it’s MCAS gone AWOL, you’d be disconnecting the stab, not deploying flaps at 330kts+
As I’ve pointed out before, how do you know when you’ve got the trim running and it wasn’t you on the switches, that it’s a runaway or normal operation, especially during the cleanup. Is there a simple yes/no path you can follow? Seems not...
