Salute!
Thank you, Zeffy
Another layer of the oinion has been peeled back
I, too, questioned the amount of trim movement as well as the repetitive sequence if the pilot beeped his trim switch.
Two and a half degrees of AoA on the big stab seems to be a lot. And then to keep doing it without some indication other than another nose down trim that you have not needed nor commanded.?
I fully understand that if the AoA is FUBAR, then MCAS will keep up its act until AoA is within limits or the crew disables electric trim. I got it, I read all the instructions before I flew the next time, as I didn't know we had the system until my buddy crashed the other day..
Covered our procedure to beat Hal during preflight briefing, and Joe Baggadonuts thot it was a good idea because he didn't know about MCAS either. Besides, he weighs fifty pounds more than me and is built like NFL linebacker. So if it looked like MCAS was on a binge, then he could pull back and I would turn off the electric trim. So there!
Let's roll...
