Salute FCeng !!
Sorry, but my understanding of bad AoA inputs or a combination of sensor inputs to the ADRIU's is that would trigger the a/p disconnect. Would you trust mach to govern elevator trim if it showed 0.3M when at 35,000 feet?
I understand that the MCAS is not supposed to work if A/P engaged. Or is it only that I cannot connect A/P if MCAS trying to kill me?? I also got from the FCOM stuff that A/P would disconnect if we had unreliable/disagree IAS/alt/etcetera. SHeesh. The fault tree I have to run thru when I have all the warnings and bells and whistles and stick shaker in the cockpit is beginning to bug me.
My scenario is based upon the FCC and other boxes disconnecting a/p. Not MCAS, which ain't supposed to work unless flying pseudo-manual with flaps up.
later,
