If the initiator was a sensor problem like Lion Air it should be obvious. This aircraft appeared to have an MCAS event just after liftoff. That should not happen.
it all boils down to the basic fact that the system is there to “fix” poor aerodynamics...very sad indeed, and to compound the problem, the “Fix” is poorly designed....Boeing already had issues with the authrottle sustem on the NG using a single sensor, Capts radalt, you think they would have learned...
