I have read and understood all the certification requirements that led to MCAS. Can someone explain to a non-pilot: In what common circumstances would (edit badly worded question) the pilot of an aircraft actually want to raise the nose (end-edit) close to the stall angle, while flying with flaps up? High altitude turbulence avoidance or maneuvering? Tight turns at high bank angle?
