infrequentflyer789 #2884,

Thank you for the interesting information.
A conclusion from this is that the vane output was corrupt, but perhaps without considering the wiring into ADIRU and thence to FCC.

There is still no explanation from investigations or Boeing as to how AoA could be corrupted.
As currently described, the Boeing modification limits the difference in AoA which MCAS uses, but presumably not so for other systems.
Thus if the AoA corruption is ‘new’ to the 737 Max, then other systems could suffer more frequent events after the modification because AoA corruption would still occur.
