Then per EAD trim cutout.
The plane gets faster quickly, control loads higher.
Someone would need to pull the yoke and reduce thrust, but both are trying to get the nose up with the trim wheel???
Really??.
So they clean up the airplane, N1 is in the 80s or 90s, MCAS kicks in and the PF for some reason is not trimming off the loads with manual electric trim. Instead the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches iaw the EAD are set to cutout at the most unfortunate time.They bring out the trim wheel handle and try to trim via muscle power. While thrust remains in the 80s or 90s. You're now in a place where reducing thrust will make the a/c attempt to point the nose down even further and not reducing thrust/speed will make it increasingly more difficult to rotate the trim wheel. And the person next to you has 2-300hrs total flight time... Is this how it reads?
