Very interesting video from Mentour Pilot where he simulates the Ethiopian accident in a real simulator:
Pilots did right and it went MAX wrong - MCAS
Bjørn Ferhm at Leeham:
ET302 used the Cut-Out switches to stop MCAS
The crew of Ethiopian Airlines ET302, which crashed with 157 people on board, used the prescribed Stabilator Trim Cut-Out switches to stop MCAS according to an article by Wall Street Journal today. Yet still, they crashed. We’ve had the information this could indeed be the case for several days, but we didn’t want to speculate in such a sensitive matter.The Wall Street article sites information coming from the investigation. By it, we can now reveal how it’s possible the aircraft can crash despite using the Cut-Out switches. To verify, we ran it all in a simulator together with MentourPilot Youtube channel over the last days.
