1. Sorry if this was answered before, but assuming the flaps to be still extended during the Ethiopian 302 MCAS event, how would any other failure or failed sensor allow allow MCAS to operate? ( MCAS is electrically engineered NOT to function with flaps extended)
2. If at 400 feet descending fast and PM manual operation of the trim wheel too slow, would reengaging the trim cutout switches to use electrical column trim switches to override MCAS and provide a faster rate of corrective trim be a “ Hailmary” consideration?
THANKS.
