Left AOA Heat parameter changed state.
Edit: I thought it was not possible to engage the autopilot while there was AOA disagree, but it seems that it did happen for a short interval.
Edit: The sequence in this crash was slightly different, with autopilot engaged before flap retraction. The first MCAS activation was not immediately after flaps up, but only after the autopilot disengaged a few seconds later. A subtle difference perhaps?
