Re: The FDR plot

Note the call-out box which states "Automatic Trim Command With No Change In Pitch Trim". However, there is another downwards blip of automatic trim command shortly before the crash, which clearly causes more nose-down trim. This must be the result of the MCAS being re-enabled. For some reason, the CVR transcript does not say so, but the pilots must have re-enabled the Cutout Switch.
