Why did he retract flaps when he knew there was a 50/50 chance the MCAS would go off.
Why did he not set a reasonable pwr setting so as to not accelerate out of control?
Must have been confusing for him?
As for Boeing Max
It will never fly again without serious modifications!
Cpt B
It appears he tried to engage the left autopilot a fourth time, near the end at 05:43:30.
That's the only explanation to the AP Warning they got there.
It appears they
- restored the stab trim cutout switches
- made two quick manual ANU inputs
- hit the autopilot engange button, hoping the autopilot would solve the situation for them
Instead MCAS kicked in again...
