When all is said and done, the one common indicator is the AoA reading on the Cap's side. Debate everything else till your heart's content.

Why did it flip to ~75deg at 150kn? More interestingly, why did it flip back to "normal" for a moment just before end of flight before flipping back to error?

I assume the slowly diverging altitude readings relate to the AoA stuck at 75 while pitot static reads ok...

Boeing's proposed fix includes shutting off the "required" MCAS when AoA disagrees so this is kind of important.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot guys? What's happening to that vane or the electrons/code behind it?
