What is described is also a design that is not compliant with the requirements of Part 25. There is no justification that can be made that an aircraft needs to be handled in such a manner with the failure of a system that is both possible and part of the design requirement to have no adverse effects on failure... Forget about MCAS, how on earth is the procedure in the FCTM reasonable or acceptable. This is not an acro, it is a transport category aircraft.
