Not trying to criticise the crew but rather clarify my reading of the data presented:
1. Pilot manually flying, gets an AoA disagreement on climb out, pilots clean up.
2. Pulls back on stick and gets a stick shaker.
3. Pilot trims logically, MCAS trims ND worried about AoA.
4. At some point AP goes in then out, not clear why.
5. MCAS trims ND.
6. Pilots cut-out trim. (It seem MCAS tries to trim down to no effect which was good)
7. No further trim inputs from pilots (Looks like trim wheel not used)
8. Issues with stick forces, re-engage automatic trim and lose control.
9. Manual trim wheel doesn't seem to have been used
9.Throughout speed is increasing because thrust has not changed so stick forces are increasing.
A confusing situation no doubt, but after cutting out the electric trim would setting a sensible pitch and reducing power while using the trim wheel have lead to a different result?
