Also if that it what he was thinking, then that implies he knew that the stall warning was false?
Or.... insufficient confidence in knowing which of the three plus inadequate height agl
So
Power maintained to mitigate stall risk
Autopilot engaged to mitigate against MCAS
UAS less of a risk than either of the above
