As has been pointed out many times in the two main threads discussing the 737 MAX crashes, the LT610 PF counteracted uncommanded (MCAS) nose-down trim on 21 separate occasions, yet for whatever reason did not believe he was experiencing a stab trim runaway, and failed to activate the CUTOUT switches.
There are two big questions:
- why did he fail to recognize the stab trim runaway and activate the CUTOUT ?
- why did he hand control of the trim to the FO with such a critical malfunction occurring ?
