"Get the trim somewhere near correct with the electric trim switch and then turn off the trim." - Perfect wording to have put in that AD! - yet there is the "no problem here" attitude that prevented such a simple wording.
Instead it was something like revert to previous check lists and procedures. (but some of you will not know AoA disagree - just to complicate things a bit more)
I think that actually and technically once MCAS is switched off certain areas of flight within the flight envelope are actually in "test pilot territory" as certification standards are not meet.
Around post # 330 there seems a pilot has used the MAX sim and the impression is - basic flying skills are very much challenged in the simulated event.
