f MCAS is creating more troubles than solving and if it is of no use for stall protection (Boeing's claim) why not just take out the entire MCAS? If authorities require heavier stick feel close to the stall for certification why not modify the feel system instead of violently interfering with the steering and using the trim to brute force the nose down?
Its not for feel.
At certain AoA conditions, between the engines moved forward and up (moving the CG forward), coupled with the engine nacelles provide a sudden jump in lift, the nose pitches up.
MCAS sole purpose is to bring the nose back down when this happens.
Nothing other than to counter the nose kicking up.
why not just take out the entire MCAS?
the MAX does not meet cert requirements without MCAS.
Looking at the TOD greenband, the forward CG is likely why on the 738, it is 1.5 to 6.5 and the MAX it is 3 to 8....(and also why at conditions, there is more of a tendency for the nose to kick up)
