You do not have to know what is going on. You do need to know how to stabilize the aircraft and place it in a safe position so you then have the time to figure out what is going on.



with all respect, Sir
turn off magic... that was possible on previous 737, before max... lets do not talk about AB.
MAX is different from any other 737, you cannot turn off magic... in case of trim stab... you turn off power! Not magic, Sir, turn off power, and manual wheel is smaller than in the 400s...hence higher force required to crank.
still with all due respect Sir, how hard is to move the trim manually on a MAX? (If you ever tried)
