er, nope, it doesn't do that. It may be semantics but the 2.5 degrees is not an attitude value, it is the shift of the trimmable horizontal stabiliser, THS by a maximum value of 2.5 degrees Aircraft Nose Down, AND, which is stabiliser leading edge up. [corrected for error]which will give whatever to the aircraft attitude, dependent on what the driver does on the control column. MCAS is an input for control force, it is not a pitch attitude adjusting system, of course left unchecked it apparently is good for about 40 degrees nose down...
