There's no date on that Boeing statement. Was it issued before or after the Ethiopian crash?
It showed up on the website on May 05, 2019. at around noon.
Strictly from a technical perspective, however, it needs to be pointed out that if a 737 crew were to receive an "AOA Disagree" message and go to the appropriate NNC, that checklist would simply direct them to the "IAS Disagree" checklist and/or the "ALT Disagree" checklist as appropriate
Well, that was my question, if you did get the alert, what would you do? With MCAS, it appears that it uses one specific AoA vane? (or just one vane) I am unclear on this.
Cutting off MCAS does not solve the issue of the reason it was created in the first place, lift from the nacelles.
