Salute!

Thanks, PEI.

Guess Airbus did a great, not good, job getting the Part 25 cert paragraphs and such changed for their plane. I would bet that the Concorde folks provided some lessons, as it was a lot more FBW than most realize.

My main issue here is that I cannot fathom the big reason for MCAS was strictly "feel" on the yoke/column/stick. My belief is that the plane's aero does not satisfy the longitudinal stability criteria. In short, as I get to a higher AoA the plane wants to increase AoA by itself, or at least require less nose up control command than at a slightly lower AoA. I use the term "command" and not physical movement of the stick/column/yoke.
