since the Captain has overall authority, why depriving him of the possibility to shut off HAL, if he choose so? Actually why that was the path chosen? I speculate that the airframe will have issues with certification if MCAS could be disable flipping a swtich!
Sorry, I am confused. In helo ops HAL is height above landing, what are you referencing in this regard?
The issue appears to be in the FBW scenario, my reference was being able to turn off AP functions, but maintain electrical control of the elevator, rather than manual control.
As it appears MCAS is an automated function, shut that down, but not elec control, right?
Or hell, call me crazy, fix the ac so it does not need MCAS to fly...oi vey!
