re the chip overload.

and it delayed the actions the FAA pilot could take to stop the trim runaway.
I hope that doesn't include the basic use of the thumb switches.

Again I feel my old bones needing there to be reversion to an aircraft with nothing but the electric trim thumb switches. And then, nothing but a crank and cables which won't fight back.

There has to be the potential for this aircraft to become a basic flying machine.

For example they could have been experimenting with the backup cutout switch, thinking it might be analogous to the autopilot cutout switch on the NG.
What a good point. A last ditch try of that B/U switch by itself?
