The pilot will not like where it is going, as it is in an unfamiliar part of the flight envelope that it operates. So the pilot should cut MCAS when it is needed?
Great post.
You can't have it both ways: either the pilot is supposed to kill any trim running for over 3 seconds, so MCAS wouldn't achieve it's goal when it's required, or, pilots should let the trim run until it stops in case MCAS is correct and could end up too AND to correct.
If you expect the pilots to instantly know which one it is, you probably don't think we need EGPWS, TCAS, stall warning or overspeed warning either.......
