So IF MCAS or other fubar system runs AND for.5 degrees/units (?) in ?? seconds- twice as fast as trim switch- and then one reverts to manual - how long and how hard to wind wheel at least 5 turns- and how long to turn 40 turns ... while being lifted by negative G and ground approaching and now one is supposed to cut throttles to avoid overspeed - try this in the sim at say 5000 AGL ! With a sSm that at least requires force as a function of airspeed... plus feel force and override of clutch or break.
