Are the risks associated with this still acceptable given the difficulty / impossibility of moving the trim as demonstrated by the accidents and elsewhere.
Implementing a flight control system able to catch all types of runaway will bring B737 in compliance with CS 25.671/25.672.
This will most likely require that the trim ‘relay logic' is implemented in the ‘HAL’.
