So if the Lion crew had switched everything off AP AT etc etc and flown and trimmed the a/c manually to a safe speed (using thrust setting) and safe height with pitch & power (assume flaps up) to sort things out,
it was always going to be impossible for them because MCAS would over ride anything they did and still put the nose down, leaving the guys in a complete muddle
(Thinking why is it doing this?)
Re the comment made above ''This crew was not well-prepared to handle the AOA malfunction and subsequent warnings'' -
I thought that Lion Air had not purchased the AOA disagree display option?
So with all the other startle factors and warnings going off how would the crew recognise an AOA disagree was the sole issue here?
Am I correct in thinking this?
Thanks
