This is the only mention of flight testing of loss of MCAS I've ever seen confirmed here or elsewhere.

Somewhere else in all the pages posted, I got the impression that because MCAS only fires up outside the normal flight envelope, it gets a lower criticality rating, so did not require flight testing, or even sim testing of certain failure modes.

And so if it only fires up outside the normal envelope, why test the loss of it only in the normal envelope?

And what about when failures push you past the normal envelope, and into or beyond the operational envelope?
And all the redactions really are curious, 2 of 4 failure scenarios in particular. What else is hiding in plain sight?
