P.S. Show us the plots of the pitch moments versus AoA without MCAS. Hmmmmm.....
Gums,
Why don’t you whisper that question in the ear of your elected congresscritter?
My belief is that it’s not a simple curve, but depends on some additional factors eg. thrust vs. airspeed, and extant stab setting, and has some really nasty hidden non-linearities FOR SOME PARAMETER VALUES.
In fact the pitchdown on nose down might be even more lethal than the pitch up on nose up.
