That is an interesting conclusion, given that you have clearly learned alot that day, including your reaction to an unknown situation*.

By the time you sit an a 737 simulator, you should have been exposed to theory behind this simple to understand failure multiple times. Either you were not, or you did not remember it.


*I wonder how you, or any other pilot on this forum, would react to a mcas activation simulation before lion air crash... because, a rational pilot should have prevented that, right
