It is highly probable that the original MCAS design would not have resulted in the upset accidents. It was when the MCAS power was dramatically increased that it became really dangerous. This increase in the power of MCAS was the result of the failure of the original system to allow the airplane to meet certification standards. From what I can see the new MCAS light configuration has even less effect on the flying characteristics than the original lower powered version. So if that version could not meet the certification standards then one even less powerful obviously will not. So how has Boeing and the FAA got around this conundrum ? What am I missing here ?
