Last time looked the link wasn’t there.
For those that are wondering I have personally experienced an “ Airspeed Unreliable” event in flight.
After the initial “what the f#ck “ moment the NNC worked just fine.
It will NOT work if you leave the autothrottle engaged.
My understanding is that MCAS was certified on the basis that the existing checklists and procedures would be carried out by a properly trained crew and would mitigate any risk.
Clearly they were wrong.
