Since he MCAS was there to alleviate longitudinal handling qualities I would have though some sort of note would have been incorporated in some check list to advise what a crew may face with respect to handling qualities upon failure. Some helicopters (S-76 and Blackhawk) had longitudinal handling qualities that didn't comply with FAR's and had what was called a pitch bias actuator (PBA) in order to satisfy the FAR. Experience on the line showed the PBA wasn't necessary and was removed.
