Such a design would seem to negate the procedure for a runaway stabilizer if due to MCAS fault. All the schematics I've seen for NG/MAX trim show that the cutout switches completely disable the electric trim system, which is the system used by MCAS, STS, and autopilot to move the stabilizer. In other words, with the switches in cutout, the only method to move the stabilizer is with the manual trim wheels. Is this not correct?
