Victor Lemmi,

A post-script to my earlier comments......

I'm not familiar with the B767, but on some earlier Boeing aircraft which I've operated (e.g. B727) the stab brake prevented any further stabilizer activity if the pilot applied opposite elevator force to the stabilizer movement. Once contained in this way, the pilot could then operate the Stabilizer Cut-Out in a more leisurely manner.

IF this is so for the B767 it may explain why operation of the Cut-Out switches is not a recall item.
