So - on that basis, the systems designer faces a dilemma. Do they add an autotrim limit or warning based on the current status of the aircraft? Would doing so run the risk of making things worse? Is it worth taking that risk on the basis of a single incident where the control inputs made by the PIC were woefully inappropriate?
This can be interpreted from another point of view ...
If this amendment would have existed before the accident .. the accident would perhaps not have the same end
Exactly as for pitot .. if they had been replaced by .. lots had the accident less likely to occur
