I disagree. It appears it occurred to someone (the jump seat pilot) pretty quickly that it was a runaway. They got pitch under control and hit the cutouts. My guess is they re-enabled stab trim in a...

As has been pointed out many times in the two main threads discussing the 737 MAX crashes, the LT610 PF counteracted uncommanded (MCAS) nose-down trim on 21 separate occasions, yet for whatever...

Generally sensible post, however, it is absolutely reasonable to ask whether pilot skill / training was a factor.

Thanks Gordon. Any help on the transfer of control from PF to FO at the time the aircraft attitude starts to go south ?

That's fair. I'll chase up a reference. Regardless, your characterisation of the FDR (that pilot-trim-up was involved in a losing tug-of-war with MCAS-trim-down) is incorrect. It is only the final 4...

I think it is generally accepted that full nose-down stabilizer position at high airspeed, low altitude may be unrecoverable via the manual trim wheel.

You might have to explain that further. The LionAir crash FDR clearly shows short bursts of uncommanded nose-down trim (from MCAS), each one counteracted by PF-commanded nose-up electric trim,...

It's a reasonable point. However, after the LionAir investigation, everyone knew the electric trim could be used to neutralize MCAS, even if temporarily (as the accident crew had done 20-odd times on...

I will wait for the official report. MCAS is clearly an unintuitive and potentially lethal system when triggered by faulty AoA data. I'm not going to blame Boeing, the FAA, the pilots or airlines...

The article doesn't seem to know what it's talking about. MCAS is (temporarily) disabled by pilot use of the electric trim. There's no two steps down, one step up scenario at play here, where MCAS...

Although it may well turn out to be the case, it is still an assumption that a malfunctioning AoA vane induced MCAS-trim-response is involved in both incidents.

You are likely correct about Lion, but it is yet to be confirmed. There were flight control issues on that aircraft prior to the ineffective (unwarranted?) replacement of the AoA vane.

The pilots on lion 610 were in regular contact with ATC and as late as 20 seconds before impact with the ocean they indicated their preferred flight level. This suggests they were not under duress in...

Pilot error ?

The previous crew counteracted MCAS for a while before activating the CUTOUT, in accordance with the runaway stabiliser procedure. The accident crew were also counteracting MCAS for six minutes but...

If MCAS is a key contributor to this crash, how does it fit with the fr24 data for the flight ?

For MCAS to be implicated, the pilots have disengaged AP or it has disengaged itself, right ? When...
