Thrust also varies as a square of speed?!

Acceleration is "metres per second squared"

I think I see where you may be trying to come from... thrust and drag are balancing out, increasing...

A reduced speed by having a lower thrust setting to begin with, yes more controllable.

Reducing thrust from a higher thrust setting incurs a nose down moment. Basic stuff.

We're possibly...

Any reduction in power would have created a significant AND moment. The longitudinal acceleration was positive throughout- right up until the final MCAS AND. (0.1g at end equivilant to...

I understand where you are coming from. I, too, was appalled at the attitude of some on here- stating the pilots must have been wrong based on where they came from. I also hypothesised a very similar...

I agree with you on the sensor problem, but entirely disagree with the perception that a failure of the system would have minimal risk to the aircraft.

In the scenario given, hundreds of feet...

Can you provide a response to 1174 that would rule out that scenario?

I know there's little evidence at this stage for this tragedy, but to elaborate and hypothesise about MCAS function:

The irony of some flights not being allowed into the airspace:

The minute they call a mayday they'll be given assistance and allowed in!

So, when it seems to be functioning fine they're told...

It is shocking how this system was introduced- only being documented and publicised following the death of 189 people.

I can see the logic as to why they'd build it in- if it was 100% operational...

Also be useful to know which data is correct. The data publicised so far is ADS-B, so if it is an onboard sensor problem causing bad data to flight control, then surely some of the FR data is bad too?

Possibly off topic, but, why would brand new aircraft sensors and indicators fail within months? The software, MCAS, is reliant on good data, if the data was always good then there wouldn't be a...
