Re: Odd
There's a standard procedure for trim runaway - an already existing problem where the auto-trim system isn't working. And Boeing decided that MCAS failure should be treated in the same way. Which is to disable the the stabiliser trim motor - and do it by a manual wheel. The problem being that MCAS doesn't fail in the same way as trim runaway, so pilots weren't thinking that was the problem and responding in the way Boeing had hoped for.
