Your statement about trim adjustment switches is kinda right and kinda wrong.

Specifically in regard to the MCAS cut off, there were two options for MCAS cut off based on the type of MCAS option installed. One option is the switch on the console. The other is to hold the electric trim switch for a moment, which disengages the MCAS for four seconds. The pushing of the trim switch to disengage the MCAS can be repeated until the crew adjusts power, pitch and trim to create a stable flight condition.

Thanks, adds to my growing knowledge beyond the making sure that my tray is stowed and locked before landing.

That’s just unbelievable, and awful. Like someone in the youtube comments says, landing blind into the sun and no CTAF?

Pretty bad huh? He pushed the fireball of a plane all the way down the runway too, the Student Pilot in the 152 died and his instructor was in critical condition last I heard. The pilot of the T28 was 85 and Never saw anything nor was he broadcasting in the blind or listening to the radio because the 152 was!!

Here is the Video the Owner of the plane took as he was coming in to land.

That's not the POV in this video. It's from the ground....
