“SO what’s right????? PLease, enlighten all of us with your brilliance.”

The MCAS was installed to over-ride pilot inputs when the pilot is pulling too many G’s in a hard turn to prevent the plane from stalling.

It was designed to never actuate unless the pilot put the plane outside it’s normal envelope.

Failure of the sensor causes the same actions and recovery as a runaway trim fault.
