[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 3998000, member: 12508"] I'm going to add that the Ethiopian crew probably didn't know the proper procedure either, although that is just conjecture. "Runaway trim" is something every competent airline pilot instantly knows how to handle, just like an engine out, or a decompression. It would be swiftly and properly handled. The failure of an MCAS sensor would result in essentially a Runaway Trim scenario. Also, the claim that the MCAS sensor was replaced seems suspect. After having been around planes for a very long time, I know these aren't probably in the spare parts area of most of the smaller airlines, especially on a new model. This would be a common simulator training situation, except the additional training on MCAS was apparently a 56 minute iPad session. Even so, a competent crew would know what to do, and not be flipping through a manual looking for answers they should already know. I think you're going to see pilot error as the main cause, with inadequate training on a new system as a major contributing factor. Just guessing, but things are starting to add -up. [/QUOTE]
