In a dual flameout MCAS would be disabled, as its only needed to accommodate thrust changes from the engines.

- chupa-chups 7y agoAre you sure? MCAS depends on AoA + static pressure + IAS to my knowledge (https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/61286/what-type-of-sensors-does-the-boeing-737-max-use-for-mcas https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/61286/what-type...). If you are sure it'd be nice to support this with a source. Also, the thrust change nose-up moment is not much different to a 737 classic or 737 NG; MCAS is required due to the lifting moment of the engines, which are in front of the center of gravity (thus pulling the nose up when in a positive AoA situation).
