- throwaway201103 6y agoNo MCAS is not active with autopilot, because it's not needed. MCAS is there in manual flight to give the human pilot a specific "feel" to the control column forces at high angles of attack. Autopilot doesn't need that.
- dTal 6y agoOne wonders in that case why they didn't put the actuator on the control column, rather than the horizontal stabilizer.
