The trim can be controlled by an electrical motor in the 737, and the MCAS system in question here controls that motor, so you could argue its part of a FBW system (but I guess normally you refer to the main flight surfaces which are not FBW in the 737 like you say).
- foldr 5y agoAh yes, that is a fair point. However, in that case we are not talking about 'adding' a new FBW control system, as the system was already in place on previous models.
