I don't think the disagree alert would have helped. Pilots weren't trained on MCAS, so they wouldn't have thought "oh, the AoA sensors disagree, so I'd better switch to manual trim".
- sofixa 2y ago> Pilots weren't trained on MCAS And it wasn't referenced anywhere other than the glossary which explained what the abbreviation meant, so they had no chance.
- sokoloff 2y agoBoth MCAS crashes would have been avoided if the crew correctly executed the memory-item runaway stab trim checklist. (The second crew almost saved it by first correctly executing that checklist, then reversing that corrective action while trying to recover, after which point the flight was lost.) That’s what Boeing was counting on (and was terribly wrong in retrospect).
