Agreed and thank you.
Thereās a lot of training going on now to help address some of the confusion that these kind of failures can produce. Kinda getting pilots to analyze the situation outside of the indications.
The Ethiopian crew had initial stall indications with the stick shaker and associated warnings, but the plane was accelerating and climbing and showing no signs of a buffet. So thereās a whole slew of indications, sounds and feels flying them in to it not being a stall. Which they figured out. They even ran the correct emergency procedure, but never connected it to the MCAS issue, and flat forgot their power setting.
I just finished my expanded envelope training where we hand flew the plane almost exclusively in the sim with all sorts of airspeed failures, unexpected stall conditions and recovery from really unusual attitudes. Like 45 degrees nose down and 120 degrees of bank while recovering without over-stressing the plane. Fantastic training, that really gets the thinking cap to working.
