Hi,
I have a question regarding the tragic crash of the latest 737 Max.
Is it not a huge error in the flight laws and the MCAS software to execute a nose down maneuver at any altitude? Should the system not have a rule to prohibit such a maneuver below a minimum altitude threshold?
I'm also confused as to how this MCAS system and other autopilot software is implemented. Is it not the case that all planes with such computer automation functionality are equipped with a clear standardized master switch to turn off ALL computer control? This seems mission critical to me.
