Cockpit voice recorder of Lion Air jet depicts pilots' frantic search for fix
The thing I don&#x27;t understand about that MCAS system is why it would continue to drive the nose of the plane down even when the pilot is reefing on the stick to pull up. The cruise control in my car automatically disengages when I hit the brakes, it doesn&#x27;t continue to accelerate to keep the car going 60 while I am jamming on the brakes, in an emergency, I don&#x27;t have time to find the off switch. Similarly, I would think that in an emergency, it should automatically disengage if the pilot pulls hard on the stick, in an emergency, the pilot doesn&#x27;t have time to read the manual to find the off switch for the thing. It seems crazy to me that they wouldn&#x27;t have a safety override like that.
