From an email from the author of the SeattleTimes article, Dominic Gates: The description of MCAS provided by Boeing for regulators (FAA and foreign) during certification, is this: MCAS “was added to address potential nose-up pitching moment at high angles of attack at high airspeeds outside the normal flight envelope ” Elsewhere in the documents, it’s made clear that MCAS was expected

The discussion centers on concerns regarding the Boeing 737 Max's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) and its potential flaws, particularly its ability to execute a nose-down maneuver at any altitude Participants express confusion over the system's operation, noting that MCAS is designed to assist pilots by adjusting trim rather than overriding their control There are

Boeing CEO Muilenburg responds that they (Boeing) asked themselves the same question, and if they knew then what the know now, they "would have made a different decision" But Boeing did know about the AOA faults and concerns about MCAS as internal documents revealed Apparently, Muilenburg was ill-informed, or in denial, or both

MCAS “was added to address potential nose-up pitching moment at high angles of attack at high airspeeds outside the normal flight envelope ” Elsewhere in the documents, it’s made clear that MCAS was expected to kick in when a MAX approached a “wind-up turn,” which is essentially a banked downward spiral

MCAS is qualified differently at different times by Boeing themselves and their motives for it's implementation are complex, not just certification Also, I've heard an airliner pilot on youtube describe the MCAS as a type of stall prevention system

Cross-connections between strings introduce mutual dependencies and new kinds of common mode failures Boeing's design can be criticized, but it is unfair to characterize is as lack of redundancy If a flight-critical system is given full authority, there should be cross-comparisons of the sensors and logic for a discrepancy
