The cutoff switches stop the runaway, but MCAS could max out trim to the extent that it was literally physically impossible to correct manually without steeply descending to take aerodynamic load off the control surfaces. Doing this has obvious complications when it's only a few minutes after takeoff and the pilots are already struggling to maintain any altitude at all. |
