That's true, I shouldn't be using the term "stick pusher" as we don't know what it does at this point. The NG's STS system just uses the autopilot to move the stab trim at a slower rate than the switches on the yoke. Is the new system just some variant of that? Does it move the trim wheel more quickly? Can it be disabled using the stabilizer trim cutout switches?
