If there is a lock out of MCAS, and on the subsequent maneuver in period of said time, the handling characteristics materially change, isn't that a tecnically new type? If that's the case, then MCAS isn't really needed at all I suppose. IMO, the FAA might, but other regulatory bodies will probably not be satisfied with this fix.
