Beat me to it. Flaps greater than zero kills the system.

When we did our Max requal ride, I messed up the sim because when the runaway scenario was to start I had the flaps at 1 still and pulled back the power to level off. We sat there a second while the instructor tried to figure out why it wasn’t trying to kill us….until I realized we were level at whatever (maybe 2000’) in stabilized flight at flaps 1.

We did it again of course and were able to fully control the aircraft. That being said, it was the “corrected” system.

But still, a right seat guy that got nearly all of his hours within the previous year or whatever instantly became a non-flying observer when the sh1t hit the fan. Let’s agree on that.
