I didn't word my question correctly. In the case where MCAS is malfunctioning in the manner it did in both crashes what is the effect of using the electric trim? Someone wrote that after two seconds it works to overpower the trimming of the MCAS and you would be able to trim the plane back out to level flight? But you have to hold it for two seconds while nothing is happening?
