Except that runaway trim is a MEMORY checklist item.

Literally - they should have the procedure here memorized, and there are LOTS of cutout options, from temp right at fingertips to cutoff switches.

The fact that the FAA issued an emergency order with instructions after this crash suggests to me this wasn't sufficiently covered by existing procedure. In fact:

> The FAA's directive orders airlines within three days to update flight manuals to include specific steps pilots should take to recover.
