Nope. (And arguably it shouldn't: a stall at low altitude is much worse than a stall at high altitude, because you lack recovery time. Most fatal stalls begin below 1000ft AGL, which is where this plane was. So your stall avoidance system shouldn't shutdown just because you're at low altitude: that's when you want to avoid stalls.)

MCAS doesn't work in most low altitude conditions as it is switched off when flaps are extended (the case both for departure and landing).

Would there be different change in altitude characteristics in a nose up vs nose down situation?
