Before MCAS started malfunctioning.

Autopilot was enabled for a short period after take-off, then disabled at 05:39:55 due to turbulence and never re-enabled.

If you look at the graph in Appendix 1/page 26 -- FDR Data you'll see that the first MCAS command occurred at 05:39:30. Once autopilot was disabled it remained disabled until impact.

The information you're quoting above is just included for informational reasons, it likely won't play a part in what caused this accident.
