What if modern planes are so stretched when it comes to performance attributes that FBW is safer at this point? E.g., MCAS is a non-FBW hack to make max certifiable.
I didn’t realise that the Flydubai crash happened “in the last few months”,
and it was totally different circumstances (night / IMC / poor weather). And an 800,
not a MAX.
