Re 737 Driver's post.

Yes, but it's the initial unwanted command to the H-Stabilizer that I take issue with. Should all the protection fail again, and that jack-screw run its full distance, then those braided steel cables seemingly still won't save the day.

I've thought long and hard about fly by wire since 'flying' a model in a box at Farnborough in the 70's Given the sophistication of the electronics, I concede the probabilities make my worries all but groundless, but then there's a hefty lighting strike into the electrics bay scenario which would indeed put Boeing way ahead.
