The TC e-mail plays into the nagging fears and basic distrust that we all have about software, even when carefully designed and thoroughly tested. Is it possible to comprehensively test the new MCAS software for “gotchas” to the point where independent expert opinion warrants it 100% safe? Before you reply, remember the UK NATS SW bug that lay dormant in the Swanwick ATC system for 20 years until activated by the unique set of conditions that caused the system to fail.
