I can only repeat what I have stated before.

The available redundancy should not be used for commercial reasons.

The simple fact that these failures are very rare, means that it’s commercial impact is very low anyway and reinforces the argument.

I am sure that if you ask any CAA if the redundancy is there for commercial reasons they would say no, they would have no other choice.


There is no reason to start a technical discussion since the aforementioned principle makes it obsolete.

The FAA did what they had to do and as far as other CAA is concerned, they are controlled by politics so their opinion does not matter.

I could go flying half pissed but if nothing happens then I did nothing wrong seems to be the reasoning by those who get away with it. This is not good enough.
