International Date Line Air Data Computer Bug
Date Line Bug
Something the Flight Testers missed.
Heartell that some very modern hardware was recently carrying some very modern software across the International Date Line from east to west. The software found itself to be incapable of resetting its date forwards through 24 hours and went belly up. Very embarrassing!
Are there any other known similar occurrences - say with INS sytems or whatever?
