No doubt this post will result in me being accused (again) of being Anti-French or a luddite but I still believe that Airbus (and now Boeing) FBW will continue to throw up surprises for decades to come, possibly even more so as the hardware gets older and falls into less experienced hands.
It has to be faced that since it's introduction many Airbus
accidents/incidents have resulted in accusations of slightly "clandenstine" conclusions / investigations. Having said that the Concorde accident could be accused of the same lack of emphasis on certain factors,draw your own conclusions
Time to face reality. Of course there will be surprises. The intent is that they will be relatively few over the lifetime of the product.
And as for "clandenstine" conclusions, one should not lose sight of the fact that most accident investigations are contributed to by a party system representing what some may call competing commercial interests albeit with well qualified technical expertise in establishing facts.
It is the analysis of the facts afterwards that the casual arm-chair orbserver typically tries to second guess.
At this point in the investigation we are trying to read among this hash for bonafide facts not Nostradamas predictions
