Facts before Emotion Please!
As an ex 747 and A330 pilot and now an A380 pilot, I am interested in this forum, but wish it was limited to inputs from professionals.
If there is a moderator for this forum, please exclude FlyBoy737800. His input is uninformed and a waste of our reading time.
It is clear Northrop Grumman has issues with their ADIRUs. No problems - computers fail - that's why there are three of them.
It is clear the 777 and A330 had logic problems eliminating faulty ADIRU inputs from the active system logic. This logic can and will be fixed. The longest incident on the Perth A330 incident occurred (in software) for a period of 0.5 seconds during which the software logic was inadequate given the conditions. No-one was killed in either of these 777 or A330 incidents. Only two A330 hulls have been lost with passengers on board, the recent AF flight and one that ran off a runway (no deaths).
It is also clear (when you look at the %hull losses and fatalities per fleet), that the 777 is one of the safest (0.1% hulls lost) large commercial aircraft in the sky and that the entire Airbus FBW hull loss rate of 0.4%, 1/6th of the same for all Boeing acft certified since 1960.
If you want more stats, then Boeing FBW aircraft are 18 times safer (hull losses) than their post 1960 non FBW versions. The Airbus FBW aircraft are 9 times safer than their non FBW versions. By the way, this does not imply the Airbus are less safe than the Boeing, rather that the Boeing non FBW fleets had a high hull loss rate (in comparison).
These are the facts.
FBW designs may not be perfect, but they are proven to be an order of magnitude safer than their non FBW alternatives. All problems that have been identified are being fixed.
All Airbus and Boeing FBW aircraft are remarkably safe.
