So, did it crash because the system allowed most if not all data to the pilots to be false in this situation?
Is it a good thing that when you want to input a control movement you are in essence asking a computer permission, and if permission is granted it may or may not be exactly what you thought you wanted. (For you and your passengers own good of course)
Is our own training lacking in some way? Are we getting away from the basics and if we are is it a step in the right direction?
The "failures" that are distilled from the ACARS messages have been explained a long time ago: systems report OWN failures, but also failures FROM OTHER SYSTEMS, with whom they communicate. Because of that setup, you may encounter the system identifiers IR1, IR2 and IR3 in situations where,e.g. the Air Data units are faulty.
Is the system overall so complicated that a mere human cannot fully comprehend all of the scenarios thrown his way and if so what are we doing in the cockpit anyway? We are safety pilots for what?
Are we so far ahead of the game that we have lapped ourselves and now behind again?
Hi,
Can I suggest that if all participants in this theater were all together in the cockpit of the 447 the night of the event .. the end of the flight would be the same (splash)
I would like to think that this very moment those pilots are satisfied that they know they did everything correctly and to the extent of their abilities and it was the system that let them down.
