Quoting Sebaska:-
"FBW aircraft is significantly less the number of earlier crashes caused by pilot error."
Apologies, Seb, can't resist quoting a BBC radio witticism that I heard many years ago. A 'voice' supposedly coming on to the airliner's PA and telling the passengers that they were flying on the world's very first fully-automated passenger flight. That there were no pilots up front, that the only airline personnel on board were the cabin crew.
I recall that the radio sketch ended with the guy saying,
"Please do not be alarmed. All the systems involved have been exhaustively tested over many years of development - and we can give you all a positive guarantee that nothing can possibly go wrong.......go wrong.....go wrong.....go wrong........"
