Sorry Goose, I got a little carried away.

"ODDS". Hmm....Odds are hard to quantify, but I'll try. Here on thread there have been Bus drivers who claim to have Simmed this ride, and the reason I believe at least some of that is that a fair number admitted they couldn't recover. KNOWING what was happening. Air Caraibes had a potentially deadly zoom, uncommanded. Can you tell me from the evidence 447's climb was not at least partially commanded by the computer? You can't, simply because the evidence is not available. The g up was 1.65 in a 1 g command control, how's that? I know pilots who have experienced anomalous behaviour in this equipment: "It started to turn...we selected HDG/ALT and corrected, but no one could ever say why she behaved that way."

Mind of her OWN? By definition, my friend.

mind how you go.
