Snoop ACARS TEAM / AIRBUS WORKED AS DESIGNED : 2 "solutions"

@Lonewolf50
Thank you for the colored and interactive ACARS display.
AF knew exactly as soon as the june 1. 2009 early morning, in REAL TIME! what had happened.

The engineers team who concepted the ACARS system was/is really EXCELLENT. Much much better than the team who built the control system. Informative, reliable, working as designed, simple, cheap, always well accepted by the pilot, etc. (all the qualities!) This team should redesign and correct the FCS for AIRBUS with all the dangerous garbage addenda. (please no graceful degradation only direct informations).
AIRBUS thought the mekanik function of the Flying Mekanik - the 3. Man in the cockpit for the 4. function (aviate,navigate,communicate, MEKANIK) - could be replaced by automation. He should have made the UAS reliable and rapid diagnostic for pilots' decision. HE WAS MISSING in that system.

I can remember the AIRBUS lecture in february 1988 (4 months before Habsheim) to AFCET (association francaise de cybernetique economique et technique, workteam "securite des systemes informatiques") i was belonging to -Paris 15 place St Quentin (CNES) . Issue was "The airbus is the only aircraft IN THE WORLD That may be piloted by fools".
