I don’t know if I count as a pro automation chap but I don’t see what this contaminated fuel problem has to do with software. It has to do with the crew and how they think the aircraft should be operated.

People who think automation is about no flight crew in the front of an airliner have not read what is being suggested.

I am pro the flight parameters being accurately and reliably controlled by automatics that are fail safe so that the cockpit crew do not have to use skills they cannot easily maintain in today’s industry to deal with automatic failures of today’s aeroplanes where the aircraft is handed back to the crew.

Post 130 gives more details of my views.
