Is software also written for self imolation?
=== Apols if this has been discussed and I haven't noticed ===
Is it known whether the co-pilot disengaged all auto systems and manually fly into the ground? On this a/c type, would it have been NECESSARY to do this?
If not, the software is pretty strange. It knows:
1. the descent rate setting
2. the airspeed indication
2. the position of the aircraft
3. the position of mountains
4. the height above the ground, QFE
The software knows that the prognosis is not good. Does it take no evasive action? Does it simply carry on regardless?
