A question for you guys.

Suppose you were bimbling along quite happily at cruising altitude to wherever and you suddenly had an overspeed warning with an IAS of Mach 1.2.

Would you immediately react accordingly (switch off AP, pull back on power, pull up nose - or whatever you do) or would you say "Oh balls! The fricken computer's on the fritz again!".

I ask, because we have lots of monitoring equipment in the operating theater and it does, occasionally, start talking nonsense - one's first reaction is to look at the patient and if they are pink and well-perfused there can't be THAT much wrong. Then you start trouble-shooting the monitors.

Just asking....
