Airbus had similar issues a while back. The software was forcing the nose of the plane down and the pilots had to fight with it to bring the plane out of a dive.
Is it absolutely necessary for the computer to be adjusting the angle of attack?

- dingaling 8y agoIssues? "The occurrence was the only known example where this design limitation led to a pitch-down command in over 28 million flight hours on A330/A340 aircraft" The common-platform A330/40 had been in service for 15 years before this event. It really was a freak failure of one computer unit which went haywire and which led to a design change to mitigate it. That was 11 years ago. It is deceptive to claim it's anything like the 737 Max issue.
