Exactly, so why do you want to have an iPad control an airplane? Wouldn't it make sense to add this to the EFIS systems so that the code is held to the same standards as any other flight system?
The fact that a device can link directly to the plane's control system will lead to numerous, potentially deadly exploits.
- Groxx 16y agoSeems like the fact that a device can link directly to the plane's control system has lead to a potentially-very-useful development that wouldn't be possible otherwise. What danger is there in allowing things to connect? There's plenty of advantages, from making your own specialized sensor displays to making autopilot algorithms, but what's the disadvantage?
