NTSB apparently need better employees for making such a recommendation... (ie: it is not ok for 1/2 of the pilots to not be 100% in control of their plane)

- inimino 7y ago100% control of any complex system does not and can not exist.
- OrgNet 7y agowell, at least they could try. but yeah I know that most software sucks and can't be predicted 100%
- inimino 7y agoThey do try. Avionics is miles ahead of everyday commercial stuff like your desktop computer in reliability and correctness. This is not just about software, a plane is a complex physical system and the idea of absolute control is a fantasy. This is why you need alternatives, failsafes, contingency plans, and training in dealing with unexpected failure modes.

- inimino 7y agoEmbedded systems aren't using your everyday desktop operating systems, if that's what your asking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avionics_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avionics_software > Avionics software is embedded software with legally mandated safety and reliability concerns used in avionics. The main difference between avionic software and conventional embedded software is that the development process is required by law and is optimized for safety.
