- cdelsolar 3y agoI flew in one a few months ago and was really pissed off that I didn’t know about it ahead of time. I thought when they announced the plane we were on that it was a bad joke (flight had already been delayed many hours). Luckily nothing bad happened but I had to quickly google how they resolved the issue.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt got more than that, some more redundant sensors, pilot training specific to the plane, and an option to override the system.
- chipsa 3y agoThey always had the option to over-ride the system: turn off the electric trim, same as for runaway trim (which the failure much resembled).
