> ITT: software people think they're experts in airworthiness and aircraft maintenance. You mean working with safety critical systems with hardware software co design and human interaction through complex processes? Yes last i checked we do have a bunch of safety focused computer engineers who do that for a living. That you think this is a matter of simple engineering might be the problem here. "Just maintenance/installation" is a legit error case somebody should have planed for and you thinking in terms of conspiracies has me rather worried. edit: I wouldnt assume i could tell when a design is airworthy, maybe reconsider if you are qualified to make general statements about safe operations. The two are very much not the same.
