I've read the EASA emergency airworthiness directive, it's only a software change.

  A software change that remedies solar radiation issues? Cool.

    Instead of 3 copies make 7 for majority vote?

      Best explanation I've seen (and claims to be from a published but not public report on it), is that their 3 way consensus didn't smooth over repeated wildly wrong outputs correctly. Concestency problem strikes again.

    Easy enough to imagine. Something improperly was judged to not need concencus, running the calculation twice, or some other software mitigation. Revise process to include mitigation.

      "just run the calculation twice. surely the darned solar radiation will take care not to hit random parts of the memory or any critical registers in the cpu"

        What experience do you have with firmware that you're basing all this on?

          It's okay to not be nationalistic all of the time. Airbus will survive this extreme edge case. None of these comments matter in the bigger picture.

            Based on your ad hominem of a reply I suppose it's safe to assume you don't have the experience, then
