American officials and aviation experts said it was far-fetched to believe that a passenger could have reprogrammed the Flight Management System.
Unlikely? Sure. Far-fetched? Not as far-fetched as many other ideas that have been floated recently.
I recently bought a highly realistic 777 model for MS Flight Simulator X [1], and it has a very good replica Flight Management Computer. Also, when you purchase the software, it comes with thousands of pages of manuals for the real jet.
You can see the FMC being programmed inside the simulator here [2].
