Hard to argue with you on this one. When the software on the portable computer becomes essential to the operation of the aircraft, then I would say it becomes pretty important to get it right. -
A while back I pointed out that administrative software weaknesses (house of cards) are a hazard to aviation safety and, of course, everyone waved that off. Now what have we here? A problem with the EFB updated system. What did it lead to? The wrong reference speeds, an overspeed situation, a workload situation leading to pilot errors and potential for disaster. All because of a ground-based software issue. But do the CAA's regulate these things? If not, they will continue to be a jittery patchwork of third party ephemera.Originally posted by Schwartz View Posthttps://avherald.com/h?article=4d3baf19&opt=0
Seems like this crew got disoriented in the dark and nearly crashed the plane on go-around (i.e. thoughts of Kobe's pilot).
In this one, we have technology problems, faulty manual calculations, and then a pilot who reduces thrust to reduce airspeed? Sigh.
Couple more airlines for your blacklist Evan.
PS: You can probably add Laudamotion as well since they keep flying a lemon that keeps breaking: https://avherald.com/h?article=4d3bb507&opt=0Leave a comment:
