The reason I worry about the non-avionics safety issues is because a few weeks ago, I was pulled from a flight because "the computer said it was overweight." I overheard the pilot on the next flight tell the gate agent something to the effect, "That's odd. The computer says we're good to fly with this load." That flight had even more people for the same size plane. There is apparently a calculation that takes into effect temperature and other factors. Then, of course, there are the ATC systems, radar, etc.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />RandyRandy Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967655042475308182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24100580.post-26565354009705223152013-09-20T02:44:32.868-05:002013-09-20T02:44:32.868-05:00I would really like to hear the result of the root...I would really like to hear the result of the root cause analysis on this one. I would be interested to know whether it was testing or configuration management at fault. If it was testing, was the problem due to cut-backs in testing budgets. <br />In my experience configuration management can cause a lot of unexpected problems in production, so I always try to get the configuration management team to simulate the production deployment into a test environment and test on that.<br />I hope we do not have to be worried about cross-over from ticket sales to aircraft systems. The testing of the aircraft subsystems is taken care of by Boeing or Airbus and their sub-contractors who have to fulfil the relevant industry standards for safety critical systems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976893306775206669noreply@blogger.com
