ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
Staff Note: Thread Re-Opened. Lets keep in on topic about the crash itself, I have moved the cockpit door posts to their own thread as it was getting off topic. You can find that thread here.
Lets keep it civil as well please.
and this is a problem, often flight attendants don't go through the same level of screening process as a pilot. So, if you want to take over a plane you can start work as an FA. It hasn't happened yet but it might and this is the problem, for every solution there are several issues that come up.
Whilst this story develops, I just want to post this here:

No, it won't be. It'll trip out the computers and even then the plane should go to direct law.
The airbus flight deck has a guarded switch that when pushed will terminate FBW totally and once pushed this cannot be reset except when back on the ground.
That's a bit worrying!
Did they just shut down a computer or switch the plane to direct law? I'd be interested to read the full incident report on this one.
I've not done much with this in the past two years but this shows what I set up for ISA -> http://isa.gdwnet.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=93&Itemid=79
