To # be clear, the code was not flown on the aircraft's own systems and did not cause # the crash. This specific crash could have been avoided regardless of the # malware's existence. But the discovery of malicious code introduced into an # on-ground system operated by the airline's maintenance department does suggests # certain negative possibilities. One possible scenario is that the code slowed a # program which, if properly maintained, would have flagged the aircraft for # service and disallowed the takeoff because of a series of smaller problems # already noted with the plane. That's a lot of qualifiers. But the fact that the # system was infected and didn't flag the aircraft in this case closed one door on # an opportunity to save the flight. It also suggests the urgency of proper # computer maintenance throughout the entire airline system to assure safety of # flight. # > # > The Spanair jet reportedly had hosted two maintenance problems on the day # prior to the crash and then aborted a takeoff just prior to the fatal takeoff # run due to a faulty sensor. A maintenance tracking system used by the airline # could have issued an alert based on those three anomalies and prevented the next # takeoff attempt. But Spanish media reports say it took a full 24 hours for the # last anomaly to enter the system. It is possible that delay was caused in part # by the influence of bad code. No judgment should be passed until investigative # bodies publish their final report. What we do know is that after the aborted # takeoff, the crew taxied the aircraft for another attempt and attempted a second # takeoff while the aircraft's slats were improperly set. The crew didn't notice # the error and it seems no cockpit warnings sounded to make them aware. # > # # # # ------------------------------------ Aviatia.ro - Un vis real! -|- http://www.aviatia.ro/ \_____(===)_____/ TOTI PENTRU UNUL SI UNUL PENTRU TOTI ! 0 ! ! 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cea mai competenta sursa independenta de informare in aviatie din Romania! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publicare mesaj : aviatia@yahoogroups.com Inscriere pe lista : aviatia-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Stergere de pe lista: aviatia-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.comYahoo!
