...no country has the right to mess on the matters of another independent sovereign country.

Good news everyone! Apparently Trump has decided that the USA does have that right.

If anyone's interested, one knowledgeable person's (lengthy) thoughts on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9QSeAI22I

Footnote: Nor would pilots (even though they are stupid) follow a corrupted ILS signal straight into the ground.

Um... I seem to remember a case of some pilots following a corrupted airspeed signal straight into the ocean...

"What's it doing now?"

"Oh... cool!"

Kidding aside, it seems there are a lot of cases these days when it's not clear whether computers/automation make our lives better or worse. In the case of this system, I think the answer is pretty clear:

The airplane was registered to NASCAR driver Greg Biffle.

Do it yourselfer and not quite up to harder IMC in fast airplanes?

I wish I could remember where, but I saw somewhere that he did not fly the plane - he had hired pilots for that.

..and make sure they're properly secured, so they do not fall off and shut off our engines.

I have an infatuation with turboprop sounds. They can be unique. I wish I could have experienced what flyboy describes.

Very unique, in the case of the Piaggio Avanti that was based near where I used to live. Also loud... but in a good way.

As an IT professional, I can verify that what that person did wrong was go flying.

"If something has happened in your life that made you sad, call 1-800-WEE-SUEM and you can get free money!" :roll: Edited to add: though I'm not a big fan (pun intended) of everyone suing everyone else for everything, I do think it's reasonable that when flying on an aeroplanie, one should...

Interesting path it took

Point taken and I agree... but on the other hand, you could fill a book with a list of Total Air Disasters that started with small cracks.

...airspeeds to become unreliable...

Was that an African A350 or a European one?

...NAIADS system.

Is that anything like a NAIR system?

...not-great landing results.
