Airbus planes get a software fix, ending a manual flight warning
What happened
US aviation regulators are proposing to update a rule for certain Airbus Canada airplanes. This change would replace a manual warning in the flight manual with a software update.
Why it matters
Pilots currently have to remember a specific warning and limitation for these planes. The new software will handle the issue automatically. This means one less thing for pilots to manually track during flight.
The signal
Watch for the final rule to be published and how quickly the software update is deployed across the affected fleet.
