Noot much would get me on a plane these days—our kids all live within driving distance now and even in an emergency we could get there before a plane would.
I’ve been everywhere I want to go, so I’m lucky that way.

Ominous news if accurate, and we damn lucky that that Geek figured it out before Mohammad.
To: Jim Robinson
This has a bit more information. Ironically, I was reading it just before coming to FR and seeing this post at the top...

Roberts is the founder of One World Labs and he is widely viewed as an expert on counter threat cyber security. Somebody better hire them before the bad guys figure this out.

I call BS.
If you were designing an aircraft would you wire mission critical networks to a box in the passenger seat?
How long would that manufacturer remain in business?
We have many vulnerabilities, but I don’t believe this is one of them.

To: Jim Robinson
Don’t know if this is true, but if any airplane has the flight control system somehow physically connected to any electronics system used by passengers in the plane, that plane should be permanently grounded until fixed and the manufacturer seriously fined.

I do not believe him. I bet he watched the movie "Airplane" too many times.

This strikes me as highly improbable.
And if he was actually dicking with the flight controls of an airplane he was flying on, he’s profoundly moronic.

I have been a 737 Captain for a number of years. This is utter BS.
Additionally, if the pilots don’t like what the autopilot is doing, they can simply disconnect it and fly by hand.

He stated that he thereby caused one of the airplane engines to climb...
Oh, did he now?

Who is “Roberts”? I sure miss the 5W’s of journalism.
To: Jim Robinson
Absolute load of crap. I work on these systems, and there is no way he did what he claims.

Unless I misunderstand this story, it sounds like he admitted to a series of felony offenses that will tally up to a couple of decades in federal prison for something that would seem to have been pretty difficult to prove . . . absent his confession. I wonder why?

The person, who wrote this story probably converted crabbing/yawing to flying sideways.
Thanks for posting it.
