The FAA approved the use of the iPads to replace the 35 pound flight bags -- 'way back in 2012.
Eliminating 75 lbs on every flight has saved beaucoup fuel since then.
So, American Airlines supplied bad data to their crews this one time. It was caught and corrected.
None of the above has ANYTHING to do with Apple, which you. evidently, love to trash...
After the entire American Airlines 737 fleet (according to the news sources) was affected by the glitch. A.K.A a single point of failure.
"None of the above has ANYTHING to do with Apple, which you. evidently, love to trash..."
Who designed the App system that allows updates to be performed that can glitch and shut down an entire fleet of planes? Yeah that was Apple.
BTW the same thing can happen with any other tablet approved for use as an E-flight manual. So the system needs changed so it won't happen again AND if you had read upthread I pointed out the solution but apparently its more important to try and cast blame on everyone BUT Apple. Which is always good for laugh.
