content: Not surprising it is often the case that the electronics have bugs early on with military aircraft civil one for that matter not so long ago that boing had problems with self crashing planes. The panavia tornado had a concrete block instead of radar for a while when the RAF first took delivery, the joke amongst the airmen of the time was something about ramming the enemy.

content: Airbus had one aircraft land a few months ago, where the weight on wheels switch plus a fault in the communications cycle between the CPUs tripped a crash of ALL THREE flight computers that disabled reverse thrust, failed to deploy the spoilers and reverted to manual braking as well as causing some other interesting systems effects. By the time that the pilots determined "Otto" was having a bad day, manual braking stopped them just before going into the overrun on a very short runway.. Applying full brake on an airliner at the last minuteCan have interesting effects including tire fires, brake disk fires, tire deflation due to fusible plugs etc.https://www.ttsb.gov.tw/media/4913/ci202_executive-summary_release.pdfSteve

content: Thumbs up for the pilot for doing the landing safely, and not just bailing out.Stuff up happens with military aircraft, hobby aircraft and commercial aircraft all the time. It doesn't have to be anyone's fault, it just happens.

content: Yes thumbs up for the pilot, sure thing.Otherwise, if I get it right, nothing to see here? It just happens. Fair enough, I guess.
