And this was thoroughly debunked, so...
Reference?
... it was "Debunked" by whom? To my granted limited understanding, the issue was presented in simulation. That the issue was demonstrated in a model, does not put to rest the question of possibility/probability of an occurrence in the real world.
Pop the auto-pilot circuit breaker, trim it out, your just fine.
Thanks Klemons. This is why we have humans in the cockpit. We know every gadget we have ever invented has crapped out, is capable of crapping out, or at least once has done something totally unexpected to us. As long as my flight crew are alive and awake I will feel safe.
The risk of this happening is next to impossible. The cost the FAA mandating a complete avionics upgrade to all airliners would make my plane fare skyrocket. Let me fly cheap and I will accept the risks.
Hollywood should pick up on this and create new horror movie, "Geeks on a Plane"

What next???? These "Hacks" don't need a reason to do what they do! It just puts "Aviation" and "Lives" in jeopardy...in so many ways. They don't give a (rats ass)!!!!
