Computer Crash At 30 Thousands Feet

[Tigger]

All aircraft critical systems on Boeing commericial aircraft have to be tested to DO-178B Level B at least, DOS isnt an OS qualifed to any level of DO-178B, so its not used in any flight systems at all.   At this point only 3 OS's are actually qualified to DO-178B, everything else is hand written OS's like we did on the C130J's we delivered to Australia and every single line of it is inspected one at a time.

During 1999 I was flying that premier league carrier "Air Britannia" to Reus in Spain when the screen displaying the map of Europe over which we were flying suddenly went blank...

I was then greeted by our old friend the Guru!  Even Amigas crash at 30,000 feet.

Toaster/Flyer in an A2000 (in fact it was one of those A2000s in my house at the moment) flew on the vomit comet, so it doesnt always fail at 30,000 ft.
