Nov 30, 2025
Noida (Uttar Pradesh), November 30, 2025 (ANI): On the Airbus A320 global software issue, Former Indian Air Force Pilot, Capt (Retd) Ehsan Khalid said, “There are two flight control computers in the control panel: ELAC 1 and ELAC 2. ELAC 2 is not performing well according to the new computers. Its function is to correctly convert the pilot's inputs, control the movement of the surfaces, and monitor faults in the flight control system. If any fault is found, it alerts the pilot so they can fly the plane in accordance with ELAC 1... The problem here is that the ELAC 2 system shows no warning of faults and the plane starts movements without the pilot's input.”
