Is there a Mifnet Member that can offer us an explanation of how “Solar Flares” can interfere with the flight control computer and explain this problem? Mike Borfitz (and his partners) perhaps? And what is the remedy to the vulnerability?
What makes the vulnerability unique to the A320? My understanding of the solar flare is that this is a high energy pulse of electromagnetic radiation. Can’t this be handled with some type of shield? And why does this only manifest itself in pitch control equations?
