Re: Civil Aviation Development & Discussion
The above is a advisory and not mandatory because you may accidentally "bump" into one of the switches but not both which have independent controls. I am questioning why Boeing didn't make into an AD, i.e. directive which is mandatory. The problem seems top be serious enough to warrant a ...

So in 10 seconds they toggled back. Those 10 seconds duration was the critical period. Is it possible that there is race condition either in the software or the controller electronics that led to cycling and the auto start to happen? Going by the above, with high probability this is not a pilot error.
