Here's an article with more info on the Airbus ELAC (Elevator Aileron Computer), of which there are two for redundancy (but they do different things? Maybe not so redundant.). aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/elacs-e...

Teledyne Controls (my employer) is one supplier of data loaders to install updates.
Airbus A320 ELACs explained: The software that almost grounded the fleet
The ELACs form a crucial part of the fly-by-wire system, however recent issues have shown a vulnerability to radiation requiring a fix.

The USDOT says delays/cancels caused by the Airbus ELAC Emergency AD should not be considered within airline control because they involved "unscheduled maintenance...that cannot be deferred or must be addressed before flight..."

Airbus says fewer than 100 remaining aircraft need ELAC updates out of 6,000 potentially affected A320 family aircraft. www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/...

"This is limited to ELAC B standard L104.
All previous ELAC B software standards as well as all ELAC E software standards are not affected."

Seems aircraft with the *older* software version still installed are in better shape here. 🤔🤯

Are AA’s aircraft already updated, or were they never updated to the problematic software in the first place?

The cause turned out to be a problematic software update that led to a failure in the flight control computer (ELAC). In the worst-case scenario, this could push the aircraft beyond its structural limits.

My new ELAC speakers are taking an agonizing amount of time (a whole week) to get here, and my brain keeps rearranging the room like I'm planning a nursery for a child and it's making me feel just a little bit crazy.

I consider this fully confirmed at this point. ELAC , software update needed.

Should take a couple hours for each plane, will take longer on some than others. Plan with FAA being worked on now.

"Airbus grounding at AA incoming"

Dunno details, dunno scope, dunno accuracy

The Airbus A320 issue comes from an "uncommanded and limited pitch down event" which sounds a lot like that JetBlue flight from Cancun a few weeks ago that diverted.

Là ma compréhension des documents que j'ai lus est que certains ont un ELAC où l'on peut uploader du logiciel sans le démonter, tandis que d'autres ont un modèle plus ancien qu'il faut l'échanger et renvoyer l'autre pour reprogrammation en atelier (ou quelque chose comme cela).

Seeing some airbuses already out of service. Looking like they’re scheduled for 5 hours out of service for the update. So far only see two out for “ELAC SW UPDATE”

Juu, mutta useimmissa koneissa ilmeisesti ihan vaan laitetaan vanha softa ja parissa tunnissa taas lennetään.

Jos oikein ymmärsin, vanha softa = vähän vähemmän turvaominaisuuksia lentäjän apuna.

(Googleen ELAC B L103+ L104, jos kiinnostelee.)

“Day of the Dead started to emerge in popular culture in the 1970s during the Chicano movement and one artist who was critical in that transformation was Ofelia Esparza.”

New Ofelia Esparza exhibit opened at the Vincent Price Art Gallery at ELAC in Monterey Park (til 4/26)

I see Andrew Jones I upvote, as it were. I know he was at KEF and Elac, too. Those MoFi designs look great!

Alas, got a mortgage and fam first.

いっそのことELAC Debut ConneX DCB41にするのもありかもしれません
ARCもあってフォノイコライザーも搭載ですし

Thalia dizendo, mas sem nomes, q Ramalho foi elogiado pela alta crítica (Matheus) só pq ele foi bem hoje... Mal sabe ela que Matheus SEMPRE falou bem do Ramalho. Disse que amanha quando ele voltar grandao da batalha ele vai ser recebido com champanhe. Eles zoam assim pq acham que Matheus é riquinho.

Awaria oprogramowania ELAC B w Airbus A320 spowodowana promieniowaniem kosmicznym wywołała niekontrolowane manewry. Airbus przeprowadził rollback do wersji L103+ po pilnej dyrektywie EASA, zapewniając bezpieczeństwo lotów.

ELAC* would be my choice for her. She might meet a nice Chicano boy.

Wat is het toppunt van geduld?

Al 2 jaar wachten op een nieuwe rolstoel.
Een gemeente hebben die gewoon de telefoon erop legt als je ze wijst op de zaaknummers, de verslagen ervan, bewijs hebt dat die is toegewezen na meerdere passingen.
