Airbus A320 Fly by wire corrupted by radiation in flight

Caused uncommanded pitch down, could exceed structural integrity of aircraft. There are redundant units - unknown why this can happen given redundancy.
mertd•13m ago
Also not very clear how they attributed the failure to solar radiation.

Presumably the same affected units are part of the redundancy package. The article essentially says as much.

Emergency Airworthiness Directive 2025-0268-E: https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2025-0268-E

https://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/EASA_AD_2025_0268_E.pdf/EAD_2...

This was the incident that triggered the investigation:

According to the airworthiness directive:

  Affected ELAC: Elevator aileron computer (ELAC) ELAC B L104

  Serviceable ELAC: ELAC B L103+
So it's a regression that affects decades old aircraft. Of course Airbus is now also meddling with "AI":

Obviously there no direct connection here, but it seems that destabilizing perfectly working aircraft could be the product of a culture shift.

So the patch will be physical, I imagine.

The title sounds like speculative clickbait.

From https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2025-11-ai...:

  Analysis of a recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.
This is different from the core claim that the incident was caused by radiation. What are the prior probabilities that the system was exposed to "intense radiation"? Vs some other mundane cause such as a faulty wire or mechanical issues? And what is the evidence supporting the former hypothesis?
kevin_thibedeau•1m ago
> What are the prior probabilities

100% for electronics operating at altitude. Also on the ground, but we mostly act like it doesn't happen and are usually ignorant of the root cause when it does.
