I see. Except the App runs on an Apple which is built to have Apps update when the App manufacturer decides to do one without any approval or oversight from the FAA. So yeah Apple's design and App system grounded several dozen flights because of a glitch. Sorry but thems the facts AND it would be no different if it was anyone else's system besides Apple like a Surface for instance.
Its a Consumer good that has been approved for the role of flight manual in a Government controlled system OK yeah good show and all that BUT the APP can be updated AND/or the unit itself can be updated without FAA approval and as such the system can get FUBARed and ground planes because of FAA rules.
If it can happen once it can happen twice. And don't give me this "it isn't Apple" crap they have had system wide FUBARs before the most memorable was Apple Maps which was so bad they fired the guy in charge.
Now as I stated very far upthread the answer is very simple either new rules that stop the updates of apps and the OS on the Units used in plans until the FAA approves them or carry a backup of some sort so that planes don't get grounded from a single point of failure.
Anyone with an IQ in the double digits can see that as the system stands now many more planes can be grounded and disrupt flights en masse with how it is now.
Bottom line iPads glitched and planes were grounded and unless those planes were all empty then literally thousands of passengers were affected. The system needs changed to stop it from happening again.
It’s the same company that makes the same kind of software for laptops and other devices ... to take on planes.
When you have a laptop and the software company screws up the software, you don’t blame the laptop ... LOL ...
WELL ... maybe you do, but normal and intelligent people don’t ... :-) ...
The Data Base is modified daily. . . including weather data and whether runways are being modified or in use. That does not require FAA certification for each change, you idiot. The changes are normal business practice. The SAME DATA BASES load on to the Windows Surface computer used on a couple of other airlines and would have the same results. The Jeppson Software cannot handle two conflicting charts for the the same air port. It cannot resolve the conflict. It is NOT the fault of the computer handling the software. It was the DATA that was compromised and not the product of the operating system that you have been spending all your time bashing. THOSE ARE THE FACTS, not the ones you make up out of your delusional world.
You go on and on in this comment digging your hole deeper and deeper about something you know absolutely nothing about. . . because of a data glitch. . . that was easily correct. Would you have preferred these flights get to their destination Airport in Orange County and find they had BAD DATA??? I certainly would not.
There was nothing about an update to an APP or the OS that had anything to do with this. YOU are pulling problems out of your nether regions that do not exist, so that YOU can further bash Apple. That is deluded.
