I can't be sure because I'm not great at reading the change logs, but I believe you added a note to the fly-by-wire article about the Airbus 320 crash. I'm not sure this is a useful addition to the article. The pilot was _clearly_ at fault in this case, he deliberately disconnected safety devices in the cockpit, got lost, flew illegally low and then powered up far too late to clear the trees he was heading for. The fly-by-wire system was blameless, although he refused to take responsibility for the accident. In fact he claimed that he did not fly too low (below 150 feet) and that it was the fault of faulty instruments, but in the cockpit voice recording you can clearly hear the altimeter telling him he is below 50 feet. He was showing off and crashed his plane. User:Maury Markowitz
