Qantas Flight 72: Sensor Spikes Trigger Pitch-Downs

Sign in to see author· 3h ago

Curated archive record from NASA's 2023 historical software and automation incident catalog. NASA's catalog says sensor-input spikes caused the A330 autopilot to pitch down; one crew member and eleven passengers suffered serious injuries. The catalog cautions that an incident's behavior may not mean software itself was the sole root cause. This is a public-source summary, not an independent eyewitness report.
