RE: Su-27 L.E. flaps
I guess that's why there are shoes. There once was a CO of mine who detested computers even though he was one of the earlier testers of ACLS, but it's been proven that there are more mishaps due to crew induced errors than due to computer error or actions taken when the crew thought there was a computer error. And, it's as if he didn't realize, or want to realize, that computers were the best part of his capability to fly let alone land. After a few thousand hours in carrier aviation and over 700 arrested landings, I can arttest to that fact as well. And looking at the mishap report of the incident, it wasn't all computer induced.
