That's a great link. It looks like the Air France pilot believed the Airbus computer system was doing something inappropriate. I don't think most would buy a drive-by-wire automobile, yet plenty have bought fly-by-wire planes from Airbus. New information provided by sources within Air France suggests, that the ACARS messages of system failures started to arrive at 02:10Z indicating, that the autopilot had disengaged and the fly by wire system had changed to alternate law. Between 02:11Z and 02:13Z a flurry of messages regarding ADIRU and ISIS faults arrived, at 02:13Z PRIM 1 and SEC 1 faults were indicated, at 02:14Z the last message received was an advisory regarding cabin vertical speed. That sequence of messages could not be independently verified. .
