That makes sense.
Ironic that a pad lock designed for safety, causes a very unsafe situation.
Wouldn't have been an issue if the pilot followed the instructions of the holster manufacturer.
Ban guns in the cockpit!!!
I think he was being facetious. :laugh:PascalFleischman
Are you serious about this? Why?
Of course it was pilot error. Pilots are human. They have lapses of judgement. Lapses in judgement have caused crashes. But, it is the job of systems engineers to engineer systems that are fail soft. Every incedent of pilot error is a teachable moment. Systems are analysed (including training and proceedures and equipment) and sometimes changes are made.
In my opinion (I am a systems engineer), the holster/lock is not a fail soft solution. However, one must remember, this solution was developed more by politics than good engineering practice. Given the politics, I am not hopeful of a better engineered solution.
