As a 33 year Boeing pilot I can tell you this is media nonsense. I'll share one technical fact: the Honeywell FMS (Flight Management System) has what is called a Mode Control Panel and NOTHING will override the altitude control setting in that panel made by the pilot. NOTHING!
Also, there is no command in the system that allows the pilot to program altitude climbs. Descents yes, climbs NO.
Pure nonsense and yes, the two systems are totally seperate. On May 18, 2015 12:16 AM, "AeroElectric-List Digest Server" <aeroelectric-list(at)matronics.com (aeroelectric-list(at)matronics.com)> wrote:[quote]*

My take on this is that it is mostly false and rumors.

Boeing says the entertainment system and the flight controls and avionics are isolated
from each other. I believe them.

I believe Boeing also. It would not be sensible to have the two systems
integrated in any way.
I don't believe most of what the news reports say. My biggest issue is
with drones. The media does not know the difference between a combat
equipped drone and a hobby drone. To them a drone is a drone is
a....... Any of them will wreak havoc and destruction on the world. I
believe this led to the FAA getting there nose under the tent with
regard to hobby drones being used commercially. Someone at the FAA also
noticed that some entrepreneurs were making money with hobby sized
drones that carried no weapons. The FAA decided they had to manage
these operations to limit the profits to be had. How can drone
operation for a hobby be any safer than operating a drone for some
commercial purpose?
The media sells air time and disaster holds the viewer interest.
I apologize for stealing the thread but the note about the media got my
adrenalin flowing.
