An expert producer with experience in cockpit display systems calls "bullshit" on claims by security researcher Chris Roberts that he hacked a plane's flight controls via the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. The technical explanation clarifies that the IFE and the safety-critical ARINC-429 bus are physically separate systems. The FAA's strict safety standards (DO-178B/C) prevent non-critical systems from interfacing with flight management, making Roberts' claims highly dubious.
