Apparently Boeing did incorporate plausibility checking but it was an optional "upgrade"... sigh.

Wow a pilot on nefmoto , thats nice Smiley

I'm sure there are a few of us on here.

Wish I had something to add to this, but I eschewed moving up to the heavy tin and stayed with piston twins doing specialized aerial work. No computers on those (too old, like 70s vintage), just direct cable connection to the control surfaces. If something goes wrong, it is the nut attached to the control column that is to blame. I can barely comprehend the complexity of a modern airliner which is another reason I took the path I did...
