From my freelance gigs, I've seen avionics go all digital. I think we're losing the hands-on feel that made fixing things straightforward.

Honestly, I felt the same way for a long time. There was something solid and sure about the old manual systems. But watching a full digital diagnostic run on a modern flight deck changed my mind. It found a tiny fault in seconds, something that would have taken hours of manual tracing. That speed and accuracy keeps planes safe. We traded some hands-on work for a lot more reliability.

See your point about speed, but digital tools can glitch. Ngl, manual skills are still vital for safety.

But what if the computer GLITCHES mid-flight?
