Is that due to the crash at the Paris Airshow several years back?

IIRC, the pilot commanded a flight attitude in the landing config that
the
software wouldn't allow and that led to the aircraft settling into the
trees.


Only crash at a Paris airshow that I know of was of a Tu144. No Airbus
ever crashed in Paris.



I remember the incident though. An A320 full of passengers doing
something it shouldn't have at an air show, and ending up descending
into trees at the end of the runway.

Aircraft destroyed, but incredibly, only one fatality.

You may remember an incident (accident actually). But if you remember it
was in Paris, you are remembering wrong.


devil,

Googled this regarding an A320 accident in France in 1998.

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~szewczyk/cs294-8/hw1.html

Each of the "Issues" has an article or two regarding this accident.

Some refer to the Paris Airshow, while some just refer to an airshow in
eastern France.
