The calculation... Okay, this is perfect, we will glide for 45 seconds...
With a slight descent, we have 60 seconds to pull back up. So we will be fine...
Flaws in logic:
1) When has the ESTIMATE for time required EVER been accurate
2) Middle of the updating... Adjusting Flaps during reset... [that's when REAL panic sets in]
3) Once started... You are NOT stopping this...
I see an interesting side effect. The problem will be logged as: "Pilot had a heart attack"
The software Update, while being the cause, won't be mentioned...

This already exists on SAAB Gripen. Except, specifically not for the Fly-by-wire software.
It's mostly used for the EW-suite.

Gives new meaning to "over the air" updates.
And every update will be labelled "Minor bug fixes and improvements".

I would not want to be mid-flight when the aircraft decides it needs to update its software...

My point exactly.
I suppose military discipline has its uses - you don't get to refuse to fly in the death trap aircraft...

It's typical public B.S. about defense systems, their development and deployment written by morons.
I'd bet the actual 'update capability' refers to C3I sharing of strategic and tactical data in real-time during battle.

Developer: Oops, it wasn't supposed crash; it didn't do that in the lab. Ask the user to switch if off again and see if he can recreate the problem. Tell him to hold down the shift-key while it reboots to put it into debug mode.
What about hardware updates... are the engines hot-swappable?

Has nobody seen BattleStar Galactica where the Cylons disable the 'modern' colonial fighters by updating them. #FireyDeath

It likely has redundant systems, as it is fly-by-wire and updates are not the only thing that endanger the cyborg.

Even worse.
Remember that RPM attack that took down Russian Servers based on their location when the Ukraine thing started...
Imagine... The plane is flying a secret mission, the update comes in... And that kind of code is in there...
this kind of stuff...
Or it takes the FOF (Friend or Foe) signal offline, just long enough...
This just SMACKS of a STUPID idea.
