Air France A380 aborts flight after computer glitch

[Philip Argy]

Is there any pattern developing in relation to A380 issues? I know there are always teething problems but the frequency and diversity of issues does seem to me to reflect a quality control problem rather than a design issue with any particular system (except for the Panasonic IFE!).

Too many computers and sensors which at times report issues which are not really there.

There was a good article about the reliability of the A380 and the steps Airbus are taking to get the reliablilty rate even higher.
