Common practice in Air-to-Air training when adversaries were on different frequencies (like in a Red-flag type major exercise) in order to acknowledge you were aware of an attack from an adversary, was to perform a rapid wing-rock, rolling the aircraft rapidly back and forth through a large range of bank angles. Apparently the Engineers did not include this scenario in the FBW algorithms, and an aircraft at Nellis was lost as a result. | |
