User:Andrewa/List of life threatening airliner instrument malfunctions

A list of incidents that either caused life-threatening injuries or had a clear potential to do so

If an incident resulted in a published report in which the flight instruments or automated controls were blamed for the risk to safety, it belongs here whether or not we have an article covering it

Otherwise, it probably doesn't belong, but discuss on the talk page

Loss of flight instruments or controls as a result of another failure does not necessarily qualify for inclusion, however an unrelated failure in instruments or controls that aggravated what was already a failure situation and elevated it to an emergency definitely would

Preample
Difficult to avoid OR here, but sources should solve that

Modern aircraft, and particularly commercial aircraft, increasingly depend on instruments, even when not flying by instrument flight rules, and on flight management systems including but not only increasingly sophisticated and integrated autopilots, autothrottle and autoland.

This dependence, and the resulting reduction of crew experience in flying without these aids, while generally making air travel safer has added a new risk, as demonstrated by these incidents.
