No, my claim is that what Schaivo said is false. And that for that matter, what happened to that ANA flight only happened because they were on the ground.

If there is a fault with the 787's Air/Ground Sensing System that would be another issue, but there's no evidence of that yet.

Comment That's just false (Score 5, Informative) 90

There was an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight in 2019 in which the 787 aircraft did this itself, while the flight was on final approach.

The investigation revealed the plane software made the 787 think it was on the ground and the Thrust Control Malfunction Accommodation System cut the fuel to the engines

The plane was not "on final approach." It was in fact on the ground.

What happened was that the Thrust Control Malfunction Accommodation System shut down the engines after reverse thrust was selected quickly after touchdown. That is a serious issue but did not happen when the plane was in the air.

It looks like they did account for this. The W / TB value is a little hard to parse, but what they really meant was: "Power efficiency, measured as the average power consumed in watts to write or read 1 TB of data."

That's only the power consumed by the drive itself, not the entire system:

total power consumed by a drive

IANAL but I don't think that would count as self-incrimination. They're not being ordered to admit they did it, just that they control a particular account, just as someone who matches a description in the area of a crime might be detained and ordered to produce identification but cannot be forced to admit they committed the crime.
