Bad flight plan?
"Invariably someone puts a flight plan wrong and it borks the system"
Seems that this is a fairly regular event then.
"If the same data goes into the backup server it will sometimes fall over on same processing problems, and start switching back and forth with the main server. When we get a switchover then the first thing that's usually done is to shut down the backup processor."
So the data doesn't ALWAYS bork the system then.
And the fix is to disable the backup system. Which is presumably there just for laughs??? WTF???
If this info El Reg has gotten hold of is correct then there is something more than rotten with both the software and the operating procedures here.
I wonder what other mischief - accidental or deliberate - could done with a "bad" data entry?
