No, he did not.

Because this did not happen. At all. It is impossible.

He may have hacked into the inflight entertainment system. That's probably fairly easy as I doubt it's particularly hardened.

But there is not, has not and never will be a backchannel that is physically capable of sending anything from the passenger cabin data systems into the flight control systems.

The FBI are talking utter bollocks.
