Re: Threat model
Raising the flaps on landing could be quite difficult to control and induce a stall maybe. Not that difficult to initiate from a hacker perspective, read altitude and airspeed then raise flaps close to stall speed? Maybe not a fatal crash but its not going to be pleasant or easy to control if you are not expecting it.
If they have enough access and can input fail codes or similar to distract the pilot or worst case indicate failures where there are none and shut down working systems before the pilot realised and goes eyes / hard data only? It only takes a few seconds to go from ummm what's happening to crunch.
I'm not a pilot but looking at the recent crashes due to software or sensor failure I expect small craft are even more vulnerable unless you have Chuck Yeager at the controls.
