writing afterwards is easy, but still required.
the problem of recoverable software and hardware for safety critical systems were solved in 1978-87 and were subject of my PhD applied for Russian submarines, satellites and later Sukhoy 27, 27I and C (India and China respectively). Later in 94-95 I was preaching the same for British Aerospace - having no aircrafts in design or decision making people in UK in 98-99 I was pursuing the same and further development in Seattle for both: military and commercial aviation dept of Boeing - by invitation from there and full support of US Government.
Later we did project for EC called ONBASS was done in full swing 2004-2009.
Russian government is still trying to steal (as far as they can understand) how to make next steps - see patent and patent defence case.
We have summarised our experience in four books published by Springer.
Rod Liddle in 2015 did interview for Sun
Some notes about this saga you can find below. Dan and Andy from WSJ, as well as their predecessor Jeff Cole are fully aware about this all, see attachment in email I sent you...
Unfortunately - instead of REDOING avionics as it should be people elsewhere talk about functional safety, ( kind of bull shit, safety is only active and preventive, nothing else matter). Also popular nonsense called conditional maintenance - even NASA (like they now how to measure conditions of aircraft, on board system and environment - ( at order of 2 at power 24 states) - nobody knows how to combine and, of cause - verification of a system - for Intel new processor - hardware code if 1.2mln lines verification program exceed 1.5 billion lines - read thousand times more errors in there...
Well enjoy reading, if you want to implement the solution that is proven - also by patent a the best one for flight mode, tracing and recovering in real time system on board - do ask, but first read our books. The answers are there, excited and proven.

Notes on Active safety of aircrafts and people
in 1985-89 the first concept of dynamic safety for aviation (CoDySA) was introduced by ATLAB Ltd, Bristol, now IT-ACS LTD, also UK.
Fields tests of prototype took place and passed STATE TESTS see this:

in 98-99 specially for Boeing, .Lockheed And Northrop results were presented:
https://www.academia.edu/7119860/The_Concept_of_Dynamic_Safety
and EXPLAINED for CA and Military sectors of Boeing in Seattle and Orlando.
Special Talk how to aggregate on-board and Air traffic controllers info was suggested and explained
https://www.academia.edu/7126686/Safelets_a_Software_Support_for_Dynamic_Safety_System
a special project ONBASS was funded by EC within FP5 to make it implemented for general and commercial aviation.
results of this project we presented for Eurocontrol, Airbus, and EASA,
sent to Boeing and Eurocontrol, as well as German, Swiss, Russian, French governments.

during demonstration of functioning the whole software framework with prototyped devices were presented 18 November 2008 in London.
there books published explaining all hardware, systems, software and active system control designs:

defended in Europe

and ... Nothing was implemented - instead of two lamps on a panel of 737 indicating loss of oxygen pressure?
Now world is doing nothing again, and only few super experts and enthusiasts of aviation ( CAPTIO team) are pushing investigation of MH370 getting the grip of what was that and what to do to avoid in the future.

Money on safety - you have it! but you need to learn how to get it:

The book Russian Government (Rospatent) tried to endorse and even re-patent:

and if we do nothing today, tomorrow will be exactly the same as yesterday. Happy flights. And good luck! You need very good one!.
