The AAIB said the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the manufacturer are urgently reviewing the effectiveness and scope of an airworthiness directive previously issued for this helicopter type.
Despite this, he said, publicity about the talk had led the European Aviation and Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration to get in touch seeking more details.
In our interview he declined to specify exactly what vulnerabilities he discovered in that code, saying that he has instead contacted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Administration, (EASA) and is working with the affected aerospace companies to fix the problems.
The US is one of the last places to not allow transmitting electronics in-flight. (And only recently the FAA is coming under pressure by the airlines themselves so they can turn a higher profit with these additional systems) But it has been happening for awhile now with the other authorities, ie- EASA, CAAS, so on.
