Travel

1) Summary: Why do airplanes use floppy disks in 2020?

Name: Ax Sharma Hacker Noon

Category: Travel

Email: query-b5ai@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Hacker Noon

Deadline: 7:00 PM GMT - 17 August

Query:

DEF CON revealed and The Register reported: airplanes use floppy
disks to update their "navigation database" every 28 days.

1. Why do they still use this legacy medium as opposed to CDs or
USBs? Is it just a remnant of old times that wasn't deemed
worthy of update (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) ?

2. Is this more secure or less? I would think more (needing
physical access vs. remote updates), but what about the legacy
aspect of it?

3. What about an engineer visit required every 28 days
(inconvenience)

4. What exactly does a "navigation database" do? Does it
comprise maps and flight routes or there's more to it?

Thank you, and pardon my ignorance: not an aviation expert.

Requirements:

Be an aviation expert, pilot/crew or a cybersecurity expert
working in aviation. Prefer concise answers 2-3 sentences each,
if possible, than page-long reports.

Happy to cite your name, title and company but no
self-promotional product pitches please. Thanks.
