Good to have that capability, but I can attest to issues upgrading as I sit at my desk -- can't imagine problem while in the air...

I'm guessing the updated file has no connection to its avionics program that keeps the pilot in the air.

SSG Robert Mark Odom Something doesn't sound appealing about that. I just updated the Software in this Laptop and I had to Restart it for it to take effect. I Don't think I would want to go "Yeah Let's Shut down while the Software Updates" Falling Kind of Sucks!
