So as a pilot you can't override the software to stop it from "thinking that the plane is on the ground" mode?

Something similar happened recently with A320 when it didn't want to land on an airfield during emergency unless it was flown in a special mode. But F-35 doesn't have that?

What fresh hell is that... reboot, jam F8 just as the "Airbus" logo shows up, and then select "Boot in safe mode"?

You've reached the Airbus emergency hotline.

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?
