China Airlines Flight 140 crashed , causing many deaths , due to a misunderstanding about the manual overrides for the autopilot . The Take-Off/Go Around system had been activated to abort a landing . It was programmed to ignore manual controls in this situation but the human pilots tried to continue the landing . The conflicting control signals from the pilots and autopilot then resulted in the aircraft stalling and crashing . The autopilot for this aircraft type was then reprogrammed so that it would never ignore a manual override
