The database needs to be updated after every 28 days, so a designated engineer visits these planes and load eight (8) floppy disks during their visit to update the database. It is surprising but Boeing is still using this technology.

They are using outdated technology because they didn’t think there is a need to change them. A few years ago, it was found that a computer made back in 1980 are still in use of a school’s heating system.
