1 question
Which aircraft variant are you troubleshooting?
2 action
Use this maintenance guide to locate the Ethernet harness and connectors that should be inspected for this link fault.
Please read the checklist carefully, refer to the layout diagram and then proceed with the debugging steps below.
Make sure to check Zerp for any recently replaced HW. If any LRU was recently replaced, proceed with inspection or replacement of remaining LRUs in the list.
LRUs to check:
- Distro-A to Hover-SF flex harness.
- Hover-SF board and connector.
- Distro board and connector.


Please read the checklist carefully, refer to the layout diagram and then proceed with the debugging steps below.

4 question
Inspect the Distro to Hover-SF flex, is there any visible damage?
5 action
Swap Distro to Hover-SF flex and proceed to the next inspection steps.
6 question
Inspect the Hover-SF motor (especially the connector), is there any visible damage?
7 action
Swap the Hover Stbd Fwd motor, proceed to next inspection steps.
8 question
Inspect the distro board (especially the relevant connector), is there any visible damage?
9 action
Swap the distro board, proceed to next steps.
10 question
Was anything swapped due to damage?
11 action
Invisible damage is most likely in the flex. Swap the flex (make sure the replacement has the foam covering). Notify and ship the removed flex to Avionics-HW-on-call POC (and include Joseph Katz). Try a redocking flight.
12 question
Is the issue resolved?
13 reference
The Aircraft may return to service.
14 escalation
Escalate to P2 Avionics Hardware On Call.
