Background
Section titled “Background”This alarm occurs when there are issues with the Droid Executive. That is, the Droid executive watchdog is alerting and there are no wired comms between the Aircraft and Droid. In this state, any missions involving the Droid (delivery, lower, raise, etc.) are likely to fail; therefore, the recommended maintenance action should be taken.
