Possible Causes:

  • Flight Control Unit (FCU) 1 (A65)
  • Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Tips:

Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None

Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None

This fault could be related to a real issue with the flight control system but not related to a faulty flight control unit. The flight control unit command and monitoring lane within each channel are sometime not able to confirm a fault at the same time related to the flight control system. In this condition a single or many CAS messages will be posted and require troubleshooting. This fault may sometime be cleared by performing the flight control system reset procedure. If the fault clears, Swap FCU positions.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Perform a self test of FCU to confirm that the fault remains the same.

    1. If system checks are good, do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  2. Swap FCU 1 with FCU 2.

    1. If system checks are good, replace FCU 1. Reset FCUs latched faults and do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  3. Perform wiring checks between the following contacts:

    From To Result
    A65AP1-1H A65AP1-15D
    A65AP1-2H A65AP1-15C
    A65AP1-1D A65AP1-5B
    A65AP1-1C A65AP1-5A
    A65AP1-3K A65AP1-8J
    A65AP1-2D A65AP1-5D

    1. If wiring checks are not good, repair defective wiring as required and do close out.
    2. If wiring checks are good, continue with next step.

  4. Perform a NVM download of both FCUs and send the download data to ac.yul@aero.bombardier.com.
