PILOT WRITE--UP
Honeywell provides squawk check sheets on the back of flight plan
forms (Honeywell Form Number 20323--000) to aid in flight planning
and system troubleshooting. (See Figure 9--6.)
The following paragraphs present general guidelines for making pilot
write--ups for maintenance technicians.
Before making an entry, determine conditions under which the problem
exists. To aid in determining these conditions, the following questions
should be answered.
D Are there any obvious problems (flags in view or fault annunciators
lit)?
D Is the problem in pitch, roll, or yaw axis, or a combination thereof?
D Is the problem present in all modes or only under specific conditions,
such as:
— Flaps or gear up or down, or speed brakes in or out
— Certain aircraft power configuration
— Certain speed
— Certain altitude
— Two or more modes
— Certain sequence in mode selection
— Specific radio frequencies (NAV or COM)
— When keying a transmitter
— When weather radar is operating
— Certain electrical configurations (are all circuit breakers in)?
D Does the autopilot follow the commands as shown by the flight
director command cue and horizontal situation indicator lateral
deviation bar?
D Can the pilot fly the flight director commands with the autopilot
disconnected?
D Does some problem exist with autopilot engaged in a heading hold
and pitch hold mode?
D In radio modes, are certain conditions present, such as another
aircraft in front of localizer or glideslope transmitter (overflight
disturbances), VOR beam scallops, etc.?
