illuminate whenever a hardware fault is detected, configuration files are
missing, or if the internal flight data card is full. The FAIL indicator will also
flash during unit boot up. A list of faults are in Section 5. The FAIL discrete will
usually (but not always) be activated whenever the FAIL indicator is
