PILOT WRITE–UP

Report Forms

Honeywell provides squawk sheets on the back of flight plan forms,
Honeywell Form No. 20323–000, dated 1/99, to aid flight planning and
troubleshooting. The form is shown in Figure 7–11.
The sample Event Code Report forms in Figures 7–12 and 7–13 can
be copied and used to record event codes if tablets of the forms are not
available.
The following paragraphs give general guidelines for making pilot
write–ups for maintenance technicians.

Preliminary Considerations

Before making an entry, determine conditions under which the problem
exists. Consider the following questions:
D
Are there any obvious problems, such as flags in view or fault
annunciators lit?
D
Is the problem in pitch, roll, or yaw axis, or a combination of them?
D
Does the problem occur 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 HSI lateral deviation bar?
D
Can the flight director commands be flown manually 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, such as another aircraft in
front of LOC or GS transmitter (overflight disturbances), VOR beam
scallops, etc., present?
