The work

Aircraft warning light maintenance and fault finding.

Aircraft warning lights are exposed to weather, difficult access and long operating hours. A failed light may be caused by the fitting, cabling, power supply, control gear, photocell, changeover arrangement or monitoring circuit.

PPM and service visits cover the agreed lights and control equipment, operational checks, alarm indications, power arrangements and defects requiring repair.

Approach

From the reported fault to a tested conclusion.

The exact test plan depends on the system, its condition and the effect of taking equipment out of service. These are the usual stages for this type of work.

01

Confirm the asset arrangement

Identify fittings, supplies, control gear, photocells, monitoring and changeover equipment.

02

Test local and remote functions

Check light operation, control commands, alarms, standby arrangements and communication paths.

03

Record service condition

Log faults and deterioration, complete agreed servicing and verify the return to operation.
