IEFIS G3 suddenly not booting up
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2024 3:56 pm
Landed at my home airport and was planning on going for a second flight after lunch.
When switching the iEFIS on it failed to boot. It boot 5 blocks and then failed to load EXP3. When trying to boot the system from an external SD card I got error code 2 and it didn’t boot up either.
Had to remove the iEFIS from the panel, take it home and replace the internal SD card. Assume the internal SD card became corrupted. Lesson learned. Always keep a backup system SD card with you otherwise someone might get stuck at an airport if operating with a single iEFIS.
