Part: SWITCH — MISWIRED (ZONE 200) · airframe 2,864 hrs · 1,878 cycles

MODIFIED AIRCRAFT WITH AN STC FOR GOGO LX5 TO CONNECT THE AIRCRAFT TO A 5G NETWORK FOR IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. ALL WORK COMPLETED PER WIRING DRAWINGS SUPPLIED AND WERE CURRENT AT THE TIME. IT WAS FOUND LATER THAT THE ON / OFF SWITCH WIRING (DRAWING CA25174) SHOULD BE ON ITS OWN BREAKER WHILE ALSO BEING A SMALLER BREAKER TO PROTECT THE AIRCRAFT AND WIRING. IN THE PREVIOUS WIRING DRAWING FOR THIS SWITCH, THERE WAS A SAFETY RISK THAT THE BREAKER WOULD NOT OPEN AND THE CIRCUIT COULD OVERHEAT. TEXTRON AVIATION ENGINEERING TEAM UPDATED DRAWING TO REFLECT THE CHANGE AND CORRECT THE ENGINEERING MISTAKE, AND AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN CORRECTED IN THE FIELD. ORIGINAL DRAWING ENGINEERED BY LIBERTY PARTNERS ON BEHALF OF TEXTRON AVIATION. THOUGH THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS FOUND WITH THE AIRCRAFT ONCE DISPATCH TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WE FEEL AS IT IS OUR OBLIGATION TO REPORT A SERVICE DIFFICULTY REPORT. I WORK FOR TEXTRON AVIATION IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN. CRS: CNQ0918D.
