Number: ILF2-47(R2)
Date: April 1, 2001 Document Effectivity: D6-30151-425 Subject: FMC ARRIVAL WAYPOINT SEQUENCE ANOMALY Reason: To inform flight crews of an FMC software anomaly associated with
duplicate route waypoints. Revised to add Service Bulletin information.
Information in this bulletin is recommended by The Boeing Company, but may not be FAA approved at the time of writing. In the event of conflict with the FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), the AFM shall supersede. The Boeing Company regards the information or procedures described herein as having a direct or indirect bearing on the safe operation of this model airplane.
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE AND/OR INFORMATION IS EFFECTIVE UPON RECEIPT
Background Information
A software anomaly may cause both FMCs to reset and eventually fail while adding or modifying the arrival portion of the route. The anomaly may occur when flight plan arrival modifications duplicate a waypoint in the active route. The duplicate waypoints may be separated by a route discontinuity or may appear with other waypoints between them. This anomaly most frequently occurs if the second duplicate waypoint has an “at or above” altitude constraint, and one (or more) waypoint on the legs page prior to the first occurrence also has a descent altitude constraint. When the downtrack duplicate waypoint is selected to the scratchpad and then entered in the discontinuity boxes (or after the first occurrence of the waypoint), the FMC flight planning function may not identify the second occurrence of the waypoint and subsequently reset. The FMCs may reset alternately until one or both fail, or the modification is rejected. The FMC alert message RESYNCING OTHER FMC and/or the FMC advisory message TIME OUT -RESELECT may be observed.
