Failed Attitude Display
The PFD’s attitude display failed. Bench testing resulted in wandering indicated airspeed and altitude displays. The manufacturer determined this failure’s only solution is to replace the EFD1000 with a newer version under a different p/n. A new EFD1000 was installed and ground-tested serviceable.
