Question 1

what are your actions if an a/c reports a navaid malfunction?

Answer 1

1. Request a report from a second aircraft.
2. If the second aircraft reports normal operations, continue use and inform the first aircraft. Record the
   incident on FAA Form 7230−4 or appropriate military form.
3. If the second aircraft confirms the malfunction or in the absence of a second aircraft report, activate the
   standby equipment or request the monitor facility to activate.
4. If normal operation is reported after the standby equipment is activated, continue use, record the incident
   on FAA Form 7230−4 or appropriate military form, and notify technical operations personnel (the Systems
   Engineer of the ARTCC when an en route aid is involved).
5. If continued malfunction is reported after the standby equipment is activated or the standby equipment
   cannot be activated, inform technical operations personnel and request advice on whether or not the aid should
   be shut down. In the absence of a second aircraft report, advise the technical operations personnel of the time
   of the initial aircraft report and the estimated time a second aircraft report could be obtained.
