How do I come to terms with the Primus 2000 “Download and Clear” BrewHaHa
If you get a “Avionics Maint” white message:
You can ignore it. Or you can go through a 1 YEAR hassle trying to get all of this stuff figured out..
Hart Aviation:
We build a Primus Data Loader, P-2000 Maintenance Access Unit, (Built to Honeywell Drawings). This unit was built for the roughly 19 Falcon 900’s that did not have built in data access ports. (See our web site under the Falcon 900 section near the end of the page) We have one on hand which sells for $4250.00.
F900ex S/N 028 the l42FV and R42FV are under the blank covers in the side consoles.

How do I make peace with the Printer on BZZ?
Here is the last action when Hugo worked on it:
Hi Todd, below are the steps we took to fix the printer issue.
1. Wireless printer was configured to connect to some unknown wireless network. So we had to reset the printer when we took it back to the office.
2. We upgraded the firmware on the printer so that it could support air print. We enabled Bonjour on the printer.
3. Configured printer with IP address 192.168.1.173 and successfully connected it to the plane’s “VQBZZ Wireless Access” network
4. Tested printer successfully from windows laptop via wireless and iPad via air print.

How do I come to terms with Fault Codes in a SPZ-8000 for F900?
Here is the simple break-in to get the codes:
REMEMBER::::::
If you pull the breakers in the air as a matter of troubleshooting, the codes are lost!
If you land and power down airplane, the codes are lost!
Flight Fault summary must be performed after aircraft lands, before power is turned off.
YD and MTRIM must be dark.
At the copilots left elbow in the engineers Panel.
There is a Bat Handle switch labeled “AFCS TEST” or some such.
Select it up.
The ID802 panels will self test.
Then , When they are finished you should see “01 – FGC TEST?” Do NOT perform the test now.
Instead, push the LAFCS button which in this case acts as a “Previous Screen” button.
A few screens back, you will get to “98 – FLGHT FAULT SUMMARY”
Push “RESET” to get to the flight fault screen.
That should show the codes for the LEFT computer.
Take a picture of that screen.
Now press reset again.
That should show the RAFCS faults.
Take a picture of that screen

Here is the Spreadsheet that unwraps the Hex code to plain english…. or as plain english as a Honeywell engineer can make it.
This one runs under Libre Office:
SPZ-8000-Flight-Fault-Summary .ods
This one runs under excel:
SPZ-8000-Flight-Fault-Summary – this one is from Augusta
