On a Boeing 767-200, will a bad tilt sensor be indicated on EICAS?

Question

Will the prox switch controller save a failed switch number?

Answer 1

Bad tilt switch?  Are you writing a paper on the aircraft?  What a strange question.  I'm starting to think some of these questions are being asked by possible hijackers.  I'm going to stop answering the stranger ones.

Answer 2

It should give you a ecas message of what system is effected. Then you interrogate the prox box if that is at fault for that system message. The box will have a hard fault locked in if it picked up a bad proximity sensor.

Answer 3

What is a tilt sensor?  Anyway any bad switch would be recorded and saved by the CMC (Central Maintenance computer) so the maintenance people can download the CMC and fix the bad switch...or most likely go spray it with a can of silicone lube...which is nearly always their fix for broken switched, even if it is truly broken.
