What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During cruise, approx. 45 minutes into flight the flight crew received repetitive "gnd spoiler fail" eicas message and flight control mfs 3 advisory. Both messages cycled on/off every 15 seconds for the remainder of the flight. No speed variations or abnormal aircraft behaviour was felt, a visual inspection of the spoilers confirmed they were stowed. Flight crew was in contact with moc to troubleshoot issues.
Dispatch, chief pilot, flight crew and maintenance were all okay with flight continuing to san. Flight crew declared an emergency with ATC in the event that the spoilers did not deploy on landing. Cabin crew and passengers were briefed.
Flight landed safely and without incident in san, met by ARFF as a precaution.
Maintenance advised they conducted an aircraft power cycle which cleared the warnings. No reoccurrences reported.
