What was found
(CAN) WHILE PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE AIRCRAFT, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LANDING LIGHT SWITCH WAS FUNCTIONING INTERMITTENTLY. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF DEFECT URGED US TO REPLACE THE SWITCH WITH A NEW PART. THE OLD SWITCH WAS OPENED UP TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION WHICH REVEALED ONE OF THE COPPER BRAIDS SEPARATED FROM ITS POINT OF ATTACHMENT. THIS DEFECT HAS PROBABLY OCCURRED TWO OR THREE TIMES WITH THIS ORGANIZATION.
