## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PILOTS REPORTED THE AFCS WOULD NOT PASS THE IBIT TEST AND DURING FLIGHT THE ACFT PITCHED UPWARD UNCOMMAND.  CHANGING THE FCC, FCC 407-074-009-101, ELIMINATED ALL THE FAULT CODES EXCEPT FOR THE 1 ASSOCIATED WITH THE PITCH SEMA VALIDITY.  THE PITCH ACTUATOR WAS THEN REPLACED AND ALL FAULTS ARE CLEAR.
