INTRODUCTION
This work package contains a general guideline for troubleshooting the Aviation Mission Planning System
(AMPS). Operator level repair is limited. If a fault cannot be corrected using the procedures provided in this
section, contact the AMPS Helpdesk through the AMPS Website at https://www.amps.army.mil for assistance.
You will need to request access to the AMPS Website upon your first visit.
Problems associated with the PCU and AMPS accessories may often be easily solved with standard PC
troubleshooting procedures. The Troubleshooting Tables in the this work package do not attempt to include an
exhaustive list of possible corrective actions you can take.
Table 1 lists the most common problems encountered during operation on the PCU and Table 2 lists the most
common problems experienced on the ruggedized printer. For troubleshooting the MU-1005/A Rockwell Collins
Data Transfer Receptacle (R/C DTR) and the MU-1114/A Smith Industries Data Transfer Module receptacle
(SDTMR), see TM 11-7025-337-23.
General Troubleshooting Guidelines
1. Ensure all electrical harnesses are fully engaged and tightened.
