The headline doesn&#x27;t do the problem justice. This is a <i>big deal.</i> Here&#x27;s a snippet:<p><pre><code> &quot;after 248 days of continuous power, all four (generator control units) will go into failsafe mode at the same time, resulting in a loss of all AC electrical power regardless of flight phase.&quot; </code></pre> The current workaround is to totally shutdown and restart.
