COM 3 Datalink Fault
Am I missing something? Or is the Circuit Breaker Reset procedure no longer in the COM?
I'm a new (ish) CA, and have never looked it up myself, always the CA did and just told me which CB to reset.
Last week I had this pop up and for the life of me I could not find the procedure. We both looked for a long time. So either I need to up my COM Supplemental game, (entirely possible, it's confusing AF, so spare me the "as a new captain..." lectures) or it was removed with OB 18-05.

So, being that there is no approved procedure, am I to assume that the appropriate course of action is to continue the flight without ACARS and write it up in the logbook after landing? Because I"m not trying to play circuit breaker bingo, so if that's what I gotta do...

You can switch comm 3 to voice and try hitting the ptt a few times and if that doesn’t work reset the “vhf 3” breaker behind the FO, cant remember the line and number but its the one that isn’t dusty and says VHF3 on it. Or you can continue on without it and write it up when you land if you’re worried about any disciplinary action.
Either way you do you...
