Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for effector reboot on an electric aircraft during flight. An effector controller may perform a power on built-in test on boot. An effector controller may selective perform an additional built-in test (ABIT) on boot based on instructions from a flight controller. The flight controller may use flags to indicate the necessity of an ABIT on boot. The effector controller may not perform an ABIT during flight. A backup controller may be used to send standard commands to an effector controller but may not sent an ABIT command.
