I mean - clocks and wing-tip brake. Where's the connection logic I'm currently missing?
The wing-tip brakes need to be checked by engineers every 9 or 10 days, (I don't know the exact details of the check). I think the only 'stay-alive' date and time reference the aircraft has/had was its on-board clock. Presumably there is now another reference.
