A few of us worked through Mike C's problem today and we reckon...

#1 system failure with full range of attendant CAS messages and lots of scary yellow bits on the #1 side of the Synotic page. CAS would also have had a #2 SERVO message and some even more scary (because they were on the #2 side) yellow bits on the synoptic page, but only those indicating a servo failure as the system doesn't tell which servo is the problem and lights them all up.

Key clues to imminently staying alive would have been the #2 Pressure and Temp were still normal, #2 Reservoir Level was still full, #2 system SOVs still open and, most importantly, it was still flying.

Does that sound close?
