DU snag

English to French Other Engineering (general)
On numerous occasions when performing maintenance or refueling the helicopter, the battery is cycled 'on' to monitor fuel quantity.
After the completion of the task, the Flight Ops department will occasionally get a notification that the System has been activated and the helicopter is overdue.
The pilot, Chief Pilot, and the ROC are all notified of this when the battery was just cycled on and off.
The reporter believes that this could be similar to the recent DU snag that Bell called "a software nuisance glitch."

Samuël Buysschaert Jun 8, 2021:
I agree This seems to be the most logical answer, DU should refer to the Display Unit (also called Advanced Displays on helicopters).
Display Unit definition:
"a device with a screen that displays characters or graphics representing data in a computer memory. It usually has a keyboard or light pen for the input of information or inquiries"

You should suggest it as an answer.

A kind of guess game but "DU" could stand for "Display Unit", "DU snag" => Anomalie d'affichage !!!

Anomalie d'affichage

I prefer the term "anomalie" it's more nuanced and refers more to a kind of bug/glitch than a fault that can lead to a failure of the DU.

In accordance with what David mentioned and commented.

neutral david henrion : c'est sans doute cela mais je dirais pas "défaut" qui impliquerait selon moi une panne plus ou moins facilement identifiable, mais "anomalie".

Je dirais que c'est une panne causée par un bug... (État anormal d'un système ou de l'un de ses éléments le mettant dans l'impossibilité d'accomplir une fonction requise.)
