An aircraft have avionics computers and equipment and radios that help the pilot fly the aircraft. A "failure" of a system or one of the computers means there was something that went wrong with the computer or in this case the radio. Sometimes there is an internal failure within the box caused by a problem with a computer chip or a short in a wire or a failure of a power source.

Most passenger aircraft have 2 or more radios for communications. Aircraft may also have 2 or more radios that are used for navigation by receiving signals.

In modern aircraft, the avionics computers have a trouble-shooting diagnostics. If the computer detects a problem, it will send or display a warning to the pilot in the form of a simple message displayed on his Monitor. This message is called a "Fault". The computer records a code number of this fault, called a "fault code", that will allow the ground maintenance personel to know what could be the source of the problem.
