Flight Crew Landed As Precaution; Flight Crew Returned To Departure Airport; General Maintenance Action
Aircraft; Procedure
After rotation we had a #2 AHRS failure. We continued to climb out; and followed ATC instructions. After all appropriate checks were completed we ran the emergency checklist. We then decided it was best to return to the field. The First Officer saw a bunch of flags on his instruments as well as a flag on the captain's side RMI. It probably happened because the #2 AHRS was written up 5 times within the last week and Maintenance never fixed the problem correctly. No emergency was ever declared. Fix the aircraft right the first time.
