Pressurization Test for Air Leakage or Noise in a Specified Area at a Differential Pressure of 550 mbar (7.97 psi) (with the AIDS)
WARNING:
DO NOT OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE RED WARNING LIGHT FLASHES. IF THE RED WARNING LIGHT FLASHES, REMAINING PRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN SUDDENLY AND CAN:
- KILL OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS
- CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
WARNING:
THERE MUST BE TWO PERSONS IN THE COCKPIT DURING THE PRESSURIZATION TEST.
IF A CHANGE IN PRESSURE HAS AN UNWANTED EFFECT (PAIN, NOISE IN THE EARS, HEADACHE, OR OTHER) ON ONE PERSON, THE OTHER PERSON CAN ADJUST THE PRESSURE TO AVOID INJURY.
WARNING:
DO NOT OPEN OR GO NEAR PRESSURE-SEALED DOORS WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS PRESSURIZED.
A PRESSURE-SEALED DOOR THAT OPENS WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS PRESSURIZED:
- WILL CAUSE EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION.
- CAN KILL OR CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT OR EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT:
- ONLY THE PERSONS NECESSARY FOR THE PRESSURIZATION TEST ARE IN THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE TEST.
- THE PERSONS IN THE AIRCRAFT ARE IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION.
WARNING:
DO NOT LET PERSONS WHO HAVE A COLD, EAR ACHE, SINUS PROBLEMS OR A DIFFERENT ILLNESS GO INTO THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE PRESSURIZATION TEST. THE PRESSURE CHANGES DURING THE PRESSURIZATION TEST CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Reason for the JobTo do a pressurization test at a maximum differential pressure
of 550 mbar (7.97 psi):
- To find the accurate location of external air leakage not found at 280 mbar (4.06 psi)
- If Airbus tells you to do it after a specified structural repair.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of three persons necessary to do this task.

(5) We recommend that you remove the crew oxygen masks (Ref. AMM TASK 35-12-41-000-002).
NOTE: This test uses an absolute pressure higher than the cabin pressures you get during usual aircraft operations.
The crew masks have an aneroid capsule that is usually resistant to the absolute pressures you can get during this test.
But, to prevent high stress on the aneroid capsule, we recommend the removal of the crew oxygen masks.
(6) On AIR COND panel 30VU: The crew masks have an aneroid capsule that is usually resistant to the absolute pressures you can get during this test.
But, to prevent high stress on the aneroid capsule, we recommend the removal of the crew oxygen masks.

WARNING:
DO NOT LET THE CABIN ALTITUDE CHANGE TOO QUICKLY. SUDDEN CHANGES IN PRESSURE CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE IS NOT MORE THAN THE VALUE SPECIFIED FOR THIS TEST.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE ECAM DISPLAYS TO READ THE CABIN PRESSURE PARAMETERS (CABIN DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE, CABIN ALTITUDE, CABIN VERTICAL- SPEED) DURING THIS TEST.
THE PRESSURES USED IN THIS TEST ARE MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM LIMIT OF THE RELATED PRESSURE SENSOR.
WHEN THESE PRESSURES BECOME MORE THAN THE PRESSURE SENSOR LIMIT, ON THE ECAM DISPLAY:
- THE CABIN DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE INDICATION AND THE CABIN ALTITUDE INDICATION WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THESE LIMIT VALUES.
- THE CABIN VERTICAL-SPEED INDICATION IS NOT CORRECT.
WARNING:
BEFORE YOU GO NEAR THE PRESSURE-SEALED DOOR TO DO THE LEAK CHECK, MAKE SURE THAT NO OTHER MAINTENANCE WORK IN THE AIRCRAFT WILL CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN. IF THE PRESSURE-SEALED DOOR OPENS WHILE YOU ARE NEAR IT, IT CAN KILL YOU OR CAUSE YOU INJURY.
A. Test at a Differential Pressure of 550 mbar (7.98 psi)NOTE: This procedure uses the MAN V/S CTL switch on the CABIN PRESS section of panel 25VU to control the cabin pressure. This switch, which is spring-loaded to neutral, controls the outflow valve position:
- UP: the outflow valve moves to the open position (the cabin pressure decreases)
- DN: the outflow valve moves to the closed position (the cabin pressure increases).
- We recommend to operate this switch quickly (do not hold the switch in the UP or DN position)
- We recommend to monitor the cabin vertical-speed indication to prevent sudden changes in cabin pressure.

2.On the CABIN PRESS section of panel 25VU:
| On the MCDU (VSCB indication):
NOTE: This warning message can come into view when the cabin pressure is more than 2.5 mbar (0.04 psi), while the door red warning lights flash. |
| 3.With the MAN V/S CTL switch in the UP or DN position, keep the differential pressure stable at 300 mbar (4.35 psi) for 15 minutes. | Tell the ground personnel to do a precheck of the repaired area. On the MCDU (VSCB indication):
|
| 4.Use the same procedure as in step 2 to increase the cabin differential pressure to 550 mbar (7.98 psi). Make sure that the cabin vertical speed is not more than 500 ft.min (152.40 m.min) (VSCB indication on MCDU). | On the MCDU (VSCB indication):
|
| 5.With the MAN V/S CTL switch in the UP or DN position, keep the differential pressure stable at 550 mbar (7.98 psi). | On the MCDU (VSCB indication):
|
| 6.Apply the leak-detection soap solution to find leaks. | Record possible leaks. |
7.On the CABIN PRESS section of panel 25VU:
| On the MCDU (VSCB indication):
|
| 8.After the cabin is fully depressurized, fully open the outflow valve (OVP indication on the MCDU). | |
