A. Do this test:
5. Close-upNOTE: You can ignore the warnings related to this test.
NOTE: If the results of the test are not satisfactory, it is necessary to do the troubleshooting procedure TSM 22-11-00-810-835.
| ACTION | RESULT |
|---|---|
1.On the Flight Control Unit (FCU), on glareshield 13VU:
| On the top section of the CAPT and F/O PFDs:
|
| 2.Open circuit breaker 10CA2. | On the F/O PFD:
|
3.Move one pedal to operate the rudder pedals until its mechanical stop.
| On the SD, on the "F/CTL" page:
|
| 4.Make sure that when you move the CAPT(F/O) rudder pedal, the F/O(CAPT) rudder pedal moves in the same direction. | |
| 5.Move the rudder pedals to the neutral position. | |
| 6.Move the CAPT side-stick controller around its axis and then to zero. | The side stick controller moves freely. |
| 7.Move the F/O side-stick controller around its axis and then to zero. | The side stick controller moves freely. |
8.On the FCU:
| The green light of the pushbutton switch is on. AP1 engages. |
| 9.Apply the usual load on the rudder pedals (do not override the rudder pedal resistance not to disengage the autopilot). | You can feel a resistance on the rudder pedals. NOTE: Rudder pedals give the autopilot engagement threshold. |
| 10.Apply a load on the rudder pedals to override the rudder pedal resistance. | AP1 disengages. |
| 11.Move the rudder pedals to the neutral position. | |
| 12.Engage AP1 again. | The green light of the pushbutton switch is on. |
13.On the F/O side-stick controller:
| The side stick controller is locked. You can feel the usual resistance on the side stick controller. AP1 disengages. |
| 14.Move the F/O side-stick controller to the neutral position. | |
| 15.Engage AP1 again. | The green light of the pushbutton switch is on. |
| 16.Do step 13 with the CAPT side-stick controller. | The results are the same as those of step 13. |
| 17.Move the CAPT side-stick controller to the neutral position. | |
| 18.Close circuit breaker 10CA2. | |
| 19.After the safety test, make sure that FD2 engages. | On the F/O PFD:
|
| 20.Open circuit breaker 10CA1. | On the CAPT PFD:
|
| 21.Engage AP2. | The green light of the pushbutton switch is on. |
| 22.Apply the usual load on the rudder pedals (do not override the rudder pedal resistance not to disengage the autopilot). | You can feel a resistance on the rudder pedals. NOTE: Rudder pedals give the autopilot engagement threshold. |
| 23.Apply a load on the rudder pedals to override the rudder pedal resistance. | AP2 disengages. |
| 24.Release the rudder pedals to the neutral position. | |
| 25.Engage AP2 again. | The green light of the pushbutton switch is on. |
26.On the F/O side-stick controller:
| The side stick controller is locked. AP2 disengages. |
| 27.Move the F/O side-stick controller to the neutral position. | |
| 28.Engage AP2 again. | The green light of the pushbutton switch is on. |
| 29.Do step 26 with the CAPT side-stick controller. | The results are the same as those of step 26. |
| 30.Move the CAPT side-stick controller to the neutral position. | |
| 31.Close circuit breaker 10CA1. | |
