Operational Test of the Rudder-Travel Limiting Function

TASK 22-61-00-710-001-A
Operational Test of the Rudder-Travel Limiting Function

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CIRCUITS IN MAINTENANCE ARE ISOLATED BEFORE YOU SUPPLY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIRCRAFT. UNWANTED ELECTRICAL POWER CAN BE DANGEROUS.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TRAVEL RANGES OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS SURFACES ARE CLEAR. MOVEMENT OF FLIGHT CONTROLS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKER 7XE. THIS WILL PREVENT A POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENT OF THE RAT IF THE MAIN AC BUSBARS 1XP AND 2XP BECOME ISOLATED.

ZONE: 210

1. Reason for the Job
To make sure that rudder-travel limiting system 1(2) operates correctly.

NOTE: The installation of the two engines is necessary to do this test.
