4. Procedure
Subtask 25-62-00-210-068-A
A. Visual Inspection
   (1) Make sure that the pressure gage of the inflation reservoir shows the correct pressure.
NOTE: There are two different types of pressure gages (MODEL A and MODEL B).
MODEL A has a green cursor that is sensitive to temperature.
MODEL B has a needle with an internal mechanism that is sensitive to temperature.
The two models can give temporary low pressure indications when there are sudden temperature changes from a cold to a warm environment. This usually occurs after a longer flight and when the aircraft door is opened in a warm environment. The cursor/needle moves to changes in temperature faster than the gas pressure can adapt to this change in the inflation reservoir.
     (a) The indications for MODEL A are as follows:
  • The needle in AREA A (green cursor width) shows that the pressure level is correct.
  • The needle in AREA B, which is half the range of AREA A, shows a pressure level that is permitted if sudden temperature changes occurred in the last 60 minutes.
     (b) The indications for MODEL B are as follows:
  • The GREEN BAND shows a correct pressure level.
  • AREA B, which is a range equal to AREA A, shows a pressure level that is permitted if sudden temperature changes occurred in the last 60 minutes.
     (c) If the pressure gage shows an indication in AREA B:
       1 Let the temperature conditions become stable and then examine the pressure again.
       2 If the pressure gage continues to show an indication in AREA B:
         a Stop the operation of the applicable door.
         b Refer to the associated MMEL item.
         c Make an entry in the logbook.
