4. ProcedureSubtask 27-14-00-210-052-A
A. Check for General Condition
(1) Do a visual check of the servo control bearings.
(2) Do a visual check of the aileron hinge bearings.
(3) Make sure that the liners are not damaged.
Subtask 27-14-00-220-050-A (1) Do a visual check of the servo control bearings.
(2) Do a visual check of the aileron hinge bearings.
(3) Make sure that the liners are not damaged.
NOTE: The liner is a coat of teflon between the bearing case and the ball. It lets the ball turn with a minimum of friction (self lubricating).
If you can see the liner, replace the related servo control (Ref. AMM TASK 27-14-51-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 27-14-51-400-001). B. Check of the Aileron Servo Controls and Hinge Bearings for too much Play and Condition
(1) On the panel 24VU, release the FLT CTL/ELAC 2 pushbutton switch (the OFF legend comes on).
(3) Apply 30 daN (67.4427 lbf) in the up direction on the trailing edge.
(5) Release the force.
(6) At the same position, apply 30 daN (67.4427 lbf) in the down direction on the trailing edge.
(7) Continue to apply this force and read the value on the dial indicator.
(8) Release the force on the trailing edge.
(9) For each measurement, if the distance is more than 10 mm (0.3937 in.) between the two positions, do one of the steps that follow until the result of the measured value is correct.
(a) On the panel 24VU, push the FLT CLT/ELAC 2 pushbutton switch (the OFF legend goes off).
(b) On the panel 23VU, release the FLT CTL/ELAC 1 pushbutton switch (the OFF legend comes on).
(11) At the same position, apply 30 daN (67.4427 lbf) in the up direction on the trailing edge.
(12) Continue to apply this force and set the dial indicator to zero.
(13) Release the force.
(14) At the same position, apply 30 daN (67.4427 lbf) in the down direction on the trailing edge.
(15) Continue to apply this force and read the value on the dial indicator.
