E. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE CONTROLS AGREE WITH THE POSITION OF THE ITEMS THEY OPERATE BEFORE YOU PRESSURIZE A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF HYDRAULICALLY OPERATED ITEMS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.

(1) Pressurize the Green hydraulic system
(Ref. AMM TASK 29-10-00-863-001).
(2) Energize the electrical circuits:

energize the electrical circuits from the external power (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002)
or
energize the electrical circuits from the APU (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).

(3) If you use the APU to energize the aircraft electrical circuits, set the ADIRU 1 or 3 to ON. On the panel 20VU set the IR1 or IR3 selector switch to ATT.
(4) Do the EIS start procedure (upper ECAM DU and lower ECAM DU only)
(Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).

Subtask 32-31-00-081-051-A

F. Removal of the Safety Devices

CAUTION: REMOVE THE SAFETY STAY BEFORE YOU DO THE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION TESTS. DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE AIRCRAFT MOVES DURING THE TESTS.

(1) Remove the ground safety locks from the landing gear:

for the NLG, remove the pin-ground lock
for the MLG, remove the ground lock sleeve from each MLG lockstay actuator.

(2) Remove the safety stay at FR73/74.

4. Procedure
Subtask 32-31-00-720-052-A

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TRAVEL RANGES OF THE LANDING GEAR ARE CLEAR.

A. Functional Test of the Normal Extension and Retraction of the Landing Gear

NOTE: During the test procedure, monitor the retraction and extension times:

the retraction cycle (from the first door-uplock open to the last door-uplock closed) is between 10 and 15 seconds
the extension cycle (from the first door-uplock open to the last door-uplock closed) is between 15 and 21 seconds
the minimum flow capacity necessary from the ground hydraulic cart is 140 l.min (36.9838 USgal.mn).
