Low-Range Leak Test of the Standby Pneumatic Circuits


TASK 34-21-00-790-001-A
Low-Range Leak Test of the Standby Pneumatic Circuits


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 SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES ARE IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
  • THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
  • THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
  • THE LANDING GEAR AND RELATED DOORS
  • COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
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.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO INSTRUMENTS, OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN YOU DO THE TEST:
  • THE PRESSURES SET MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 1050 hPa (31 in Hg) OR LESS THAN 115 hPa (3.39 in Hg)
  • CHANGES IN STATIC AND TOTAL PRESSURES MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 6000 FEET/MINUTE
  • DO NOT SUDDENLY OPEN LINES TO AMBIENT AIR WHILE THE PRESSURE GENERATOR IS CONNECTED.
CAUTION: THE TOTAL PRESSURE IN THE PITOT SYSTEM MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN THE STATIC PRESSURE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PITOT AND THE STATIC PRESSURE CIRCUITS MUST NEVER BE MORE THAN 368 hPa (10.86 in Hg).
CAUTION: DURING THE LEAK TEST, SLOWLY BALANCE THE PRESSURE IN THE STANDBY STATIC AND PITOT CIRCUITS ON THE GROUND PRESSURE GENERATOR. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, DAMAGE TO THE AIR SPEED INDICATOR WILL OCCUR.

D. Connection of the Ground Pressure Generator
   (1) Remove the slip on covers from the static probe and the pitot probe of the standby system.
   (2) Connect the ALT34100001 PITOT AND STATIC TEST SET to one standby static-probe with the STATIC PORT ADAPTER from the ADAPTER STATIC PROBE.
   (3) Connect the ALT34100001 PITOT AND STATIC TEST SET to the standby pitot probe with the ADAPTER PITOT PROBE.
NOTE: The ADAPTER PITOT PROBE is on the drain hole. Thus it is not necessary to seal the drain hole of the pitot probe.
   (4) Seal the opposite standby static-probe with a piece of plastic and with the ADAPTER STATIC COVER from the ADAPTER STATIC PROBE.
   (5) Turn the vane of the Angle Of Attack (AOA) sensor 3FP3 to the high stop position.
     (a) Maintain the vane in position with colored adhesive tape.

E. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
   (1) Do the EIS start procedure (PFD only) (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).
   (2) Make sure that the flaps are in the fully retracted position (Ref. AMM TASK 27-50-00-866-009).
   (3) On the ADIRS CDU, set the OFF/NAV/ATT selector switches to NAV.
   (4) Start the ground pressure generator.
4. Procedure
Subtask 34-21-00-790-050-K ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Leak Test
NOTE: The input parameters for the ground test (speed and altitude) and the values shown on the cockpit displays are different because of the sum of the tolerances of the air data circuit (ground test unit, Air Data Modules (ADM), Air Data/Inertial Reference Units (ADIRU)).
   (1) For the aircraft with the Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) function:
  • The Primary Flight Display (PFD) altitude value given in the test is not corrected with the trim adjustment value.
  • Thus, it is necessary to correct the PFD altitude value with the trim adjustment value given on a placard installed on the rack of ADIRU3.
ACTION
RESULT
1.On the ground pressure generator do the pre-test that is given below for a static pressure of 691 hPa and an impact pressure of 59.3 hPa (or a total pressure of 750.3 hPa). This pre-test is less accurate than the leak test.

2.On SWITCHING panel 8VU, set the AIR DATA selector switch to the CAPT ON 3 (or the F/O ON 3) position.
On the CAPT (or F/O) PFD, the indications from ADIRU3 are shown.
Make sure that:
  • The CAPT (or F/O) PFD shows 10 177 ft +/- 30 ft and 188 kts +/- 3kts.
  • The standby altimeter and the standby airspeed indicator show 10 216 ft +/- 83 ft, 3113.83 m +/- 25 m and 189 kts +/- 5 kts.
After 5 minutes:
  • The change of altitude must not be more than 370 ft or 112.8 m.
  • The change of speed must not be more than 10 Kts.
3.On the standby altimeter and on the metric altimeter, set a barometric pressure of 1013 hPa.
On the CAPT (or F/O) PFD, the indications from ADIRU3 are shown.
4.On the ground pressure generator, slowly balance the pressure in the standby static and pitot circuits:
  • Set a static pressure of 462.4 hPa or 13.65 in.Hg. (or 20 000 ft).
  • Set an impact pressure of 179.1 hPa or 5.28 in.Hg. (or a total pressure of 641.5 hPa or 18.94 in.Hg.) (or 320 kts).
  • Make sure that:
    - The CAPT (or F/O) PFD shows 20 918 ft +/- 30 ft and 335 kts +/- 3 kts.
    - The standby altimeters and the standby airspeed indicator show 20 166 ft +/- 135 ft, 6146.59 m +/- 41 m and 323 kts +/- 5 kts.
5.Close the electrovalves to isolate the static and pitot circuits of the aircraft from the ground pressure generator.
After 5 minutes:
  • Make sure that the change of altitude is not more than 500 ft or 152.4 m.
    After 10 minutes:
  • Make sure that the change of speed is not more than 20 Kts.
6.On the ground pressure generator:
  • Open the electrovalves and slowly balance the pressure in the standby static and pitot circuits.
  • Set a static pressure of 500 hPa for one minute.
  • Set a static pressure of 575 hPa for one minute.
  • Set a static pressure of 650 hPa and a total pressure of 700 hPa for one minute.
  • Set a static pressure of 725 hPa and a total pressure of 775 hPa for one minute.
  • Set a static pressure of 800 hPa and a total pressure of 850 hPa for one minute.
  • Set a static pressure of 900 hPa and a total pressure of 950 hPa for one minute.
  • Open the electrovalves to get the atmospheric pressure.

7.Stop the ground pressure generator.
