Subtask 34-36-00-710-056-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Operational Test of the GPS

NOTE: During the test, ignore all the indications shown on the NDs (GPS PRIMARY LOST included).

NOTE: The actions and the results of this procedure occur on the MCDU used.

ACTION	RESULT
Test of GPS data acquisition with IRS aligned
1.On the MCDU: Push the DATA mode key.	On the MCDU: The DATA INDEX page comes into view.
2.On the MCDU, on the DATA INDEX page: Push the line key adjacent to the GPS MONITOR indication.	On the MCDU: The GPS MONITOR page comes into view: NOTE: If you do this test after replacement of the MMR, one minute to twenty minutes are necessary to get the GPS data on the MCDU. The NAV indication is shown below the MODE indication. The number of satellites tracked is shown below the SAT indication. The related values come into view below the GPS POSITION, GPS ALT, MERIT and GS indications: . The GPS 1 and the GPS 2 POSITION indications give the latitude/longitude of the aircraft. The values of the two GPS positions are approximately the same.
3.On the overhead panel, on the ADIRS CDU: Set the DISPLAY DATA selector switch to PPOS.	On the MCDU, on the GPS MONITOR page: The GPS position data are approximately the same as the ADIRS position data on the ADIRS CDU.
4.Open the circuit breakers 42RT1 and 42RT2.	On the upper ECAM DU: The NAV GPS 1 FAULT and NAV GPS 2 FAULT warnings come into view (the NAV ILS 1 FAULT and NAV ILS 2 FAULT warnings are shown too).
	On the MCDU, on the GPS MONITOR page: . All GPS data below the GPS POSITION, GPS ALT, TTRK, GS and MERIT indications for the two GPSs, are cleared.
5.Close the circuit breakers 42RT1 and 42RT2.	On the upper ECAM DU: The NAV GPS 1 FAULT and NAV GPS 2 FAULT warnings go out of view (the NAV ILS 1 FAULT and NAV ILS 2 FAULT warnings go out of view too).
	On the MCDU, on the GPS MONITOR page: The INIT indication comes into view below the MODE indication for some seconds. Then the ACQ indication comes into view below the MODE indication. The number below the SAT indication increases (number of satellites tracked). After 75 to 300 seconds, the ACQ indication goes out of view and the NAV indication comes into view below the MODE indication. The related values come into view below the GPS POSITION, GPS ALT, MERIT and GS indications.
