Operational Test of the FADEC on the Ground (with Engine Motoring) [CFMB]

TASK 73-29-00-710-040-B
Operational Test of the FADEC on the Ground (with Engine Motoring)

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE PARTS AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. USE APPLICABLE THERMAL GLOVES. THE ENGINE PARTS CAN STAY HOT FOR ONE HOUR AFTER SHUTDOWN AND CAN BURN YOU.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL ENGINE OPERATING AREAS ARE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. ALL RAMPS, TAXIWAYS, RUNWAYS AND OTHER OPERATING AREAS MUST BE VERY CLEAN TO PREVENT BAD DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, AIRCRAFT AND PERSONS IN THE AREA.

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO STOP THE FAN FROM TURNING BY HAND. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO THE PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDING GEAR GROUND SAFETIES AND THE WHEEL CHOCKS ARE IN POSITION. MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

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: - SEE THE APPLICABLE FIGURE FOR WIND LIMIT RESTRICTIONS WHEN THE ENGINE OPERATES.

NATURAL WINDS AND IRREGULAR FORCES FROM SUDDEN GUSTS INCREASE THE DANGEROUS AREA.
DO NOT GO ABOVE OPEN COWLING LIMITATIONS WHEN YOU DO THE TESTS.
THE OPERATOR MUST FULLY KNOW ALL THE OPERATING LIMITS AND PROCEDURES BEFORE THE ENGINE OPERATES.

CAUTION: DO NOT REPLACE AN IDLE LEAK CHECK BY A MOTORING TEST. YOU CANNOT DETECT POTENTIAL OIL LEAKS WITH A MOTORING TEST. IF YOU DO A MOTORING TEST INSTEAD OF AN IDLE LEAK CHECK, YOU CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE. IF A HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUPPLY IS CONNECTED, THERE IS A RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE PUMPS.

A. Safety Precautions

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO STOP THE FAN FROM TURNING BY HAND. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO THE PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.

CAUTION: REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVERS FROM THE PROBES BEFORE YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE. IF YOU DO NOT REMOVE THEM, THE PROBES AND PROTECTIVE COVERS CAN BECOME DAMAGED OR BURNED.

(1) Remove the protective covers from the probes and sensors before you do this procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 10-11-00-555-014).
(2) Make sure that:

the engine,
the air intake,
the exhaust areas,
are clear of equipment, persons, tools, blockages, all unwanted objects and ice.

(3) Make sure that the fan parts and the engine inlet area are in the correct condition. Make a full inspection of the fan blades.
(4) Examine the external surfaces of the cowl. Make sure that there are no leaks of fuel and oil at the drain ports.

B. Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).

Subtask 73-29-00-860-050-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

C. Do a check of the Aircraft Condition:
(1) On the lower display unit of the ECAM system on the ENG page:
(a) make sure that the oil level is correct.
1 If it is necessary, do the servicing of the tank (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-002).
(2) If you let the engine stay open to freezing rain, ice or snow ; make sure that the fan turns freely.
(a) If the fan does not turn freely, you must make the engine warm with hot air. You must do this step before an engine motoring.
(3) Make sure that the hydraulic reservoirs are pressurized (Ref. AMM TASK 29-14-00-614-002).
(4) Make sure that the level of the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir is correct. If necessary, fill the reservoir (Ref. AMM TASK 12-12-29-611-001) or (Ref. AMM TASK 12-12-29-611-002).

NOTE: You can do this test with the thrust reverser doors in open position (35 deg.) (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-00-010-040).
