Examine the Thrust Reverser C-Duct Non-Locking Actuator for Hydraulic Fluid Leakage [IAE]

TASK 78-32-48-200-010-A
Examine the Thrust Reverser C-Duct Non-Locking Actuator for Hydraulic Fluid Leakage

1. Reason for the Job
This TASK supplies hydraulic fluid leakage limits for the left and the right c-duct non-locking actuator. Leakage can occur from the forward end cap/jack head interface or rod end seals. A small amount of leakage is acceptable for a limited continued service.

4. Procedure
Subtask 78-32-48-010-057-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Extend and retract the translating sleeve for one minute with the power on (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-00-710-041)

Subtask 78-32-48-040-053-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

B. Deactivate the Thrust Reverser

(1) Deactivate the thrust reverser Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (Ref. AMM TASK 78-30-00-040-012).

Subtask 78-32-48-210-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

C. Check for Leaks using the Following Limits

	FOR NORMAL OPERATION	FOR DISPATCH TO AVOID DELAY
Static Seals	None	2 Drops per 10 minutes
Rod seal (system pressurized)	1 Drop per minute	30 Drops per minute
Rod seal(in operation)	1 Drop per cycle	2 Drops per cycle

NOTE: If an aircraft has component leaks or system leaks (Ref. AMM TASK 29-00-00-790-001) which are more than the normal operation limit or system leak rate limit, aircraft dispatch is permitted if:

component leak rate is lower than the dispatch limit
one hydraulic circuit only has component leaks more than the maximum limit
for one system, the quantity of the leaks is less than the dispatch limit authorized for the circuit
the hydraulic reservoirs are full
you do the above checks again before each flight

(1) Reactivate the Thrust Reverser
(a) Reactivate the thrust reverser Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (Ref. AMM TASK 78-30-00-440-012).
