Maintenance Message On Status SD

Below are sample of maintenance message you will find on Status SD:

Normally MEL applied for this message during transit if no other significant message shows on ECAM or PFR. Below are good to know if you use Airbusworld TSM.

TSM Mainpage:

 From here you require another message to proceed with TSM

On the MEL page, there is note that for AIRBLEED Maintenance Message which required to carry a check before dispatch. A maintenance procedure to be carry out to check on CFDS report. Sample show no Faults found:

Useful Applications

There are some web sites and applications on the mobile phone which can enable us to have quick recall or refresh of the particular aircraft systems. One of the popular is this Mobile Airlinestech. You can add it to your phone shortcut for easy access, but you required an active ISP to access it. Below are some steps show how to add to your Android homepage.

STEP 1: Go to Chrome and type http://mobile.airlinetechs.com/ . After that select the menu key.
STEP 2: A list will show and than select Add to Home Screen.
STEP 3: Put any name you want to name the shortcut, as default is Mobile Tech.
After that you will see the shortcut with the icon show on your Home Screen. 

An example of what you gonna get inside the web:

Another very useful application is MEL calculator. Well I still count by myself to double every time. You can get it on the PlayStore on Android. As you can see at the playstore, there are few applications for MEL calculator, you can try it out and make sure to double check the date of expiry because some are not accurate.

Below is the example:

AUTO FLT FCU 1 FAULT

Pilot Entry : AUTO FLT FCU 1 FAULT
PFR:

Fault Confrmation:

Reference to TSM, do fault confirmation, than fault isolation. FCU reset procedure can be carry out as per TSM-24-81-00-810-802-A. (Please refer to full TSM procedures, this is just to show what is going on. Different TSM will have different procedures.)

If reset unsuccessful, we can apply MEL.

MEL Entries:

Note: No dispatch is FCU 1+2 Fault

MEL Items:

Different aircraft config might have different requirements, always refer to the approved and latest maintenance data.

Flight Control Unit Description: 

This description only deals with the central part of the Flight Control Unit (FCU). In general, the FCU provides the short term interface between the crew and the Flight Management and Guidance System (FMGS). The FCU is the main interface to engage functions and guidance modes and to select parameters.

NOTE: In fact, there is one FCU panel which controls two identical processing channels: FCU 1 and FCU 2. Only one channel is active at a time, the other is in standby. If both channels fail, all FCU controls are inoperative: A/THR, AP/Flight Director (FD) 1 and AP/FD 2 are not available.

Function of Skin Exchanger Isolation Valve:

- In closed circuit configuration, the extracted avionics equipment air goes through the skin exchanger isolation valve into the skin heat exchanger to be cooled. Than this air is blown into the avionics equipment again. 

Maintenance Procedure: 
A. Opening Procedure of the Skin-Exchanger Isolation Valve
1. Disconnect the connector 24HQ-A from the skin-exchanger isolation valve 24HQ.
2. Put CAP - BLANKING on the disconnected electrical connectors.
3. Keep the electrical cable and its connector near the valve.
4. Fully open the skin-exchanger isolation valve 24HQ with the manual mechanism.
5. On the bottom part of the upper ECAM display unit: -The VENT AVNCS SYS FAULT warning comes into view.
Ignore this warning. On the ECAM control panel: -Push the CLR key.

B. Do the Operational Test of the AEVC from MCDU (Ref: AMM 21-26-00-710-001)
NOTE: Make sure that all the fault messages shown are related to the fault of the skin-exchanger isolation valve. If other messages are shown, refer to the related MMEL valve item.
