EXPLANATION AND USE OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1 - MAINTENANCE MANUAL COMPOSITION


Each Manual comprises :

A - A title page identifying the publication.

B A list of effective pages which is the record of all the pages making up the Manual. It determines
the Manual breakdown.

C A list of modifications included in the Manual. This list which is specific to each manual records
only those modifications which affect the Manual concerned.

D - A table of contents which lists the Sections making up the Manual.


E The various Sections making up the Manual.

2- BREAKDOWN OF A MAINTENANCE MANUAL SECTION

Three different kinds of «Sections» can be defined in a Maintenance Manual depending on


whether the Manual deals with an aircraft system or special information.

A Common Sections in a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.

Each of these Sections is subdivided into 9 Sub-Sections which are assigned an unchanging title
and sequence number :

Sectioifi Sub-Section title

7 -Storage-Preservation-Transportation
8 - Repair

NOTE:
(1 ) Maintenance and lubrication are covered by Sub-Section 6.
(2) In each Manual, Sub-Section 7 deals with the matter of preservation-packaging and transportation
relating to the individual items of the system to which the Manual is applicable and which forms the
subject of an incorporated documentation. As concerns the complete aircraft, this matter is dealt with
in the «GENERAL» Manual.
(3) Sub-Section 8 covers- the reconditioning operations for the items of the system to which the
Manual is devoted. The structural repairs of the aircraft form the subject of a separate Manual :
«STRUCTURAL REPAIRS».

B - GENERAL INFORMATION Section of a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.


Its breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with an
aircraft system.
The structure of this Section is «as required» and this Section deals with all the matters which are
common to the other Manual Sections.

This Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.
C Sections of a Manual dealing with general or specific information.

Their breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with
an aircraft system.

The structure of these Sections is «as required» in accordance with general or technical information
forming the subject of the Section.
Each Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.

3- ARRANGEMENT OF A COMMON SECTION IN A MANUAL DEALING WITH A SYSTEM


A - Sub-Section 0 - GENERAL
This is an introductory Sub-Section which gives the general principles of the functional system
covered by the Section. A schematic diagram is usually attached to this Sub-Section.

B - Sub-Section 1 - DESCRIPTION - OPERATION

This Sub-Section is arranged as follows :

(1 ) A table of components, lists all the units, accessories and equipment items of the system concerned,
in the logical descriptive sequence. It gives the essential characteristics of these equipment items, their
function in the system concerned, their location within the aircraft and it indicates whether the
relevant documentation is separate or incorporated.
Layout illustrations are usually attached to this Sub-Section, which also refers to the functional diagram.
The purpose of the table of components is to clarify the system description, by specifying the purpose
and the characteristics of the various components.
In this table, the units, accessories or equipment items are identified by :
- the reference designation for those equipment items which have an electrical function.
- a sequential index number (1 to X) when the item is not assigned any reference designation.
Note that the values shown in the table of components are rated values. When tolerances apply to
these values, they are always given in the Sub-Section which deals with maintenance.

(2) A text portion which describes the system operation in detail. This refers to the functional diagram.
NOTE The detailed description and operation of the individual equipment items are given in their
:
separatedocumentation or, if applicable, in the documentation known as the incorporated
documentation (see below).

(3) The description-operation part of the «incorporated documentation» for some equipment items is
contained in pages or groups of pages which are independent and placed next to the description and
operation of the system to which they belong.

The «incorporated documentation» is given in the same order as it appears in the table of
components; it is illustrated whenever necessary and the internal index numbers are given in the
sequence 1 to X for each component, independently of the index numbers shown in the table of
components.

C - Sub-Sections 2 to 8 :

These Sub-Sections give all technical information on the maintenance of the functional system
which forms the subject of the Section.

(1 ) Each Maintenance operation is described in the Sub-Section corresponding to its category.

At the head of each group of pages which describe details of an operation, the following
information will be found :

(a) Equipment required which lists the tools and ground support equipment required to perform the
operation. Since the tools are grouped in homogeneous kits, only the tool kit to be used is specified.
However, the tools are indicated in the text by :
- the dimension across flats (in mm) for the spanner to be used when standard tools are concerned,
unless a specific spanner must be used.
- the part number when special tools or special ground support equipment are concerned.

(b) Materials. The standard designation of the materials used, or the commercial designation if the
former is not available, is shown under this heading.
However, the. standard designation suffixes are shown only 'in the «list of various products and
materials» in the «GENERAL» Manual.
If only one material is used during the operation, its designation is not recalled in the text which details
the operation.

(c) Spares. Only the spares which are systematically required are shown by their names supplemented,
ifnecessary, by an indication in order to avoid any confusion in their location. Reference shall be
made to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown to find their part numbers. The only exception to this rule is
the standard hardware, for which the standard part number is shown.

(2) The man-hours required for the performance of the operation are not given in the description of
the operation, but in the table of periodic maintenance operations included in Manual 01 «GENERAL».

4- IDENTIFICATION ON INSPECTION DOORS

The figures showing the location of the inspection doors, are part of Manual 01 «GENERAL», to
which reference should be made.
The door numbering principles are as follows :

A Sub-assembly on which a door is located.

- Fuselage - the number consists of four digits.


- Wings - the number consists of letter V followed by three digits.
- Stabilator - the number consists of letter E followed by three digits.
- Fin - the number consists of letter D followed by three digits.

B Fuselage doors

The first two digits show the number of the frame forward of the door, the next two digits are the
clock position of the door within the fuselage section in which it is located :
- example : fuselage door between F.29 and 30 in the middle part of the R/H side : door 29-03.

BREGUET AVIATION^^^' ^^>
^^^^^^^K. Restricted

C Wing doors

The first digit locates the door in relation to the rib which precedes the door from the aircraft
centreline to the wing tip.-
The last two digits indicate in which of the following areas is the door :
1 to 29 - leading edge

30 to 59 - centre wing box


60 to 90 - trailing edge.

The door numbering direction is from the wing root to the wing tip and from the leading edge to
the trailing edge.
Even numbers apply to the upper surface doors and odd numbers apply to the lower surface doors.
- example : door located between ribs 1 and 2 on the upper surface within the centre wing box :
V138.

D Fin doors. Same principle as for the wings

The odd numbers apply to the L/H side and the even numbers apply to the R/H side.

E - Stabilator doors. Same principle as for the wings.

5- DIAGRAM DRAWING RULES

There are three kinds of diagrams :


- schematic diagrams
functional diagrams
- wiring diagrams.

A Schematic diagram. The schematic diagram is drawn in block form, showing the main component
interconnections, illustrating the functional principle of the system and the connections to the other
systems or functions.

B Functional diagram. The functional diagram represents all the units, accessories and equipment
items making up the system and their functional connections. The detailed operation of the function
can be followed on that diagram.
The functional diagrams are usually shown in inoperative condition (i.e. no pressure, no power, aircraft
on its wheels). The complex functions may be illustrated by several functional diagrams associated with
the main operating phases.
The equipment inside is represented in the form of a block or symbol. For the actual equipment
illustration it is necessary to refer to the relevant publication.
The functional diagrams show the terminals except for the relays, on/off switches, selector switches and
indicator lights.
The functional diagrams define the type of the information conveyed. Disconnections and grounding
connections are not shown unless an aircraft boundary is concerned.

(1) Test connectors on equipment. The test points are shown by the associated terminal number
which is encircled and hooked to the tested circuit. If there are several test connectors, the reference
designation of the connector to which the point belongs is written next to the test point.

(2) Aircraft test connectors. These are shown with their terminal numbers and reference designations
in the same manner as the other aircraft wiring connectors.

C Wiring diagram. The wiring diagrams form the subject of Manual 16 to which reference should be
made.

- the Manual number in the top R/H corner.
- the date of issue of the page in the bottom L/H corner.
- the page number in the bottom R/H corner.
- if applicable, the technical definition of the page just on top of the date of issue. This shows the
number of the modification applied.

The page number consists of two groups of digits separated by a dash :


(1) The Section number
(2) The page number within the Section.

This page number is made up as follows :


- a first digit shows the Sub-Section number (0 to 8).
the next two digits show the page rank within the Sub-Section (01 to 99).

B The figures are assigned numbers within a Section (1 to x).

7- CROSS-REFERENCES

8- UNITS OF MEASURE USED

The units of measure are written as follows :

«International measuring system (IMS) units (converted values, possible complementary units)».

The converted values are given in the order : British units and US units.

Whenever converted units of measure are suspect, it is mandatory to refer to the international
measuring system (IMS) unit of measure.

In some specific cases, for which the units of measure are taken from standards, the units of
measure remain those of the IMS international system except for US Standards where the units are US
units.

In addition, characteristics specific to some equipment are given in IMS units (example : aircraft
dimensions, etc.).

REVISION OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1- PUBLICATION DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE

This development is performed in two steps :

A Issue of supplements which are temporarily incorporated in the publications.


B - Actual revision which permanently incorporates information in the publications. Such information
may be newly issued or previously published in supplements (replacement of pages or addition of new
pages).

2- REVISION TO PUBLICATIONS

A - Procedure

Revision involves two operations :


- insertion of new pages and replacement of modified pages.
-systematic replacement of the title page and list of effective pages which serves as a guide to the
insertion of revised pages.

B Page numbering

First case - Addition of one or more new pages following the last page of a Sub-Section.
The pages are numbered in the normal order.

Second case Insertion of one or more new pages between two existing pages.
The new page(s) bears the number of the preceding page followed by a capital letter, with the exception
of letters 1, 0 and Z.
The letters are chosen in every case so as to provide for maximum further insertions unless the initial
numbering sequence is changed.
The principle is illustrated in the table below :

Example :
Assuming that several pages are to be inserted in succession between pages 6 and 7. The first one
will be numbered 6M, the second one 6F if it is to be placed before 6M, or 6T if it is to be placed after
6M. Similarly, if it is necessary to insert a third page later on, its number will be 6F or 6T, 6C or 6J, 6Q
or 6W as applicable.

Assuming that the following are to be inserted simultaneously :


-2 pages : they will be numbered 6H and 6R.
- 3 pages : they will be numbered 6F, 6M and 6T.

Third case - Insertion of a new page following application of an official modification. The principle
consists in showing up the two states simultaneously in the publication, i.e. post- and pre-modif ication.

(a) The modification can be inserted according to the principle stated above without altering the page
numbering sequence : There will be a new page which supersedes the preceding one.

(b) As a result of the insertion of both states (post- and pre-modification), if the number of pages
increases, the solution will be as follows :
both the pre- and post-modification pages will bear the same number. «MOD...X» will be shown
on top of the date on the modified page (this means modification X applied). Both pages will be shown
in the list of effective pages with.

Remark : These two pages may have different dates.

(c) Where a complete paragraph or a Section is deeply affected by a modification (most of the pages
changed), the complete paragraph which is modified will be found first and followed by the complete
paragraph which is not modified. The table of contents will list both paragraphs (or Sections).

The unmodified pages will be deleted during a further revision only when the modification has
been applied to all aircraft.

C Identification of revised text portions

The modifications to the text, insertion or deletion, are identified by a vertical line in the margin.

Those pages which are entirely changed are identified by a vertical line in the margin on a level
with the date of issue.

TRANSLATION OF REPETITIVE ABBREVIATIONS

To avoid the necessity of creating English versions of certain illustrations the translations of the
legends have been added in italic script and the standard french abbreviations have been unchanged.

Furthermore, to ensure ready reference, the same abbreviations have been used in the parts of the
text which correspond to such illustrations.

A key to the standard french abbreviations is given below :

AR («arrière») - Rear L («lisse») = Stringer


AT («attaque») = Drive Lg («longeron») = Spar
AV («avant») = Front Lgt («longeronnet»)= False spar
C («cadre») = F.rame M («médiane») = Middle
Cst («constant») = Constant N («nervure») = Rib
e («épaisseur») = Thickness R («rail») = Track

2- STANDARD FASTENER MARKING

A General. Marking identifies the material, through its characteristics of use and (possibly) its high
temperature capabilities.

B Marking principles

The material, with some exceptions, is identified by two standard code letters given in chapter 1 ,
para. D.

This identification marking also indicates that the threads are in accordance with ISO
Specification.

Limit temperatures above 425° C for use are indicated by the digit of the hundreds of degrees of
the maximum temperature in degrees Celsius.

(1) Special cases :

a) Screws :

The cross-recessed head screws are not marked when they are made of the most commonly used
steel grade (35NC6) (BC).

For the screws that cannot be easily marked on account of the shape or the little space available,
the two letters may be replaced by a simpler symbol.

(b) Nuts :

For standard nuts, made of the most commonly used materials, the letter marking defined above is
not essential since the nuts are differentiated by their shapes, weights and colours ; the ISO thread is
howeyer always indicated either by letter M or m, or by the symbol « » marked on one flat before
cutting.

Material identification is marked only when corrosion-resisting steel is concerned.

SAFETY MEASURES TO BE OBSERVED FOR PERSONNEL


PROTECTION

1 - PURPOSE
This sheet summarizes the main safety measures to be applied or complied with when working on
the aircraft so as to avoid body injuries.

2 - ARMED AND LOADED AIRCRAFT


All necessary arrangements should be made in presence or with agreement of the armament expert
and in any case after complying with safety measures (See 02-0).
Following instructions shall be MANDATORILY complied with :

- On ARMED aircraft, ALL OPERATIONS (trouble shooting or preparation for use) are
FORBIDDEN.
- On LOADED aircraft, all operations (trouble shooting or preparation for use) shall only be
carried out after making sure that no armament circuit is energized.

WARNING:
THE EMERGENCY JETTISON CIRCUITS ARE DIRECTLY SUPPLIED FROM THE BATTERY.
PUSHING ANY OF THE EMERGENCY JETTISON BUTTONS WILL CAUSE THE INITIATORS
TO FIRE EVEN IF THE BATTERY SWITCH IS OFF.

3- PRESSURIZED HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS


The ground staff should be informed and conscious of the dangers encountered when working on
the aircraft under such conditions. It is then important to take all relevant safety measures, particularly
in areas swept by moving parts. These areas should be clear and perfectly located.
A - Doors and airbrakes
- Opening and closing of undercarriage doors and airbrake panels are subject to very strict safety
measures (See 02-0).
Each system features a «GROUND» safety switch.
- Operation is electro-hydraulic and is obtained when the three following conditions are met :
- hydraulic system 1 pressurized
- D.C. mains switched on.
- «DOORS-DIVE BK» ground safety switches on «FLIGHT» position.

WARNING ;

IN ALL CASES, OPEN DOOR 17-04 AND SET «DOORS-DIVE BK» GROUND SAFETY
SWITCHES TO «GROUND» POSITION.

B Flight controls

DO NOT WALK - DO NOT STAY UNDER AND ON CONTROL SURFACES (SPOILERS- TAIL
UNIT) - DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ON MOVING PARTS.
-All works in compartments through which the flight controls (rods, bellcranks, servo-control...)
run as well as all disconnections shall be prohibited when hydraulic systems are pressurized. If-for
trouble shooting or adjusting purposes - it is necessary to work on the controls, it is then recommended
to avoid any wrong operation and take all relevant safety measures.

- Pitch control.
- If doors 36-03-1 and 36-09-1 are not installed, all operations in compartments are prohibited.

Roll control.
-
Spoilers (on wing upper surface) operate together with the ailerons : USING PROTECTORS,
-
DELIMIT THE SPOILER OPERATING AREA so as to avoid any accident.
C Hydraulic system

- Comply with precautions to be taken when working on hydraulic systems (See 07-0).

4- TAKE-OFF AND LANDING SYSTEM

- Only work on brakes when the latter are cold enough (risk of burns)
- In case of brake unit fire :
- Come near the wheels perpendicularly to the spindle (risk of bursting).
- Comply with safety measures relative to brake unit fire (See 02-0).

5- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

A Personnel protection against stray currents.

(1 ) Aircraft grounding inside hangars.

In order to prevent accidents due to electrocution, each work station shall be fitted with a ground
connector used to dissipate towards the ground line inside the hangar, the stray currents generated by
defective electrical ground support equipment.

(2) Maintenance equipment.

Ground support equipment and maintenance equipment using 11 5/200 V-400 Hz voltages or
industrial frequency voltages should be connected to the ground and the aircraft. The latter shall be
grounded with utmost care.

B Utilization of hand tools.

When working on the aircraft, it is FORBIDDEN to use electrical hand tools energized under
voltages other than very low voltage.

C Operations on electrical system

Only use insulated tools.

6- POWER PLANT

A - Personnel protection during ENGINE run-ups

During said run-ups, the ground mechanics are subject to the engine noise which causes fatigue
resulting in reflexes slackening and slowness to react.

AA
01-74 Restricted 0-202
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT /L-i*-ar-\l
BREGUET AVIATION _xZZ£, .
MIRAGE F
Restricted MANUAL 01

It is then advisable to comply with following elementary instructions :


- Personal protection against noises by using special anti-noise helmets.
- Protection against vibrations (engine A/B) by using abdominal belts.
-Compliance with location of danger' areas (suction - ejection and rotating parts) and also
(see 02-0) :
- engine air intakes,
additional air intake,
- jet pipe,
- alternator ventilation.
Only stay under and on the aircraft or in U/C wells for the time required for inspection or
-
adjustment.
- Do not touch air conditioning pipes.
- Do not carry out any disconnection.

B Fuel and pressurization systems

(1 ) Prior to any work, drop the pressure in the systems

(2) Working inside a tank

- Ventilate the tank before and while the specialist is working.

WARNING :
- ONLY USE COLD LIGHT SOURCES.
- ANY REMAINING FUEL MUST BE MOPPED UP WITH NATURAL SPONGES OR COTTON
CLOTHS.
-THE USE OF PAPER TOWELS IS PROHIBITED WHEREVER THERE MIGHT BE FUEL
VAPOURS.

7 - HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
- Comply with precautions to be taken when working on hydraulic systems (see 07-0).

8- PILOT ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS

A Oxygen system

- The use of oxygen may be dangerous and the existing hazards should not be overlooked. Oxygen
in itself is not a dangerous element but it improves the combustion and risks become greater when
oxygen concentration in the air increases.
- When working on oxygen systems, it is mandatory to comply with the elementary safety measures
(see 02-0 and 09-0).
- People working on oxygen systems should never forget the following :

OXYGEN + FATS = EXPLOSION

- Do not work on liquid oxygen systems unless you are thoroughly familiarized or under the
supervision of qualified specialists.
- Wear a special protective suit when handling liquid oxygen.
- Never touch pipes or couplings through which liquid oxygen flows with bare hands or any part
of the body not efficiently protected.
- If liquid oxygen is spilled on clothes, take them off immediately. If the body comes into contact
with liquid oxygen or if any part of the body is suspected to be frozen or cooled, rapidly thaw the
affected part preferably by immersion or bath in water at a temperature slightly higher than the normal
body temperature (40-45°C). After this fast thawing, loosely wrap the wound in dry and clean linen
and call for a doctor. Do not put anything other than a clean and dry dressing on the wound.
- Do not authorize smokers, open flames, sparks or matches in areas where liquid oxygen is being
handled.

- During oxygen filling, do not carry out maintenance or servicing operations which may introduce
inadvertently fire sources or combustibles.
Oxygen jets should always be directed far from persons, various components of the bench,
ground and aircraft.

B - Pilot ejection system


Safety pin rope installed (See 02-0).
Any operation on the ejection seat or canopy embrittlement installation should be
-
MANDATORILY performed by the armament specialist.

9 - PITOT STATIC SYSTEM - PROBE HEATING


Touching pitot probes or incidence probe may cause burns, because said probes can be hot due to
tests or after a flight.

10 EMITTERS

A - Radiation (See Figure 1 )

(1 ) It is not advisable fo stay in front of very powerful SHF emitters (radar), especially when the aerial
is fixed.
Airborne radar danger areas are illustrated in the figure.
Because of eye accident hazards, it is forbidden to stay in front of the aircraft during laser firing.
The safety area to be observed is contained within an angle of 20° in front of the aircraft. It should be
marked out by panels «DANGER - LASER LIGHT».

(2) It is forbidden to introduce and handle explosives (stores and initiators) within the radar radiation
areas (a minimum distance of 16 m (17 yd) shall be observed for airborne radar, in the 20° radiation
area)

12 -PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN USING SOME PRODUCTS

A- Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) : TEFLON-FLUON

When used up to 260°C, PTFE is not dangerous. However, cigarettes and tobacco may be
contaminated by PTFE dust or dispersed dried PTFE. Utilization of cigarettes and tobacco is therefore
prohibited when working with PTFE, it is even forbidden to keep cigarettes and tobacco in the pockets.

For these same reasons, all persons shall wash hands before smoking.

B Sealing products : PR sealant

PR sealants can be handled without danger, taking the minimum precautions. As a component part
of the activator is immediately absorbed by the epiderm, avoid any direct contact with the skin and
specially with open wounds. Also avoid to ingest sealing products. Wash hands before smoking or
eating. If the activator has been in contact with the skin, wash with hot water.

01-74 Restricted 0-207
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT tLJ>-^,-^L
BREGUET AVIATION^-^P3^^^^
MIRAGE F
^&£*^^> Restricted MANUAL 01

When applying sealant, correctly ventilate or use breathing masks. Avoid to inhale the vapours for
long or frequent periods. As PR sealants strongly adhere to the various materials, they also adhere to
the skin. Therefore, in order to avoid difficulties for removing the sealant spread on the hands :
- Use polyethylene gloves for coarse worksteps, i.e. which do not require a great skill.
- For delicate work normally wash hands before using the product, then apply a slight coat of
cream DERMOCIF to be spread on the epiderm by lightly massaging so as to allow the cream to
impregnate the epiderm efficiently. Allow the- cream to dry for one or two minutes. Sealant no longer
adheres to the skin and can be removed by normal washing.

13 - REANIMATION METHOD
Any person involved with maintenance operations on an aircraft or next to an aircraft shall be
familiarized with the following regulations, both THEORETICALLY and PRACTICALLY. It is
everyone's DUTY to be ready to give first aid in order to prevent any loss of human lives. YOUR OWN
LIFE IS CONCERNED.

Generally, an electric shock DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY KILL. The victim can be SAVED, even
if HE DOES NOT BREATH ANY LONGER.

A- PRECAUTION TO BE OBSERVED : IMMEDIATELY CLEAR THE VICTIM FROM CONTACT


WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

Use non conductive and dry material (rubber gloves, cloth) to clear either the electric wire or the
victim. Never use metal or damp material. If voltage exceeds 1000 volts, cut off power supply and
provide for the victim's fall if he is hung-up.

If power supply cannot be suppressed, using an isolated stool, take a non conductive and dry pole
to clear the wire from the victim. Avoid any contact between the wire and the face or any other bare
parts of the victim. If the mouth of the victim is open and if it contains foreign matter (such as tobacco,
false teeth, etc..) remove them with the fingers.

Loosen the victim's clothing near his throat and his chest. Immediately start the artificial
respiration.

B Artificial respiration

Follow the indications given by the three sketches hereafter («mouth to mouth» procedure).

Continue the artificial respiration, without stopping, until spontaneous breathing starts again, or, if
transportation to the hospital is found necessary, continue artificial respiration during transportation
until a mechanical means of artificial respiration can be applied.

(1 ) Place the victim in the sleeping position, belly up, if possible on


a table level with the operator's hips or chest, nevertheless a hard
plane is not mandatory. The operator kneels ahead of the victim or
lies down by his side, if required.

(2) Place the head of the victim backwards so that he be hyper-


extended (position 1 ). Keep it in this position by pressing with one
hand on the victim's forehead and with the other hand on his chin.
Thus, the tongue of the victim will not stop his throat and the air can
pass freely into the respiratory tracts. The same result can be
obtained by putting the second hand under the victim's neck and
rather strongly pushing it upwards.

Position 1

(3) The operator, then, breathes in deeply, then applies his mouth,
widely open, round the victim's mouth (position 2), pressing to avoid
air leaks. Simultaneously, the operator stops the nostrils of the
victim with his cheek, therefore preventing the air from passing
through the nose. If it cannot be done, the operator shall pinch the
nostrils between finger and thumb of the hand which is applied on
the forehead, (a helper can do this).

(4) The operator, then, blows strongly into the mouth of the
victim, watching if possible, the thoracic expansion obtained.

Position 2

(5) When he has finished to blow, he takes his mouth from that of
the victim without moving his hands. The air comes out whilst the
chest depresses. (Breath can be heard by placing the ear close to the
victim's mouth).

(6) When the thorax of the victim is empty, the operator breathes
in again strongly and repeats the operation described in step 3, going
on with the artificial respiration cycle at a rate of 12 to 15 times per
minute. The first 10 insufflations in the victim's mouth shall,
however, be performed more rapidly.

REMARKS

A slight pressure against the victim's ribs applied by the operator or by a helper eases the breathing
out time.

For babies, the operator's mouth will cover both the mouth and the nose. Carefully blow and stop
blowing as soon as the thorax starts expanding. It is recommended to slightly press against the stomach
of the child to prevent air from entering.

If the operator finds water or vomit in the mouth of the victim, he shall immediately turn the
victim's head to the side so that the liquids can flow out, then, very quickly he cleans the mouth with
his fingers or a handkerchief. He then places the victim's head in the hyperextension position and
restarts the artificial respiration.

If, during the inspiration time the victim's thorax does not expand, check if the head is correctly
in the hyperextension position and the chin pushed upwards before starting insufflation again. In case
of unsuccess, make sure that no foreign matter obstructs the pharynx.

If it is not possible to lay the victim down, (in a boat, for example, or in small premises) kneel on
the right knee, the left foot being slightly forwards. Lay the back of the victim on the left thigh. Keep
the victim in this position by placing his right armpit over the operator's right elbow, whilst the right
hand lifts the chin and the left hand holds the head in the hyperextension position by pressing against
the victim's forehead. Make the insufflation in this position (position 3).

INSTRUCTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN WORKING


ON SYSTEMS

1 - PURPOSE

This sheet summarizes the general instructions to be observed when working on systems so as to
avoid damage to the material.

2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A - When removing equipment from A/C, refer to instructions given in the manual WEIGHING AND
BALANCING OF AIRCRAFT.

B - Whenever any repair or maintenance operation is performed on the installation with due regard to
the location of. the equipment or component to be removed and their environment, it is essential prior
to removal to blank off or mask all openings likely to give access to foreign matter in the adjacent areas.

C When taking down items of equipment or components, all removable fasteners of the screw type
such as screws, washers, nuts, etc. must be kept together with the associated equipment or else assorted
according to their location (frame ref. No., stringer ref. No.) in order to be able to check all their
numbers ; all missing fasteners must under any circumstances be collected before going on with the
removal.
Special care should therefore be taken on removing units of equipment or components from such
areas as structural boxes giving access to the flight controls, since they are difficult of access for
detecting and eliminating foreign matter.

D - When removing or installing equipment on a system, comply with following instructions :

- OPERATIONS SHALL BE CARRIED OUT ONCE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS ARE TURNED


OFF AND PRESSURE IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS IS DROPPED.
- use appropriate tools.
- protect the tires.
- if needed, drain the system concerned.
- loosen attachment clamps to provide for greater motion clearance as necessary. Do not hesitate
to remove components or items of equipment if this should facilitate the access.
-correctly blank all disconnected pipes and connectors to prevent foreign matter from entering
said components. Use appropriate blanking devices.
- blanking devices shall be selected in such a way that once installed, they prevent any connection
to the A/C systems or another equipment.

AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT /L->*^irvL.
BREGUET AVIATION^^F-V^^O
MIRAGE F
^C^^^^> Restricted MANUAL 01

This condition is practically met by using :


- outer blanking covers painted in glaring color, on ports used to connect the various items
of equipment,
- various protectors with head or collar of such a shape or size that they cannot be mistaken
for being part of the system,
- blanking devices designed to cover threaded connections and enabling to protect threads,
- streamers, if none of above conditions can be met.
- Equipment, pipes and electrical cables shall be handled with care. Check them for condition.

Before installation make sure that :


-
- there is no blanking device' or foreign matter inside ports before making final connections.
- the equipment or structural bonding surfaces are clean, free of paint, grease or any other
material.

- After installation, carry out the following :

- system drainage,
- check of system sealing,
- check of equipment mechanical clearances with respect to linkage travels,
- adjustments, as necessary,
- check of installation,
- locking.

E Closing of inspection doors

It is forbidden to close a door before the mechanic responsible for the inspection has examined
each compartment (no tools left, defective locking, discrepancies...) and given the order to close said
door.
- It is MANDATORY that multiple wrench M 31025 with female square drive be used to open or
close some doors such as : cockpits - lower and side bays. Advantages of this wrench are as follows :
- it can only be removed from the square drive if the door is correctly closed (two pins are
provided to impede extraction),
- when the door is locked, the wrench cannot remain in the square drive because it features
an internal spring used to eject it as soon as it is no longer held in position.

3- STRUCTURE AND AIRFRAME

-Do not clean titanium and titanium alloys with chlorinated products.
-When removing or reinstalling the pressure sealed inspection doors of the tanks, it is compulsory
to comply with some particular precautions (see 03-5). As regards the other pressure sealed doors, take
care not to damage the seal (PR sealant or seal) and recondition it or replace it as necessary (see 03-5).
- Take all relevant safety measures in order not to score the structure elements or damage the
protective coatings.
- Do not damage structure seal beads.

4- FLIGHT CONTROLS

- Do not operate the control stick, rudder pedal and trims if the hydraulic systems are NOT
pressurized.
- DO NOT ALTER ADJUSTMENT of flight control rods. The latter are adjusted in factory using
manufacturing tools which enable interchangeability of equipment. For any operation, refer to
manual 04 «Flight controls».
- Servo-controls with fixed or moving barrel are adjusted in factory to the same center-to-center
distance, with very close tolerances.
- THE LENGTH of servo-controls provided with a fixed barrel SHOULD NEVER BE ADJUSTED,
as such servo-controls include a mechanical position repeater device connected between piston and
control bellcrank. Any modification of the center-to-center distance will require the servo-control to be
sent to the manufacturer for complete adjustment.

5- TAKEOFF AND LANDING SYSTEM

- Comply with instructions relative to manual opening and closing of undercarriage doors and
airbrake panels (see 02-0).

6- POWER PLANT

A Fuel and pressurization systems are equipped with special «INTER F LEX» type couplings which
require particular installation and removal conditions (see 06-0).
- On couplings, only use seals matching the system concerned.

B - When working inside a tank, take the following precautions :


- do not keep anything in the pockets,
- take care that the lead lights do not bear directly on the structure sealed with PR sealant,
- immediately, remove any object that falls into the tank,
- put on very clean rubber-soled shoes resistant to hydrocarbons.

C - On the ground, with the aircraft supplied with electrical power, it is imperative to trip the fuse-
breaker of the low-pressure pump concerned (either LH or RH) in case the supply circuit of the pump
control relay should be cut off as this relay permits pump operation when it is not energized.

D - If the aircraft has been grounded, with tanks empty, for more than four months (and no more
than six months in temperate climate) :
- either refuel the aircraft,
| - or fill and drain the tanks, or spray the tanks with an Air 3404 fuel mixture plus 10% of Air 1 504
oil. Renew this treatment every four months.

E After an emergency extension of the inflight refueling boom, do not return the boom emergency
control lever to normal position until the emergency cylinder is completely discharged.

7- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

- Before disconnecting or connecting servicing or test connectors, make sure that the aircraft is
not energized.
- When measurements are not carried out with a specific equipment, it is compulsory to use
continuity testers when connecting the test connectors. Work can then be performed without risk
of damage to the connector pins.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICING THE


Al RCRAFT AND OPERATING THE VARIOUS SYSTEMS

1 - PURPOSE

this sheet summarizes the isntructions to be observed when servicing the aircraft and operating the
various systems so as to avoid wrong operations which could cause damage.

2- GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Systems and installations shall be operated only for the time required for adjustments or checks.

As transformer-rectifiers permanently operate as soon as the aircraft is energized with alternating


current through ground power receptacle, it is recommended (except during run-up or when it rains) to
leave the equipment bay door open so as to facilitate cooling of said units. when the aircraft is energized
for a long time.

3- FLIGHT CONTROLS

Before pressurizing the hydraulic systems, MAKE SURE THAT NO CONTROL IS PINNED.
-
-When hydraulic systems are pressurized, ONLY PIN THE CONTROL FOR THE TIME
REQUIRED FOR THE CHECK and after taking all relevant arrangements to avoid wrond operation,
AND PARTICULARLY FOR ANY PIN INSTALLED DOWNSTREAM OF AUXILIARY
SERVO-CONTROL.
- Before pressurizing the A/C hydraulic system fully or partially, it is IMPERATIVE to check that
the two connections between releasable bellcrank and servo-control are simultaneously uncoupled or
coupled (risk of damage to a releasable bellcrank lever). Severe damages will also be caused to both
components in case one of these two connections is uncoupled (even for a short time) while hydraulic
pressure is applied to one system.
- IT IS FORBIDDEN TO CARRY OUT FLIGHT CONTROL INTEGRATED TEST WHEN THE
AIRCRAFT IS JACKED UP. THIS TEST SHALL BE COMPULSORILY PERFORMED WHEN THE
AIRCRAFT IS ON GROUND.

4- TAKE-OFF AND LANDING SYSTEM

- Comply with instructions relative to opening and closing of U/C doors and airbrake panels (See
02-0).
- A brake unit disassembled even partially requires particular attention to avoid any inadvertent
pressurization of the braking system (See 05-7).

5- POWER PLANT

A At run-up

Some units of the navigation and weapon system shall be operated in order to prevent them from
being damaged (See 02-7).
- Comply with safety measures for run-up (See 02-0).

6- HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
-Before pressurizing hydraulic circuits, make sure that they are in full operating condition.
-After any operation and before performing adjustments or functional tests, carry out vapour
relief preceded - if necessary - by drainage of systems.

7- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A - Protection of A/C battery
(1) All tests should be performed using an external power supply unit so as to prevent battery
discharging.
(2) On failure warning panel, the battery switch should be set to «Off» position so as to avoid :
- battery discharging when no external power supply unit is available,
- battery saturation when an external power supply unit is available (battery charging through
transformer - rectifiers).

B Protection of fuse-breakers

It is advisable to cut in or cut off said fuse-breakers only when necessary.


C Protection of failure warning panel

To prevent damage to the front face of failure warning panel due to heating when indicator lights
are supplied, place the lighting control unit selector to position «NIGHT» and adjust lights to minimum
brightness. After completion of test, return selector to position «DAY».

D Resetting of inverter

When it is necessary to use an external electrical power source (external power receptacle connect¬
ed), the inverter must be reset by tilting down the reset switch so as to prevent its operation which is
indicated at the failure warning panel by the illumination of the «EMG ***» light. The light should go
out.

8- PILOT ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS

A Oxygen

Opening and closing of oxygen cocks on aircraft.


-In order to avoid any damage to the oxygen pressure regulator, do not open A/C oxygen cock (or
emergency oxygen cock) when the flow port is blanked (see 02-9).
_ - When energizing the A/C with alternating current, make sure that the oxygen indicator pointer
does not hunt (continual wavering of the pointer from one side of the dial to the other) (risk of damage
to the gauge system amplifier) (See 09-3).
- Emergency cylinder cock should always be opened after A/C oxygen cock, and conversely as
regards closing.

9- NAVIGATION AND WEAPON SYSTEM


A Protection of NWS unity

During run-up (see 02-7) or ground firing, it is recommended to operate the gyro systems and
servo-mechanism systems to prevent possible damages due to vibrations.
B - Heating of NWS units

Operating time of NWS units is submitted to restrictions according to weather conditions


(see 10-0).

C - Standby horizons (front and rear cockpits)

When power supply is cut off (voluntarily or because of failure), it is very important that the
gyroscope axis be perpendicular to the outer frame so as to avoid - during slowing down - that the
gyroscope comes to rest on its pitch stop and then causes the gyro equipment to rotate about the roll
axis, which may result in damage.

Consequently, after cutting off power supply, it is necessary to pull the resetting knob fully so as
to make sure that the gyroscope is correctly positioned.

D Pitot static systems

Starting and operation of a pressure generator should be performed carefully to prevent aneroids
and servo-mechanisms from being damaged.

As a consequence, the following should be observed :

-IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO USE SEVERAL PRESSURE GENERATORS


SIMULTANEOUSLY ON AIRCRAFT.

- PRESSURIZATION AND PRESSURE VARIATIONS OF SYSTEMS MUST BE ACCOMPLISH¬


ED ONLY WHEN AIRCRAFT IS ENERGIZED.

- PRESSURE IN STATIC SYSTEMS SHOULD NEVER EXCEED GROUND PRESSURE.

-PRESSURE IN TOTAL SYSTEMS SHOULD NEVER BE LOWER THAN PRESSURE IN STATIC


SYSTEMS.

- OPERATING LIMITATIONS OF ITEMS SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED.

-PRESSURE VARIATIONS SHOULD NEVER OCCUR ABRUPTLY, ESPECIALLY STATIC


PRESSURE VARIATION WHICH SHOULD NOT EXCEED LIMITATION SET BY THE VERTICAL
SPEED INDICATOR.

During operation, these safety measures entail the following instructions :

(1) For starting

«Sensitive» pitot static systems' (S1, S2, S4, T1, T2) are to be systematically connected to the
generator. In some special cases when some systems are to be shut off, the relevant operations are
described and SHOULD BE DULY OBSERVED.
Before performing leak test prior to the checks, make sure that static systems are connected to Ps
outlet of generator, and that total pressure systems are connected to Pt outlet.

(2) Tests

- Make sure that no inadvertent disconnection may occur during tests.


- Before applying pressure or negative pressure to the systems, make sure that aircraft is energized.
- Should A/C power supply be faulty, keep pressure or negative pressure in pitot static systems
until power supply is restored.
- In order to comply with equipment operating limitations, observe the following :
IAS<750kt i.e.0<AP<1240mb
H< 60,000 ft i.e. 70 mb < Ps < 1050 mb
M<2.2
- In addition, as regards static inlet S3, only perform the leak test (see 12-1), the associated
equipment are limited in pressure.

This sheet summarizes the instructions to be observed when handling and using the ground support
equipment.

2- OXYGEN TRANSPORTATION TROLLEYS

A Transportation trolleys for gaseous oxygen cylinders.

These trolleyswill be more particularly :


located far from any flame,
-
- protected against contamination by fats,
- protected against bad weather and sun when not used,
- stored in cool ventilated premises : proper ventilation shall prevent oxygen accumulation due to
leaking cylinders which could cause explosion or fire.

B Oxygen cylinders

- Slowly open or close the cocks only manually. If manual opening (or closing) is impossible, the
cocks will be considered as defective. It is strictly FORBIDDEN to use a wrench or similar tool to open
or close cylinder cocks. .

WARNING :
QUICK OPENING OF COCKS MAY CAUSE A SUDDEN COMPRESSION RESULTING IN
TEMPERATURE INCREASE SUFFICIENT TO GIVE BIRTH TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

- Make sure that the cylinders contain «Aviation» grade oxygen. In case of doubt as regards the
content of a cylinder, NEVER use it to fill an oxygen system.
- A residual pressure of 3,5 bar (50.75 psi) should remain permanently in the cylinders of the
trolley so as to prevent introduction of moisture.
- On exhausted cylinders, mark «empty» and put them aside from other cylinders.

C Liquid oxygen storage and dispenser trolleys

- They shall remain in open, cool and ventilated premises and shall be protected against sun and
heat source.
- They shall be handled with care, as well as their pipes so as to prevent the insulation from being
damaged, and shall be kept very clean.
- During decanting operations, do not leave valves or cocks completely open. Open them fully,
then close them by a quarter turn to avoid risks of freezing in open position.
- Never allow liquid oxygen to remain between two valves. Always open one of the valves to
prevent an excessive pressure from being generated.

D Transportation trolleys for liquid oxygen tanks

- They shall be very clean and in perfect condition.


- They shall never be used to carry other material than liquid oxygen tanks.
- The tanks shall always be correctly attached to their support and fitted with their protective
plug.
- Parking of trolleys carrying oxygen tanks is identical to that stated in sub-paragraph C.
- The towing speeds shall be mandatorily observed.

3- MEASURING DEVICES

A Fluid and gas pressure measuring devices

- These instruments shall periodically undergo a systematical inspection followed by possible


recalibration, whether they are used alone (charging gage, pressure reducing valve (HP) for instance) or
they belong to a ground support equipment (pressurization set - hydraulic bench - compressor).
This is also applicable to pressure reducing valves used on compressed gas dispenser trolleys (oxygen,
nitrogen, air).
Mean inspection periodicity is once a year.

- These operations are to be performed more often when :

inspection periodicities stated in support equipment technical handbook are shorter,


- users or repairers deem it necessary according to the accuracy of measurements to be made,
or to conditions for use (intensive use, safety,etc),
pressure gage or pressure reducing valve has undergone a mechanical operation (repair or
replacement of a component).
- measuring instruments (pressure gage, pressure reducing valve...) used for oxygen systems
shall in no case be calibrated with oil. They can be tested with a dry nitrogen supply. It is strictly
FORBIDDEN to use meters which do not offer this warranty. Instruments to be used on oxygen
systems shall bear a permanent marking easily visible.

B Force measuring devices

These ground support items of equipment shall be systematically calibrated twice a year and when¬
ever defective.

4- GROUND POWER UNIT

A Instructions for use

(1 ) Care shall be taken to keep wirings and connectors in satisfactory condition.


(2) Set GPU «anti-flash» selector switch to «without anti-flash» thus enabling to supply the field coils
of ground power receptacle relay and A/C ground power receptacle contactors with + 28V from the
GPU.
If «anti-flash» selector switch is left to «anti-flash», the field coils of ground power receptacle
relay and A/C ground power receptacle contactors are supplied by a battery direct connection, which
makes battery installation on A/C necessary and may cause battery discharging if GPU is used for a long
time.
(3) Check that GPU voltage is 200 ± 4V and GPU frequency 400 ± 4 Hz.

5 - HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT


A - Instructions for use of bench:
(1 ) Refer to hydraulic bench technical handbook.
(2) Operation of the hydraulic test bench for approx. 10 minutes is recommended before con¬
necting to aircraft system, in order to eliminate all risks of contamination of the A/C systems.
B - Utilization on aircraft:
-The "dual supply" benches permit to ensure maintenance on aircraft only with one
bench, but utilization of these benches requires to take some precautions, according to the
type of bench:

(1) Utilization with only one generation: connect it to the system concerned: the tests are
carried out with "aircraft reservoir full".
After use, refill the reservoir if required.
(2) Simultaneous utilization with both generations:
(a) The bench used is fitted only with one flow supply and a common return: the tests are
carried out with "aircraft reservoirs empty" so as to avoid abnormal filling of an aircraft reser¬
voir.
After use, fill the reservoir of each system separately.
(b) The bench is fitted with two separate systems: the tests are carried out with "aircraft res¬
ervoir full".
6 - HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC TEST ACCESSORY KIT (P/N: 15000 -)
A - Installation of swivel coupling

-Never use an open-end wrench. Tighten nuts 1 and 2 by hand by gripping their knurled
surfaces.
-Before fitting this coupling on the valve, unscrew knurled nut 1 so as to insert plunger 3
until the internal stop is felt.
-Install the swivel coupling on the valve by tightening nut 2 by hand, then tighten nut 1
until the valve internal stop is felt.

UTILIZATION OF PRESSURE GENERATOR TYPE 12-3

CAUTION :
THE GENERATOR SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITH Ps AND Pt OUTLETS AIR
VENTED.
TO THAT PURPOSE, MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR VENT VALVE IS CLOSED (CLOSE
THROUGH CLOCKWISE ROTATION).

(1) Envelopes

Make sure that the operating limitations of A/C components (01-0) correspond to the limitations -
Hp max and CAS max - displayed on the generator. Otherwise, select these values.

(2) Connecting the remote control unit

- Using the junction cords, connect the remote control unît to the generator.
- On remote control unit :
- check that Hp and CAS selectors are set to «0».
- check that sealing switches are directed towards L5 and L6 lights.
- Install the remote control unit in cockpit.

(3) Starting the generator into operation

Operate on the front panel of the pressure generator.


- Record the ground altitude (altitude indicator set to 1013.25 mbar.
- Check that the mode selector is OFF.
- Set the INT/EXT switch to INT
- Energize the generator with three phase 200 V - 400 Hz power
- Check that Hp and CAS selectors are set to «0»
- Using fine adjustment potentiometers, select the required variation speeds

(4) Operation

The generator is controlled from the cockpit ; using the remote control unit, test the lights.
- Vary Hp altitude and CAS speed in operating systems as per required test.
- Read their values on altitude indicator (set to 1013.25 mbar) and mach/airspeed indicator.
Process data delivered by the indicator lights associated with altitude and speed switches.

rr^ and -Tr- speeds, related to required tests, may only be modified on the front panel of
generator.

NOTA : The pressure generator may be fully controlled from the front panel, by setting the INT/EXT
switch to INT and using the front panel controls and indicator lights.

(5) Cutting the generator out

This operation is performed from generator front panel.

- Set the INT/EXT switch to INT.


- Set the mode selector to ground pressure selection.
- Select the ground pressures (ground altitude and zero speed), using selector switches.
To that purpose, pay attention to altitude indicator and mach/airspeed indicator. When both in
initial setting, switch to OFF by retracting the stop.

(6) Incident during operation

- Mains cut-out

Short cut-out

The electro-valves which are not supplied are closed ; in operating systems, pressures are kept as
before cut-out.
When re-energizing the mains, keep the generator to «Pt - Ps opening» ; the generator starts by
itself . The electro-valves are kept closed by the time delay circuit ; they will open themselves when
the operator obtains : upstream Ps = downstream Ps and upstream Pt = downstream Pt.

Long cut-out

The insulation electro-valves automatically close themselves. Thus, it is impossible to return Hp


and CAS to «O» through normal procedure. Switch OFF.
Two mechanically connected cocks are used for progressive return of A/C Ps and Pt systems to air
pressure.
Pay attention to altitude indicator and mach/airspeed indicator ; when both in initial setting, the
generator can be disconnected.
Take care to close the cocks after air venting.

LOCKING WITH COTTER PINS

1 - SCOPE

This sheet indicates the instructions to be followed for locking castellated nuts with cotter pins.

2- PROCEDURE

A Before pinning

- Tighten the nut according to instructions


in force. When the cotter pin is not fitted
Limit positions of pin immediately after tightening the nut, make
hole with respect to castellatior sure that the tightening torque is correct
before fitting the pin.
Make sure that the castellation is correctly
positioned with respect to the pin setting hole
(see opposite figure).
- Check that the pin diameter is adequate
and that the pin head shape is correct.

B Castellated nut pinning method

(1 ) Two pinning methods :

(a) Generally and when no special indication


is provided, locking of castellated nuts with
cotter pins is to be carried out in compliance
with the opposite figure, the head of the cotter
pin being inserted in a castellation of the nut.

(b) Every time the above pinning method is


not possible due to the prong bent over the
bolt end (RISK OF CATCHING DURING
TRAVEL), cotter pins can be installed as
follows :
- either in compliance with the opposite
figure showing cotter pin installation on a
bench (locking in the form of an anchor),
without bending the prongs into the
castellations ;
Only pins with a diameter less than or
equal to 3 mm (0.118 in) can be twisted to
allow the pin head to be inserted in a cas¬
tellation of the nut.

or as shown in the variant in the figure of paragraph B (1) (a) ; in that case, it will be necessary
to make sure that the pin head is sufficiently inserted into the castellation to prevent the cotter pin
from rotating.

NOTA : 'n all cases, thin castellated hex nuts with a nominal diameter less than or equal to 7 mm
(0.275 in) shall be pinned according to the method set forth in paragraph B (1) (a), if the
outer taper of the castellated section precludes forming of the cotter pin to a correct
«anchor» shape.

(2) Pinning procedure

- Insert the cotter pin in the hole. Press on the pin head so as to insert it correctly into the
castellation (never use a hammer which could cause the pin head to be distorted and the nut and bolt
to be damaged).
- If need be, cut off the prongs of the pin using nippers, then bend said prongs.

ONCE THE COTTER PIN IS INSTALLED, IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO CUT THE


PRONGS INSIDE A MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY IF RECOVERY OF THE CUT ENDS IS NOT
GUARANTEED.

-Bend the prongs of the pin as shown in the figure.


-After pinning, check that the cotter pin is correctly installed and locked, which does not exclude
a slight play relatively to its housing.

C Plain pin locking method

- Plain pins shall be pinned by bending the


prongs to «anchor» shape, as indicated in the
opposite figure.

INSTALLATION OF RETAINING RINGS (CIRCLIPS) AND EQUIVALENT RETAINERS

1 - PURPOSE
This sheet indicates the general instructions and precautions relative to installation of various
retaining rings.

2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A - Standard tool
Circlip pliers
B Spares
- Retaining rings with diameters not exceeding 40 mm are considered as systematical spares and
shall be replaced at each disassembly.

3 - PROCEDURE
A - Groove inspection
Before installing retaining ring, carefully brush the groove. No burr or trace of impact is
permissible. All the edges shall be sharp except those of groove roots for parts made of materials liable
to notch effect.
B - Installation
Before installation, discard retaining rings showing defects which could be prejudicial to their
insertion or to their position inside the groove (distortion, burr, oxidation, etc.).

NOTE : Ensure before assembly (on slat rollers, for example), that the TRUARC rings have satisfied
the hardness unity measurement tests (hardness tested rings).

- Always install (or remove) the retaining rings using appropriate pliers fitted with stop screws used
to limit displacement. These pliers should be matched with the dimension of the ring to be installed.
Ring distortion should be limited to the minimum required for installation. As regards circlips «I»
(inner) particularly, never bring the ring ends in contact with one another. In case of wrong operation,
discard the circlip.
- Some retaining rings are stamped. Cutting may result in curvature of one of the faces next to the
edges. The ring shall be positioned in such a way that the face (free of cutting radii or curved face (B))
is opposite the face bearing against the component to secure against motion.

- The retaining ring shall fall freely into its groove, but shall always be tight on the shaft.

C - Check

After installation, make sure that the ring is correctly positioned :


-
- by acting laterally on said ring to determine the groove clearance and by rotating it inside
the groove to check for correct installation and diametral tightening while checking alternately for
proper abutment on each groove face.
- In case of doubt, remove and reinstall the ring, replace it as necessary.

LOCKWIRE SAFETYING
(figure 1)

1 - SCOPE

This sheet indicates the instructions to be followed for the effective safetying of screws or nuts
whenever the use of lockwire is specified.

These instructions apply to screws and nuts installed on an aircraft equipment item or component,
line couplings or nuts (lines belonging to an equipment item or the aircraft) and the assembly of two or
more equipment items.

- The purpose of lockwire safetying is not to guarantee that the original tightening torque is
maintained, but to minimize any loosening caused by settling and vibration.

- This operation is to be performed with the use of corrosion-resistant steel lockwire with a
diameter of 0.8 mm (0.5 mm dia may be used under exceptional conditions, but only for safetying 3 or
4 mm dia screws).

Unless otherwise indicated, the use of zinc-coated, annealed soft steel lockwire is permitted for
emergency repair purposes and is recommended for equipment when the wire is not permanently in
contact with an unpainted light-alloy surface.

- The use of lockwire is stricly prohibited when the part(s) is/are in ultra-light alloy.

2 - PROCEDURE

- The wire connecting the components to be safetied must be installed so that any natural
loosening tendency is counteracted by an increase in the wire tension.

- After insertion through the hole provided, the wire is to be twisted together with eight to twelve
twists being formed over a length of 25 mm. The wire must be taut during this operation.

- As far as possible, long lengths of twisted wire are to be avoided ; do not exceed 60 mm
(developed length) between two holes.

- The length of untwisted wire near each hole is not to exceed 3 mm.

- After the last hole, the wire must be twisted over a length of 10 to 15 mm, then formed into a
loop to prevent it from becoming a snag.

No loop is required when the lockwire is sealed with heat-shrinkable tubing, but the tubing must
entirely cover both ends of the wire.

- The wire must be installed so that it is not subject to wear caused by friction (bearing against a
sharp angle for instance) or overstress resulting from fouling.

AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULtJlJ^-^TvL »» I KM \J C I
BREGUET AVIATION^oF=<^0
^£^S=-^^ Restricted MANUAL 01

- As a general rule, no more than three screws or nuts should be safetied together, except when
they have the same function (e.g : cover secured by a series of n screws which must all be removed if
the cover is to be removed).

- On the figure (example 4), note the reverse twisting directions of twisted portions A and C ;
loop B can move only in the direction which increases the twisting of wires A and C.

-Safetying can be performed as indicated in the figure (example 10) for some cases where no
provision has been made for a hole.

- When a direct-mounting union or bulkhead union is lockwired, the wire must be arranged so as
to permit insertion of the wrench intended to counteract the loosening torque of the line nut.

- The hollow bolt of a banjo union must be lockwired. The wire shall be connected to a hole
drilled in the union (see example 1 1 in figure), or to a hole of the adjacent hollow bolt if necessary.
In addition, if the banjo union is connected to a moving hose, it must be mechanically prevented from
rotation (flat machined on the boss supporting the banjo union for instance). If the body of the banjo
union is not prevented from rotation, lockwiring is to be installed only after connection of the line
to the union.

The tightness of a screw or a nut must not be modified so as to move the hole to the best posi¬
tion.

- A lockwire must never be reused.

IMPORTANT :
IN THE SPECIAL CASE OF LOCKWIRE APPLICATION INSIDE FUEL TANKS, BLOB OF
PR 1422 IS TO BE APPLIED TO THE END OF THE TWISTED WIRE.

CAUTION :
OBSERVE «NO STEP» MARKINGS.

Install canopy seal protectors on cabin lateral beams.


Install air intake blanking covers and boundary layer bleed protective screens.
Install wingtip and U/C door protective pads.
Install the windshield protection so as to avoid scratches. If no protection is available, protect the
windshield either with thin plexiglas sheets or kraft paper applied to both inner and outer surfaces (this
protection should overlap with the framework and be fixed to it with adhesive tape), or else with
adhesive aluminum foil.
Install the laser glass protective cover.
During inspection, avoid placing lights near to glass panels, as heat may damage lateral and front
panels.
Install antenna and probe protective devices.
-When the pilot's seat is removed, install a dummy seat in the cockpit so as to prevent damage to
wiring and pipes.
Using sealed plugs, blank off all disconnected pipes and couplings.
Blank electrical connectors with appropriate plugs, especially those in bottom of racks from
which components have been removed.
When the engine is removed :
place a protective floor in the engine compartment, and install the protective cover on the
throttle lever.
Place the protective cover on the upper section of the nose U/C leg (retraction system) ; the
streamer should be visible under the aircraft.
Install tire protectors.
- If a tire happens to be soiled by splashes of hydraulic fluid, dry it immediately with clean cloths,
then clean it thoroughly with soapy water and rinse with clear water.
Paraffin-base thinners should not be used for cleaning tires, as they damage rubber.

B Access equipment

-Access to cabin :
cabin access ladder, or standard stepladder, or servicing platform.
- Access to wings :
standard stepladder or servicing platform.

MINIMUM PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED DURING LUBRICATION

1 - GREASE STORAGE, FILLING OF LUBRICATING DEVICES


The grease shall be stored in the manufacturer's packaging :
either in the box provided by the manufacturer, for use with grease guns,
- or in a tube, for direct use.

THE ONLY OPERATION PERMITTED CONSISTS IN TRANSFERRING THE GREASE FROM THE
MANUFACTURER'S PACKAGING INTO THE LUBRICATING DEVICE.
BOXES SHALL BE HERMETICALLY CLOSED AFTER USE.
LUBRICATING PUMPS SHALL BE FILLED WITH UTMOST CARE SO AS TO AVOID ANY
POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION OF THE GREASE TO BE USED.

NOTE : Before filling the grease guns, make sure that there is no oil at the grease surface, otherwise
mix carefully using a very clean stainless steel (or tool steel) spatula.

2- GREASE GUN LABELLING

All grease guns shall bear a label indicating the AIR reference of the grease.

3- USE AND MAINTENANCE OF GREASE GUMS

It is advisable to group all lubricating operations and to determine approximately the quantity
of grease to be used.
This enables :
- to select the type to be used and to fill one or several grease guns in a single operation,
- to carry out check and maintenance of grease gun assembly (clip-type adaptor, hose...) before
any new filling.

4- LUBRICATION

-The grease to be used can only be contained.


- either in a grease gun, for lubrication of grease nipples,
- or in a tube, for direct lubrication.
- Before lubrication :
- carefully clean the grease nipple and its periphery,
- check that the grease nipple is fitted with its ball and spring, might have been contaminated
during handling.
-squirt a small quantity of grease so as to clean the clip - type adaptor which might have
been, contaminated during handling.
- During lubrication, take any relevant precaution so as to prevent the grease fitting from being
contamined.
- Inject the grease by force into the grease nipples until the old grease is expelled (unless otherwise
specified).
- After lubrication :
- wipe off the excess grease so as to prevent accumulation of dirt.

NOTE : During lubrication of hinges fitted with grease nipples, if injection of the new grease is not
easy and the old grease is difficult to expel, proceed as follows :
- manually actuate the hinge several times to make sure that there is no friction point or
locking,
- remove the grease nipple concerned, check that it is not clogged ant that its ball is not
frozen in closed position ; any defective grease nipple shall be mandatorily replaced
(see 01-2),
- inspect the grease duct and check there is no hard deposit inside.

If condition of grease nipple and grease duct is proved to be correct and injection of the new
grease is still difficult, disassemble the hinge for thorough inspection.

5- LUBRICATION OF HINGES

If no grease nipple is provided, lubricate with a brush just before final installation. Otherwise,
proceed similarly then, once installation is completed, inject grease through the grease nipple using
a pump, so as to make sure that the grease can flow freely from the grease nipple ; stop when excess
grease flows out.

This first lubrication is part of the hinge mounting process and must not be postponed.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF «HYDRAULIC» TYPE GREASE NIPPLE

1 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Standard tools

- Torque wrench case (0 to 3 m.daN) (0 to 20 ft. lb)


- Accessory case for torque wrench (0 to 3 m.daN) (0 to 20 ft.lb)

2- MATERIALS

- LOCTITE SR290 resin


- LOCQUIC N activator.

3- PROCEDURE

A - Make sure that the threaded bore accommodating the grease nipple is deeper than the nipple
threaded section.

B Locking of grease nipple shall be performed as follows :

- Carefully degrease the grease nipple threading and the threaded bore.
- Apply a coat of LOCQUIC N activator to the grease nipple threading.
- Allow to dry for five minutes.
- Smear one or two drops of LOCTITE to the threading.

C - Screw in the grease nipples. Tighten them to torque 0,5 m.daN (44.2 in.lb). When installing
elbowed grease nipples, increase the tightening torque value so as to provide for correct positioning. If
desired position is not obtained when applying a torque of 0,8 m.daN (70.8 in.lb) max., select another
grease nipple.

NOTE : Front and rear grease nipples of nose U/C rear door shall be installed once the pins are
removed. After correct positioning of the grease nipple, one face of the nipple hexagonal base
shall be parallel to the flat of the pin so that the latter can be reinstalled.

TIGHTENING TORQUE-GENERAL METHOD OF APPLICATION

1 - SCOPE

The scope of this section is to determine the general rules to be observed when applying tightening
torques.

2- GENERAL

Tightening torques are applied to bolts or nuts so as to set assemblies with an amount of stress
known with some precision.

3- APPLICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUES

The stress to which an assembly is set varies according to the state of the surface, the lubrication
and the geometry (perpendicular deviation of supporting faces in relation to the thread axis).

Unless lubrication is specifically defined, tightening torque values are always understood to be
«dry», i.e. : no lubrication of the components.

Correct application of tightening torque requires the use of appropriate methods and tools.

A Tools

(1) Torque wrenches

Only high precision and reliability wrenches with a ratchet type release system must be used.

(2) Dynamometers

The dynamometers must be sturdy, precise and reliable. It is recommended to use the
ACRATORK type dynamometer. Like torque wrenches, the dynamometer must undergo regular
official inspection.

B Tightening torque-procedure of application

It is recommended to apply a tightening torque in a single move, without any interruption. If it is


necessary to accomplish the tightening in several movements for reasons of space and wrench travel, the
last move must be made with sufficient travel to permit a positive indication.

In the case of parts stacking, the tightening must always be performed in the right order, and it is
specially necessary to apply the torque two or three times to allow for a progressive tightening of the
components.

09-83 Restricted 2-201
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT MIRAGE F
BREGUET AVIATION
Restricted MANUAL 01

When, for accessibility reasons, it is necessary to use an extension, strictly comply with the
following instructions :
-the tightening torque application point must be the same during calibration and utilization,
- it is forbidden to alter the position of the extension once the calibration has been performed,
- except in particular cases, the extension must be as short as possible, the maximum length must
not exceed one third of the torque wrench length,
-whether using an extension or not, the calibration must always be performed on the standard
dynamometer,
- the tightening must be carried out by the same person who did the calibration.
- the torque actually applied must not depend on :
- how fast the wrench is actuated,
- the position of the wrench,
- the lateral stress the operator might apply on the wrench (to hold it in place for example).

i.e., torque values 1 increased by 1 5 %).
F - Exceptional torques (column 6)
Torque values in column 5 are reduced by 25 % when using RH8035 nuts (old manufac¬
ture) of dia 0 £ 6 and not red colored.
NOTE: When assembly is performed with the use of nut retainers (Std 31650), the torque va¬
lues must be reduced by 10 % (M106 treated retainer).

These torque values are to be obtained after all the precautions given in 01-2, i.e. tightening
torques-general method of application, have been taken. DO NOT CLEAN OR DEGREASE PARTS
MADE OF TITANIUM OR ALLOY WITH CHLORINATED SOLVENTS.

A noticeable damaging of the protection treatments or lubrication of the screws, washers and nuts
as well as a definite heating of a screw or nut during tightening may lead to an important decrease
in the tension applied to the screws. THEREFORE, ANY ATTACHMENT PART SHOWING ONE OF
THESE DEFECTS MUST BE REPLACED.

The tightening torques specific to certain assemblies which are not shown in this table can be
found in the work cards.

The torque wrenches to be used must be of the ratchet type release system kind and not of the
clock type whereas their calibration must be carried out with a precision of ±5 %.

5- SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

A When using a pin or a notched lockwasher, locking is by fractions of a turn and may not coincide
with the torque value prescribed (tolerance included). It is therefore necessary to fit a washer or adjust
the nut bearing surface as necessary.

B When castellated nuts are fitted to the joints of rotating parts :


-slightly overtorque the nut, then untighten if necessary to fit the pin in the axis hole :
- in this case, it is however necessary to tighten and untighten the nut several times successi¬
vely, thereby achieving a compression of the axis/nut assembly in order to fit the pin only when the nut
is almost locked,
- make sure that the part rotates freely.

LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF INSPECTION DOORS

1 - PURPOSE
This sheet was elaborated to inform the personnel about the basic rules selected for identification
of inspection doors through numbering. These rules enable to determine using a memotechnic
method the position of inspection doors with respect to the aircraft without referring to the figures.
These rules shall therefore be assimilated correctly so that this numbering be practical and the
identification efficient and unequivocal.

2- LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF INSPECTION DOORS (Figures 3-4-5)

A General

(1) Identification of said doors takes the breakdown of the aircraft into account, with regard to its
main components such as : FUSELAGE - WINGS - FIN - STABILATOR ASSEMBLY.

(2) As regards the fuselage, numbering of doors comprises 4 figures, e.g. 29-03. For other components
of the aircraft structure, numbering comprises 3 figures preceded by the first letter of the component
concerned, e.g. V 2.34 - D 2.32 - E 1.35. In some cases, a suffix may be added to these figures.

(3) Numbering of internal inspection doors is based on the same principle as that used for external
doors, except that suffix letter «i» (stands for internal) is added to the figures. An internal door which
can be reached through an external door will bear the same identification number as said external door,
followed by suffix letter «i».

B Fuselage doors

(1 ) Their location is first defined with respect to each fuselage section included between two frames,
from front to rear, then with respect to all-around clock divisions of the fuselage section
(00-01 -02 to 1 1 ). Direction of rotation : clockwise for a person in the cockpit.

(2) A door is identified by four figures (e.g. door 29-03).


(a) The first two figures show the location of the door with respect to the preceding frame (e.g.
frame 29). The same principle is applicable to a door covering several frames.
(b) The last two figures determine the clock division on which the door is located (e.g. at 3 o'clock).

NOTE : Doors located on the dorsal fin are conventionally identified by both figures 00 (instead of
12).

(c) Two doors located on the same fuselage section and on a same generatrix bear the same four-figure
identification number. To make a difference between said doors, a fifth figure corresponding to their
position in relation to the reference frame, is added after the identification number. This number and
the fifth figure shall be separated by a dot (e.g. doors 29-03.1 - 29-03.2).

(d) One or several small doors cut-out in a large one : each small door bears the identification number
of the large door, suffixed by a fifth figure corresponding to the position of each small door on the
large one. Identification number and fifth figure are separated by a slash (e.g. door 26-07/1 ).

BREGUET AVIATION^^ .:,;<>
^J^^<^. Restricted MANUAL 01

C Wing doors

(1 ) Their location is first defined with respect to each wing spar box included between two ribs, from
the wing root to the wing tip, and then with respect to wing spar box areas.

The wing spar box areas are delimited with respect to front and rear spars. A wing section
comprises three areas : leading edge centre wing spar box - trailing edge (control surfaces included).

(2) In order to locate the doors on a same wing spar box and to distinguish them from one another
according to the area considered, 90 number (1 to 90) are selected. Each area considered is given a
series of numbers, i.e. 1 to 29 for leading edges 30 to 59 for centre wing spar box and 60 to 90 for
trailing edge.

(a) As regards location and identification of doors, numbering starts from wing root to wing tip, and
from leading edge to trailing edge (upper and lower surfaces).
(b) Even numbers are assigned to wing upper surface doors, and odd numbers to wing lower surface
doors.

(3) A door is identified by letter V (stands for wing) suffixed by a three-figure number (e.g.
door V 1.38).
(a) The first figure is used to locate the door with respect to the preceding main rib (e.g. rib 1 ).
(b) The two other figures determine the area where the door is located (e.g. (38) wing upper surface
door in center wing spar box).
(c) If the door considered is only located on one of both wings, the identification number is followed
by «D» (R/H) or «G» (L/H).

D Fin doors

Numbering of fin doors is based on the same principle as numbering of wing doors, except for the
following :
Letter D (stands for fin) is added to the three-figure number.
- Even numbers are assigned to R/H fin doors and odd numbers to L/H fin doors, for a person in
the cockpit.

E Stabilator doors

Numbering of stabilator doors is based on the same principle as numbering of wing doors except
that letter E (stands for stabilator) is to be added to the three-figure number.

with the maintenance operations known and studied up to present time. Maintenance developments
may lead to addition, withdrawal or modification of certain tools. In this case, to keep a single type
of tool kit throughout the aircraft life it has been decided to change the kit contents only and not the
reference. The changes in kit contents can be followed by means of an index added to the reference,
and which is to be found only in the above table.

Example : basic inventory F1-MO-A.


1st inventory change : F1-MO-A1

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF STORAGE

1 - GENERAL

This section is intended for use by the personnel (mechanics and inspectors) in charge of the
aircraft storage, storage maintenance and removal from storage operations. It defines the general
arrangements to be made and the work to be carried out on aircraft and equipment during storage
operations.

It is advisable to refer :
to the whole maintenance manual for general data concerning the function, location and main¬
-
tenance of the components.
- to the illustrated parts catalog for the nomenclature and full description of the components.

2 - DEFINITIONS

Aircraft (serviceable or unserviceable) which are to remain inactive for a period extending beyond
1 5 days should be placed, for aircraft maintenance, in one of the following categories.

A Aircraft in «Unprepared storage»

Aircraft in this category are aircraft not specifically protected for storage and which can be return¬
ed to service without storage protection removal.
An aircraft in «unprepared storage» is maintained in «available to service» condition.
In principle, an aircraft should not be held in this position for more than six months.

B Aircraft in «Prepared storage»

An aircraft is in «prepared storage» when it has received a storage protective treatment which has
to be removed before its return to service.

Protected storage falls into two categories :

(1 ) «Short-term» storage when maximum anticipated storage period is no longer than six months.

(2) «Long-term» storage when anticipated storage period is longer than six months.

Aircraft scheduled for repair or aircraft scheduled for major maintenance operation should be
systematically placed in the «long-term» storage category if they cannot be flown to their repair
station.

3 - RENEWAL OF AIRCRAFT STORAGE PROTECTIVE TREATMENT

The engine «short-term» storage protective treatment is designed for a maximum out-of-service
period of three months.

The airframe «short-term» storage protective treatment is designed for a maximum out-of-service
period of six months.

At the end of the first six months, the aircraft may be held in the «short-term» storage category
up to a total limit of 12 months maximum on condition that certain operations provided for under
«long-term» storage are carried out.

These operations will be defined locally according to :


- the period of time (known or estimated) during which the aircraft will remain stored.
the climatic conditions.

- After twelve months under these conditions, the aircraft shall be placed in the «long-term»
storage category. All corresponding storage operations not accomplished during the first year will then
be carried out.
- The periodicity of renewal of the aircraft «long-term» storage protective treatment is not fixed.
Only faults found on periodic inspections will determine this renewal.

Depending on the gravity of such faults, reconditioning and storage protective treatment renewal
will be either confined to :
- the aircraft affected areas.
- or extended to the whole airframe.

It rests with the responsible authorities to decide whether the whole or part of the long-term
storage protective treatment should be renewed.

In any case, always proceed in the following way :


- Remove from storage the equipment undergoing storage protection renewal.
- Carry out reconditioning wherever necessary.
- Carry out storage operations specified in the worksheet corresponding to the storage method
selected, as regards the airframe.

4 - CONFIGURATION OF STORED AIRCRAFT

The aircraft should be stored in the transfer configuration specified in the relevant Inventory List.

STORAGE ROOMS- CLEANING OF AIRCRAFT SKIN


CORROSION REMOVAL

1 - STORAGE ROOMS
- Stored aircraft should be kept in covered, very dry and spacious hangars at a medium ambient
temperature (5 to 10°C in winter and less than 35°C in summer).
- Floors should be made of concrete to avoid dust.
- Storage rooms should be kept well ventilated as a warm, damp atmosphere is particularly
harmful.
- Direct sunshine on the aircraft and more particularly on the wings, the canopy, the windshield
and the wheels will be avoided.
- Removed items of equipment will be stored either in a room maintained at a medium
temperature of about 10°C where the air will be kept dry in all seasons, or inside the storage enclosure
in the case where the aircraft is stored in anhydrous enclosure.

2- STORAGE TREATMENT ROOMS

The storage protection treatment will be applied inside the hangar. It is essential that the work be
carried out in a very dry atmosphere.

3- CLEANING OF AIRCRAFT SKIN CORROSION REMOVAL

Before any storage, and especially in the case of long-term storage, it is mandatory to proceed with
a thorough cleaning of the aircraft skin (Refer to 03-0).

AIRCRAFT STORAGE IN ENCLOSURE WITH CONTROLLED HYGROMETRY

1 - GENERAL
A Aircraft storage in an enclosure with controlled hygrometry (E.H.C.) is a method recommended
for long-term storage (grounding time over 6 months).

It only requires a minimum removal of equipment and a minimum special protection operations,
thus permitting a rapid reconditioning of aircraft.
This method of storage consists in preserving an aircraft in good condition inside an
air-conditioned enclosure (as near as possible to 40% relative humidity).

B Storage in E.H.C. stops aircraft ageing for a determined grounding time which is currently
indicated in «F1K50 component and equipment service life» document ; however, ageing of some
components and equipment of oxygen, seat and pyrotechnical systems is not stopped during that
storage (see 01-1 and «F1 K50 component and equipment service life»).

C Aircraft condition before storage is not taken into account by the pre-storage conditioning
operations. Aircraft may be new, or may have just been inspected, or are to be repaired. Consequently,
the storage department should determine operations to be actually performed, so that condition of
stored aircraft corresponds to the treatment described in the present worksheet.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Ground handling equipment

BACHMANN polyvinyl chloride enclosure with accessories


- Desiccator and humidifier
- Lifting jacks
- Recording hygrometers

3- SERVICING MATERIALS

-Oil AIR 1504


- Weekly diagrams

B - GENERAL INFORMATION Section of a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.


Its breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with an
aircraft system.

The structure of this Section is «as required» and this Section deals with all the matters which are
common to the other Manual Sections.

This Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.

C Sections of a Manual dealing with general or specific information.

Their breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with
an aircraft system.

The structure of these Sections is «as required» in accordance with general or technical information
forming the subject of the Section.

Each Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.

3- ARRANGEMENT OF A COMMON SECTION IN A MANUAL DEALING WITH A SYSTEM

A - Sub-Section 0 - GENERAL

This is an introductory Sub-Section which gives the general principles of the functional system
covered by the Section. A schematic diagram is usually attached to this Sub-Section.

B - Sub-Section 1 - DESCRIPTION - OPERATION

This Sub-Section is arranged as follows :

(1 ) A table of components, lists all the units, accessories and equipment items of the system concerned,
in the logical descriptive sequence. It gives the essential characteristics of these equipment items, their
function in the system concerned, their location within the aircraft and it indicates whether the
relevant documentation is separate or incorporated.
Layout illustrations are usually attached to this Sub-Section, which also refers to the functional diagram.
The purpose of the table of components is to clarify the system description, by specifying the purpose
and the characteristics of the various components.
In this table, the units, accessories or equipment items are identified by :
- the reference designation for those equipment items which have an electrical function.
- a sequential index number (1 to X) when the item is not assigned any reference designation.

Note that the values shown in the table of components are rated values. When tolerances apply to
these values, they are always given in the Sub-Section which deals with maintenance.

(2) A text portion which describes the system operation in detail. This refers to the functional diagram.
NOTE The detailed description and operation of the individual equipment items are given in their
:
separatedocumentation or, if applicable, in the documentation known as the incorporated
documentation (see below).

(3) The description-operation part of the «incorporated documentation» for some equipment items is
contained in pages or groups of pages which are independent and placed next to the description and
operation of the system to which they belong.

The «incorporated documentation» is given in the same order as it appears in the table of
components; it is illustrated whenever necessary and the internal index numbers are given in the
sequence 1 to X for each component, independently of the index numbers shown in the table of
components.

C - Sub-Sections 2 to 8 :

These Sub-Sections give all technical information on the maintenance of the functional system
which forms the subject of the Section.

(1) Each Maintenance operation is described in the Sub-Section corresponding to its category.

At the head of each group of pages which describe details of an operation, the following
information will be found :

(a) Equipment required which lists the tools and ground support equipment required to perform the
operation. Since the tools are grouped in homogeneous kits, only the tool kit to be used is specified.
However, the tools are indicated in the text by :
- the dimension across flats (in mm) for the spanner to be used when standard tools are concerned,
unless a specific spanner must be used.
- the part number when special tools or special ground support equipment are concerned.

(b) Materials. The standard designation of the materials used, or the commercial designation if the
former is not available, is shown under this heading.
However, the standard designation suffixes are shown only in the «list of various products and
materials» in the «GENERAL» Manual.
If only one material is used during the operation, its designation is not recalled in the text which details
the operation.

(c) Spares. Only the spares which are systematically required are shown by their names supplemented,
if necessary, by an indication in order to avoid any confusion in their location. Reference shall be
made to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown to find their part numbers. The only exception to this rule is
the standard hardware, for which the standard part number is shown.

(2) The man-hours required for the performance of the operation are not given in the description of
the operation, but in the table of periodic maintenance operations included in Manual 01 «GENERAL».

4- IDENTIFICATION ON INSPECTION DOORS

The figures showing the location of the inspection doors, are part of Manual 01 «GENERAL», to
which reference should be made.
The door numbering principles are as follows :

A Sub-assembly on which a door is located.

- Fuselage - the number consists of four digits.


- Wings - the number consists of letter V followed by three digits.
- Stabilator - the number consists of letter E followed by three digits.
- Fin - the number consists of letter D followed by three digits.

B Fuselage doors

The first two digits show the number of the frame forward of the door, the next two digits are the
clock position of the door within the fuselage section in which it is located :
- example : fuselage door between F.29 and 30 in the middle part of the R/H side : door 29-03.

AC
06-74 Restricted xi

BREGUET AVIATION,
r^xf
_ ^
MIRAGE F
Restricted

C Wing doors

The first digit locates the door in relation to the rib which precedes the door from the aircraft
centreline to the wing tip.
The last two digits indicate in which of the following areas is the door :
1 to 29 - leading edge

30 to 59 - centre wing box


60 to 90 - trailing edge.

The door numbering direction is from the wing root to the wing tip and from the leading edge to
the trailing edge.
Even numbers apply to the upper surface doors and odd numbers apply to the lower surface doors.
- example : door located between ribs 1 and 2 on the upper surface within the centre wing box :
V138.

D Fin doors. Same principle as for the wings

The odd numbers apply to the L/H side and the even numbers apply to the R/H side.

E Stabilator doors. Same principle as for the wings.

5- DIAGRAM DRAWING RULES

There are three kinds of diagrams :

- schematic diagrams
-functional diagrams
- wiring diagrams.

A Schematic diagram. The schematic diagram is drawn in block form, showing the main component
interconnections, illustrating the functional principle of the system and the connections to the other
systems or functions.

B Functional diagram. The functional diagram represents all the units, accessories and equipment
items making up the system and their functional connections. The detailed operation of the function
can be followed on that diagram.
The functional diagrams are usually shown in inoperative condition (i.e. no pressure, no power, aircraft
on its wheels). The complex functions may be illustrated by several functional diagrams associated with
the main operating phases.
The equipment inside is represented in the form of a block or symbol. For the actual equipment
illustration it is necessary to refer to the relevant publication.
The functional diagrams show the terminals except for the relays, on/off switches, selector switches and
indicator lights.
The functional diagrams define the type of the information conveyed. Disconnections and grounding
connections are not shown unless an aircraft boundary is concerned.

(1) Test connectors on equipment. The test points are shown by the associated terminal number
which is encircled and hooked to the tested circuit. If there are several test connectors, the reference
designation of the connector to which the point belongs is written next to the test point.

(2) Aircraft test connectors. These are shown with their terminal numbers and reference designations
in the same manner as the other aircraft wiring connectors.

C Wiring diagram. The wiring diagrams form the subject of Manual 16 to which reference should be
made.

D Symbols used in the diagrams. The symbols used in the diagrams are shown in the following

REVISION OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1 - PUBLICATION DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE

This development is performed in two steps :

A Issue of supplements which are temporarily incorporated in the publications.

B Actual revision which permanently incorporates information in the publications. Such information
may be newly issued or previously published in supplements (replacement of pages or addition of new
pages).

2- REVISION TO PUBLICATIONS

A Procedure

Revision involves two operations :


insertion of new pages and replacement of modified pages.
-
- systematic replacement of the title page and list of effective pages which serves as a guide to the
insertion of revised pages.

B Page numbering

First case - Addition of one or more new pages following the last page of a Sub-Section.
The pages are numbered in the normal order.

Second case - Insertion of one or more new pages between two existing pages.
The new page(s) bears the number of the preceding page followed by a capital letter, with the exception
of letters I, 0 and Z.
The letters are chosen in every case so as to provide for maximum further insertions unless the initial
numbering sequence is changed.
The principle is illustrated in the table below :

Example :
Assuming that several pages are to be inserted in succession between pages 6 and 7. The first one
will be numbered 6M, the second one 6F if it is to be placed before 6M, or 6T if it is to be placed after
6M. Similarly, if it is necessary to insert a third page later on, its number will be 6F or 6T, 6C or 6J, 6Q
or 6W as applicable.

Assuming that the following are to be inserted simultaneously :

- 2 pages : they will be numbered 6H and 6R.


- 3 pages : they will be numbered 6F, 6M and 6T.

Third case - Insertion of a new page following application of an official modification. The principle
consists in showing up the two states simultaneously in the publication, i.e. post- and pre-modification.

(a) The modification can be inserted according to the principle stated above without altering the page
numbering sequence : There will be a new page which supersedes the preceding one.

(b) As a result of the insertion of both states (post- and pre-modification), if the number of pages
increases, the solution will be as follows :
- both the pre- and post-modification pages will bear the same number. «MOD...X» will be shown
on top of the date on the modified page (this means modification X applied). Both pages will be shown
in the list of effective pages with.

Remark : These two pages may have different dates.

(c) Where a complete paragraph or a Section is deeply affected by a modification (most of the pages
changed), the complete paragraph which is modified will be found first and followed by the complete
paragraph which is not modified. The table of contents will list both paragraphs (or Sections).

The unmodified pages will be deleted during a further revision only when the modification has
been applied to all aircraft.

C Identification of revised text portions

The modifications to the text, insertion or deletion, are identified by a vertical line in the margin.

Those pages which are entirely changed are identified by a vertical line in the margin on a level
with the date of issue.

TRANSLATION OF REPETITIVE ABBREVIATIONS

To avoid the necessity of creating English versions of certain illustrations the translations of the
legends have been added in italic script and the standard french abbreviations have been unchanged.

Furthermore, to ensure ready reference, the same abbreviations have been used in the parts of the
text which correspond to such illustrations. . .

A key to the standard french abbreviations is given below :

AR («arrière») = Rear L («lisse») = Stringer


AT («attaque») = Drive Lg («longeron») = Spar
AV («avant») = Front Lgt («longeronnet»)= False spar
C («cadre») = Frame M («médiane») = Middle
Cst («constant») = Constant N («nervure») = Rib
e («épaisseur») = Thickness R («rail») = Track

TREATMENT OF SURFACES
CONTAMINATED WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHING PRODUCTS

1 - SCOPE

This operation is to inform the users about the measures to be taken so as to avoid the harmful
effects of certain fire extinguishing products on the airframe which may add to damage caused by
fire.

2- GENERAL

A Various types of fire extinguishing products :


-halogen-containing agents such as fréon, tribromofluor (T.B.F.),
-foam type FLEB70,
- dry powder type GRANITO,
- carbon dioxide C02

B Use of above products :


- halogen-containing agents for major fires (no longer to be used),
- foam for major fires,
- powder for minor fires,
- C02 for minor fires.

C Effects of the use of fire extinguishing products :


halogen-containing agents :
-
When in contact with hot sheets, the halogen-containing products decompose into acids causing
intercrystalline corrosion.
THE CORROSION PREVENTIVE TREATMENT IS TO BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY IN
ORDER TO PRECLUDE THE CONTINUATION OF THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF FIRE EXTIN¬
GUISHING PRODUCTS.
- Foam :
Mildly corrosive effect
- Dry powder :
Abrasive effect on moving parts
- Carbon dioxide :
No known effect.

3- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Ground support equipment


- A/C cleaning unit.

4- MATERIALS

- White-spirit.
- NETAL AC or
-ARDROX6025
- Potassium dichromate solution type 1 .

5- OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT AFTER USING FIRE EXTINGUISHING

When using a fire extinguishing product, it is necessary to know its chemical composition in
order to classify it into one of the above mentionned categories, thus enabling to determine the proce¬
dure to be followed (see hereunder).

For treatment of the engine, refer IMMEDIATELY TO INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO


ENGINE FIRE (see 02-0).

A Halogen-containing products

(1) General principle

CAUTION :
AS DERIVATIVES OF HALOGEN-CONTAINING FIRE EXTINGUISHING PRODUCTS ARE
HIGHLY REACTIVE, ACTION MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN 4 HOURS OF EXTINGUISHING
THE FIRE.

First eliminate all the «lightly adhering» residues by rinsing.


-
Neutralize - even in the remotest parts - the hydrochloric, hydrobromic and hydrofluoric
-
products by transforming them into soluble substances which can later be removed by rinsing.
- Passivate the surfaces pending a more complete protective treatment to be applied the first
time the aircraft is grounded.

(2) Treatment of the airframe

- Unbind and free the electrical cables hindering access to contaminated areas.
- Remove the components, pipes and electrical cables from these areas so as to reach the airframe
easily.
-Prepare the following solution :
- emulsify 10 % of Ardrox 6025 or NETAC AC with 10 % of white-spirit, by stirring the
mixture for 2 or 3 minutes,
- add 80 % of water while continuing to stir the mixture.
- Spray the cleaning product for a few seconds under a pressure of 3 to 4 bar (42 to 56 psi),
proceeding from lower sections up to upper sections. Clean the airframe step by step, a small area
at a time.
- Brush, allow to act for approximately 3 minutes.
- Thoroughly rinse with running water under low pressure.
- Dry all the parts wet by rinsing water.
Look for water pockets (structural box lower section, double skin).
- Spray a light coat of type 1 solution diluted in two to five volumes of water over all surfaces.
- Allow to dry.
- IMMEDIATELY remove the dichromate crystals (yellow trace) with brush and water.
- Rinse, then dry.

B Foam

(1) General principle

Any foam residues are to be removed from the airframe.


Foam does not cause corrosion, except that due to water contained in the foam.

(2) Treatment of the airframe

Carry out the same procedure as for the halogen-containing products, but do not spray the coat
of type 1 solution.

AC
05-80 Restricted 0-202
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT MIRAGE F
BREGUET AVIATION
Restricted MANUAL 02

C Dry powder

(1) General principle

Any powder traces are to be removed from the airframe. Clean the moving parts because dry
powder may have abrasive effects.

(2) Treatment of the airframe

- Vacuum the powder out of the structural boxes, blow it from the skins.
- Carry out the operations set forth in para. «Foam».

D Carbon dioxide

Since carbon dioxide C02 is an inert non-toxic gas, no cleaning is required. The only damage
is that caused by the fire.

6- RESTORATION

The measures described hereabove make it possible to limit the structure corrosion due to fire
extinguishing products pending the repair of the airframe.
Restoration of the aircraft must always be preceded by a complete inventory of the damage
caused by the fire to the aircraft systems and to the primary and secondary structure.
Principles related to damage evaluation and repair are given in Structural Repair Manual.

SAFETY MEASURES TO BE TAKEN ON A CRASHED AIRCRAFT


(see figures 5 and 6)

1 - GENERAL

This sheet provides the main instructions which shall be applied immediately in the case of a
crashed aircraft. In most cases, the first operation on a crashed aircraft will be performed by
the fire fighting and rescue team, whose main task is:
-to prevent or put out the fire,
-to rescue the pilot,
-to make the A/C inert.
As regards fighting of aircraft fires, comply with the instructions stated by the general re¬
gulations in force. This chapter dealing with initial safety measures, is based on the assump¬
tion that the fire is already extinguished or has not broken out.

Action on a crashed A/C may be analyzed as follows:


-immediate safety/rescue measures,
-complementary safety measures,
-removal of aircraft to a safe area.

2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A - Special tools

-Adjustable wrench M.31 025 (door 1 7.04)

B - Ground support equipment

-Rescue vehicle specially equipped with:


-pole (to set the engine to idle position)
-forward crash towing system MS1317.
-Hoisting crane (F > 55 kN - 55 tons approx. - 62 U.S. tons approx.)

3 - IMMEDIATE SAFETY/RESCUE MEASURES

This study is divided into three sections:


-methods of access to the cockpit,
-safety operations,
-pilot rescue.

A Methods of access to cockpit

Access to the cockpit can be gained only from above, after manual opening, embrittlement or
breaking of the canopy.

(1 ) Aircraft not inverted and engine stopped

If the pilot did not open the canopy, it should be unlocked from the outside, and then removed. If
manual opening is impossible, proceed to canopy pyrotechnic embrittlement, then to disintegration
(see procedure in para. A (1) (b)).

(a) Opening by manual unlocking


- Place the multiple wrench on the male square at the front LH side of the canopy.

NOTE : A multiple wrench is to be found at door 1 7.04.

Turn the wrench one revolution clockwise.


-
Open the canopy up to its hooking point by moving it upwards.
-
- Disconnect the pyrotechnic fuze retaining cable then disconnect the fuzes.
- Remove the hinge arm pin by pulling the ring.
- Move the canopy upwards and tilt it rearwards until the hooks are disengaged, lift the canopy and
remove it on the side.

(b) Canopy pyrotechnic embrittlement


-Move the one side of the fuselage, break the glass panel, pull the ring to embrittle the canopy.

WARNING :
IN ORDER TO AVOID POSSIBLE PROJECTION OF PLEXIGLAS PIECES INTO THE EYES,
DO NOT TURN THE HEAD TOWARD THE CANOPY AT THE TIME OF EMBRITTLEMENT.

- Once the canopy is embrittled, disintegrate it by pulling the pieces of plexiglas outwards, then tilt
the larger remaining part of the canopy rearwards while having it swivel around its dacron hinge.

(c) Breaking the canopy

If removal cannot be achieved by any of the methods described above, the canopy must be cut out
or broken, starting as close as possible to the frame to avoid injuring the pilot, then tearing away the
pieces of plexiglas.

(2) Aircraft inverted and engine stopped

Access to the cockpit is impossible without any hoisting device.

To hoist the aircraft, proceed as follows :


- on either side of the cabin front section, break the plexiglas panels blanking the «crash hauling»
holes,
- install the crash hauling system,
- hoist the aircraft using the crane, embrittle or break the canopy (see para. A (1) (b) (c)).

(3) Aircraft not inverted and engine still running

Engine at idle : refer to para. A (1 ).


-
Engine still running (engine speed > idle) : in order to avert danger from the air intake suction
-
zone, it is mandatory to proceed as described below.

12-84 Restricted 0-214
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT /Lj>~i~\L
BREGUET AVIATION ^^F=^^<0.
MIRAGE F
^£^^^^ Restricted MANUAL 02

- move back to the fuselage dorsal fin behind the cockpit, facing the aircraft front section (pass
on the wings so as to avoid the suction zones),
- break the glass panel of the pyrotechnic embrittlement system ;

WARNING :
IN ORDER TO AVOID POSSIBLE PROJECTION OF PLEXIGLAS PIECES INTO THE EYES,
DO NOT TURN THE HEAD TOWARD THE CANOPY WHEN EMBRITTLEMENT TAKES
PLACE.

- pull the control until canopy embrittlement is obtained,


- move back to the fuselage dorsal fin in order to :
- disintegrate the canopy (see procedure in para A (1) (b)),
- set the engine to idle position by pulling back the throttle lever, using a boat hook.

(4) Aircraft inverted and engine still running


Firefighting and rescue crew action to choke engine.

B Safety operations

(1) Seat safety pins (to be found in a pocket, on LH rear section of pilot's parachute container)
Three safety pins should be mandatorily installed :
- ejection gun safety pin, so as to avoid untimely ejection of the pilot's seat,
- drogue gun safety pin,
- firing unit safety pin, if the canopy embrittlement system has not been used.

WARNING :
THE SHEARS INITIATOR MUST NOT BE FITTED WITH ITS SAFETY PIN.

(2) Aircraft safety devices


- Bring the throttle lever to «stop» position, pulling it backwards and operating the red flap so as
to override the idle stop.
-Set «LP MAIN COCK», «AB MAIN COCK», «LP PUMP RH» and «LP PUMP LH» switches to
«OFF» (these four switches are located on the LH console).
- On failure warning panel, set the battery switch to «off» position.
- Set the armament master switch to «off» position and lower the guard.
- Close both oxygen cocks (on ejection seat oxygen unit).

C Pilot rescue
WARNING :
DO NOT GRIP THE YELLOW AND BLACK HANDLE AT THE LOWER SECTION OF THE
SEAT (SEAT EJECTION CONTROL). DO NOT TOUCH THE QUICK-RELEASE FITTING.

First of all, the pilot should be separated from his seat ; to do this, actuate the yellow handle at
the LH lower section of the seat (separation of seat and pilot). This also triggers the shears initiator
(cutting of the cord connecting the pilot's parachute to the seat stabilizer drogue).

NOTE : The pilot is evacuated with his parachute.

(1 ) Pilot rescue with jib of rescue vehicle

Pass the parachute harness straps in the hooks of the hoisting beam and guide the pilot while
hoisting him clear of the cockpit.

(2) Pilot rescue with strap

If possible, unfasten the pack on which the pilot is sitting (fastener of the lowering line as well as
both quick-release fasteners on either side of the pack). The rescuer should face forward with one
foot on either side of the cockpit. He should then anchor both hooks to the thigh straps, adjust the
shoulder strap length and then lift the pilot who is received outside the cockpit by one of the rescuers.

4- A/C REMOVALTO THE LIMIT OF SAFETY ZONE

Generally, this operation is performed by the line rescue team. It disposes of a specific vehicle :
crane-truck or removal vehicle, parking of which should be mandatorily close to the vehicles of the fire
fighting and rescue team and to the ambulance. If it is impossible to tow the aircraft normally (U/C
damaged or retracted), clearing of the runway may be carried out in two different ways :

- A/C hoisting (see 02-2)


- A/C towing (see 02-2)

The means chosen to remove the aircraft will depend upon following requirements : rapidity of
operation, handling means in place, damages to the A/C. However, it should be mentioned that the
towing method will necessarily result in additional structure damage to the aircraft.

(1) A/C upside down

To bring the A/C to normal position, run a sling through the fitting of the wing pylon store ejector
and operate the crane.

5- ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES

Certain additional safety measures designed to prevent any technical incident during removal of a
crashed A/C should be performed by specialized personnel of the unit, if possible directly after previous
safety measures and prior to any further A/C handling, or at least directly after A/C hoisting or lifting.

( 1 ) Battery

- Remove the main A/C battery (door 11-03)

(2) Cockpit safety devices

- Install additional seat safety devices.

(3) Armament

- Remove external loads


- Unload the guns and remove ammunition box

(4) Fuel

- Remove pylon tanks


- In the case of a visible fuel leakage, drain the A/C system.

(5) Ejection seat

- Unload ejection seat, remove it (see 09-4)


- Remove seat ejection gun (see 09-4).

INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO ENGINE FIRE

1 - SCOPE
Although it is difficult:
-to find rapidly the origin and cause of the fire,
-to foresee possible spreading of a fire which breaks out,
the ground crew must immediately determine the areg where fire has broken out and make
sure that the special instructions are applied in the case of a fire which may be due to the en¬
gine.

2 - SAFETY MEASURES
WARNING -

HALOGEN FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ARE PROHIBITED.


A - IF EXTINGUISHERS WERE USED FOR PUTTING OUT THE FIRE, IMMEDIATELY RE¬
FER TO:

(1) SHEET "TREATMENT OF SURFACES CONTAMINATED WITH FIRE-EXTINGUISHING


PRODUCTS" (SEE 02-0).

CRAFT.
IF THE AIRCRAFT IS TO BE LIFTED IN THE OPEN AIR, ENSURE THE WIND DOES
NOT MAKE JACKING DANGEROUS.

Aircraft lifting requires the use of- three hydraulic jacks positioned as follows:

-Jacking fittings at F17,6 tons jacks,


-Jacking fitting at F36, 1 0 tons jack

A - Remove doors 15-04-2 and 15-08-2 so as to reach both fittings of frame 17, and the
plug so as to reach fitting of frame 36.

B - Fully screw manually the three ball joints in the jacking fittings (ball joint L 92.313 type
B at F1 7 - ball joint L 92.31 3 type C at F36).

C - Position the three jacks straight below the ball joints.


(1) Both 6 ton jacks (F17) should be positioned in such a way that the inner side of the tri¬
angle delimited by the jack legs is parallel to aircraft centerline, and that the hoisting pump is
placed to the outside.

(2) Should the aircraft centerline be materialized during the next operations, it is then recom-
mmended to position the 10 ton jack (F36) in such a way that one of its legs is not located
on said centerline.

D - Ensure that the jack shafts are approx. vertical. If needed, act upon the screws of the leg
adjustable shoes.

E - Using the coasting screw, bring the jacks close to the ball-joints

| F - Make sure that the wheels are free and the parking brake is not set.

3 - AIRCRAFT LIFTING

QUICK METHOD OF LEVELING AIRCRAFT


(see Figure 6)

1 - SCOPE

This sheet provides the easy and practical method of leveling an aircraft. The precision
obtained is sufficient to carry out the routine servicing operations and harmonization proce¬
dures.

2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A - Special tool
-Multiple wrench M31025 (door 17-04).

B - Ground support equipment


-Standard stepladder (2 m high)
-Weapons adjustment set MRA 9.

3 - PROCEDURE

A - Jack up the aircraft (see 02-2)


B - Open the canopy, then lock it
C - Clean the mating surface of the 3 leveling studs 1 located on the LH and RH cockpit side
formers (two on the left, one on the right) and position leveling ruler 2 (RMN9). Make sure
that the ruler is fitted with "single-seater" pin gauges at the front points.
NOTE: Fit the rear land of ruler RMN9 with:
- shim RMN9-100 for engine removal/installation,
- shim RMN9-200 for gun harmonization.
D - First position the aircraft horizontal (transversely) while acting on front lifting jacks so as
to bring the transversal spirit level air bubble to center position.
NOTE: It is more advisable to position the aircraft in very slight nose up attitude rather than in
nose down attitude because it is easier to control leveling operation while raising a
jack (instead of lowering it).
E - Next bring the longitudinal spirit level air bubble to center position while acting on rear
jack.
F - Check the transversal leveling is still correct.
-Leave the ruler in place during the operation for which the aircraft was leveled so as to
check that adjustments remain correct.

BE CAREFUL OF THE GAS DISCHARGE THROUGH VENT HOLE.

E Increase the pressure gradually up to 3.5 bar (50 psi). This pressure should be maintained throughout
the entire refilling operation.

NOTE : This filling pressure is defined, taking into account an average pressure loss of 1 bar through
the filling nozzle.
For reference, nominal pressure at tank inlet should be :

2.5 + q-5 bar ( 36 + 7Q psi).

F The 02 tank is replenished when there is a large continuous flow through vent hole.

NOTE : The tank capacity is 5 liters of liquid oxygen. (Replenishing requires 3 times the tank capa¬
city approx.).

G Close the oxygen dispenser delivery cock.

H Disconnect the filling nozzle from the tank filler and bleed the hose.

I Reinstall the plug onto tank filler port only when this no longer shows any trace of frost.

J Disconnect vent pipe. Place it back inside oxygen compartment, then close the door.

E - Reinstall connection protective plugs (wrench M 31025) and make sure they are locked.

3 - OIL INSPECTION

-Inspect recovered oil. In case of very black oil, it usually means that the gearbox operat¬
ing temperature is excessive.
-Check the accessory gearbox magnetic plug and filter (see 06-1 ).
-The presence of hydraulic fluid in the gearbox oil usually means that a hydraulic pump is
deteriorated (leak at pump drive system level). After checking the pump, rinse the gearbox in
the following manner :

-fill up the gearbox (see 02-3),


-have the engine run at 7000 rpm (83%), for 5 min. (see 02-3),
-thoroughly bleed the gearbox,
-refill the gearbox.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE


AND SHOCK-ABSORBER HEIGHT

1 - GENERAL

A Tire inflation pressure

These inflation pressures are given for an A/C resting on its wheels, with tires at ambient
temperature. After braking, allow the tires to cool before checking the inflation pressure.

NOTE : When checking the pressure, take into account variations in ambient temperature. For an
ambient temperature variation of ± 10°, apply a pressure variation as follows :
- ± 0.34 bar (4.9 psi) for the main wheels,
- ± 0.24 bar (3.4 psi) for the nose wheels.
If a pressure loss in excess of 5 % of initial pressure is noted over a 24 - hour period, the
wheel must be removed to check for airtightness.

B Shock-absorber height

Shock-absorber height (H) measurement is not an accurate measurement, but is considered as a


simple and fast means to check that the shock-absorber does not show any considerable charging
discrepancy which may be prejudicial to safety.

Nose U/C shock-absorber : H = distance between wheel axle box upper face and rotating tube
lower bearing face.

Main U/C shock-absorber : H = distance between lower bearing face and shock-absorber bottom
upper edge.

NOTE : Such a shock-absorber bottom upper edge may be covered with rubber cement applied at that
location. It will be therefore necessary to slightly remove rubber cement at the measuring
point.

In addition to values specified in following table, it is imperative that the shock-absorber


concerned should be checked as follows, so as to identify leakage (gas or hydraulic fluid) :

The method consists in measuring the following (preferably 2 or 3 hours after flight) :
-
- pressure with shock-absorber fully released and A/C jacked up,
- temperature.
- Any pressure/temperature point located outside the theoretical range will indicate that the
charging pressure is to be checked (see 5-0).
- Any pressure/temperature point located inside the theoretical range will indicate that the shock-
absorber is to be removed for hydraulic fluid level check (see 05-1 and 05-3).

absorbers by transmitting oscillatory movements to the wingtips.

The examples below indicate stores carrying capability with full fuel load.

(a) At aircraft weight less than 13.5 tonnes (29,762 lb), stores carrying capability is approximately
2 tonnes, as follows :
- one RP35 under fuselage plus LR155 at station 1, or any equivalent load,
- operational stores at station 1 or station 2.

(b) At aircraft weight greater than 13.5 tonnes (29.762 lb), stores carrying capability is higher

A Preliminary steps (phase 1 )

(1) On missile launcher, check that :


- front fairing (1 ) of the missile launcher is open ; if required open it,
- safeties (2) and (3) are installed..

Ground safety pin (3) should not be removable.

Otherwise, perform the following operation :


-lift
snubbers (6) by actuating their control (7) in «DEBLOCAGE APPUIS LATERAUX -
UNLOCK SNUBBERS». direction ; the firing pins of the missile launcher should retract ; ground safety
pin (3) should be no longer removable.

(2) Fit the elevator trolley with hoist arm and straps.
- Prepare the elevator trolley and the hoisting device (phase 2).
- Disengage the missile from the transportation trailer ; begin hoisting.

(3) On missile
- Release missile/missile launcher junction cable (8).
- Make sure that the guard of the proximity fuse doesnot impede hooking (the thinner section of
the rubber strap should be passed behind the front fitting).
- Check that the safety pins are present on the screws of the missile junction belt.
- Remove the shunt from rocket motor firing pins.
- Check for presence of the irdome cover.

B Operation (phase 3)

- Keep on hoisting missile until it comes in line with missile launcher.


- If required, improve missile position so as to install hooking fittings level with missile launcher
rails.

Two operators are required to hook the missile ;a third one operates the elevator trolley.
- Install the missile so that front hooking fitting is located behind the missile launcher retention
mechanism, opposite the black marks made on missile launcher body.
- Engage the missile hooking fittings fully home in the missile launcher rail and push the missile
fully forward against stop.
- After this operation, an operator should install and lock extracting lever (9) of the breakaway
connector on base ( 1 0) of the missile.
- Using special wrench, actuate «APPUIS LATERAUX - SNUBBERS» control as follows :
-insert the wrench into control (7) while aligning its lever arm with the «DEBLOCAGE
APPUIS LATERAUX - UNLOCK SNUBBERS» reference mark,
- turn the wrench in the «BLOCAGE-LOCK» direction until its lever arm is aligned with the

form the following operations:
-engine ventilation,
-engine starting.

2 - SAFETY MEASURES

WARNING:
BEFORE DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON, MAKE SURE THAT ENGINE ROTATION
SPEED IS NIL (N -«*- 0).
HOWEVER, IF SAFETY DICTATES (FIRE INSIDE ENGINE FOR INSTANCE OR OPERA¬
TIONAL REASONS), IMMEDIATELY PERFORM STARTING ONCE N < 1000 rpm
(12%) REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF PREVIOUS STARTS AND THE TIMES IN¬
VOLVED.

A - The start button is to be positively actuated for approximately 1 second, NEVER DE¬
PRESS IT FOR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS.

B - If the turbostarter operates for more than 25 seconds (audio check) or in the case of any
failure requiring turbostarter stopping, switch off the power supply using the start circuit
breaker or battery switch.

C - If the turbostarter is not switched off by the phonic wheel sensor upon engine starting, it
is to be manually shut down before the engine rotation speed reaches 2450 rpm (29%) by
moving the throttle lever to the "stop" position and by tripping the start circuit breaker.

D - When, due to any discrepancy, the turbostarter operates for at least 30 seconds, remove
the engine and send it to the 2nd line workshop.

3 - GENERAL

A - The approved adjustment for the altitude starting bypass valve is:
-H < 6500 ft (2000 m): arrow on "N" position,
-H > 6500 ft (2000 m): arrow on "A" position.
B - Any actuation of the start button must be considered as a start.

C - Audio check of the turbostarter ignition is performed by listening to the gas generator
typical whistling. If the turbostarter fails to start, the ground crew must immediately inform the
pilot who has to make a new attempt. The pilot can be informed of turbostarter complete stop
when no longer hearing the interference in his headset.

(3) While watching the RPM and JPT indicators, make sure the engine speed increases nor¬
mally. If starting is normal (600 °C < JPT < 650 °C), engine acceleration should be smooth
and N should be at least 2000 rpm (24 %) after about 1 5 seconds.
The "OIL" light should remain on when N < 2000 rpm (24 %) ; otherwise, replace the oil
pressure switch (see 06-5), and
The "BOV" light should remain out when : N > 2200 rpm (26.2 %).
(Engine modification No. 303 or 338 or
357 incorporated)
N = 2900 ± 1 00 rpm (34.5 % ± 1 .2 %)
(Engine modification No. 303 not
incorporated) ;
otherwise, shut down the engine.

(4) IMMEDIATELY shut down the engine if :

(a) the engine speed does not exceed 1300 rpm (15.5 %),
(b) there is no JPT indication,

(c) the jet pipe temperature reaches 900°C or if it exceeds 850°C for more than 3 seconds.
If the jet pipe temperature peak systematically exceeds 850°C and is less than 900°C for
less than 3 seconds, perform trouble shooting.
If the jet pipe temperature peak exceeds 900°C and is less than 950°C for less than 3 sec¬
onds:
-perform trouble shooting,
-check the turbine visually, through the inside of the exhaust duct,
-report the trouble in the engine logbook so as to have the turbine blades checked during
the next periodic inspection.
If the jet pipe temperature peak exceeds 850°C for more than 3 seconds or if it exceeds
950°C, remove the engine and send it to second line maintenance;
(d) the engine "chatters" without accelerating
C - False starts
(1 ) Should engine shutdown be necessary during the starting sequence:
(a) bring the trottle lever to "stop",
(b) release "START" circuit breaker.
As soon as the engine stops:
(c) set "LP PUMP" switch to "off" position,
(d) set "LP MAIN COCK" switch to "off" position.
CAUTION:
IN CASE OF DANGER ONLY, CLOSE THE LP MAIN COCK AS SOON AS THE THROT¬
TLE LEVER IS RETURNED TO "STOP".
(2) If a start performed after a false start resulting in fuel accumulation in the exhaust duct,
move the trottle lever so as to obtain 7500 rpm (89.5%) as soon as engine operation is self-
sustained (N £ 2500 rpm (30%)). This procedure enables the trapped fuel to be evacuated
from the exhaust duct and nozzle flaps.
D - Idle RPM
(1) The idle RPM is 2900 ± 100 rpm (34.5 ± 1.2%). In some cases (e.g. on a cold engine),
the rotation speed may be less than the normal speed or oscillate between 2600 and 3200 rpm
(31 and 38%), even through the trottle lever is at idle. This phenomenon should disappear
when the engine temperature is stabilized.
(2) Check the following lights: "OIL", "BOV", "HYD.1", "HYD.2" ... out.
CAUTION:

-DURING STARTING, ENGINE RPM MAY BE INCREASED SO AS TO OBTAIN AL¬


TERNATOR CUTTING-IN (CUTTING-IN THRESHOLD AT 2930 rpm (35%) FOR A
LOAD OF12kVA).
-DURING RUN-UP, AS THE ALTERNATOR VENTILATION IS RESERVED, NEVER
BRING FOREIGN MATTER CLOSE TO THE VENTILATION PORT (RISK OF SUC¬
TION).
-ENGINE MODIFICATION No. 338 NOT INCORPORATED (ENGINE MODIFICATION
No. 303 INCORPORATED OR NOT):
STABILIZED ENGINE RPM'S BETWEEN 4000 AND 5000 rpm (47.6 AND 59.5%) ARE
TEMPORARILY FORBIDDEN (REACTION OF FIRST ENGINE ROTOR STAGE
BLADES).
-DO NOT REMAIN WITHIN THE 5500 TO 6000 rpm (65.5 TO 71.4%) RANGE CORRE¬
SPONDING TO ALTERNATOR CUTTING-IN (SPEED CHANGE BETWEEN 5630 AND

ENGINE SHUT-DOWN

1 - SCOPE

This sheet provides the operations required for engine shut-down and specially for checking the
run-down time.

2- INSTRUCTIONS

A- If required follow INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO ENGINE FIRE (see 02-0).

B In the case where oil topping-up is anticipated after engine shut-down :


after a long duration run-up at idle RPM,
-
-after a test of EMERGENCY REGULATION without complying with the oil recovery instruc¬
tions, run the engine at 7200 RPM (86 %) approx. for about 2 minutes.

C- AFTER ENGINE OPERATION AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 7000 RPM (83.5 %), IT IS
MANDATORY NOT TO STOP THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, BUT TO RUN IT AT7000 RPM (83.5%)
FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE SO AS TO VENTILATE AND COOL THE ENGINE CHAMBER.

3- ENGINE SHUT-DOWN

A- Stabilize the engine still running, at «Idle» (2900 ± 100 RPM, (34.5 % ± 1), engine temperature
stabilized).

B Override the idle stop and bring throttle lever to «stop» (in abutment), simultaneously start
the stopwatch.
Check that the «OIL» light comes on when N < 2000 rpm (24 %).

C Watch the drain outlet and ensure that the fuel flows normally.

D At the «signal» given by the mechanic placed near the jet pipe, stop the stopwatch (the «signal»
indicates the time when the turbine wheel stops). Wait 15 seconds approx. after bringing throttle lever
to «stop», then move to the jet pipe.
E After complete rotor stop, set «LP PUMP» switches to «off».
F - Set «LP MAIN COCK» switch to «closed». Allow at least 5 seconds to elapse (cock closing time).

G - Set «BATT» switch to «OFF».

4- CHECK OF RUN-DOWN TIME

A Check the engine run-down time and enter it in the corresponding aircraft form. It should be
greater than 25 seconds, with the hydraulic systems under pressure.

B - As each aircraft (airframe equipment + engine) is characterized by a proper and practically cons¬
tant (to a few seconds) run-down time, this check will be a comparison in relation to previous engine
stops.

NOTE : The influence of the wind (head or tail wind) shall be taken into account because it can
appreciably modify the run-down time.

C Should there be abnormal change of run-down time between two consecutive engine shut-downs,
refer to manual 06-5.

2 - GENERAL

This test can be carried out either:


-as a specific check (e.g. braking or AB ignition tests), or
-for trouble shooting after unconclusive investigations during static ground runs (e.g. fai¬
lures that may be due to vibrations).

This sheet describes the preparatives for the rolling test and the test itself. The specific
checks concerning the test will be covered in this sheet. Only those of the tests that are found
to be necessary should be performed.

This test is to be carried out upon approval of the local command who will estimate the
need for it and also take all necessary safety measures with due allowance for requested in¬
spection and the failure investigated.

3 - PRELIMINARY STEPS
The required amount of fuel is 2000 I approx. (528 US.gal., 3526 lb, 1600 kg).

The fuel tanks should only be partially filled except where a fully loaded A/C is needed
for the test.
The aircraft is to be prepared as for an ordinary flight.

CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAT SAFETY DEVICES HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA OF FUEL LEAKS AT


INTEGRAL TANKS

1 - SCOPE

Classification of leakages and working-out of the required remedies.

2- GENERAL

The external leaks are usually tolerable if they remain at a low level after the pressure drop inside
tanks.
The leaks entailing fuel flowing in the air ducts, the engine chamber, or related to these leakages,
MAY NOT BE TOLERATED. Only stains and seepage are permitted.
Fuel accumulation in a compartment is NOT PERMITTED.

CLASSIFICATION AND REPAIR CRITERIA

CLASSIFICATION OF LEAKAGES REQUIRED REMEDIES

Stain - Colored trace of fuel


- Wiped, does not reappear within one
hour

Seepage - Large stain


- When wiped, reappears within one hour.
A drop may even appear during that
time.

Drop by drop - Several drops within one hour


leakage without pressurization.
- To know its importance, apply pressure
to the tanks for three hours.
Under such circumstances, the drop - May be allowed to continue
by drop leakage is lower than or providing, it is monitored
about 60 drops per minute. daily.
- To be repaired during the
next long term storage of
the aircraft unless it grows and
is included in a higher class.

Drip - More than 60 drops per minute - To be repaired as soon as


possible. An impending
periodical inspection may
however be waited for, while
watching the drip regularly.

Trickle - Drops cannot be numbered. - Immediate repair.

CHECK OF NORMAL OXYGEN SYSTEM


1 - GENERAL
The following operations are complementary to the operations carried out during daily in¬
spection of equipment (see 02-5). These operations shall be systematically performed when
replacing a component of the oxygen system or when reconnecting the quick-release coupl¬
ing. In that case, check the radio equipment (microphone and earphones) for correct opera¬
tion.
2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
-Oxygen mask
-Helmet (headset)
- Cockpit access ladder
-11 5-200 V/400 Hz electrical power supply.
3 - PRELIMINARY STEPS
CAUTION:
~ WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING THE OXYGEN LINE OF THE MASK,
NEVER PRESS FOR ANY REASON THE FLEXIBLE PARTS (HOSE AND MOLDED
END-PIECE) OF THE OXYGEN LINES OF THE MASK AND JUNCTION ASSEMBLY.
ONLY METAL PARTS OF THE CHEST CONNECTOR ARE TO BE HANDLED AS FOL¬
LOWS:
-COMPRESS THE CONNECTOR BY BEARING ON THE STOP LOCATED ON THE
REAR SECTION OF EACH END-PIECE.
-ROTATE THE LOCKING BUSH IN THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTION.
(1 ) Apply power to the aircraft systems.
(2) Check oxygen tank contents (see 02-5).
(3) Open the normal oxygen cock, then the emergency oxygen cock, and check that the
5 mn OX" warning light goes out.

IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE COCKS BE OPENED IN THE ABOVE SEQUENCE.


(4) Put on the headset.
(5) Switch on the warning horn.
4 - CHECKING OPERATION OF NORMAL SYSTEM
CAUTION:
HTURDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE REGULATOR:
-NEVER APPLY PRESSURE SUPPLY TO THE REGULATOR WHEN THE CHEST CON¬
NECTOR PORT IS BLANKED OFF OR AFTER THE BLANKING COVER HAS BEEN FIT¬
TED UPON REMOVAL OF THE JUNCTION ASSEMBLY.
-NEVER BLANK OFF, EVEN PARTIALLY, THE DELIVERY PORT OF A REGULATOR
TO WHICH PRESSURE IS APPLIED (e.g., CHEST CONNECTOR PORT) WHEN THE SE¬
LECTOR IS SET TO "S" (EMERGENCY).
NOTE: Disregarding these directions would result in an overpressure with subsequent damage
to the "demand" delivery diaphragm.
This danger is not present wnen the mask is connected or when the junction assembly
is connected to the seat stowage connector.

A - Manual selector set to "N" (normal).

(no flow), as the threshold of the flow detector should not be exceeded.

(3) Check that the audio warning signal is heard.


NOTE: A very slight flow perceived when the mask is not placed on the face corresponds to
normal operation.

(4) Place the mask on the face, breathe in and out two or three times ; no difficulty in breathing
should be experienced.

The failure warning panel «OX.REG»light should go out and the audio signal should be cut off.

Check that the blinker is :


- white when breathing in,
- black when breathing out.

(5) Depress the overpressure button. A slight overpressure should be felt in the mask.

(6) Start a stopwatch when removing the mask (continuous flow). The «OX. REG» Ugh;: should
come on and the warning horn should sound after 22 ± 3 seconds.

(7) Cancel overpressure by depressing the button again.

NOTE : As overpressure is intended to improve mask sealing when in polluted environment, it is


obviously used only with the manual selector set to «100 %» ; the position of this selector
is however of no importance during the test.

(8) Cancel the failure by inhaling in the mask.

(9) Start a stopwatch when disconnecting the mask (flow stop). The «OX. REG» light should come
on and the warning horn should sound after 22 ± 3 seconds.

(10) Connect the mask and cancel the failure by inhaling.

B Manual selector set to «100 %»

(1 ) Check that the position repeater shows a white square.

(2) Place the mask on the face and breathe in and out several times : no difficulty in breathing should
be experienced.

C Manual selector set to «S» (emergency)

(1 ) Check that the position repeater shows a red square.

(2) Place the mask on the face and ensure that oxygen flow is continuous.

(3) Check that the blinker shows a white fixed square.

(4) Reset the manual selector to «N» (normal).

D Checking the anti-g system

(1) Open the anti-g valve cock and open the anti-g suit connector by lifting the blanking cap and

Inspection of aircraft enabling monitoring of possible deterioration (corrosion in partic¬


ular).

2 - GENERAL

The aircraft structure shall be inspected visually for:


-general cleanness,
-deterioration of anticorrosion protection,
-incipient corrosion.

The inspection shall cover the points particularly prone to the development of corrosion.

(a) General cleanness

Localized or generalized build-up of dirt, leading to a decision to rinse, remove any de¬
posits, or wash the aircraft (either partially or totally).

(b) Deterioration of anticorrosion protection

Blistering, flaking or removal of paintwork, necessitating touch-up operations; these may


be scheduled for the next periodic inspection (the aircraft will continue to be periodically
checked) or else carried out at the earliest opportunity in the case of incipient corrosion.

(c) Incipient corrosion

Any degree of incipient corrosion:


-pitting,
-intergranular ("intercrystalline") corrosion (blistered surfaces detected by means of a
light source directed at a very close angle towards countersinks, fittings or edges of sheets),
-filiform corrosion (a threadlike network developing underneath the paint surface around
countersinks, sheet edges or scratches),
-oxydation,
which may be observed at any of the corrosion-prone areas listed below, shall entail:
-a more detailed inspection,
-treatment of the incipiently corroded areas with the minimum of delay (see Structural

EXPLANATION AND USE OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1- MAINTENANCE MANUAL COMPOSITION

Each Manual comprises :

A A title page identifying the publication.

B A list of effective pages which is the record of all the pages making up the Manual. It determines
the Manual breakdown.

C A list of modifications included in the Manual. This list which is specific to each manual records
only those modifications which affect the Manual concerned.

D A table of contents which lists the Sections making up the Manual.

E The various Sections making up the Manual.

2- BREAKDOWN OF A MAINTENANCE MANUAL SECTION

Three different kinds of «Sections» can be defined in a Maintenance Manual depending on


whether the Manual deals with an aircraft system or special information.

A Common Sections in a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.

Each of these Sections is subdivided into 9 Sub-Sections which are assigned an unchanging title
and sequence number :

Sub-Section Sub-Section title


No

0 - General
1 - Description and operation
2 - Trouble shooting
3 - Removal- Installation
4 - Disassembly-Assembly
5 - Inspection-Check-Adjustment
6 - Cleaning-Corrosion preventive treatment-
Painting
7 -Storage-Preservation-Transportation
8 - Repair

NOTE:
(1) Maintenance and lubrication are covered by Sub-Section 6.
(2) In each Manual, Sub-Section 7 deals with the matter of preservation-packaging and transportation
relating to the individual items of the system to which the Manual is applicable and which forms the
subject of an incorporated documentation. As concerns the complete aircraft, this matter is dealt with
in the «GENERAL» Manual.
(3) Sub-Section 8 covers the reconditioning operations for the items of the system to which the
Manual is devoted. The structural repairs of the aircraft form the subject of a separate Manual
«STRUCTURAL REPAIRS».
(4) Any Sub-Section which is not applicable is not shown.

B - GENERAL INFORMATION Section of a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.


Its breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with an
aircraft system.
The structure of this Section is «as required» and this Section deals with all the matters which are
common to the other Manual Sections.

This Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.
C Sections of a Manual dealing with general or specific information.

Their breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with
an aircraft system.

The structure of these Sections is «as required» in accordance with general or technical information
forming the subject of the Section.
Each Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.

3- ARRANGEMENT OF A COMMON SECTION IN A MANUAL DEALING WITH A SYSTEM

A - Sub-Section 0 - GENERAL
This is an introductory Sub-Section which gives the general principles of the functional system
covered by the Section. A schematic diagram is usually attached to this Sub-Section.

B - Sub-Section 1 - DESCRIPTION - OPERATION

This Sub-Section is arranged as follows :

(1 ) A table of components, lists all the units, accessories and equipment items of the system concerned,
in the logical descriptive sequence. It gives the essential characteristics of these equipment items, their
function in the system concerned, their location within the aircraft and it indicates whether the
relevant documentation is separate or incorporated.
Layout illustrations are usually attached to this Sub-Section, which also refers to the functional diagram.
The purpose of the table of components is to clarify the system description, by specifying the purpose
and the characteristics of the various components.
In this table, the units, accessories or equipment items are identified by :
- the reference designation for those equipment items which have an electrical function.
- a sequential index number (1 to X) when the item is not assigned any reference designation.
Note that the values shown in the table of components are rated values. When tolerances apply to
these values, they are always given in the Sub-Section which deals with maintenance.

(2) A text portion which describes the system operation in detail. This refers to the functional diagram.
NOTE The detailed description and operation of the individual equipment items are given in their
:
separatedocumentation or, if applicable, in the documentation known as the incorporated
documentation (see below).

(3) The description-operation part of the «incorporated documentation» for some equipment items is
contained in pages or groups of pages which are independent and placed next to the description and
operation of the system to which they belong.

The «incorporated documentation» is given in the same order as it appears in the table of
components ; it is illustrated whenever necessary and the internal index numbers are given in the
sequence 1 to X for each component, independently of the index numbers shown in the table of
components.

C - Sub-Sections 2 to 8 :

These Sub-Sections give all technical information on the maintenance of the functional system
which forms the subject of the Section.

(1 ) Each Maintenance operation is described in the Sub-Section corresponding to its category.

At the head of each group of pages which describe details of an operation, the following
information will be found :

(a) Equipment required which lists the tools and ground support equipment required to perform the
operation. Since the tools are grouped in homogeneous kits, only the tool kit to be used is specified.
However, the tools are indicated in the text by :
- the dimension across flats (in mm) for the spanner to be used when standard tools are concerned,
unless a specific spanner must be used.
- the part number when special tools or special ground support equipment are concerned.

(b) Materials. The standard designation of the materials used, or the commercial designation if the
former is not available, is shown under this heading.
However, the standard designation suffixes are shown only in the «list of various products and
materials» in the «GENERAL» Manual.
If only one material is used during the operation, its designation is not recalled in the text which details
the operation.

(c) Spares. Only the spares which are systematically required are shown by their names supplemented,
ifnecessary, by an indication in order to avoid any confusion in their location. Reference shall be
made to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown to find their part numbers. The only exception to this rule is
the standard hardware, for which the standard part number is shown.

(2) The man-hours required for the performance of the operation are not given in the description of
the operation, but in the table of periodic maintenance operations included in Manual 01 «GENERAL».

4- IDENTIFICATION ON INSPECTION DOORS

The figures showing the location of the inspection doors, are part of Manual 01 «GENERAL», to
which reference should be made.
The door numbering principles are as follows :

A Sub-assembly on which a door is located.

- Fuselage - the number consists of four digits.


- Wings - the number consists of letter V followed by three digits.
- Stabilator - the number consists of letter E followed by three digits.
- Fin - the number consists of letter D followed by three digits.

B Fuselage doors

The first two digits show the number of the frame forward of the door, the next two digits are the
clock position of the door within the fuselage section in which it is located :
- example : fuselage door between F.29 and 30 in the middle part of the R/H side : door 29-03.

1 VJ7 L. T
BREGUET AVIATION^sL ^ ^
__ _ Restricted

C Wing doors

The first digit locates the door in relation to the rib which precedes the door from the aircraft
centreline to the wing tip.
The last two digits indicate in which of the following areas is the door :
1 to 29 - leading edge

30 to 59 - centre wing box


60 to 90 -trailing edge.

The door numbering direction is from the wing root to the wing tip and from the leading edge to
the trailing edge.
Even numbers apply to the upper surface doors and odd numbers apply to the lower surface doors.
- example : door located between ribs 1 and 2 on the upper surface within the centre wing box :

V 138.

D Fin doors. Same principle as for the wings

The odd numbers apply to the L/H side and the even numbers apply to the R/H side.

E Stabilator doors. Same principle as for the wings.

5- DIAGRAM DRAWING RULES

There are three kinds of diagrams :

- schematic diagrams
- functional diagrams
- wiring diagrams.

A Schematic diagram. The schematic diagram is drawn in block form, showing the main component
interconnections, illustrating the functional principle of the system and the connections to the other
systems or functions:

B Functional diagram. The functional diagram represents all the units, accessories and equipment
items making up the system and their functional connections. The detailed operation of the function
can be followed on that diagram.
The functional diagrams are usually shown in inoperative condition (i.e. no pressure, no power, aircraft
on its wheels). The complex functions may be illustrated by several functional diagrams associated with
the main operating phases.
The equipment inside is represented in the form of a block or symbol. For the actual equipment
illustration it is necessary to refer to the relevant publication.
The functional diagrams show the terminals except for the relays, on/off switches, selector switches and
indicator lights.
The functional diagrams define the type of the information conveyed. Disconnections and grounding
connections are not shown unless an aircraft boundary is concerned.

(1) Test connectors on equipment. The test points are shown by the associated terminal number
which is encircled and hooked to the tested circuit. If there are several test connectors, the reference
designation of the connector to which the point belongs is written next to the test point.

(2) Aircraft test connectors. These are shown with their terminal numbers and reference designations
in the same manner as the other aircraft wiring connectors.

C Wiring diagram. The wiring diagrams form the subject of Manual 16 to which reference should be
made.

D Symbols used in the diagrams. The symbols used in the diagrams are shown in the following

REVISION OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1 - PUBLICATION DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE

This development is performed in two steps :

A Issue of supplements which are temporarily incorporated in the publications.

B Actual revision which permanently incorporates information in the publications. Such information
may be newly issued or previously published in supplements (replacement of pages or addition of new
pages).

2- REVISION TO PUBLICATIONS

A Procedure

Revision involves two operations :


- insertion of new pages and replacement of modified pages.
- systematic replacement of the title page and list of effective pages which serves as a guide to the
insertion of revised pages.

B Page numbering

First case - Addition of one or more new pages following the last page of a Sub-Section.
The pages are numbered in the normal order.

Second case : Jnsertion of one or more new pages between two existing pages.
The new page(s) bears the number of the preceding page followed by a capital letter, with the exception
of letters 1, 0 and Z.
The letters are chosen in every case so as to provide for maximum further insertions unless the initial
numbering sequence is changed.
The principle is illustrated in the table below :

3rd insertion
Successive
2nd insertion

Example :
Assuming that several pages are to be inserted in succession between pages 6 and 7. The first one
will be numbered 6M, the second one 6F if it is to be placed before 6M, or 6T if it is to be placed after
6M. Similarly, if it is necessary to insert a third page later on, its number will be 6F or 6T, 6C or 6J, 6Q
or 6W as applicable.

Assuming that the following are to be inserted simultaneously :


- 2 pages : they will be numbered 6H and 6R.
- 3 pages : they will be numbered 6F, 6M and 6T.

Third case - Insertion of a new page following application of an official modification. The principle
consists in showing up the two states simultaneously in the publication, i.e. post- and pre-modification.

(a) The modification can be inserted according to the principle stated above without altering the page
numbering sequence : There will be a new page which supersedes the preceding one.

(b) As a result of the insertion of both states (post- and pre-modification), if the number of pages
increases, the solution will be as follows :
-both the pre- and post-modification pages will bear the same number. «MOD...X» will be shown
on top of the date on the modified page (this means modification X applied). Both pages will be shown
in the list of effective pages with.

Remark : These two pages may have different dates.

(c) Where a complete paragraph or a Section is deeply affected by a modification (most of the pages
changed), the complete paragraph which is modified will be found first and followed by the complete
paragraph which is not modified. The table of contents will list both paragraphs (or Sections).

The unmodified pages will be deleted during a further revision only when the modification has
been applied to all aircraft.

C Identification of revised text portions

The modifications to the text, insertion or deletion, are identified by a vertical line in the margin.

Those pages which are entirely changed are identified by a vertical line in the margin on a level
with the date of issue.

TRANSLATION OF REPETITIVE ABBREVIATIONS

To avoid the necessity of creating English versions of certain illustrations the.translations of the
legends have been added in italic script and the standard french abbreviations have been unchanged.

Furthermore, to ensure ready reference, the same abbreviations have been used in the parts of the
text which correspond to such illustrations.

A key to the standard french abbreviations is given below :

AR («arrière») = Rear L («lisse») = Stringer


AT («attaque») = Drive Lg («longeron») = Spar
AV («avant») = Front Lgt («longeronnet»)= False spar
C («cadre») = Frame M («médiane») = Middle
Cst («constant») = Constant N («nervure») = Rib
e («épaisseur») = Thickness R («rail») = Track

MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLE

1 - WING MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLE (Fig. 4)

Each wing, mainly made of light alloy comprises some high tensile strength components.

It essentially consists of a multi-spar main structure box 1 of integral construction on which are
hinged droop 2 and slotted 3 leading edge slats, inboard 7 and outboard 6 wing flaps and spoilers 5. On
the structure box, all the seams are performed by titanium SL rivets and « HUCK » bolts.

to the fuselage by three fittings.


Each wing is attached
One main fitting embedded between frames 25a and 25b transmitting the components due to
-
bending moment, lift and drag loads. Besides, the rear and front faces transmit a component of the
twisting moment.
- One front fitting at location of frame 22 and
- One rear fitting at location of frame 28.

These two fittings transmit the components of the twisting moment.

2- FUSELAGE MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLE (Figure 5)

The light alloy fuselage is a semi-integral monocoque construction with frames, stringers and skins.

The fuselage bending strength is ensured by the skin stiffened by the stringers, four of which are
preponderant, two at the upper section (stringers L1) and two at the lower section (stringers L20).

The twisting strength is ensured by the skin which is maintained in shape by the stringers and the
frames. These various components are assembled by titanium screws, titanium SL rivets, HUCK rivets
and standard rivets as well as by welding spots at pressurized compartments.

Skins

The external skins are made of panel assembly, chemically milled or formed sheet, of various
thicknesses.
These skins are cut out to accommodate the various doors (See STRUCTURAL REPAIR
MANUAL)

3- NOSE CONE

Itis a conventional structure box with frames, webs, stringers and skin. The distribution of webs
and floors is such that it allows for maximum equipments. The access doors to the various
compartments are distributed on either side of the nose cone, so as to ensure correct stiffness. The front
section is extended by a radar nose cone.

4- TAIL CONE

It consists of an assembly made of machined sheet metals strengthened by frames.

5- STABILATOR MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLE (Fig. 6)

Each light alloy stabilator consists essentially of a multi-spar main structure box 1 of integral
construction.

Forward, the main structure box is extended by leading edge 2 of conventional structure, and,
aftward, by trailing edge 4 of honeycomb structure. A removable tip fairing 3 is located at the outboard
end of the structure box.

Each stabilator includes one actuating cylinder and two bearings fitted with one hinge pin integral
with fuselage.

The two bearings transmit, to the structure, the components due to :

- bending moment
-lift
-drag
- twisting moment.

The actuating cylinder transmits the component due to twisting moment.

Since loads are high, root rib section, at location of internal bearing and actuating cylinder, is
made of steel.

6- VERTICAL STABILIZER MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLE (Fig.7)

The vertical stabilizer consists of fin and rudder.

The light alloy fin consists of a main multi-spar structure box 1 of integral construction.

Forward, the main structure box is extended by leading edge 2 of conventional structure, and,
rearward, by rudder 3.

Fin is attached to fuselage by three fittings :


- one central fitting embedded in frame 36 transmitting, to the structure, the components due to :

- bending moment
- side-slip
- drag
- one front fitting at frame 33 and,
- one rear fitting at frame 39b.

These two fittings transmit the components due to twisting moment.

ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTION

1 - PRINCIPLE

Anti-corrosion protection of aircraft structural parts is accomplished in two steps :

- basic protection
- secondary protection by painting.

This anti-corrosion protection concerns the whole of the aircraft with the exception of external
paint application.

ABBREVIATIONS USED:

I Phosphate etch primer, metal primer


P Zinc chromate primer
F1 First top coat
F2 Second top coat

A Basic protection is systematic

It is applied only on a detail part, i.e., a monolithic, unassembled part or a part made up of welded
components. This protective treatment is applied only after all machining operations, such as forming,
cutting out, drilling or countersinking on basic parts, have been completed.

It consists in :
- for light alloys :

- plating
- anodizing

- for steels :

- cadmium plating
- metal spraying
- phosphating

- for titanium :
- anodizing

- for magnesium
- chromate treatment.

B Protection by painting is mandatory but may be reinforced or lightened according to the area
involved.

There are three area types :

- accessible area :

Inspection of this area must be easy enough to enable detection of corrosion as from initial signs
of evidence. It must be possible to efficiently treat during routine maintenance operations.

- inaccessible area :

Any area where access is impossible.

- fuel area

Any sealed compartment forming a fuel tank.


Any item in permanent contact with fuel.

The different catégories of protective treatment shall be applied according to the area involved :
- normal protection
- light protection
- heavy protection

The table indicates the protective treatment applied during manufacture and according to the
aircraft area.

C Protective treatment operative scheme of application

In the following order :


- protection on a detail part before assembling
- protection on assembly of detail parts by injection, bead, caulking
- protection of fasteners (screw heads, rivets...)
- finishing

2- APPLICATION OF THE OPERATIVE SCHEME TO PROTECTION CATEGORIES FOR


HOMOGENEOUS ASSEMBLIES

In all cases, countersinks shall be protected by adhesive or non-adhesive sealant when these
countersinks are on skins in air, water or fuel tight areas.

To sum up :

(1 ) No caulking in the following particular cases :

- stainless steel to stainless steel


- titanium to stainless steel
- titanium to titanium.

(2) Caulking is carried out for assembling all parts made of :


- stainless steel
titanium or titanium alloy
-
magnesium alloy
-
whatever the material in contact with these parts (except for case 1 ).

B Protection of fasteners heterogeneous to the assembled materials.

(1) Assembly only between protected light alloy and cadmium plated part. (e.g. cadmium plated bolt
connecting light alloy parts).

The caulking is carried out under head and on shank in external areas and only when holes and
countersin kings are performed after protection.

- On countersinks in inaccessible areas.


It is carried out together with sealing in fuel areas.

- No caulking in accessible areas.

The final protection (Paint or PR application) is performed after assembly in inaccessible areas
and fuel areas.

(2) Assembly between - titanium or its alloys, magnesium alloys - stainless steels (e.g. assembly by
titanium screws, whatever the materials of assembled parts, except magnesium).

- Structure assembly - fixed installation on main structure.


- Caulking (even if protection is performed after drilling operation).

Standard installations
-
- Located, in inaccessible areas, installation is carried out without caulking (titanium attaching
screws).

(3) Removable assemblies (e.g. screwed inspection doors).

- No caulking under screw heads or on shanks whatever the materials in contact and the utilization
area.
- Countersinks and holes are mandatorily protected on detail parts (drilling prior to protection).

FUEL TANK SEALING

The integral tank sealing on wing group and fuselage is obtained according to the same principle.
Sealing of the various component connections and attachments is ensured by the use of miscellaneous
seals.

The products used are applied :

- with brush, or
- as bead or by injection, or
- by interlaying, or
- with brush or by filling and draining.

The product used with a brush or by filling process is applied as finishing inside the integral tanks.
All the surfaces are coated with a protective film.

1 - SEALING PRINCIPLE OF STRUCTURE COMPONENTS (Fig. 8)

A Visible sealing :
- Corner bead. Located inside or outside the structure box
- Inter sheet bead. Located on the edge of integral panels.

B Non visible sealing (not repairable)


Injected bead : through injection holes between 2 screws or 2 rivets. It is safetied either with
- a
corner bead or with a second injected bead.
- Interlaying coat (faying surface seal). It is flattened on installation by sheet stacking.

2- ATTACHMENTS

The sealing principle of assembly components is identical with that described above (Fig. 9).

3- WING GROUP SEALING (Fig. 10)

Structure sealing is obtained on installation by interlaying PR sealant between lower surface skin
and structural components (false spar 1 - rear spar) between ribs 1 and 2A - by injection in grooves
provided on skin (in area comprised between ribs OC and 1 and various fittings).

Then, access to the inside of structural boxes is easy and visible corner beads are readily applied
inside structure box.

Since upper surface skin is structure box closing side, sealing is made by two injected beads.

Corner beads can be applied inside or outside the structure box.


Any attachment passing between two seals is mandatorily reinforced with a safety pin.

Wing doors (Fig. 10).

Doors V1-54i and V2-50 are fitted with «0» rings.

probe rear fairing, laser telemeter fairing (filler valve compartment, door, refueling boom housing and
door between frames II and III are not heat-insulated),
-fuselage : between frames 1 and 2, in the lower equipment structure box (section F) -
between frames 2 and 3 on structure lower section (section G) - in cockpit (section H) and on equip¬
ment bay door (section J),
- in zone B : engine compartment and duct,
- in stabilator servo-control structure box.

2- DESCRIPTION

A Protected zones

(1) Zone A

Heat insulation is obtained by bonding «polyurethane» foam 2 protected by «Nylar», to the


internal faces ot the skin panels in the various structure boxes and of the removable components.

(2) ZoneB
(a) Between frames 26 and 36, protection on each side of the fuselage is by :
- three «Protecal» panels 3-4-5,
- one titanium thermal shield 6 covering the upper section of panel 3,
- two laminated plastic panels 7 - 8.

On LH side : one titanium thermal shield 6 covers the lower section of panel 3.
On RH side (modification 711 incorporated) : a titanium plate also covers the lower section of
panel 3.

Between frames 27 and 28, in engine compartment (detail R) :


-two titanium baffle plates 19-20, each of them secured with screws at front and rear sections.
These components are screwed on anchor nuts integral with tank internal structural skins by
special screws 9 (LH pitch) and on edge by screws 10 (sections N and P). The upper portion of the
ring at frame 31 also comprises a laminated plastic panel 11, bonded and riveted (section L).

(b) The portion of the engine compartment located between frames 38, 39A, 39B and 41 is protected
by «Vicotex» 648 laminated plastic plates covered with stainless steel watered sheets ; the latter are
held in place by edge jumpers 21. This protective device is secured to the structure by wide washers 17
and screws 18 attached with anchor nuts 23 (see detail, section M).

Such protection consists of :


- one upper component 12, between points C-C,
- two upper lateral components 13, RH and LH, between points C-F,
- one lower component 15, between points J-J,
- two lower lateral components 14, RH and LH, between points G-J,
-two stainless steel slide panels 16, LH and RH, between points F-G ; each panel is covered by
a bonded and riveted laminated plastic plate, consisting of two parts joined end to end.

At frame 41, the components are covered with seven stainless steel folded plates with laminated
plastic plates fitted between mating surfaces ; upper folded plate 24, LH and RH upper folded plates
25, LH and RH center folded plates 26, LH and RH lower folded plates 27 (frame 41, viewed from the
rear).

GENERAL INSPECTION OF RIVETING

1 - SCOPE

To define the general criteria for detecting the defective rivets and determining the rivets
to be replaced.

2 - DETECTION OF SUSPECTED RIVETS


A - Preliminary steps

Thoroughly clean the airframe prior to rivet inspection (see 03-0).

B - Defective rivets
A simple visual inspection allows defective rivets to be detected in the three following
cases:
-Rivet head broken or cracked,
-Rivet head showing one or several incipient wrinkles on its periphery,
-Rivet head separated from countersinking (or for example, mushroom-head rivet not
gripping the sheet) with the possibility of clearly inserting a 0.04 to 0.05 mm (0.0016 to
0.0020 in) minimum feeler gauge between the head and the sheet without any sheet motion
(these rivets are classed as loose rivets).

REMARK :
A blackish trail on the skin panels in the direction of the airstream ("comet tail") starting
from the head of a rivet or the cracked paint on its periphery is not sufficient evidence to de¬
cide that a rivet is loose and therefore defective.

Confirmation of a loose rivet can only be obtained by subjecting the rivet to a more thor¬
ough inspection so as to ensure that it no longer clamps the assembled components together.

C - Doubtful rivets

A slightly more thorough visual inspection allows detection of a doubtful rivet in the fol¬
lowing three cases:
-Rivet head deeply sunk in countersinking (sinking of 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) min in rela¬
tion to the skin).
-Rivet head deeply marked by riveting tool.
-Rivet head flared (head edges raised).

IMPORTANT NOTE :
In these three cases it is necessary to check that rivets effectively clamp the sheets. For
this purpose, put finger half on rivet head and half on skin while an aid using a tool handle al¬
ternately applies and releases pressure against the skin around the "doubtful" rivet. A relative
displacement of rivet in relation to skin clearly felt by the finger indicates that the rivet
"breathes". In this case, the "doubtful" rivet shall be considered as defective. As an alternative,
on thin gauge sheets, it is possible to knock rather strongly around the rivet (second finger
folded as when knocking on a door). When the rivet no longer clamps the sheets, a slight me¬
tal clicking of the skin sheet hitting the underlaying sheet can clearly be heard.

MANUAL 03mi i a i /-*->

D - Additional inspections
When a rivet is missing, clearly abnormal (head broken or wrinkled) or loose, the attach¬
ing rivets on either side must be checked.
If the cause of the abnormality is presumed as a consequence of aircraft use, the other areas
which may have been subjected to the same stress must be subjected to a careful inspection.
In the case of a rib, frame or in a riveting pattern, check the symmetrical area and inspect all
the other rivets of the rib, frame or riveting pattern concerned as indicated in paragraph 2 C.
When two rivets or more are ascertained as "defective" by simple visual inspection as de¬
fined in paragraph 2 B, on a rib or on a frame, check all the other rivets of such rib or frame,
using procedure described in paragraph 2 C.

When one rivet or more is ascertained as "defective" by simple visual inspection as de¬
fined in paragraph 2 B, on a riveting pattern, check all the other rivets of the row using proce¬
dure described in paragraph 2 C.

Any isolated rivet considered as good a priori in a row of defective rivets is to be checked
after unriveting of the defective rivets on the one hand and installation of spare rivets on the
other hand, using procedure described in paragraph 2 C, but it is not to be systematically re¬
placed, for it will depend on the limitations specified in paragraph 3.

If the paint film is broken around a rivet head, make sure that no corrosion has developed
under the paint, then protect the rivet periphery after treating any corrosion detected
| (see Structural Repair Manual, 1 -361).

3 - DETERMINATION OF RIVETS TO BE REPLACED


A - Rivets to be replaced mandatorily
On ribs, frames or stringers. Any rivet with a broken, cracked or wrinkled head must be
replaced, even when it is isolated in a row.

On sheet edges, door framings, clusters of ribs or any vital attachment, any rivet consid¬
ered defective (loose rivet or rivet head not seated against the sheet to be clamped) shall be
replaced.

No loose rivet is tolerated in the engine air intakes.

B - Tolerated rivets
As a general rule, the following rivet defects may be accepted without the need of re¬
placement:
-On rib, frame or spar:
Two loose rivets per linear meter on a rnajor component rib, spar or frame, provided that they
are separated by at least twenty good rivets and not located in clusters.

NOTE: A rib is always considered as complete (upper surface + lower surface).

-On the other rows (stringers, stiffeners or components without load transfer):
Four loose rivets per linear meter provided that two loose rivets are separated by at least ten
tight rivets.
-On scattered -rivet areas:
One loose rivet on a surface area equivalent to that of a 150 mm (5.91 in) radius circle com¬
prising no other loose rivet and centered on the loose rivet.
NOTE: The above tolerances are only applicable when access to the rivets is difficult. Other¬
wise, rivet replacement is mandatory.

INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT SKIN AND FITTINGS

1 - SCOPE

To prevent or to limit further development of damages and to remedy their effects.


This worksheet describes the overall inspection of the aircraft skin and fittings.
Since this operation is frequently scheduled, the ground crew shall limit itself to the checks
possible through the access doors removed at the time of the inspection under consideration.

2- MATERIALS

-Oil Air 1504


- Grease Air 4210

3- INSPECTION

A General procedure

- Check the structure for general condition (cracks, distortion, impact marks).
- Inspect the rivet rows (see 03-0).
- Check for any trace of fuel leakage.
- Check doors and access panels for correct attachment.
- Check general paint condition.
- Check for any trace of corrosion and scratches (for removal, see 03-0).

(1 ) Detection of corrosion traces

of corrosion traces is to be carried out after skin cleaning. Good lighting


In principle, detection
particular, should be inspected with grazing light allowing blisters
is essential and questionable areas, in
to be evidenced. In any case, the presence of blisters will require local removal of all paint in order to
determine the extent of the corroded area.

The defects to .look out for are :


either blistering, separation or disappearance of the protection requiring touch-up of the protec¬
-
tion coat ;
or incipient corrosion :
-
- pitting,
- intergranular corrosion : blisters that show up under grazing light near screw or rivet
countersunk holes or along sheet edges ;
-threadlike corrosion : a thin network extending under the painted surface, from sheet
edge countersinks or from scratch marks ;
- extensive surface corrosion (pitting centered on an extensive and same surface).

Special attention should be given to the inspection of the following equipment or zones which
are most likely to be affected by corrosion :
- air intakes and start of the air intake ducts,
- additional air intake doors.

-
- steel hardware, small parts and hydraulic connections to be subjected to a rapid visual
inspection.
- Nose U/C leg, in particular :
- at the support of the nose wheel steering control unit,
- around the plain bushings fitted to the truss jack drive clevis,
- on the towing bracket,
- in the vicinity of the pipe support clamps,
- on the nose U/C shield door, specially where it is attached to the U/C.
- Cockpit :

-
Modification 579 not incorporated :
- canopy hinge fitting.
- Airbrakes.
- Fuselage underside.
- Wing, flap and aileron lower and upper surfaces.
- Flap nose attachment fittings.
- Wing upper surface, around the main attachment fitting pickup screws (in case of corrosion,
see relevant worksheet - 03-1-609).
- Stabilator lower surface.
- Areas close to the gun blast tubes.
- Gun bay.
- Leading edges (wings - fin - stabilator - air intakes).
- Antenna mounts.

The internal structure boxes of the aircraft shall also be inspected with the utmost care, and
specially :
- areas where foreign matter may accumulate (lower sections in particular),
- floors and zones underneath,
- areas where dissimilar metals are in contact and may generate electrolytic couples,
- components in contact with rubber, neoprene or klegecel seals which absorb humidity and may
create corrosion areas.

(2) Detection of scratches

- Carefully inspect components susceptible to notching (AU4SG). All scratches and points of
impact shall be systematically blended out.
- As a rule, a scratch exists if a burr or dent is felt by passing the fingernail over the skin panel.
Anodized skin panels shall be specially checked. As scratches are the origin for corrosion attack, they
should be treated either immediately or in a more or less short delay according to their extent (see
03-0). Previous scratches which have been already treated shall also be investigated carefully.

B Specially check and inspect :

(1) On fuselage :
-boundary layer bleeds,
- air intakes, air intake ducts (see Structural Repair manual), shock cone fairings and shock cones,
air intake attachment straps; check that shock cone spring ribs have not caused any metal tear on
internal surfaces of air intake ducts,
- additional air intake doors (see 06-3),
- areas close to additional air intakes (specially in the corners),

-gun blast tubes,


-gun bay, link recovery box, case magazine: check the laminated skin panels for condi¬
tion,
-ammunition box structure boxes,
-tail unit servo-control structure boxes; check the thermal protection cork plates for con¬
dition and bonding,
-fuselage underside,
-U/C doors, as well as formed sections on the lower periphery; specially check that the
nose and main U/C door spherical bearings are properly swaged and have no play,
-front rib and main beam of U/C fairing door (check for cracks),
-lower cover sheets 25.04.2i/08.2i of the U/C door unlocking unit structure boxes at
F.25.
-If a crack is detected on the fold of the flange attached to the well wall on engine side,
measure its length and :
-if it is greater than 60 mm (2.36 in), replace the cover sheet (see below),
-if it is equal to or less than 60 mm (2.36 in), stop the crack by drilling a 4 mm
(0.15 in) dia. hole.
Upon the first engine removal or during a minor maintenance inspection, replace any
cracked cover sheet or increase the diameter of the holes to 5.5 mm (0.21 in) if there is no
crack.
Replacement of cover sheet:
-remove the engine,
-remove the adjacent cover sheet (25.04.1 i/25.08.1 i) (the cover sheets are attached to
the structure box with screws and anchor nuts),
-remove the U/C door unlocking unit,
-remove the cracked cover sheet by removing the four attaching screws (the nuts are ac¬
cessible through the box and engine tunnel).
Upon installation of spare cover sheets, make sure that the attaching holes have a diam¬
eter of 5.5 mm (0.21 in).
-airbrakes,
-ventral fins: condition and attachment; specially check the condition of the screws at¬
taching the front and rear fitting flanges, and inspect the ventral fin structure rivets for proper
attachment (see 03-0).

(2) On stabilators:
-stabilator lower and upper surfaces,
-specially check the stabilator honeycomb trailing edges:
-detect the defects by the audio method: LIGHTLY tap the surface of the bonded
components using a steel drift the size of a pencil with a round polished end (or possibly a
coin); the obvious difference in sound when tapping a bonded area and an unbonded area can
be easily heard, and is distinguished by:
-a clear single sound if the assembly is satisfactory,
-a dull and muffled sound if there is a defect.
THIS OPERATION SHALL BE PERFORMED WITH CARE (LIGHT GAUGE
SKIN PANELS) TO AVOID DAMAGING THE COMPONENTS INVOLVED.
-if in doubt, see worksheet dealing with checking of trailing edge structural box
(03-4).

(3) On wings:
-lower and upper surface skin panels:
-inspection of fasteners and fittings,
-inspection of rib 5 riveting, specially at the lower surface; should three or more ad¬
jacent rivets be found to be loose, apply the repair procedure (3-61 1 ) described in the
STRUCTURAL REPAIR manual as soon as the aircraft is grounded, or after 150 flying hours at
the latest,
-lower and upper surface panels of tank structure boxes,
-condition and attachment of nylatron sections on trailing edge, flap top,
-leading edges, specially the fixed slat upper surface skin at slotted slat drive points 1 and

AIRFRAME MEASUREMENTS

1 - SCOPE

The measurements are intended to determine the accidental structural distortions on air¬
craft.

The distortions are determined:

-by comparing the dimensions taken on the wings and tail unit with those admitted for
the incidence, dihedral, and incidence and dihedral asymmetry,
-by checking the relative displacements of the main components with respect to one
another (triangulation).

The measurements permit to know:


-the differences between the present dimensional characteristics of the aircraft and those
recorded upon release from factory,
-the sinking dimensions subsequent to normal use,
-the residual structural distortions subsequent to abnormal operations.

2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A - Ground support equipment

-11 5-200 V/400 Hz power supply


-Hydraulic generation
-Flight control adjustment tool
-Tail unit deflection template
-Quick leveling rule
- 1 sight tube assy
-Airframe distortion check rule
-Tees
- Decameter
-Vertical stabijizer measuring rule RRC7

3 - GENERAL

A - Measurement purpose

Measurements shall be taken:


-on crashed aircraft,
I -on an aircraft the poor flying qualities of which are probably caused by a structural dis¬
tortion,
-on an aircraft on which a major component has been repaired or replaced recently
(wings, tail unit...).

CAUTION:
AFTER REPLACEMENT OF A MAJOR COMPONENT, WING FOR INSTANCE, THE DI¬
MENSIONS SHALL BE RECORDED IN THE AIRCRAFT LOGBOOK AND SHALL REP¬
RESENT THE NEW MANUFACTURING DIMENSIONS FOR THE REPLACED
COMPONENT. SUCH DIMENSIONS SHALL BE REFERRED TO ON FURTHER MEAS¬
UREMENTS.

Out-of-tolerance dimensions involve aircraft inspection by manufacturer specialists who


will determine the value and the category of the distortions and the repairs to be performed
provided the aircraft can be repaired.

B - Definition and identification of measurement points

(1 ) The various measurement points are of three kinds:


-skin datum points,
-triangulation points,
-leveling points.

They are identified as follows:

(_) Skin point

It is represented by a 5 mm (0.197 in) dia circle punched lightly but visibly on the «kin.
A value in tenths of millimeter is marked close to the circle ; this value is the direct read¬
ing correction.
The skin correction permits to take into account the local defects at a given datum point.
The imperfect actual profile differs from a theoretical profile by a few tenths of millimeter.
For easier calcuations, it is assumed that a corrected profile is at 5 mm (0.197 in) from the
theoretical profile. Thus the skin correction shall be e = x + 5 mm (0.197 in), hence the
suppression of the negative signs.

A Triangulation point

Identified by a 1,5 mm (0.059 in) dia and 0,8 mm (0.031 in) deep blind hole, filled
with red paint and'surrounded by a triangle.

Skin and triangulation point

Coinciding skin point and triangulation point.

(^) Leveling point

Identified by a 1,5 mm (0.059 in) dia and 0,8 mm (0.031 in) deep blind hole, filled
with red paint and surrounded by a 5 mm (0.197 in) dia circle.

(2) The Figure 1 5 and the aircraft logbook give the list of the measurement points which are
all identified by a letter.

-Points (A.B.C..) beneath the fuselage bear no index. Points are given index 1 (A1 -
B1...) on A/C LH side (fuselage - wing - tail) and index 2 on A/C RH side.

-Wing points are located on the upper surface and the lower surface; however only the
lower surface points are used for measurements.

B Aircraft configuration
The A/C configuration for measuring purposes is of the utmost importance and must be complied
with so that the values obtained can be compared with one another :
- aircraft jacked up and leveled.
Position the front lifting jacks so that they do not hinder positioning of the rules at points B1
and B2, and of the plumb line at point f D.
clean configuration (without external stores),
- guns in place, ammunitions boxes empty,
- fuel tanks empty,
- ejection seat removed,
- engine and nose cone mounted,
- U/C retracted,
- flight control adjustment tool fitted in the cockpit,
- fix the control stick in the fully aft position with the above tool (hydraulic system under pressu¬
re, electrical power off).
MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE TAKEN UNDER SHELTER, IN A QUIET AREA, AND AT A
MOMENT OF THE DAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO 20°C.
4- PRELIMINARY STEPS
A Instructions for leveling the aircraft
-Jack up the aircraft (see 02-2 ), positioning the rear jack properly : one of the sides of the
triangle formed by the three legs should be perpendicular to the aircraft centerline, and located aft of
the ball joint.
- Provide for a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) between wheels and ground.

For a coarse leveling performed with the quick leveling rule, a slight nose-up attitude is preferred
to a nose-down attitude, as extending a jack is easier than retracting it.

B Setting up the sight tube

(1) Use a sight tube with a true precision at least equal to 0.1 mm at a distance of 10 meters. This
sight tube should be perfectly transparent, precise, accurate and easy to set up.

(2) Location

Locate the sight tube so that :


- focusing is possible on the rule placed at the nearest point to the sight tube,
- there is no obstacle between the sight tube and the rule.

It is preferable to place the sight tube aft of the aircraft in line with the stabilator leading edge and
at 5 or 6 mm (between 0.197 and 0.236 in) from the aircraft centerline.

(3) Height

Make sure that the sight tube height enables reading :


-
- of the aircraft lowest point (measurements taken on the side opposite to the fuselage, with
respect to the sight tube),
- of the aircraft highest point (rule extension pieces).

NOTE 1 : The operator is firmly advised to adjust the sight tube height so that he is seated when taking
the readings. His position for applying his eye against the sight tube eye-piece should not be
wearisome (an uncomfortable position will greatly affect the reading precision).

AB
02-79 Restricted 0-508
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT i
BREGUET AVIATION^
MIRAGE F
Restricted MANUAL 03
NOTE 2 : Once the sight is correctly positioned, perform the following operations in the order, without
altering the sight tube setting :
- leveling the aircraft,
- recording the height of the fuselage datum plane,
- recording the height of the wing points.
- recording the height of the tail unit points.

C Sight horizontality

Leveling the sight tube is a delicate operation of great importance for the measurement accuracy.
It must be carried out in strict compliance with the instructions in the technical handbook of the sight
tube used.

Should the level be of the reversible type, take a double reading.

Do not forget to focus the reticle.

D Selecting and using the measuring rule

(1) Selecting the rule

The RRC5 rule includes :


- an RRC5.10 rule - length : 1,50 m (4.93 ft) - to be used for the fuselage points (pitot tube point
excepted) and the wing points ;
- an RRC5.20 rule, composed of two 0,50 m (1 .64 ft) elements - length : 2 x 0,50 m (2 x 1 .64 ft) -
to be used for the pitot tube point, with the two elements assembled.
- for the fin, use the scale rule.

(2) Using the rule

(a) The rule must be vertical in both planes. To this end, the rule incorporates a spirit level permitting
to place the measuring rod vertically at each point.

The operator performing the readings with the sight tube :


- will have the rule positioned in such a way that the graduations are parallel with the reticle,
- will swing the rule slowly from front to rear and record the smallest dimension (corresponding to
the vertical position of the rule).

(b) For the leveling points, insert the lateral tip of the rule into the center hole.

(c) For the skin points : if a punch mark, a recess or a scratch is found inside the circle, put the

5- FINDING THE HEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT POSITIONING PLANE

A Principles

Leveling shall be performed with the sight tube.


The scope of the operation is to materialize an aircraft plane by means of the leveling points.
The horizontal datum plane is that defined by the sight tube.
The aircraft leveling operation consists in setting the aircraft plane parallel with the sight tube
plane by acting on the jacks to move the aircraft about its two axes of freedom ; these two axes are :
- lateral horizontality,
- longitudinal horizontality.

B Start by setting the aircraft approximately level, using the quick leveling rule. The operator must
sit on a stepladder and not in the cockpit.

C Use the sight tube to set the aircraft in horizontal position, proceeding as follows :

(1) «Swing» the aircraft (from side to side and from back to front) so as to determine a basic hori¬
zontal plane to include fuselage horizontal datum points Bl - B2 and D1 - D2 to within 0.7 mm
(0.028 in).

Also, measure height of points A1 - A2 - C1 - C2 and E1 - E2 to provide an additional check of


the true lateral horizontality.

(2) This «swinging» is a working procedure using the trial and error method. It consists in balancing
the deviations between the leveling points above and below the horizontal plane determined by the
sight tube.

(3) Proceed in the following way, with a single setting-up of the sight tube :

-first adjust the lateral horizontality by acting on the front jacks,


- then, adjust the longitudinal horizontality by acting on the rear jack.

D Recording the height of the leveling points

- The fictitious distance between the aircraft basic plane and the sight tube plane will be :

L i u

D = L 2. (round off the value found to the nearest tenth of millimeter).


- Subtract from dimension D, a given value called «rule constant» which represents the distance
between the horizontal and vertical points of the rule. Height H is then obtained.

- Height H shall be the one and only calculation value retained for the following operations. It
represents the «corrected» distance between sight tube plane and basic plane.

H =D rule constant

Enter this value in figure 16.


Rule constant
The rule constant shall be determined before taking
the wing and stabilator measurements.
It
The theoretical principle governing these calculations
is given in para. «Wing measurements».

F Checking the aircraft horizontality

(1) Lateral horizontality


h! should be equal to h2 to within 0.2 mm (0.008 in).
(2) Longitudinal horizontality
For each leveling point, make sure that height h found previously is equal to D, to within 0.7 mm
(0.028 in).

If these two requirements are not met, repeat all the operations described above.

G Recording the nose cone tip height

This measurement is to be taken in some special cases only (accidental deterioration of the nose
cone - exceptional load factor > 1 0 g).

- Using the rule, measure the height of the nose cone tip with respect to the sight tube plane.
- Calculate, the height deviation between this point and the basic plane, i.e. recorded height H
(basic plane height).
- Compare the measured height deviation with the original height deviation (see aircraft individual
logbook) (tolerance ± 1 mm (0.039 in).

6- WING MEASUREMENTS
A Identifying the wing points
(1 ) Wings mounted on thé fuselage, aircraft horizontal and in the indicated configuration.

(2) On each wing lower surface, eight skin points are located as follows :
- on section 1 , two points VA and VB
- on section 2, two points VC and VD
- on section 3, two points VE and VF
- on section 4, two points VG and VH
Index 1 is reserved for the LH wing points.
Index 2 is reserved for the RH wing points.
NOTE : Points VA - VC - VE - VG are located on the front spar.
Points VB - VD - VF - VH are located on the rear spar.
Points VA - VG and VB - VH are used for dihedral check.
B Principle
(1 ) Recording the height of the wing skin points
The scope of the operation is to determine the height of the considered point with respect to the
aircraft basic plane (dimension A).
The point of the graduated rule is placed on the skin point concerned.
The operator directs the sight tube toward the rule and records dimension (a) of the considered
point.
This dimension «a» is to be increased by the distance between the point and the 0 graduation of
the rule (y).

Moreover, the reading taken with the sight tube gives the height of the point with respect to the
sight tube plane (dimension a + y).
Therefore, the height P between the basic plane and the sight tube plane must be subtracted from
the point height determined with the sight tube (i.e. dimension a + y - P).
I (P = D + x, with D = fictitious distance as found previously)

The height of each skin point must receive the «skin correction», to be subtracted from the
previous result :

A = a+y-P-e = a-e- (P-y) = b- (D + x-y) = b- (D- rule constant) = b- H


with b = a e, rule constant = y x and H = D rule constant.
The above calculation shows that subtracting the rule constants x and y on each point
measurement is avoided by merely subtracting their difference (y x) from the fictitious distance D
once for all.
(2) Principle of wing measurement
(a) Incidence deviation
The wings of an aircraft in service are assumed to be distorted. Their incidence is then different
from the theoretical incidence. Such distortion has an effect on each rib.

Incidence deviation

The theoretical incidence of a rib is determined as follows :


- let A! th be the theoretical height of a rib forward point
- let A2 th be the theoretical height of a rib aft point.
The difference Aj th A2 th represents the theoretical height deviation Eth (in mm) of the rib
considered. This value Eth is to be converted into an incidence expressed in minutes (Eth mn).
- let Aj be the height of the rib forward point.
- let A2 be the height of the rib aft point.

The difference Ai A2 represents the height deviation E (in mm) of the rib considered. This
value E is to be converted into an incidence expressed in minutes (E mn).
For a given rib, the incidence deviation between its actual position and theoretical position is :
A = E mn Eth mn
A is function of E Eth = A! A2 [A{ th A2 th).
Upon aircraft release from factory, the incidence deviation has been measured as indicated above,
and the result has been entered in the aircraft logbook.
The manufacturing and the present incidence deviations should be found equal, to within the
tolerance.
(b) Incidence asymmetry
Compare the incidence deviation of a RH wing rib with that of a LH wing rib. The two deviations
should be found equal, to within the tolerance.
(c) Dihedral
The wings are assumed to be distorted as the aircraft is being used. This distortion is to be
determined, using the basic plane as a reference.

Select two points on each rib (one on the leading edge, about the wing tip, the other on the
trailing edge, near the wing root).
The theoretical dihedral of a wing group is calculated as follows :
- AEth is the theoretical height of the wing root point.
- Ath is the theoretical height of the wing tip point.
Hence Dth = AEth - Ath
Dth is expressed in mm and represents the theoretical height deviation. Once expressed in minutes,
Dth would represent the theoretical dihedral.

The actual wing dihedral is calculated as follows :
- AEr is the actual height of the wing root point.
- Ar is the actual height of the wing tip point.
Hence Dr = AEr - Ar Dr is expressed in mm and represents the actual height deviation.
Once expressed in minutes, Dr would represent the actual dihedral.
Furthermore, it can be admitted that the difference Dr - Dth (in mm) represents the actual
dihedral deviation, i.e. Ar = Dth Dr.
The dihedral deviation Au has been measured on each aircraft upon release from factory.
Comparing the actual dihedral deviation with the manufacturing dihedral deviation permits to check
that the tolerances have not been exceeded :

e = Ar Au

(d) Dihedral asymmetry


The dihedral asymmetry is determined by comparing the distortion of the RH wing with that of the
LH wing.
Once the actual dihedral deviations of the RH and LH wings are obtained, the results are compared
with each other : the difference found should be within the permissible tolerances.

C Procedure

(1) Incidence
(a) Measure the rule constant.
(b) Calculate the distance H (H = D - rule constant) and record it in the table. Figure 1 6.

(2) Computation of height «b» of corrected wing points relative to sight-tube plane (see tables,
Figures 16 and 17).

(a) On each of these sections, using a reversible level and a rule provided with its tip and its spirit level,
the origin of which is roughly located at the center of each datum circle, measure the front point
height, and the aft point height.

NOTE : The height considered for each point is the height directly read on the rule. The «rule
constant» value has been taken into account when determining dimension H.

(b) Enter these values in each upper space of the table of Figure 1 6.

(c) For each point, note in the table intermediate circle the value marked near the reference circle
(skin correction) (this dimension, indicated in tenths of mm, is to be converted into mm). This
dimension is indicated in the aircraft logbook. Check for similarity.

(d) In the table lower space, enter the difference between the higher dimension and the skin
correction dimension.
Enter the values obtained in table of Figure 17, column 1.
(3) Computation of height «A» of corrected wing points relative to basic plane.
(Table in Figure 17).

A = (b-H)
The resulting positive value shall be entered in column 3 of table opposite each point.
(4) Calculation of height deviation «E» between measured point and theoretical point (see table.
Figure 17).
E = «A», measured point height (col. 3) minus «A theo», theoretical point height (col. 4).
Enter the value obtained in column 5.
NOTE : «E» is given the sign «+» if the wing height exceeds the theoretical value («A» > «A theo»),
and the sign « » in the opposite case.
(5) Calculation of the height deviation between front point and rear point

7- MEASURING THE WINGS AFTER A REPLACEMENT

The replacement consists in :


- either installing a new wing
- or installing a wing which has already been used on another aircraft.

A- General

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF A WING, AN INCIDENCE ASYMMETRY


SLIGHTLY OUT OF TOLERANCE MAY BE NOTED, AS NO SETTLEMENT HAS OCCURRED ON
THE NEW WING.

(1 ) In this case, proceed as follows :

(a) Attach the measurement record to the aircraft logbook : this will be the new «manufacturing»
measurement for the replaced wing.

(b) Take a new measurement, after approximately 75 flying hours. For this new measurement, the
incidence asymmetry must mandatorily be within the tolerances.

B Measuring the new wings (see Figure 20)

The operation consists in determining the incidence deviations and the dihedral which will be the
new incidence and «manufacturing» dihedral values to be entered in the aircraft logbook.
To this end, fill in the columns 1 to 8 as done previously, and compare the new results with the
tolerances given in columns 9 and 11. If the incidence deviations and the dihedral are within the
tolerances of columns 9 and 1 1 , enter them in the aircraft logbook.
Any further measurement shall be taken in compliance with the above prescriptions (see

8- STABILATOR MEASUREMENTS
For these measurements, the aircraft position and configuration, as well as the sight tube position,
are identical with those required for measuring the wings.

A Identifying the stabilator points

On the lower surface of each stabilator, six skin points are located as follows :
- on section 1 , 2 points eG and eH
- on section 2, 2 points eJ and eK
- on section 3, 2 points eM and eN.

NOTE : Points eG and eM are used for checking the dihedral.


Points eG - eJ - eM are located on the front spar.
Points eH - eK - eN are located on the rear spar.

B Setting the stabilator to zero position

With hydraulic pressure applied to aircraft and stabilator deflection template positioned, set the
LH stabilator to theoretical zero, then :
- act on the trim until the zero on template faces the mark on fuselage,
- record the height of points eG and eH of section 1 ,
- act on the trim so that the difference between these two heights is equal to the requested value
((- 1 10.1 ) - (1 17.5)) = .+ 7.4 mm (allow for the correction of each of these points) ;
- maintain the setting obtained using the flight control adjustment tool.

C Principle

(1 ) Recording the height of the stabilator skin points


Proceed asfor the wings. Make sure that the rule constant is the same. If required, repeat the
calculation : dimension H = D constant.

(2) Principle of stabilator measurement

(a) Incidence deviation


(b) Incidence asymmetry
(c) Dihedral
(d) Dihedral asymmetry (see «Wing measurements»)

D Procedure

(1) Incidence

(a) Measure the rule constant.


(b) Calculate the distance H (H = D constant) and enter the value obtained in the table, figure 22.

(2) Calculate the height «b» of the stabilator corrected points with respect to the sight tube plane
(tables of figures 22 and 23).

Proceed as for the wings (see para. 6C).

(3) Calculate the height «A» of the stabilator corrected points with respect to the basic plane (table
of figure 23).

A = -(H-b)

The resulting negative value shall be entered in column 2 of the table, opposite each point.

9- MEASURING A STABILATOR AFTER REPLACEMENT

The replacement consists in :


- either installing a new stabilator
or installing a stabilator which has already been used on another aircraft.

A General

INCIDENCE ASYMMETRY MUST MANDATORILY BE WITHIN THE REQUIRED TOLERANCES.

Attach the measurement record to the aircraft logbook : this will be the new «manufacturing»
measurement for the replaced stabilator.

B Measuring a new stabilator (Figure 26)

The operation consists in determining the incidence deviations and the dihedral which will be the
new incidence and «manufacturing» dihedral values to be entered in the aircraft logbook.
To this end, fill in the columns 1 to 8 and column 10 as done previously, and compare the new
results with the tolerances given in columns 9 and 11. If the incidence deviations and the dihedral are
within the tolerances of column 9, enter them in the aircraft logbook.
Any further measurement shall be taken in compliance with the above prescriptions (see
chapter 8).

8- MEASURING THE VERTICAL STABILIZER

The aircraft position and configuration are the same as for the wing measurements.

A Setting the theodolite

(1 ) Materializing the aircraft centerline on the ground (see figure 1 5)

- For each of the points A and D, maintain the upper end of a plumb line in the punch mark so
that the end coincides with the aircraft point.
- Using the other end of the plumb line, mark the projection of points A and D on the ground.
- Materialize the aircraft centerline with a chalked thread joining points A and D and prolonging
the centerline up to a distance of 7 m (22.96 ft) aft of the fuselage.
- Check that the projection of the other points (B and C) coincides with the projected centerline.

(2) Setting the theodolite

- Place the tee (50 cm - 19.68 in) on the ground, at right angles with the projection of the aircraft
centerline, and to the left ; the tee zero should coincide with the projected centerline and the projection
of point A. Place a second tee (50 cm - 19.68 in) on the ground, with its zero coinciding with the
projected centerline and the projection of point D.
- Using the three knurled screws and the spirit level, adjust the horizontality of each tee.
- Place the theodolite aft of the aircraft, at about 5 m (15.404 ft) from the end of the tail cone,
and to the left of the aircraft centerline projection, at a distance of 25 to 45 cm (9.84 to 17.71 in)
from this projection.
- Level the theodolite.
- Adjust the theodolite so that the two rules on the ground indicate the same value ; immobilize
the theodolite in that position.

NOTE : - For the above adjustment, move the theodolite about its vertical axis.
- The value read should exceed 25 cm (9.84 in).
- Record this dimension H between the theodolite plane and the aircraft centerline.

(3) Identifying the points on the vertical stabilizer. '
On the LH side of the fin, six skin points are located as follows :

- on section 1 , 2 points eA and eB


- on section 2, 2 points eC and eD
- on section 3, 2 points eE and eF.

NOTE : Points eA - eE and eB - eF are used for checking the roll setting of the fin.
Points eA - eC - eE are located on the front spar.
Points eB - eD - eF are located on the rear spar.

C Principle

(1 ) Recording the distances of the vertical stabilizer skin points.

The purpose of the operation is to bring the rule at right angles with the optical axis of the
theodolite for each point to be measured, so as to determine the distance from the vertical plane of the
theodolite to the point considered.

Theodolite Theodolite
sighting axis "1 sighting axis

Horizontal plane

Once the tip of the rule is located in the point datum circle, the rule has two axes of freedom : one
vertical, the other horizontal.

The rule is fitted with a spirit level : the vertical displacement can be suppressed once the bubble is
at the center of the rule reference mark.

The only axis of freedom remaining is the horizontal one. As the rule is being displaced along the
horizontal plane, the distance between the parallel lines of the scale in the theodolite sight tube goes
through a maximum value. At that moment, perform the measurement of the considered point. The
operator can also check that the lines of the rule scale are quite parallel with the vertical axis of the
sighting plate.

H is the distance between the vertical plane of the theodolite and the vertical plane of the vertical
stabilizer.

(2) Principle of vertical stabilizer measurement

(a) Yaw setting deviation of vertical stabilizer.


(b) Roll setting deviation of vertical stabilizer.

Proceed as for the wings :


- for the yaw setting of the vertical stabilizer, see the wing incidence ;
- for the roll setting of the vertical stabilizer, see the wing dihedral.

D Procedure

(1) Incidence

On each of the ribs listed above, record the distance of the front and rear points, proceeding as
follows :
- place the rule tip in the center of the datum circle ;
- position the rule so that the scale is tilted by about 45°, with its lower section directed to the
theodolite ;
- bring the level bubble to the center of the rule reference mark ;
- an operator pivots the rule slowly about its tip and along the horizontal plane, without altering
the above three settings ; during this time, a second operator watches the theodolite scale ; when he sees
the lines from «full face», he has the rule immobilized in the corresponding position and reads the
distance «a» ;
- enter this dimension in the table of Figure 10.

(7) Checking the fin roll setting (see table, Figure 29).

(a) Check the difference of distance deviation of points eA-eE and eB-eF, with respect to the
manufacturing distances.

Dimension «E», eA (eB) point distance deviation (col. 5)


minus dimension «E», eE (eF) point distance deviation (col. 5)

Enter the resulting value in column 12.

(b) Calculation of angular deviations in terms of distance deviations.

(1 ) Refer to the chart in Figure 30 ; the values found there should be entered in column 12, opposite
the corresponding space.

(2) In the aircraft logbook (Measurement report), read the manufacturing distance deviations, and
enter these values in the corresponding spaces in column 13.

(3) Calculation of deviation difference

Measured deviation (column 12) minus manufacturing deviation (column 13)

Enter the resulting values in column 14.

Compare these values with the tolerances given in column 15.

11 -MEASURING A VERTICAL STABILIZER AFTER REPLACEMENT


The replacement consists in :
-either installing a new vertical stabilizer,
-or installing a vertical stabilizer which has already been used on another aircraft.

A General

Attach the measurement record to the aircraft logbook : this will be the new «manufacturing»
dimension for the replaced vertical stabilizer.

B Measuring a new vertical stabilizer (Figure 30)

The operation consists in determining the yaw and roll setting deviations which will be the new
«manufacturing» yaw and roll values to be entered in the aircraft logbook.

To this end, fill in the columns 1 to 8 and column 10, as done previously, and compare the new
results with the tolerances given in columns 9 and 1 1 . If these yaw and roll setting deviations are within
the tolerances of columns 9 and 1 1 , enter them in the aircraft logbook.

Any further measurement shall be taken in compliance with the above prescriptions (see
chapter 10).

11 -TRIANGULATION

A General

(1) THIS CHECK IS NOT TO BE MADE SYSTEMATICALLY FOR ALL THE MEASUREMENTS,
BUT ONLY AFTER REPLACEMENT OF LARGE COMPONENTS : WINGS, TAIL UNIT.

(2) Triangulation points are shown in figure 15

- Fuselage : points f A and f D


- Wings : points vH 1 and vH2
- Stabilators : points eM1 and eM2.

(3) It is necessary to plumb the fuselage points fA and fD located on aircraft centerline.

- Then, plumb wing points vH1 and vH2 and stabilator points eM1 and eM2
- Accurately plot dimensions specified in the figure
- For each one, calculate the deviation values between the actual plotted value and the theoretical
value.

B Fuselage/wing triangulation, to be performed only after replacement of a wing (See table,


figure 31)

(1) Accurately plumb points f A, fD, vH and eM


-
In the related column, enter the value of dimension recorded upon aircraft manufacturing (See
-
aircraft logbook)
- In the related column, enter the dimension value recorded after wing replacement.

(2) Compare the dimension measured after wing replacement with the manufacturing dimension and
check that the absolute value of this deviation is lower than the tolerance given.

NOTE : This tolerance takes the reading error into consideration.

C Fuselage/stabilator triangulation to be performed after replacement of one stabilator (See table in


figure 31)

The procedure will be the same as for fuselage/wing triangulation except that only the points fD -
vH and eM shall be plumbed.

INSPECTIONS TO BE PERFORMED ON AN AIRCRAFT


WHICH HAS EXCEEDED THE PERMISSIBLE LOAD FACTOR
(figure 32)

1- SCOPE

To check, after exceeding the load factor, the various parameters enabling to determine whether
the incident has caused damage necessitating aircraft reconditioning.

2- GENERAL

Before these checks, fill in a data sheet concerning the incident. The data to be entered in the
sheet can be : recorded acceleration - A/C weight - possible external stores - airspeed - altitude : general
remarks, special remarks on the circumstances of the incident - particular damage found.

3- LIMIT LOAD FACTOR

This is the value beyond which certain checks of the aircraft must be carried out.

Such load factor limit value should be taken into consideration only after :
- bench testing the aircraft accelerometer,
- processing the crash recorder tape and checking the recorder and its accelerometer in workshop.

NOTE : To avoid misinterpretation as regards the various load factor values given in the Flight Manual
and the Maintenance Manual, it is reminded that the Flight Manual gives the authorized safe
load factor, whereas the Maintenance Manual gives the load factor constituting the limit
beyond which it is necessary to carry out certain checks which are detailed in this section.

-3.7 < nz < 7.2 when M > 0.95

Such load factors are given :


- for symmetrical maneuver envelope
- for aircraft weight = 10,200 kg (22,440 lb) ; if the aircraft weight is above or below this value,
make allowance for the product of aircraft weight and nz :
- A/C weight x nz < 10 x 10,200 when M < 0.85 or 0.85 < M < 0.95 and h > 15,000 ft

- A/C weight x nz < 7.2 x 10,200 when M > 0.95.

(For aircraft weights in pounds, multiply the g number by 22.400)

B Limit load factor for loaded aircraft

Refer to the Flight Manual, which gives the limitations versus the carried loads and the conside¬
red mission. If an aircraft has exceeded the authorized (safe) load factor by over 20 %, in addition to
the procedure specified for clean aircraft according to the load factor reached, it will be necessary to
carry out the inspections and checks specifically applicable to aircraft with external stores (section 4).

4 - INSPECTION

A - Particular structure inspections

(1 ) Especially look for skin crinkling. In suspect areas, inspect the rivets and ensure that the
locking doors can be easily removed.

This inspection especially concerns the following:

(a) Fuselage
-Inspection of rivets.
-Condition of skin between frames 10 and 36.
-Condition of air intake ducts.
-Condition and attachment of ventral fins.
-Tank sealing.
-Check of canopy operation
-Operate the canopy several times to check its positioning with respect to the cen¬
tering parts on the side formers (see 03-2).
-Check of nose cone attaching parts (see 03-2).

(b) Wings
-Check of rivets.
-Condition of skin.
-Condition of mobile components (slats, flaps, ailerons, spoilers).
-Tank sealing.

(2) Inspection of U/C and doors

(a) Operate the U/C doors slowly, and check:


-travel and locking of doors (see 05-2 and 05-4),
-locking pressures (see 05-6).

(b) Operate the U/C slowly:


-check travel and U/C uplocking (see 05-1 and 05-3),
-check for impact traces on roller, hook and door lower skin,
-if the U/C uplocks are dented, remove them for workshop inspection; inspect the fitting
bores and the attaching bolts.

(3) On aircraft fitted with external stores


-In addition to the previous checks, perform the following operations:
-removal of external stores,
-removal, inspection and maintenance of suspension fittings or ejectors.
-Inspection and check of suspension fittings and secondary attachment points.
-Inspection and check of skins, panels and rivets around the various attachment points.
-Inspections, check and maintenance of pylons and stores (see individual documenta¬
tion).

B - Measurement of main wing-to-fuselage attachment fittings


(1 ) Measure the LH and RH lower surface attachment fittings as per the procedure described
hereafter.

(a) Ovalization tolerances for wing bores

A maximum recorded diameter of 80.102 mm (3.1536 in) is acceptable; this value corre¬
sponds to the theoretical dimension allowing for the possible transfer od Dalic deposits from
the fitting to the sleeve (Dalic thickness: 0.010 to 0.012 mm (0.00039 to 0.00047 in).

(b) Ovalization tolerances for fuselage bores

If detected, the greatest distortion should be located at the sections closest to the wing
fitting.

-Maximum diameter recorded, s 80.2 mm (3.1576 in)


-install the connecting pins in compliance with the normal assembly instructions,
-return the aircraft to service if no abnormality is detected during inspection of the
fuselage (para. A) and the check of harmonization, systems and equipment.

Maximum diameter recorded > 80.2 mm (3.1 576 in)


-
-install the lower surface connecting pins in compliance with the special assembly
instructions:
-increase the pin insertion (2.3 _ o5mm (00905 _ Q0197 in^ theoretical) UP to
a maximum value of 3.8 7mm (0.1496 Q 0275 'n)
Q

-measure the LH and RH upper surface attachment fittings,


-perform the wing dihedral geometrical measurements in compliance with the proce¬
dure described under airframe measurements (see 03-0),
-inform the manufacturer of all the results.

(2) Measurement procedure for main wing-to-fuselage attachment fittings

(a) Special tools


-Bore dial gauge positioning tool, ref. 50 MS 082 (wing removed).
-Tool set for measuring wing-to-fuselage bores, ref. 50 MS 118.

(b) Measuring the attachment fittings

Using the dial gauge, take the measurements at distances from the bore edges corre¬
sponding to those indicated in the figure, so that the dimensions can be compared with one
another. The measurement points are given on the dial gauge positioning tool.

This operation must take place in a sheltered area with a temperature of 1 5 to 25 °C.

(c) Position the aircraft in the same configuration as when removing a wing (see 03-1 ).

(d) Position the wing handling jig (see 03-1).

(e) Before removing the pins:


-using a depth gauge, measure the protrusion dimension of each tapered pin and com¬
pare it with that obtained upon installation and entered in the individual aircraft logbook.

(f) Remove the lower pin (see 03-1 : Removal/installation of wing):


-offer up the dial gauge positioning tool through the engine compartment without the
ring.
-install the ring so that:
-the RH mark (D) is visible when measuring the RH wing and the LH mark (G) is
visible when measuring the LH wing,
-the upper mark 2 is visible when measuring the upper bore in direction of pin 2
(lower mark 2 when measuring the lower bore in direction of pin 2), and that mark 8 is visi¬
ble when measuring the lower or upper bore in direction of pin 8.

INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT AFTER ARRESTER


BARRIER ENGAGEMENT

1 - GENERAL

Engagement with an arrester barrier generally results in stripping or distortion of the probes,
antennas and protruding elements. Damage to larger structural parts may also occur, depending on
the speed of the aircraft.

2- PROCEDURE

Make a visual inspection and note any damage to the following parts :
- pitot head boom
- pitot probes, incidence probe, impact temperature probe (see Structural Repair Manual, section 4).

In the absence of visible damage, test the system to which the part belongs.

A Fuselage structure

- Nose cone :
inspect the connections between the nose cone and the fuselage

- Cockpit area :
inspect the windshield transparency, the lateral transparencies and the canopy as well as
-
the frames, cover strips and lateral fairings,
- check that the canopy operates correctly.

- Air intake area :


inspect the boundary layer bleeds and the connections between the air duct and the fuselage
-
(dented, loose or torn parts) (see Structural Repair Manual, section 4),
- inspect the shock cones (distortion, mechanism apparently out of true) but do not test their
functioning unless both LH and RH installations are totally free of damage,
- inspect the skin panels (paint, legends, transfers).

B Wing structure

Leading edges :
-
- inspect the fillets (surface condition, attachment),
- inspect the inboard slats (scratched, dented, distorted parts),
- inspect the outboard slats and, with special care, the step in the leading edge where the two
types of slat meet,
. detained inspection, checking and testing of the slats (see 04-4).

C Undercarriage

- Inspection and checking of the nosegear (see 05-0).


- Inspection of the fairing door.
- Inspection of the sides of the nosegear bay (deformation, condition of connections, mountings).
- Inspection and checking of the main landing gear (see 05-0).

INSPECTION OF LOCK BOLTS

1 - SCOPE

To detect then replace lock bolts whose collars are cracked or missing.

2- LOOKING FOR DEFECTIVE BOLTS

Examine the lock bolts in all the areas mentioned below, after removing as many inspection doors
as convenient for the operations.

- In nose U/C well :


- near the U/C hinge fitting,
- near the front hinge fitting of the U/C doors.

- In airbrake housings :
- on stringer 20.

- In lateral bays, between frames 21 and 22 :


-doors 21 .03 -21.09:
- on air duct ;
-doors 21.04 -21.08:
- on stringer 20/f rame 21 .

- In main U/C wells :


Collar on frame 25, around the U/C uplock box,
-
- around the engine compartment inspection door
(doors 21. 03i/24.09i).

-Through all underfuselage doors allowing check of stringer 20


(RHandLH).
- In pitch servoactuator compartment (doors 36.02/36.10) (on
frame 36).

Any lock bolt whose collar is cracked or missing must be immediately replaced by a plain counter¬
sunk screw, or by a Huck bolt if access is possible from one side only.

NOTE : If isolated bolts are found defective out of inspection, protect them with Ardrox 31.40 and
mark them with a view to their replacement during a further inspection.

ATTENUATION OF SCRATCHES

1 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
- Vacu-Blast Midjet station
- Outside and inside calipers for checking trim profile.
- Portable pneumatic tool for different cutters.
- Small cutters of various shapes for scoring the bottom scratches.
- Various large-radius cutters for final rounding-off of surface blending.
- Final polishing tools and products for repaired surfaces.
- Surface compressing device, Vacu-Blast type.

2- MATERIAL

- Abrasives of different grits for surface conditioning.


- Pure corundum abrasive, 90 MESH.
- Reactive thinner 6940 B.
- Final polishing product for repaired surfaces.

3- GENERAL

Most of the structure (skin panels- spars and frames) is made of AU4G, AU4G1, AU4SG and
A7U4SG. Basic protection of these materials is obtained by chromic anodizing (thin coat of aluminum,
approx. 0.01 mm (0.00039 in) thick, very hard, thus brittle) (BF4 process), or alodine 1200.

-Generally, ail light metals are sensitive to notching, especially AU4SG and A7U4SG alloys.
Scratches are a source for the spread of corrosion. Therefore it is important to eliminate these two
ill effects when cleaning the skin panels. These precautions must be taken either on the flight line,
or during periodic inspections according to the importance of the scratches.

4- PROCEDURE

A Various methods

- The burnisher tool is useful on surface scratches, but it is difficult to reach the bottom of deep
scratches using this procedure.
-The purpose of the Vacu-Blast process is not to remove the scratch (which should not be
removed), but to round off the edges and therefore suppress the ill effects already mentioned.

B Various types of scratches

- Remove paint from the concerned area. Use a magnifying glass if necessary.
- Triangular shape scratches are the most harmful and must be treated mandatorily using the
Vacu-Blast process, with maximum care and urgency (for AU4SG and A7U4SG alloys on the flight
line).
- Trapezoidal scratches are also harmful in as far as they have acute, «turned-in» corners and
in that case, they should be treated as mentioned above.
- Rounded-off scratches are not harmful to strength. They should be treated either on first
inspection (for AU4SG and A7U4SG alloys), or during airframe cleaning (for the other alloys).

C Procedure

(1 ) Using burnisher tool


Deburr scratch, round off external edges and smooth the internal edge so as to suppress sharp
-
dent and obtain a rounded section.

(2) By.Vacu-Blast process


This process must not be used on clad alloys.
- Using the appropriate small cutters, scour to even off the bottom of the scratch.
- Measure the maximum depth of the scratch and the scour ; blend with the surface using large-
radius tools, as per the profile in the figure below.

Mini. R.25 20X

Original thickness
of component

With the skin profile newly reworked, proceed to perfect the surface condition, using abrasive
and final polishing products.

CAUTION
-THE FINAL SURFACE CONDITION MUST SHOW NO SCRATCHES OR PROFILE IRRE¬
GULARITES.
-MECHANICAL REPAIR OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED SO AS TO AVOID AB¬
NORMAL OVERHEATING WHICH COULD MODIFY THE STRUCTURAL CHARAC¬
TERISTICS OF THE REPAIRED COMPONENTS.

- It is recommended that a Vacu-Blast type compressing treatment be applied to the repaired


areas.
The Vacu-Blast shall bè fitted with a special gun allowing a localized treatment to be performed
and the immediate recovery of abrasive.
Load the Vacu-Blast with corundum of 90 mesh.
The Vacu-Blast shall be preferably used on removed parts or in areas at a distance from
transparent parts and cylinders.
Hermetically protect all areas near the area to be repaired.
- Widely degrease area around the scratch. On integral tanks (wings and fuselage), do not use
trichloroethylene which may damage sealants used for sealing purpose.
- Slowly pass Vacu-Blast gun nozzle over scratch to be treated at constant speed of 1 to 2 cm/sec.

After each pass, using magnifying glass, inspect the scratch visually and stop the operation as soon
as any sharp edge or dull background has disappeared (as soon as the desired appearance is obtained on
a scratch section, avoid passing over again).

(3) Final check of trim : '

When the trim has been finished, measure its final maximum depth and compare it with the table
of minor damages in the Structural Repair Manual. If the remaining thickness is insufficient, local
reinforcement of the component may be necessary.

(4) Finishing

Immediately after the operation :


-
- using dry brush, eliminate any trace of corundum.
- degrease around the area treated by Vacu-Blast, then pickle this surface using reactive
thinner (or FOSCRAL), degrease again, to allow adherence of protective product.
- apply original protective product (see STRUCTURAL REPAIR manual).

REPAIR OF HEAT INSULATION

1 - SCOPE

To allow local repair of heat insulation:


-in cockpit,
-in nose cone,
-in structure box between fuselage frames 1 and 3,
-in equipment bay,
-in tail unit servo-control structure boxes.
2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A - Spares
-Polyurethane foam 113/2, 10 mm and 5 mm thick, Nylar-protected (Jehier 113 compo¬
site).
-Cork agglomerate board FL 65 EP4.
3 - MATERIALS
-Abrasion prevention black rubber adhesive tape 101/250
-Adhesive Bostik 1410 SC
-Approved chlorinated solvent
- Methylethylketone
-Primer P50
-Adhesive EC 1675 B
4 - HEAT INSULATION IN COCKPIT, NOSE CONE, FUSELAGE STRUCTURE BOXES,
EQUIPMENT BAY

A - Repair of polyurethane
-Cleanly remove the old adhesive tape and the polyurethane to be repaired.
-Make clean cuts.
-Clean and carefully degrease the bared areas with methylethylketone. Allow to dry.
-Apply a coat of P50 primer on the sheet metal.
B - Installation of polyurethane
-Cut out and adjust the polyurethane sheet to be installed. If necessary, drill the holes for
pipes or attaching parts.
-Smear the faying surface and the sheet metal with Bostik 1410 SC adhesive.
-When the adhesive has become tacky, bond the polyurethane without crushing it.
C - Finishing
-On all polyurethane cuts and junctions, apply a strip of black adhesive tape 101/250.
-While applying the adhesive tape, take care that the polyurethane is not compressed or
flattened. On the one hand, this would reduce heat insulation efficiency due to reduced thick¬
ness ; on the other, it would impair proper bonding of the adhesive tape by including strains.

5 - HEAT INSULATION IN TAIL UNIT SERVO-CONTROL STRUCTURE BOX


A - Preliminary steps
-Carefully remove the cork board to be renewed.
-Carefully clean and degrease the surface of the bared sheet metal and corresponding
cork board ; use methylethylketone to dissolve the old adhesive.
-Before the solvent is evaporated, wipe with a clean cloth.
B - Installation of cork board
-Using a spatula, coat the cork board and the sheet metal with adhesive.
-Allow the adhesive to dry until it is no longer tacky.
-Position the cork board and press it against the sheet metal.

7 - INSTALLATION OF BALL JOINT

A - Preliminary steps

-Record the width of the circular swaging grooves (dimensions Lo, see page 813).
-To facilitate fitting of the ball joint, slightly break the external edge of the outer ring on
the side to be inserted into the support.
-Lightly coat the bore with Mastinox.

B - Force fitting

-SYSTEMATICALLY FIT GUIDE CHUCK 1 WITH A PROTECTIVE THIMBLE FOR EACH


INSERTION OR EXTRACTION OF THE CHUCK IN THE BALL JOINT BORE (SPECIALLY IF
THE BALL JOINT IS COATED WITH AIRFLON).
-Assembly is always carried out with a "slightly tight fit".
- Fit chuck 1 with centering ring 2, then insert the assembly into the bore of the support,
on the side opposite to the reference face, until the centering is in place.
-CAREFULLY fit the ball joint on the chuck and position it correctly opposite the support
bore (place the outer ring with the broken edge on the support side and set all parts perfectly
in line).
-Remove the protective thimble and install thrust ring 3, washer 4 and nut 5.
-Force fit the ball joint by tightening nut 5 until the ball joint comes into contact with

trolley pump assembly is located on wing tip side.
Retract the sperical pads.

B Offering up the handling assembly

- Offer up the trolley assembly under the wing group as follows :


- trolley parallel with the A/C centerline,
- the two centering spherical pads directly beneath the two hooking fittings of internal and
external stations S1 and S2.
- Bring the two spherical pads a few centimeters under the fittings and stop hoisting.
Install the trolley safeties (brakes blocks mechanical safety devices).
- Lift up the engine installation trolley until the centering spherical pads of the upper positioning
rig are engaged into the hooking fittings (adjust the engine trolley or displace the intermediate posi¬
tioning rig).
-Bring the three spherical pads 1-2-3 in contact with the wing group. Never tighten them
excessively to avoid stressing the attachment fittings.

(2) Main attachment fittings at frame 25


- For each of the two pins:
(a) Remove the castellated nut (socket M60 + adapter K232 + ratchet + extension). If, ex¬
ceptionally, too high a force is required for unlocking the nut, use the hydraulic tool in "pin in¬
stallation" configuration to avoid longitudinal counter effect. The nut is then easily unscrewed.
(b) Remove the screw interconnecting the lockwasher and the sleeve.
(c) Remove the lockwasher (wrench M31. 029).
(d) Remove the taper pin and the sleeve.
-two methods may be used: the method called "pin removal from the rear (aircraft direc¬
tion)" which is the current and normal removing method, and the method called "pin removal
from the front (aircraft direction)" which is the exceptional method used when the other
procedure is inefficient.

NENTS AND EQUIPMENT INSTALLED ON AIRCRAFT".

5 - INSTALLATION OF WING (figure 13)

A - Preparation of connecting pins

(1 ) Carefully clean the component parts of each pin with aliphatic naphtha, grade F.

CAUTION:
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAIN PINS, MADE OF TITANIUM, BE
CLEANED WITH CHLORINATED SOLVENTS.

(2) Wipe them with a clean lint-free cloth.


(3) Carefully check the condition of parts: surface condition of sleeve and main pin.
(4) Should a component of the main pin need replacement, or should spare wings be in¬
stalled, or should the Dalic coating be removed from the fitting bore, see the method for deter¬
mining the insertion of attachment pins (03-3).
(5) Apply a thin film of Codex petrolatum on the taper pin.
(6) Apply grease AIR 421 0 to the contact surfaces of the washer and nut.

(8) Apply protective treatment to the taper pin:


-slightly tighten the nut so as to open the slot of the sleeve,
-blank its ends with adhesive paper,
-pack the ends of the slot with Mastinox C627B as follows:
-on flange side, over 10 mm (0.39 in),
-on opposite side 5 mm (0.19 in),
-after curing for four or five hours, Mastinox C627B will form two plugs with some flexi¬
bility; using a spatula, refill the rest of the slot with Mastinox 6856H,
-loosen the nut of the taper pin without removing it,
-slide the sleeve on the taper pin so that the clearance of the slote is taken up and so that
the sleeve can be inserted easily into the bores.

(Take the necessary measures so as not to damage the Mastinox plugs).

While awaiting their installation take the necessary measures so as to avoid contaminating
the pins thus prepared.

B - Installation of wing

(1 ) Bring the trolley near the fuselage so that the wing fitting is level with the main frame
(F.25) and as close to it as possible.

(2) Secure the trolley by lowering the support pads.

(3) Bring the wing fittings level with the fuselage fittings:

-adjust the trolley as required to set the wing incidence and dihedral according to the fu¬
selage,
-position the trolley mechanical safeties.

Using a brush, apply some diluted Mastinox (1 part by volume of Mastinox 6856H and 3
parts by volume of thinner 3924) to each face of the main fitting (wing and fuselage).

(4) Insert the wing fitting into the fuselage fitting by a few centimeters and check for correct
relative position.
On the wing, arrange the ball joints of the secondary fittings so that they do not become
stuck during assembly.

(5) Slowly engage the wing main fitting until its bores are in line with the fuselage fitting
bores.
This operation shall be carried out by adjusting the various settings of the trolley so that
the fitting does not bear on the internal faces of fitting at frame 25.
Make sure that nothing catches during this operation.

(6) At the end of fitting engagement, feel the "step" between fuselage and wing upper and
lower bores with the finger. Guide the manoeuver in order to overcome this step, which will
mean the bores are properly aligned.

(7) Check that the sleeve can be easily inserted without its taper pin.

(1 ) Main attachment on frame 25

i (a) Installation of pins


-Using a brush, apply some diluted Mastinox (1 part by volume of Mastinox 6856H and
3 parts by volume of thinner 3924) to the bores.
-Through the engine compartment, bring the connecting pins to position in related bores,
proceeding as follows:
-install the assembly (taper pin, sleeve, washer, nut) in the fuselage bore, taking care
to direct the pins properly,
-clean out Mastinox burrs,
-the sleeve slot shall be directed as per line ab (upper sleeve slot downward, lower
sleeve slot upward). Such direction is defined by the two sleeve spigots which shall be posi¬
tioned on eitherside of one of the three notches on frame 25. Only one position is possible.

CAUTION:
FULLY ENGAGE THE SLEEVE SO THAT THE FLANGE RESTS AGAINST THE FRAME.

-Install the lockwasher (wrench M 31029) and secure it to the sleeve with the 5 dia.
screw.

When installing back components (wing, pins) that have been removed, proceed as indi¬
cated below.
When installing new components, see the method for determining insertion of main
wing-to-fuselage attachment pins (see 03-3).
For each sleeve/pin assembly, the insertion value must be similar to that recorded in the
aircraft individual logbook.
The value for measurement after tightenirig with the hydraulic tool is dimension C (pro¬
trusion of pin threaded part in relation to nut), resulting from the insertion value. Dimension C
must correspond with that entered in the aircraft individual logbook.

A tolerance of _ 0P- mm ( _ n'n-tq in) is required to install the safety pin.

-Screw the nut by hand until it abuts onto the washer.


-Proceed in the same manner for the other main attachment pin, after correcting any pos¬
sible misalignment.
-Measure protrusion dimension D for each pin to determine the insertion value C - D to
be obtained with the hydraulic tool.

(b) Installation of tightening tool


-Install hydraulic tool MS 1312 (first on the upper pin then, after tightening, on the
lower pin).
-Check that the hydraulic tool rod is in "extended" position.
-Cap the taper pin nut with positioning spacer 2.
-Fully screw hydraulic actuator 1 onto the taper pin while checking for correct centering
of the spacer on the actuator.
-Through the spacer aperture, locate the position of the spacer nut holes with the incor¬
porated spindle.

CAUTION:
THE TORQUE APPLIED FOR TIGHTENING THE ACTUATOR CONTROL SCREW SHALL
NOT EXCEED 11 m.daN (81 ft.lb).

(c) Tightening of pins


-Act on the tool to obtain the required insertion value minus 1 mm (0.039 in), then re¬
move the hydraulic tool and install it on the lower pin.
-Act on the tool to obtain the required insertion value minus 0.5 mm (0.019 in) for the
lower pin.

-Remove the tool.


- Estimate the nut rotation required to align one of the nut safety holes with the pin safety
hole:
-the safety holes will be aligned either using the hydraulic tool or directly using a
torque wrench,
-safety holes will be aligned only by tightening the nut (never by untightening it).

NOTE: If the hydraulic tool is not used, the tightening torque applied to the nut shall range
between 20 and 60 m.daN (148 and 442 ft.lb).

-Complete insertion of the upper pin, proceeding as indicated above (estimation of nut
tightening, alignment of safety holes).
-After tightening the two pins, record the insertion value actually obtained by measuring
dimension C. Check that they are within tolerances.
-Lock the nuts.
-Enter the dimension C obtained in the aircraft individual logbook.

If the required value cannot be obtained for the given torque limits (determined to pre¬
vent important errors), proceed as follows:
-remove the pins again,
-specially check the components in contact for surface sondition,
-check the correct positioning of the wing, making sure that the sleeve is easily fitted by
hand,
-determine again the insertion value,
-grease and assemble again.

NOTE: These operations may be carried out several times until the required value is obtained.

(2) Front and rear auxiliary attachments

-Grease the pins, bores and spherical bearings of the front and rear fasteners (grease AIR
4222 or 4210).
-Use a thimble for pin installation (SMS 219).
- Pin fitting: pin to frame 22, from front to rear; pin to frame 28, from rear to front. Direct
the grease nipples: upward at frame 22, downward at frame 28.
-Fit the washers and nuts.
-Brings the nuts into contact and tighten up to the first pinning hole (1/12 turn max) (30
A/F ring wrench-30 A/F wrench).
-Then fit cotter pins.

-Retract the slat by manually rotating the drive shaft by means of the crank handle. Dur¬
ing this operation, check for absence of abnormal resistance. Otherwise, determine the cause.
-Bring the slat to the 0° position (value of 104 ± 0.5 mm (4.094 ± 0.02 in) at track
R1).
-Check for 104 ± 0.5 mm (4.094 ± 0.02 in) at track R4 and adjust if necessary.
-Check the clearance at jack AT1 (see manual 04-4: installation of slotted slat jacks).
-Fully retract the slat, then check that the slat is in abutment at drive jack AT1 (jack
stop); the dimension between zeroing marks on track R1 should be 102 mm (4.016 in).
- Perform the same check at track R4 and ensure (by rotating the drive shaft a few times)
that no resistance is felt as the AT1 jack stop is approached.

Attach the blanking plates of the outer jack:


-position blanking plate 1 so as to give even clearance at the surrounds,
-make a hole in the blanking plate and the slat,
-adjust the blanking plate so as to give a minimum clearance of 4 mm (0.157 in) at the
rear edge when the slat is at the zero position (104 mm dimension (4.094 in) at the zeroing
marks of tracks 1 and 4),
-cement (with araldite) and screw the blanking plate onto the slat.

NOTE: If there is doubt about the position of the slat during the operations described above,
pin it (in the zero position):
- separate the slat from the jacks by moving the slat to the position which permits this
and remove it.
The slat is pinned through a hole in the rear roller holder fitting on tracks R1 and R4
(see figure). This requires, for each of these tracks, the removal of a roller and its
holder.
- track 1 : removal of roller, grease nipple and inner roller holder on wing tip side
- track 4: removal of roller, grease nipple plus its adapter, and inner roller holder on fu¬
selage side.

-Put the slat back into place on the leading edge.


-Move the slat to pin it.
-Then ensure that any difference in the alignment of the bores of the slat fitting and jack
clevises does not exceed 0.5 mm (0.019 in).
-Remove the slat.
- Remove the, pinning tools and reinstall the roller holders.
-Reinstall the slat and finish fitting the slat-to-jack connecting pins (see para. 5-A).
-Reconnect the drive shaft and check slat adjustment (see 04-4).

6 - FINAL STEPS

-Lubricate the slat hinges.


-Check deflection and operation and, if necessary, adjust the slat microswitch (see 04-4).

1 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A - Special tools
-Flight control 1st line tool kit.
-Ring and plug gauge kit 50MS1304.
-Additional ring and plug gauge kit 50MS212.
B - Standard tools
-Torque wrench kit 0 to 3 m.daN (0 to 20 ft.lb).
-Torque wrench accessory kit, 0 to 3 m.daN (0 to 20 ft.lb).
-INDIA stone.
2 - MATERIALS
-Grease AIR 4222 or 4210.
-White Spirit.
-Crocus cloth.

3 - SPARES

-Aileron repair-size sulfinuzed bush F11814823N1.


-Rudder repair-size sulfinuzed bush F31102813N1.

4 - GENERAL

The method for pre-setting and installing taper pins applies for the main hinge of aileron
and rudder. Method described below covers only rudder hinge and should be adapted for the
aileron.

Main difference existing between attachments of these hinges is that:


-aileron hinging is directly made on a fixed bearing (integral with wing),
-rudder hinging is made through a removable shackle.

Therefore, all operations described with shackle should be carried-out for the aileron by
positioning it on wing unit.

5 - INSPECTING THE VARIOUS HINGE PARTS


A - Pin equipped

(1 ) Sulfinuzed bush
-Check part for perfect surface condition and, if necessary, remove any trace of dent or
burr, by a slight polishing with India stone.
-Check for presence of chamfers on internal diameter and for absence of sharp edges on
outer diameter (and if applicable, polish with India stone, then, with crocus cloth).

(2) Sleeve
-Check sleeve for condition as above.
-Check for presence of chamfers and absence of sharp edge (specially in slot).

(3) Taper pin, washer and nut


-Similar checks as in paragraph (1 ).

(2) Rudder shackle


-Check bores and internal and external faces for surface condition, and for presence of
chamfers.

D - Cleaning
-Carefully clean the various hinge parts using White Spirit and dry them.

6 - POSITIONING THE PARTS ON AIRCRAFT HINGED BRACKET

A - Slightly grease:
-sleeve,
-shackle bore.

B - Fit sleeve in its bore ; then using a 4/1 00th mm (0.0015 in) thick shim gauge, check
that flange perfectly bears on shackle side face. If this bearing is defective, deburr:
-either bore chamfer,
-or recess intended to lock sleeve against rotation.
C - Position recessed washer on sleeve and check it does not bear on shackle side face.

D - Slightly grease sulfinuzed bush:


-check it fits easily on sleeve,
-then, install it in control surface drive fitting.

E - Proceed with positioning of drive fitting still equipped with its sulfinuzed bush and install
sleeve, pin, recessed washer and tighten nut to a torque comprised between 0.5 and 1 m.daN
(3.7 and 7.3 ft.lb). Check, then, that shackle can move freely and has a lateral clearance felt
by hand. Min. 0.04 mm (0.0015 in).

7 - PRE-SETTING

A Check of bronze bush bore


-Use the set of plus gauge numbered 1 to 9 contained in the case. The bush bore must
be perfectly clean and grease-free. The plug gauges must be wiped with a clean cloth.
-Insert plug gauge No. 1 into the bore ; it should enter the bronze bush over its whole
length.
-Then insert plug gauge No. 2 and so on until a gauge not entering the whole length of
the bush is found.

-For presetting, then use the ring gauge bearing the same number as the last fully en¬
gaged plug gauge.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
IF PLUG GAUGE No. 6 ENTERS OVER THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE BRONZE BUSH,
SUCCESSIVELY INSERT THE PLUG GAUGES BEARING HIGHER NUMBERS AS DE¬
SCRIBED BELOW.

-Insertion of plug gauge No. 7; four cases may occur:


-the cylindrical side does not enter over the whole length of the bronze bush and
the flat side does not enter by more than 5 mm (0.19 in). Then reinstall the original sulfi¬
nuzed bush and use ring gauge No. 6 for presetting,
-the cylindrical side does not enter over thé whole length and the flat side enters
over more than 5 mm (0.19 in).
The elongation is then greater than 0.020 mm (0.0008 in): reinstallation of the
control surface is prohibited, send it to the next higher repair line,
-the cylindrical side enters over the whole length of the bronze bush and the flat
side does not enter over more than 5 mm (0.19 in). Insert plug gauge No. 8 (see hereafter),
-the cylindrical side enters over the whole length and the flat side enters over more
than 5 mm (0.19 in).
Accurately measure the actual elongation of the bore using a SUBITO type tow-
point hole gauge.
-If the elongation is greater than 0.020 mm (0.0008 in), reinstallation of the
control surface is prohibited, send it to the next higher repair line.
-If the elongation is less than 0.020 mm (0.0008 in), insert plug gauge No. 8.

-Insertion of plug gauges No. 8 and on:


-plug gauge No. 8 does not enter over the whole length of the bronze bush: then
install the repair-size sulfinuzed bush and use ring gauge No. 7 for presetting,
-plug gauge No. 8 enters over the whole length of the bronze bush: insert plug
gauge No. 9,
-plug gauge No. 9 does not enter over the whole length of the bronze bush: then
install the repair-size sulfinuzed bush and use ring gauge No. 8 for presetting,

C - Determination of presetting
IMPORTANT NOTE:
riGHTENING IS CRITICAL. THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED.
(1 ) Tighten the nut until the ring gauge can no longer be moved (without marking this posi¬
tion).
(2) Unscrew the nut and, using the extractor, pull the taper pin out.
(3) Repeat the two operations above (1 and 2).
(4) Slowly tighten the nut until the sulfinuzed bush reaches the ring gauge diameter (when
the ring gauge, which at start was freely rotating, begins to tighten).
(5) Then note the protrusion of the taper pin with respect to the sleeve. If the hinge compo¬
nents are new, mark the position of the nut in relation to the pin by two light bu visible punch

(1 ) Disassemble the assembly and then fit back the following in the shackle:
-the sulfinuzed bush,
-the sleeve,
-the taper pin,
-the recessed washer,
-the nut.
(2) Progressively tighten the nut and note its position when^the sleeve can no longer be
moved sideways by hand and when the sulfinuzed bush is secured on the sleeve (it can no
longer be rotated by hand).
(3) Both positions shall correspond to a nut tightening lower by at least 1/2 turn than that
corresponding to the markings made in paragraph C (5).
-Should this condition not be met, repeat the operations described in paragraph C.
9 - FINAL INSTALLATION
A - Disassemble the assembly and lubricate:
-the external section of the sulfinuzed bush,
-the internal section of the drive fitting bronze bush.
B - Reinstall the assembly on the rudder and tighten the nut until the position marked in par¬
agraph C (5) is reached, then fit a split pin.
REMARKS: When reassembling with a previously drilled taper pin, slightly tighten beyond the
mark to reach the split pin hole if the holes fail to match.

Definition of rivet defects

(1) Damaged rivets

Rivets showing the following symptoms should be replaced as soon as acceptance limits are
exceeded :
- broken or cracked rivet head
- rivet head separated from the countersink allowing a 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) shim to be inserted
between rivet head and countersink without any stress onto sheet ;
- insufficient tightening tested as follows :
- put a finger half on rivet head, half on skin
- have another operator push hard and release the surrounding skin several times, using
a non-metallic tool handle,
-tightening is considered as insufficient if a relative movement of the skin with respect
to the rivet is clearly felt by finger.

(2) Suspect rivets

Rivets showing the following symptoms should be submitted to a careful check concerning tigh¬
tening :

- head inserted into the countersink,


- raised head edges («concaved» head)
- black mark around the rim of the countersink in the direction of the aerodynamic flow (comet

-slightly withdraw the connector assembly and allow to hang down,
-thoroughly clean the wing lower surface -panel at each point (see figures 20
and 21 ), specially the bore and spotfacing. Make sure that these areas are clean and free from
flaking paint, blisters, corrosion, grease, etc.

6 - PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT NOTE: The personnel performing these inspections must hold qualifications cor¬
responding to the method used at least equal to level II of the CO-
FREND (aerospace committee) certification or AS NT (American
certification).

(1 ) Visual crack inspection

Perform a visual inspection for apparent cracks on the wing lower surface panel at points
1 and 5 (see figure 20), specially at the bores and spotfacings (see detail in figure 28).

(2) Eddy current crack inspection (see figure 21 ).

(a) Prepare and calibrate the instrument as described in the associated technical handbook:
-connect the special probe and select the 2 MHz frequency,
-select the "METAL" position according to the metal to be inspected (aluminum alloy
wing lower surface panel),
-make sure that the battery is sufficiently charged.

-calibrate the instrument with the "test" block (reference standard).


Correctly apply the probe to the sound area of the standard after performing the balanc¬
ing procedure as described in the technical handbook; the galvanometer should indicate
"zero". Then place the probe on the known defect, with the sensitivity adjusted to provide a
valid reading (80% for instance).

(b) Check each point as described hereafter (see figure 21 for check principle).

NOTE: Use the guide bush corresponding to the point to be checked (1 and 5, figure 20).

CHECK A
-Engage the special probe in the bore of the guide support intended for CHECK A, ensur¬
ing that it is correctly directed.
Adjust distance (d) between support shoulder and probe at a bore position. Secure the
probe in the support with the appropriate screw.
- Place the probe/support assembly in the skin panel bore.
-Check that the galvanometer reads zero; adjust if necessary.
-Check the bore through 360°, maintaining perfect contact between the support and skin
panel spotfacing throughout the operation.

NOTE: - The detection of the crack causes a sudden and distinct deflection of the galvanome¬
ter needle.
- The galvanometer needle deflection is at the maximum value when the probe is di¬
rectly above the center of the crack. The severity of the crack is indicated by the ampli¬
tude of the deflection.
- If a doubt arises during the operation, repeat the check of the doubtful area several
times.
- High amplitude deflections of too long duration cause the zero to be slowly changed
(2% after a total deflection having lasted approximately 15 seconds).
- Withdraw the support/probe assembly from the skin panel bore.
- Disconnect the special probe.

CHECK B

-Connect the standard pencil probe.


-Calibrate the. instrument as described in paragraph (a).
-Engage the probe in the bore of the guide support intended for CHECK B, making sure
that the probe ferrite is slightly out-of-flush with the support shoulder.
Secure the probe in the support with the appropriate screw.

that the probe contacts the spotfacing .
-Check that the galvanometer reads zero; adjust if necessary.
-Perform the check in the same manner as CHECK B.
IMPORTANT NOTE : For point 1 (pressurization selfseaiing valve), as the four self-sealing
valve support attaching screws are still in place, perform this check on
either side of each screw head.

-Withdraw the support/probe assembly from the skin panel bore.


- Remove the probe from the support.

CHECK D (Only applicable to point 1 (pressurization self -sealing valve))

-Engage the probe in the bore of the guide support intended for CHECK D, marking sure
that the probe ferrite is slightly out-of-flush with the support shoulder. Secure the probe in the
support with the appropriate screw.
-Place the probe/support assembly in the skin panel bore, then maintain it in abutment so
that the probe contacts the spotfacing.
-Check that the galvanometer reads zero; adjust if necessary.

4 - PRELIMINARY STEPS

-Remove wing fillets 20.09 and 20.03.

5 - PROCEDURE

A - Looking for protection defects.

If the fitting is already protected with Ardrox, remove this protection with white spirit.

Inspect the visible lower part of the fitting and the rear and front surfaces of the lower
base plate, and specially the rear lower section and the edge located between the lower sur¬
face and the rear surface of the base plate (see figure).

- Make sure that the paint is sound by carefully inspecting under direct and side lighting in order to
detect any possible swells in the paintwork.

- Scrape the suspect areas using a plastic scraper (for example a beveled piece of plexiglas.

- If the paint flakes off, use the plastic scraper to remove as many flakes as possible ; stop when the
remaining paint is sure to adhere to the metal.

B Looking for corrosion

- Check the stripped metal for any trace of corrosion.

The most serious form of corrosion consists of pits located :


- on the rear lower surface of the fitting,
- on the rear vertical surface of the base plate,
- and especially on the rounded edge between these two surfaces.

In case of corrosion (rust, pitting), proceed as indicated hereafter (paragraph D).

C Looking for scratches

In the event of paint removal, make sure that there are no scratches, especially within the area
located around the rear edge of the fitting and within 4 to 5 cm (1 .50 to 2 in) of the frame.

D Elimination of corrosion or scratches

- Clean carefully using a lintless cloth soaked in MEK or Diestone S.

- Abrade the damaged area (cloth grit 280 or 240).


If this is not sufficient, use a flexible sanding wheel (grit 240) mounted on an air drill.
- As soon as corrosion or scratches seem to be suppressed, polish the treated area using fine
abrasive papers (up to grit 600).

- Perfectly clean the polished surface with a lintless cloth soaked in MEK or Diestone S.

- Using a magnifying glass (x 4 to 6) and under good lighting, carefully inspect the surface : no
defect should be left.

-This shall be confirmed by a dye penetrant inspection using Ardrox 985 P3 (see Structural
Repair manual).

If the corrosion is likely to have reached the area where the fitting and the frame are assembled,
remove the wing.

E Anti-corrosion protection

(1) If no corrosion has been found, and even if the paint seems to adhere perfectly to the metal,
protect the fitting with Ardrox 31.40.

NOTE : Ardrox 31.40 should never be applied at a temperature lower than 4- 5°C. Drying time :
- tack-free time : 2 to 3 hours,
- complete drying : 24 hours.

(2) Operations after corrosion treatment

If the treated surfaces have a small area :


- protect these surfaces, as well as the whole visible surface of the fittting, using Ardrox 31 .40.

If the treated surface has a large area and if the wing has been removed, repaint the fitting as
follows :

- degrease the treated area with MEK or Diestone S,


- etch with reagent thinner 6940B,
- clean again with MEK or Diestone S,
- apply the Celomer paint system :
- 1 wash primer coat : P99
- 1 anti-corrosion primer coat : PAC33
- 1 primer coat : 6840B
- 1 zinc chromate primer coat : 4888
- 1 finishing coat : 4080

After complete curing of the paint (10 days at 20°C) :


- apply a coat of Ardrox 31 .40 to the whole treated area.

6- FINAL STEPS

- Reinstall wing fillets 20.09 and 30.03.

NOTE : In any case, the manufacturer should be informed of the presence of corrosion pits or of
scratches difficult to polish due to their depth (detected by penetrant inspection if necessary) ;
as far as possible, a photograph is desirable.

4- REMOVAL

CAUTION :
THE INTERNAL FACE OF THE WINDOW IS VERY FRAGILE AND SHOULD NEVER BE
TOUCHED ; EVEN THE FINGER CONTACT IS PROSCRIBED.

A Actuate the lock to cause the laser range finder fairing to pivot about its gooseneck fittings. The
cable keeps the fairing ajar.

B Disconnect laser glass heating connector 39H, level with frame V of the aircraft structure.
C Unlock the spindle, level with the fitting at frame Vc, while holding the fairing to avoid any
untimely action. Recover the pin, washer and split pin.
D Rotate the fairing downward, while pulling lightly to the rear, parallel with the aircraft centerline,
in order to extract the gosenecks at frame IV.

E Place the fairing under shelter to avoid any impact liable to damage the laser glass pane.

5- INSTALLATION
A Preliminary steps
(1) Sealing
- Make sure that the seal is fitted correctly (continuity, no tear, proper bonding).
If the seal is damaged, replace it as follows :
- put a compress inside the fairing, in front of the laser glass pane to protect it, and cover the
thermal insulations with clean and lintless white rags ;
- remove the old seal completely by scraping with a wooden or plexiglas tool so as not to
scratch the seal support sheet ;
- recover all the seal pieces and glue debris ;
- clean the surface using a clean and lintless white rag lightly soaked with methylethylketone ;
-spread a coat of primer on the surface thus prepared, then allow to dry for about
30 minutes ;

- coat the faces to be bonded with a thin film of sealing and bonding compound ;
- allow to dry for a few minutes, checking the adherence with a finger ;
- remove the protective covers, compresses and rags.
- Check that the thermal insulations are intact and properly bonded (see 03-0).

(2) Mechanical junctions


- Clean the gooseneck fittings and the lock, and check their surface condition.
Spread a light coat of grease on the lockbolt.
Check the cable and the tin solder tacks for condition.

(3) Laser glass pane


If contaminated, clean the glass faces using a compress lightly soaked with a very pure solvent
-
(acetone). The solvent should leave not trace when drying. While cleaning, be careful not to damage the
plastic components of the window (seals, electrical wires).

(4) Compartments
- Make sure that the dull black paint of the compartments is not scratched.

B Installation

- Position then engage the goosenecks fully home in the fasteners at frame IV. Hold the fairing.
- Using the spindle, attach the cable to the fitting at frame Vc, then fit the washer and the split
pin.
Connect connector 39H.
-
Pivot the fairing to close it. Check that the fairing is properly aligned with respect to the aircraft
-
centerline, thanks to the centering spigots.
- Bring the fairing stop in contact with the nose cone structure stop, then engage the lock.
- Check that :
- the clearance between the fairing skin and the nose cone skin is the same in any point ;
- the profile of the fairing and nose cone assembly is conform.

7- FINAL STEPS

Check the window heating circuits with the test set (see 14-3).

FUSELAGE BREAKDOWN

The fuselage is made essentially of light alloy with some local reinforcements of titanium. It is a
semi-monocoque structure with frames, stringers and skin panels assembled by bolts and rivets.

To facilitate its description, the fuselage is split into two parts :


- from frame 1 to frame 22
- from frame 22 to frame 41 .

The fuselage comprises :


-41 frames, most of them milled, which can be grouped into three categories :

- Main frames - They ensure strength where important loads are applied i.e.
- aerodynamic loads transmitted by the wings and tail unit
- landing loads
- jet engine loads.

- Secondary frames - They delimit the fuselage section changes and ensure strength where inertial
loads are transmitted by removable assemblies such as air intakes, nose cone and tail cone.

- Intermediate frames - They support the stringers and skin panels and provide fuselage twisting
strength.

- milled light-alloy skin panels incorporating integral reinforcements and stiffeners.


- milled skin panels incorporating integral reinforcements at location of frames and stringers.
- four primary stringers running over the whole length of fuselage which contribute to provide
fuselage bending strength.
- two in the top section
- two in the bottom section.
-secondary stringers, made of light-alloy formed sections, spaced at intervals of 100 (3.937 in) to
110 mm (4.33 in)t approx.
- webs and floors made
- either of chemically milled sheet metal (floor and integral fuel tank)
- or of stiffened sheet metal.

CANOPY MECHANISM
(Figure 8)

1- GENERAL

The canopy opening control is fully mechanical.

Unlocking is controlled :
- From inside by the cockpit RH control lever
- From outside by means of a wrench engaging into a square on the cockpit LH side.

The canopy opens under the action of balancing jack 1. The latter is constructed in such a way
that the canopy opens partially by itself when it is unlocked. An upward impulse enables the pilot to
lock it in up position.

Closing is obtained after pulling control lever 2 on the RH. side. This produces unlocking of the
canopy which falls down by itself to the balance position.

A light pull with the hand on the canopy movable handle returns the canopy onto its seat.

A forward pushing action on the RH. control lever ensures downlocking.

Interconnection of LH and RH mechanisms is ensured by torque shaft 3 and bellcranks 4 located


in the cockpit forward section.

Linkage adjustment is obtained by stops 5.

2- DESCRIPTION

The canopy control mechanism is composed of :


- two normal actuation side mechanisms
- a balancing and open-position locking mechanism.

A Each side mechanism comprises :


- alocking hook 6
The RH hook controls the canopy seal inflating and deflating cock trough a rod 7 and control
finger 29.
- a bellcrank 8
- an adjustable control rod 9 between hook and bellcrank
- a telescopic rod 10
- a link rod 1 1 between bellcrank and control lever
- an adjustable stop 12
- a control lever :
- on RH side (2), it provides internal control of the canopy ; its deflection is limited at the end
of downward travel by stop 1 2 ; the handle folds back,
- on LH side (13), it permits external unlocking control.

The RH side control lever also comprises :


- on its pivot shaft, a free lever 14, returned by spring 15 against a stop 16 and fitted with attach¬
ment of cable 17 for up position unlocking control.

B Balancing mechanism

It consists of a canopy jack 1 comprising a balancing chamber into which the following items
slide :
- a piston 18 equipped with the rod-end actuating the canopy
- a locking bush 19 incorporated in the piston
- a latch rod 20.

The jack body is hinged on a mount fastened against frame 12 at the level of the lateral cabin
beams ; this mount is equipped with control lever 21 of the latch rod.
- a bellcrank lever 22, linked through a rod to the control lever, and which bears unlocking cable
attachment.

3- OPERATION (Fig. 9)

A Canopy closed and locked


The canopy is held in closed position by locking hooks 6.
Telescopic rod 10 ensures this position by buttressing.

B Unlocking (from inside)

Control lever 2, brought to opening position (by pulling), controls the rotation of bellcrank 8
through the action of rod 11 and after releasing the buttressing of telescopic rod 10 against the
bellcrank, controls, through the action of rod 9, the hook opening.

Once unlocked, the canopy jack operation causes the canopy to rise from its seat until its balance
position (half-open position).

The hook opening pulls control finger 29 :


- by cock opening, this finger ensures the canopy
seal air vent to prevent any damage to the seal
during canopy actuations ;
- in turn, this actuates microswitch 28H, which causes «CAB.P» warning light grounding and
lighting-up.

NOTE : The canopy can only take a « LOCKED » or « UNLOCKED » position. Each of these
positions is obtained by telescopic rod 10 buttressing on bellcrank 8.

C Locking in open position

This locking is obtained through a ball device inside the canopy jack.
-The canopy is raised by an impulse and drives piston 18 and locking bush 19 ; the balls enter
groove 23 in the jack cylinder and are pushed and blocked by locking bush 19.

D Unlocking the canopy from up position (lowering)

Control lever 2, brought to down position by pulling, actuates free lever 14 which causes a traction
on cable 17 and lever 21, through shaft 24.

By its deflection, lever 21 drives latch rod 20 and locking bush 19, thus releasing the balls from
the jack cylinder groove ; the canopy is unlocked and returns to its balance position.

E Canopy down lock ing

Pushing the canopy fixed handle brings the canopy to closed position. While maintaining the
canopy in this position, push-in lever 2 to locked position : hooks 6 reengage and lock the canopy.
Telescopic rod 10 and bellcrank 8 assembly are buttressing.

F Unlocking from outside

The hooks can be controlled from outside. The shaft of LH control lever 13 is fitted with a
square. A wrench, engaged on this square, on aircraft LH side, at the root of windshield arch, allows
canopy locking and unlocking mankuvres to be made from outside.

G Canopy unlocked warning

The pilot is warned by illumination of the «CAB.P» light that the canopy is not locked. In locked
position, the RH mechanism hook pushes rod 7 which actuates microswitch 28H which cuts off light.

4- FUSELAGE TO CANOPY JACK CONNECTIONS (Fig. 8)

ment.

(1) Setting of buttressing (forward motion of hook at beginning of unlocking action)

- Remove the pin connecting rod 29 to the lower lever of handle 2 on one side only (on LH side
for RH side adjustment and vice versa).
- Set the dial gauge to zero, in contact with the nose or the rear rounded section of hook 6.
Bring control handle 2 very slowly backwards (opening) and watch the dial gauge.
-
-When buttressing is released, take a reading on the dial gauge (required value : 0.3 to 0.5 mm
(0.012 to 0.020 in)).
- If this is within the tolerances, check the other side in the same way.
- Reconnect rod 29.
- If not, adjust stop 5 (screw to reduce, unscrew to increase).
- Adjust the other side so that there is not more than 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) in difference
between both sides and that buttressing tolerances are met.
-Join the LH and RH linkages, checking that the pins connecting rod 11 to bellcrank 8 are free
to move.

(2) Checking of clearances between canopy rollers and hooks

Use a caliper gauge with one of its inside legs in good contact with the pin head of roller 31.
- Measure the distance between pin head and nose of hook when closed (dimension A - «closed
clearance» : 9 to 1 1 mm (0.35 to 0.43 in)),
- Check that the clearance between the roller and the hook (closed) is between 0.5 and 2 mm
(0.020 and 0.079 in).
- Use modeling clay as shown in the figure.
- Close the canopy, then open it and measure the thickness of the clay stuck to the inside
of the hook.
To obtain the correct value, adjust rod 9.

- Check of «canopy opening» position

- Move the handle in the canopy opening direction. When the handle is in the «canopy
opening» position, bellcrank 14 should be simultaneously in contact with its stop screw 16 and pin
24 integral with the handle (see figure below).

- Check that the handle matches the «canopy opening» position shown on the sector to
within 3°.
This position corresponds to canopy unlocking ; actual opening is obtained to within
1° upon contact with stop 12.

- Check of «canopy lowering» position

Canopy-up unlocking should occur before the handle reaches its stop 12 («canopy lowering»
position of sector to within 1°). When released, the handle should return to the «canopy opening»
position under the sole action of the return spring.
- Lift the canopy to the locked-open position (sharp click).
- Remove the graduated sector.

B Check of forces applied to handle

- Unlocking force in canopy-up position : 1 5 daN (33.7 Ibf) maximum.


- Locking force in canopy-closed position : 15 daN (33.7 Ibf) maximum.
- Unlocking force in canopy-closed position : 10 daN (22.4 Ibf) maximum.

C Operational check of canopy seal inflation cock

With several slow lock and unlock movements, make sure that :
-
- the canopy seal inflates and deflates while the control finger is still in contact with rollers
40 and 38,
- the three-way lever moves correctly under the sole action of the spring rod.

D Operational check of microswitch 28H

This check is to be performed only if the adjustments described in para. 5-E have not been made.
- Repeat the measurements to ensure that the distance traveled by the hook between the point
when the light goes off and the point of locking is 0.8 mm (0.031 in).
-With canopy open, exert a light pressure on handle 2 and check that the handle goes to the
«lock» position upon extinction of the «CAB.P» light.
- With canopy closed, check that operation is identical.

NOTE : In no case should the «CAB.P» light come on when handle 2 is in the «lock» position.

E Check of balancing jack

-Check of internal clearance of rod 18 :


- with jack discharged, measure D1 : protrusion of rod 18 against lower internal stop,
- measure D2 : rod protrusion when canopy is locked closed,
- make sure that internal clearance D2 - D1 is over 1 mm (0.039 in).
- Check of internal clearance of unlocking rod 20 :
- compare the following two positions of the unlocking rod :
- control handle 2 against rear stop,
- unlocking rod 20 brought against the internal stop by pushing on the end of lever 21 ;
the lowering of lever 21 should be clearly felt when control handle 2 is simultaneously held in the
previous position,
- the difference between these two positions should be over 1 mm (0.039 in),

-Remove the sight head (and the camera if installed) (see 14-3) and protect uncoupled
electrical connectors.
-Withdraw from the windshield rear arch the various equipment items and their supports,
as well as any electrical wiring likely to impair access to the nuts attaching the glass panel re¬
taining fairings.

Those supports whose fasteners impede front panel cover plate removal (canopy half-
open hold device bearing support, lamp support) are secured with screws whose heads are lo¬
cated at the bottom of the inflatable seal U-section. To reach such screws :
-unstick the inflatable seal within the support attachment 'area (see 09-2).

NOTE : In order to avoid damaging the cover plates, do not attempt to pull them off abruptly.
Instead, allow them to unstick slowly by applying a continuous pulling force ; for instance,
insert wooden or plastic wedges progressively.

- Remove front cover plate 10 of the side glass panel.


Unscrew and remove side fairing 1 6.
-
- Unscrew rear cover plate 4.
Separate the cover plate with a wedge.
- Remove the screws attaching angle 5 to the cabin spar (8 and 10 A/F wrenches). Mark the loca¬
tion of these screws.
- Separate the angle with a wedge and remove it.
- Press on the internal part of the glass panel to separate it.
- Remove the panel to the outside.

NOTE : Replacing a side panel makes it necessary to remove the front panel cover plate, which may
result in damage to some sections of the front panel molded seal. Upon reassembly, such
damage can be repaired with sealant CAF 7306.

C Preparation before installation of a front panel

-Check condition and bonding (sealant CAF 7306) of the molded seal round the front panel.
- Remove sealant «plugs» that may have formed at the bottom of blind holes and will possibly pre¬
vent the screws from being tightened fully home.
- Complete cleaning with a cotton wool pad lightly soaked in MEK (avoid runnings).
- Check that the attaching screws are clean (groove under head).
- Using a wooden or plexiglas spatula, remove any trace of sealant from the front panel cover plate.
- Degrease the windshield arch periphery.
- Cut the adhesive tape intended to protect the panel inside and outside so that it is exactly flush
with the useful limits of the panel. If necessary, carefully cut off excess lengths with round-end scissors.
Use of a razor blade is prohibited.
- On panel inside face, unstick the adhesive tape over a sufficient length so that it can be comple¬
tely removed later on.

D Installation of a front' panel

- Position the panel of the windshield posts and make sure that it freely fits into its framing.
- Make sure that the internal layer of the front panel is not abutting on windshield post flanges
19.

Remove the panel, then perform the operations below.


Lay a coat of primer A4094 and a bead of sealant CAF 7306 on the molded seal surrounding the
-
panel, on the arch and on the windshield posts, near the attachment holes.
- Install the panel.
-Secure front cover plate 1 within the following 2 hours, providing for profile blending with
respect to the side cover plates.
- Install each screw previously coated with primer A4094 - insert sealant CAF 7306 under head.

ING SHALL BE CAUSE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FASTENER INVOLVED.

-Smooth a bead of sealant inside the groove between cover plate and panel useful limits so as to
obtain a continuous joint.
- Unstick the strips of protective tape while the sealant is still fresh.
- Clean the cover plate with a clean rag. If sealant runnings have propagated over the panel surface,
eliminate them after complete drying only.

E Preparation before installation of a side panel

On panel
-Check condition of black rubber seal 17 round the panel. Rebond it if required (glue EC 1675).
- Cut the adhesive tape intended to protect the panel inside and outside so that it is exactly flush
with the useful limits of the panel (see para. C). If required, border this protection with adhesive tape
EC 670.
- Provide for clear areas at demisting diff users, on internal side.

On structure
- Check joggle recess filling (sealant).
- Unstick the remainder of Klegecel shims 2, 9 and 12 and clean the areas thus freed.
- On framework and fairing contact faces, remove any trace of sealant using a wooden or plexiglas
spatula.
- Clean front cover plate 10, rear cover plate 4 and angle 5. Complete cleaning with MEK.
-Check condition and bonding (glue EC 1675) of Neoprene extrusions 3 bordering panel-to-
framing retaining flanges 19.
- Check condition and bonding of self-inflatable seal 1 1 ; if required, unstick it for cleaning or
replacement.
- Position each panel so that it bears onto the extrusions. Check for proper seating everywhere :
the maximum tolerated play (with panel unstressed) is 2 mm (0.08 in) ; exceptionally, such play can be
reduced by cutting the extrusion at the bottom of the windshield posts or at the top of the arch, over a
length not exceeding 100 mm (3.94 in) - in that case, after temporary assembly of the cover plates,
make sure that the panel does not come into contact with flanges 19.
- Center the panel as properly as possible between frame 2 and the arch so as to obtain a clearance
of 2 mm (0.08 in) - with a local minimum of 1 mm (0.04 in) - between the structure and the external
limit of the seal bonded to the panel ; in the longitudinal direction, the panel must not come into con¬
tact with the structure.
- Trace marks on the panel protective paper and on the structure so that any possible displacement
can be corrected during reassembly.
- Adjust the thickness of Neoprene stops 6 and 8 located along the cabin spar for proper position¬
ing of the panel along the windshield post ; between panel retaining flange and windshield post, with all
cover plates installed, there must be the minimum clearance compatible with an unstressed assembly.
- Make and adjust Klegecel shims 2, 9 and 12 so that they precisely fit into their places.
- Remove the cover plates and the panel.
- Using a clean and lintless rag lightly soaked in MEK (or petroleum ether), carefully clean the
bondable surfaces of Neoprene shims 6 and 8 and of self-inflatable seal 1 1 (if this was removed).
- Using fine grit (320) abrasive paper, sand the framing surfaces to be coated with sealant
CAF 7306 with a view to bonding of Neoprene/Klegecel shims and of the self-inflatablé seals ; wipe
with a clean and lintless rag.
- Using a paintbrush, apply a coat of primer A4094 on the above surfaces.
- Allow to dry for 30 minutes minimum.

- If required, readjust the thickness of Neoprene shims 6 and 8 then bond them (CAF 7306) onto
the side formers (at the locations marked during temporary assembly).
- Bond Klegecel shims 2, 9 and 1 2 :
- spread sealant CAF 7306 into a thin layer (approx. 0.5 mm - 0.02 in) on the surface inten¬
ded to accomodate the shim (use a plexiglas toothed spatula),
- hold shim 2 located at the top of the windshield post so that it does not slide down.
- Blow talcum powder inside self-inflatable seal 1 1 , through one of its holes.
- Bond the self-inflatable seal :
- spread sealant CAF 7306 as already done for Klegecel shims,
- position the seal, taking care that its holes are facing the center of the panel ; there must be
at least one hole at the location where there is no retaining flange (arch/post/frame 2 junction) ; splice 7
connecting the two seal ends must be along the side former,
- firmly crush the seal onto its location, though not stretching it, specially at corners.
- Using a hollow punch, make notches in retaining flange extrusion 13, in line with the holes in
self-inflatable seals (on windshield post side and angle side).
- Stick adhesive tape to the internal and external peripheries of the outer face of the center panel 1
cover plate.
- In the same way, stick adhesive tape to the cover plates of the side panel and to the angle.

F Installation of a side panel

- Position the panel and make sure that the serrations in the self-inflatable seal are hidden by the
panel.
- Apply a coat of primer A4094 with a paintbrush, then lay (without spreading) a thick bead of
sealant CAF 7306 on the splines of seal 17 fitted to the side panel - exclusively on the bearing surface
of cover plates 4 and 10 and of angle 5 ; take care not to run the bead to close to the panel edge. Also
fill Klegecel shim 9. Using a spatula, spread sealant on the arch and frame surfaces where cover plates 4
and 1 0 are to be pressed, as well as on the bearing surface of side angle 5.
(The cover plates and its fasteners, as well as the angle, are to be installed within the following
2 hours).
- Install side angle 5 :
-the attaching screws, whose locations have been marked upon removal, are to be coated
with primer A4094 then installed with sealant CAF 7306 inserted under head,
- for installation of screws, make use of appropriate pins,
-tighten the screws then using a spatula and a rag, remove any excess sealant all round the
panel.
- Position front cover plate 10 and rear cover plate 4.
- Install the attaching screws as described above.

CAUTION :
FITTING THE FRONT PANEL COVER PLATE FASTENERS BACK ONTO THE TITANIUM
WINDSHIELD POST MAY RESULT IN SEIZING OF THE THREADS. ANY INCIPIENT BIND¬
ING SHALL BE CAUSE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FASTENER INVOLVED.

- Beforehand, specially at bent or formed sections, take care to fit only a few fasteners (one screw
out of two or three) without locking them, so as to provide for proper centering of the countersinks
with respect to the holes.

3- PROCEDURE

- Canopy removed.

Modification 527 incorporated :


-mark the limits of the canopy front arch
area which is not covered by the 70 mm (2.76 in)
seal above the groove marking the junction with
fuselage form.

- Carefully clean the section of canopy frame which accommodates the seal. Remove all traces of
former seal adhesive, the cleaning down to surface with a wooden or plexiglas spatula.
- Remaining adhesive can be removed using a clean lint-free rag lightly soaked with MEK. Finish
off with No. 320 abrasive paper.

CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW MEK DROPS TO FALL ON PLEXIGLAS.

- Coat canopy seal with talcum powder.


- Reinstall canopy on aircraft.
- Close canopy and inflate seal. Deflate seal. Open canopy and mark the trace left by the talcum
powder.
- Remove canopy and place it on a support mount, with the hooks directed upwards.
- Bond an adhesive tape at 7 mm (0.274 in) on either side of the axis of the trace. Clean the
surface between the adhesive tapes with a clean rag lightly soaked with MEK.
- Clean up surface with abrasive paper and wipe off the dust with a clean lint-free rag.
- Apply a primer coat with a brush. Allow to dry for 30 minutes.
- Apply a bead of sealant and spread it to a thin layer, 0,5 mm (0.019 in) thick approx., using a

- Install the seal on this cement, between the two strips of adhesive tape, and press it onto the
bonding plane without stretching it, in particular at the four bends.
- Proceed with new bonding lengths.
- Stop bonding when reaching the groove, and
cut the seal 70 mm (2.76 in) above the latter.
-Bevel the seal over 50 mm (1.97 in). The h^hr)^ ^\ Groove
bevel shall be made inside the seal, so that sealing
of the outer skin is not destroyed.
- Complete bonding.
Secure the seal with adhesive tape jumpers.
- When the seal is cured, remove the adhesive
tape jumpers.

CAUTION :

-THE USE OF ALCOHOL, TRICHLOROETHYLENE OR ANY THINNER IS STRICTLY


FORBIDDEN.
-NOTHING SHALL BE BONDED ON PLEXIGLAS WITH ADHESIVE TAPE OTHER THAN
MINNESOTA 670 TAPE.

If a side panel is to be protected with a paper or plexiglas cover, these protections should be
sufficiently oversized to be bonded on the frames with masking tape.

SOONER OR LATER, THESE PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE CRAZING ON PLEXIGLAS ;THIS


DAMAGE CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND ITS SUDDEN EXTENSION MAY BECOME DANGEROUS.

4- FINAL STEPS

- Reinstall the canopy on aircraft.


- Carry out a cabin pressurization test (see 09-2).

5- INSPECTION

A Wing and fuselage bores

(1) Preliminary steps


Using grade F aliphatic naphtha or MEK applied with a soft brush, thoroughly clean the bores
of frame 25 (F.25A and F.25B) and the wing fitting bore. Wipe dry with a clean lint-free cloth without
applying undue pressure.

(2) Inspection of bores


For information :
The fuselage side fitting (frame 25) is in A7U4SG.
The wing fitting is in maraging steel and the bores are notably provided with a Dalic protection
against contact corrosion (0.010 to 0.012 mm thick).

NOTE : The Dalic process consists of an electrolytic deposit of a nickel/tin/lead alloy applied with
a pad. This protection is applied during the manufacturing stage of the bare fitting in com¬
pliance with a specific process sheet (application, degassing) and can under no circumstances
be reworked.

(a) Inspection of fuselage bores


At the bore of each frame (25A and 25B), check for :
-contact corrosion (fretting) and, if detected, perform the necessary trimming operations as
described hereunder :
Trimming limits :
-
The trimming must not exceed the following values :
- Depth : 0.2 mm (0.008 in).
-Total area : 2 cm2 (0.310 sq.in) (over only one area or several accumulated areas
and not including the zone covered by the sleeve slot).

At the zone covered by the sleeve slot, the trimming must not exceed the following values :
- Depth : 0.4 mm (0.016 in).
- Width : 2.5 mm (0.100 in) on either side of the slot centerline.

NOTE : These limit values may be accumulated for one bore.

- Trimming and surface treatment procedure :

- Trimming
Trimming must be performed with the utmost care.

- In case of surface corrosion, it is to be removed with carborundum abrasive paper.


- In case of deep corrosion, it is to be removed with a spherical carbide cutter.
- No scratches or sharp edges are tolerated.
-Trimming shall be completed by surface polishing (degree of roughness similar to
that of the bore surface) and no tool mark is to remain.

- Surface treatment
- Treat the trimmed surface with Foscral solution diluted with 50 % water or reagent
thinner and applied with a pad, then thoroughly rinse with clean water applied with a sponge.

AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT fl^^Tvl.
BREGUET AVIATION^c^F3^^^^
MIRAGE F
^£2^=--<Q^ Restricted MANUAL 03

CAUTION :
ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN DURING THIS LAST OPERATION
SO AS TO PREVENT ANY RUNS FROM OUTSIDE THE BORE.

- Scratches and, if detected, perform the necessary trimming operations as described hereunder :
The scratches not exceeding 0.2 mm (0.008 in) in depth shall be individually trimmed as
indicated below.
- The scratches not exceeding 0.1 mm (0.004 in) in depth shall be :
- carefully deburred,
- compressed with a piano wire.

These scratches are not accounted for in the trimmed areas if their total accumulated
length does not exceed 100 mm (39.37 in). Beyond this value, the excess areas are to be accounted
for and must be added for determining the areas trimmed for fretting corrosion removal purposes.

- The scratches with a depth of between 0.1 and 0.2 mm (0.004 and 0.008 in) shall be trimmed
by blending out their sides. The resulting trimmed areas shall be accounted for regardless of their
length as indicated above.

NOTE : No special surface treatment is to be applied after trimming of the scratches.

(b) Inspection of wing bores


At each bore, check :
-The Dalic protection for condition (this protection appears as a bright film). Depending on the
bore zone, it may be detected that this protection is degraded or transferred to the sleeve outside
diameter. Blackish traces or zones may also be detected in the bores and are caused by oxidation
of the Dalic coating ; do not attempt to remove these traces.

NOTE : The degradation or transfer of the Dalic protection generally corresponds to the bore zones
subjected, to the greatest loads.
They cover approximately one quarter of the bore surface in total and are distributed over
two zones each comprised within an angle of approximately 45° constructed on the load
axis (see sketch below).

Principal fretting surfaces

Perform the following operations depending on the condition of the Dalic protection remaining
in the bore :
- Remove the loose deposit (separated particles, blisters) by wiping with a slightly rough cloth
without applying undue pressure, then clean with MEK or grade F aliphatic naphtha.

CAUTION :
THIS VERY SOFT DEPOSIT IS EASILY REMOVED.

AA
09-84 Restricted | 3-503F
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT
BREGUET AVIATION
MIRAGE F
Restricted MANUAL 03

- If 50 % of the bore area is still protected by a continuous coating of Dalic, with very slight
disappearance of the protection (less than 5 %) being tolerated within this same area, no corrective
action is to be performed.

- If the above requirement is not complied with or if the remaining coating of Dalic is spread
in the form or small patches, the protection is to be completely removed from the bore (plastic scraper).
In this case, determine the new insertion dimension of the pin (see 03-3) on completion of the checks.

- For contact corrosion (fretting). Perform a thorough inspection, particularly at the bore edge.
Any evidence of corrosion must be removed as described hereafter :
- Thoroughly clean with a lint-free cloth dampened with MEK.
- Sand the degraded zone with abrasive paper (grade 280 or 240).
- Once the corrosion or scratches appear to have been removed, polish the treated zone with
abrasive paper in successively finer grades (finish with grade 600).
- Thoroughly clean the polished surface with a lint-free cloth dampened with MEK.
- Using a magnifying glass (x 4 to 6), perform a thorough inspection under a grazing light to
make sure that any defect has been rectified.

Confirm the rectification of defects by performing a penetrant inspection with the use
of Ardrox 985 P3 as described below :

Thoroughly homogenize the 985 P3 penetrant, then apply with a brush.


-
Allow to penetrate for at least 20 minutes ; keep the zone moist during this period by
-
adding penetrant as required.
- Wipe off the excess penetrant with absorbent paper.
- Using a brush, apply 9PR4 emulsifier to all the zone coated with the penetrant and allow
to act for 1 minute.
- Clean the zone with paper dampened with distilled water ; check that no fluorescent back¬
ground remains under a UV light, then dry.
- Spray on 996-901 developer and allow to act for at least 20 minutes.
- Check that no corrosion pitting id detected under the UV light, with the lamp held at
approximately 30 to 40 cm (12 to 15 in) from the fitting.

NOTE : The lamp must warm up for at least 20 minutes.

- After inspection, remove the penetrant material with MEK.

B Inspection of main pins

- For information, each main pin consists of :


- one titanium (TA6V) taper pin with Microf Ion-coated tapered portion,
-one steel sleeve (30NCD16) with Microflon-coated outside diameter and cadmium-plated
flange.
- one steel washer (15CDV6),
- one castellated nut,
- one safety pin.

(1) Using grade F aliphatic naphtha or MEK applied with a soft brush, thoroughly clean the various
components of the main pins. Wipe dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

CAUTION :
TITANIUM PARTS SHALL, IN NO CASE, BE CLEANED WITH CHLORINATED SOLVENTS.

(2) Inspection of taper pin

Check :
the Microf Ion-coating on the tapered portion for condition which can be considered as satis¬
-
factory if the coating has not disappeared or shows no signs of peeling ; blisters are permissible. If
otherwise, discard the pin,

- for defects such as scratches, marking or evidence of fretting (particularly at the slot and ends).
If defects are detected, they are to be trimmed (with stone for titanium - Crystolon grade 39C60LV
stone and Crystolon grade 39C150LV finishing stone, used dry) up to a maximum defect depth (mark¬
ing, scratch or corrosion) of 0.1 mm (0.004 in). In addition, the trimmed area must be no greater
than 10 % of the tapered bearing surface.

If these limits are exceeded, discard the pin.

- for distortion (this inspection is to be performed on a surface plate),

- the threads for condition ; spray the threads with Molykote 3402.

NOTE : When reinstalling the pin in the sleeve, make sure that a non-trimmed portion is aligned
with the sleeve slot.

(3) Inspection of sleeve

A transfer of the wing fitting Dalic protection (which appears as a bright film) is generally detected
on the sleeve outside diameter.

This Dalic deposit is to be removed with, for instance, a plexiglas scraper. Do not damage the
sleeve Microflon coating during this operation.

Blackish traces may also be detected ; these are not to be removed (Teflon).

Clean the sleeve with grade F aliphatic naphtha or MEK.

Using a magnifying glass, check :

- The outside diameter of the sleeve for fretting corrosion or marking, notably in the zone located
opposite the wing fitting, extending the zone approximately 1 cm (0.39 in) on either side, and particu¬
larly at the wing-to-fuselage boundary zones. Any sleeve showing signs of fretting corrosion shall be
systematically discarded.

Fretting : This is distinguished by bare metal with the appearance of microcraters or high metal
spots.

- It is normal to detect marking (slight upset which corresponds to peening in this zone) at the
wing-to-fuselage boundary with the sleeve having a bright appearance at this location. The sleeve is
deemed as acceptable in this case.

The slight scratches caused by assembly or disassembly operations or any accidental handling
are acceptable and shall be trimmed with an India stone.

- The inside diameter for scratches, evidence of fretting and burrs. Any defects detected are to
be trimmed with a wet crocus cloth.

DETERMINATION OF INSERTION OF WING-TO-FUSELAGE


AND FIN-TO-FUSELAGE MAIN ATTACHMENT PINS

1- SCOPE

This method should be applied whenever installing :


- a spare pin
- an unmatched pin
- a new element (wing or fin)
- when the Dalic coating has disappeared.

The wing and fin main attachments consist of a taper pin/expandable sleeve assembly for
connection between fuselage frame and element main fitting.

Pin insertion and consequently sleeve expansion should cause a stress in the bore of each
attachment part. This stress is the best compromise between a lower limit permitting to avoid «fretting/
corrosion» under load, and an upper limit selected to eliminate any risk of corrosion under stress and
any effective possibility of pin insertion (stress to be applied). For this, a taper pin insertion dimension
is determined. This dimension is measured from the point of contact between the various components
of the pin, taking the pin taper into account to obtain the tightening required.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Special tools
-Depth gauge (with a 0 to 20 mm (0.784 in) dimension capacity).

B Standard tools
- Sockets M24, M54, M60.
- Torque wrench kit, 2 to 20 m.daN (1 5 to 1 50 ft. lb).
- Torque wrench accessory kit, 2 to 20 m.daN (15 to 150 ftlb).
- Adapter 3/4 «1» (Facom K232 or equivalent).

3- MATERIALS

- Aliphatic naphtha, gradé F.


-Petrolatum Codex.
-Grease AIR 4205.
- Methylethylketone.

4- PRELIMINARY STEPS

A Taper pins

(1) Cleaning

CAUTION :
TITANIUM PARTS SHALL IN NO CASE BE CLEANED WITH CHLORINATED SOLVENTS
(TAPER PIN).

- Separate the components of each pin. Remove the safety pin, nut, washer and expandable sleeve.
- Remove any molykote burrs from the taper pin threads (on new pin) by lightly filing with a card.
- Carefully clean all the parts with aliphatic naphtha, grade F, and wipe them with a clean and
lint-free rag.

4- PROCEDURE

(1) Cleaning of surfaces

CAUTION
DUE TO ELEMENTS MADE OF TITANIUM ALLOY (PROTECAL SHIELDS), THE USE OF
CHLORINATED SOLVENTS IS PROHIBITED.

NOTE : Protect all recesses or interfaces close to the tank panels so as to avoid any infiltration of
the products used.

- Clean the tank panels first with cloths soaked in white spirit and then more carefully with clean
cloths soaked in Diestone S solvent or MEK and wrung out.
- Clean the heat shields with cloths soaked in Diestone S solvent or MEK.

(2) Corrosion detection

- Carefully inspect the panels so as to detect any possible corrosion pitting in the skin around the
corrugations of the heat shields.
- Particularly inspect the periphery of the rivets attaching the panels to the structure.

Should there be any corrosion, remove it and treat the affected surface (see 03-3-6).

If there is no corrosion :
-protect the engine compartment walls with paint (see Structural Repair Manual),
- if the paint cannot be applied immediately, apply temporarily Ardrox 3140 (see application con¬
ditions in 03-3-6).

This treatment may be repeated pending an aircraft grounding period allowing protective paint
application.

(3) Final steps

If Ardrox has been used, reinstall the shields as soon as the product is no longer tacky.

When reinstalling the shields, take care of the screw location (see para. 3 (2)).

- Install the fire detector deflectors, making sure that there is a 2 mm (0.08 in) clearance between
deflectors and heat shield.
- Install the engine.

- Clean the rear centering pin integral with the fin and wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth.
- Apply a coat of Mastinox 6856H on it.
- Apply a coat of Mastinox dilution on the main fitting surfaces.

Preparation of pins

- For each taper pin :


- remove (if required) the old plug of Mastinox which blanked the slot in the sleeve,
- carefully clean the various components with aliphatic naphtha, grade F,
- wipe them with a clean lint-free cloth,

CAUTION :
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE TITANIUM PIN BE CLEANED WITH CHLO¬
RINATED SOLVENTS.
- carefully check each component ; particularly check for condition of surfaces and of teflon
micro-coating on sleeve inner surface and pin outer surface.
- in case of replacement, determine the insertion dimension (see 03-3-5),
- apply a light film of :
- petrolatum on the taper pin
- grease on the contact surfaces of washer and nut,

NOTE : It is recommended to use an unpainted tube of grease or petrolatum.

- assemble each taper pin (sleeve, pin and washer) making sure the components are positioned
according to their marking ;
- protect the taper pin :
- slightly tighten the nut to open the slot in the sleeve,
- blank off its ends with adhesive paper,
- apply Mastinox C 627B to the ends of the slot as follows :
- flange side along 10 mm (0.39 in)
- opposite side along 5 mm (0.196 in).
After four or five hours of curing, the Mastinox C 627B will form two plugs with
a certain elasticity ;
- remove the taper pin nut with washer ;
- slide the sleeve on the taper pin to suppress the gap of the slot and permit the sleeve
to enter the bores easily.
(take care not to destroy the plugs of Mastinox).

4- REPLACEMENT OF FIN

Fit the new fin with the following components, recovered from the removed fin :
- rudder electrically-operated selector valve (door D2.43)
- rudder releasable bellcrank (see 04-3-3) (door D2.43)
- rudder servo-control (see 04-3^3)
- flux valves (see manual 1 2-3-1 )

5 - INSTALLATION OF FIN

Using the same hoisting devices as those used for removal, and using a similar procedure :
- offer the fin up above the fuselage,
- remove blanks from hydraulic pipes and check pipes for cleanness, on fuselage and fin,
- carefully bring the fin fittings in front of the fuselage ones,
- on fuselage, bring the front and rear ball joints in correct position so as not to catch on assembly,
- lower the fin (make sure nothing catches) in order to engage the fin main fitting by a few
centimeters into the fuselage fitting,
- check their relative position is correct and then slowly introduce the fin main spar until bores
are aligned,
- make sure that the centering pin integral with the fin is correctly positioned in its fitting,
- make sure that the ball joints are properly centered in relation to the fin secondary fittings.

replace the ball joint (see 034).

In case of oxidation on the periphery of the ball-joint outer ring, remove it using 600-grit emery
cloth while perfectly protecting the ball joint so as to prevent ingress of dust in the Airflon.

Examine the ball-joint housing to detect any possible oxidation and scratches.

In case of oxidation, remove it using 450- to 600-grit emery Cloth.

In case of scratches, smooth out the edges with emery cloth without attempting to remove the
scratch recesses.

Perfectly clean with trichloroethane or Diestone S.

Measure the ball-joint housing : the diameter not to be exceeded is 130.06 mm (5.142 in). Beyond
this value, the stabilators will be sent for repair.

4- PROCEDURE

A Thorough inspection of lower and upper surface skin panels on trailing edge.

Check for :

- general condition of paint (no cracking, scaling, swelling, etc.),


- general condition of the riveting (missing rivets, loose rivets, etc.) (see 03-0),
- visible unsticking,
- any other visible defect (corrosion, impact marks, dents, etc.).

B Ultrasonic checking of trailing edge

IMPORTANT NOTE : The procedures for checking upper surface and lower surface skin panels
are strictly identical ; for that reason, the procedure described applies to
both.

- Using soft pencil for example, mark the following on the upper and lower surface skin panels
a
of the trailing edge : limits of the various metal/metal areas (edgings...) to be checked, location of all
rivets, as well as the three honeycomb internal cutouts (see figures 1 and 2).

(1 ) Checking of metal/metal bonding by means of Bondtester, model 70

(a) Carefully spread coupling fluid over the metal/metal areas (edgings) to be checked, all round
the trailing edge structural box.

NOTE : The limits of these areas have been marked as requested above.

(b) Start up the instrument. Adjust as required to obtain a clear image precisely centered within
the scope.

(c) Select a feeler (usually 3814), connect it to the instrument then refine the setting.

(d) Calibrate the instrument.

Take standard BZ 9/1 85U.


-
- Select onthis standard the sheet thickness corresponding to the area to be checked (0.8 or
1.3 mm). Apply on the sheet a thin coat of coupling fluid (petrolatum Air 3565). Bring the feeler into
contact with the sheet.
- Adjust the instrument as instructed in the manufacturer's technical handbook, so that :
- on scale «A», the signal (peak) coincides with the screen 0 graduation,
- on scale «B», the pointer coincides with the 1 00 graduation.

(e) Refine calibration on a trailing edge area to be checked (select an area where bonding is perfect) :
the indications read on scales «A» and «B» must be close to those illustrated below.

W llll lllllllll llll

Scale "A" Scale "B'

-Case where the resonant frequency decreases.


-Case where the resonant frequency increases.

NOTE : There may be slight differences between the setting values of the instrument (due to the
coat of paint, for instance). This may be remedied by refining the settings as instructed
in the manufacturer's handbook.

(f) Check the previously marked metal/metal areas, all round the trailing edge structural box (see
figures 1 and 2). This check is to be done section by section, between each rivet (whose location has
been previously marked too). If possible, between two readings, the feeler is to be displaced by a
distance lower than its diameter.

NOTE : The metal/metal bonding check cannot be performed on a band equal to half the feeler
diameter all along the structural box edging.

- On the screens (scales «A» and «B»), any bonding defect shows up as follows :

- on scale «A», the signal (peak) is within the 6 to + 6 range,


- on scale «B», the pointer is between graduations 80 and 100.

Scale "B" '

BREGUET AVIATION
Restricted MANUAL 03

NOTE : - Slight variations between the scope and the pointer are not necessarily the sign of a defect.
If in doubt, repeat the check several times at the questionable area.
- When a defect is found or seems to be found, locate it precisely by marking its limits on the
trailing edge, then repeat the check several times so as to confirm the presence of the
defect (unsticking).

(g) Once the check is completed, wipe the surface dry of coupling fluid using a dry, clean and lintless
rag. If required, do not suppress the defect marking(s) .

(2) Checking of metal/honeycomb bonding with Sonic MK1 or Krautkramer USL32 or 42.

(a) Mark on the skin the whole metal/honeycomb area so as to perform a thorough check (parallel
lines separated by a distance slightly lower than the feeler diameter).

(b) Carefully coat the skin with coupling fluid.

(c) Start up the instrument.

(d) Make the following preselections on the instrument :

- operating frequency : MHz (suitable for skin thicknesses lower than 3 mm),
1
- sweep rate (distance calibration scale as a function of the skin and honeycomb thickness) :
potentiometer between 1 0 and 20 mm,
- amplification set to 90% power,
- threshold or reject set to 0,
- as far as Sonic MK1 is involved, «damping» set to 0.

(e) Calibrate the instrument

Take the standard corresponding to the area to be checked.


-
Spread a thin coat of coupling fluid (petrolatum Air 3565) on the standard, then carry out the
-
operations described below.

Apply the feeler onto the defective area of the standard.


-
Using «DELAY» or «RETARD» button of the feeler, sweep all the corresponding range
-
of the instrument. The scope display runs. Two separate zones of multiple echoes appear.

(A) High amplitude multiple echo zone.


(B) Low amplitude multiple echo zone.

- Have the scope display shift to the left, so that zone A disappears completely (on the
screen, only the beginning of zone B is visible).

llwVAiyUAMk^MUUuAiAÉAill
IIMIMnUMnM/MUVmlmVIJUl

- Adjust the threshold value («REJECT» button) so that all echoes disappear (do not exceed
the required threshold).

- Apply the feeler onto the standard area where bonding is correct. A great number of echoes
appear on the screen.
- Adjust the amplitude so that the height of the echoes is at least equal to that of the screen.
- Adjust the display by compressing the echoes so that the screen shows a maximum number
of echoes. There must be no blank.

- Apply the feeler again onto the defective area of the standard.

- Adjust the threshold value («REJECT» button) so as to eliminate any echo possibly gene¬
rated subsequent to selection of an excessive amplification (echo amplitude setting) during the previous
operation.

- Place the feeler «in the air».

There must be absolutely no echo on the screen. The instrument setting must not be modified.

Restricted MANUAL 03

NOTE : If some echoes appear on the screen, sweep them by actuating «DELAY» or «RETARD»
button so that the echo display shifts to the left.

(f) Check all the skin metal/honeycomb surface by displacing the feeler carefully as per the marks
(parallel lines) made previously.

The appearance of a flat oscillogram may be due, either to a thorough unsticking, or to a thick
but non-reducible film of glue. This may be differentiated by using :

-a standard with a double film of glue,


-a higher ultrasonic frequency (5 MHz).

NOTE : - Since the thickness of the upper and lower surface skin sheet goes increasing from trailing
edge to rear spar (see figure 1 for detail of upper and lower surface skin thicknesses), it mly
be necessary to readjust the echo amplitude.

- During the check, use the metal/metal area markings (edgings) as limits.

- When a defect is found or seems to be found, locate it precisely by marking its limits on the
skin, then repeat the check several times so as to confirm the defect.

- The check may turn to be very delicate at the trailing edge, within the area where honey¬
comb thickness becomes minimum. Presence of unsticking then may be confirmed by lightly
tapping on the questionable area with a special durai tool the size of a pencil with round
and polished tips. The sound produced when tapping a stuck area and an unstuck area is
quite different and can be interpreted as follows :

- clear single sound : the assembly is satisfactory,


- dull and muffled sound : a defect exists.

(g) Once the check is completed, wipe the surface dry of coupling fluid with a dry, clean and lintless
rag. If required, do not suppress the defect marking(s).

(3) X-ray checking for traces of fluid in honeycomb material or defects in vertical glue joints (junction
of four honeycomb sections, for instance).

C Final steps

- If required, restore to initial condition as described in Repair Manual ; for any defect not dealt
with in this Manual, seek the manufacturer's advice.

-Carefully clean the upper and lower surface skin panels of the trailing edge structural box
(suppression of the various markings in particular).

RADIO COMPASS SENSE ANTENNA CREST


(Figure 7M)

1- DESCRIPTION

Forward of the fin, between frames 28 and 33, the fuselage rear section receives a triangular
crest 1 housing radio compass sense antenna 3.

Front cone 2 connects the crest to the fuselage.


Rear cowling 4 connects the crest to the fin.

A Antenna 3

- It is located between frames 28 and 32.


- It consists of a machined light alloy support flange 5 for attachment to the fuselage, and to
which laminated plastic antenna fairing 6 is attached.
The antenna is attached to the fuselage at five points :
- one forward, at F.28, through an 8 dia screw and a sealed captive nut attached under the
frame flange ;
- two at F.30, on RH and LH sides, through 6 dia screws and sealed captive nuts ;
- two at F.31 , on RH and LH sides, through 6 dia screws and sealed captive nuts.
- The rear section of the antenna is attached through fourteen 5 dia screws to pick-up rib 7 bolted
and riveted to the fuselage at F.32.
- Antenna bonding is obtained through metallized seals 8 attached through counterplates 9 screwed
under the antenna flange.

B Front cone 2

This machined light alloy component is an extension of the crest attaching the latter to the
fuselage upper section, forward of F.28..
The cone is attached to the fuselage and to the antenna flange through a 5-dia captive screw
screwed in sealed floating captive nuts.

G- Rear cowling 4 (D0.00)

This cowling, located between frames 32 and 33, consists of a machined and roll-formed light alloy
sheet fairing the crest to the fin form.
It is attached as follows :
- at the front, to F.32 pick-up rib 7, through twelve 5-dia screws ;
- at the rear, to fin rib OC, through eighteen 5-dia screws ;
-at the lower section, to fillets 32.11.1 and 32.01.1 through six 5-dia screws ; the nuts
corresponding to these screws are riveted along the cowling edging.

NOTE : The antenna crest sits astride three access doors : 26.00, 28.00 and 29.00. Therefore opening
of the 1st door requires removal of front cone 2, while complete opening of the 2nd and 3rd
doors requires removal of antenna 3. However, the 2nd door can be opened in two parts,
hinging on either side of the antenna.

A- Standard tools
- Pneumatic unscrewing machine 30 082
- Pneumatic screwing machine 30 125.

B Special tools
- Screw unlocking tool MS 1388.

2- GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

A- Tools

(1 ) Screwdriver

Mandatorily use a screwdriver the bit of which strictly matches the screw head shape and which is
in perfect condition.

(2) Pneumatic screwing machine

(a) It shall be of the adjustable torque type ; otherwise, the cruciform shape corners are very rapidly
rounded off, and therefore, it becomes very difficult to remove screw, even with hand screwdriver.
Torque to be applied will be determined in relation to screw diameter (see 01-2).

Besides, it is mandatory to use screwdriver adapter appropriate to the machine and corresponding
to screw shape.

CAUTION :
NEVER USE PNEUMATIC SCREWING MACHINE FOR ANTENNA FAIRING ATTACHING
SCREWS.

(b) For untightening : unlock screw with hand screwdriver or with screw unlocking tool, then
complete operation with unscrewing machine.

(c) For tightening : engage the first two threads by hand, then complete with screwing machine. Take
care that screwdriver adapter remains in the shape during the whole operation.

B Carefully check removed screws. Replace damaged screws by same reference spares (ISO type
hardware).

C Never apply grease or tallow on screw threads.

CAUTION :
TITANIUM PARTS SHALL IN -NO CASE BE CLEANED WITH CHLORIC SOLVENTS. DRY-
CLEAN THEM.

3- REMOVAL

A Doors and panels attached by screws,

(1 ) As a rule, screw diameter and length are uniform for same door or panel. But, this was not possible
for very large panels or for highly stressed panels. In this case, a template, reproducing drilling of the
panel to be removed, is to be manufactured. On this template, each screw shall be placed into the
corresponding hole, as removal proceeds. Uniform screws of other doors or panels shall be put into a
fabric bag which is to be attached to the corresponding door or panel.

(a) The following internal doors: 1 9.05.1 i, 1 9.07.1 i, 19.05.2i, 19.07.2i, 20.06i (gun bay ceil¬
ing), 22.06i, 23.06.1 i, 24.06i, cowlings (case magazines), 23.05i, 23.07i, 25.05i, 25.07i,
26.05i, 26.07i (main U/C well), 28.06i, 30.06i (engine compartment) are attached by screws
of two different lengths for each door. To prevent an error on installation, which may nave se¬
rious consequences, the two lengths of screws have been identified (see below) so as to be
differentiated easily.
For a same door:
-first length of screw (the most used on this door) = titanium scrévviiTKX - bluish color),
-second length of screw:
(a) one red paint circle is drawn round the screw hole.
(b) the screw is made of steel (BCL) and is differentiated from the others by cadmium
plating (typical color). . . .

NOTE: Some doors include a third length of screws; these screws are of the countersunk head
type to avoid any error.
(b) Internal doors 29.04i, 29.08i include one screw which has to be installed in a special
way, at location of frame 31 and stringer 17. This screw is installed in a direction opposite to
that of the other ones. On assembly, take care to keep the attachment stacking and to seal on
nut side.
B Doors or panels attached by clips.
-Mandatorily use flat end screwdrivers corresponding to the lock head slot.
-In case of formed doors (case of doors located on fuselage dorsal fin), these clips are of
the non-captive type and it is mandatory to recover them as they are unlocked.
C - Sealed doors ._
(1) Sealed doors fitted with seal i. I
Their removal is made in two steps. Disengage the door from its framing by pushing it in¬
wards, then extract it. To make this operation easier, each door is fitted with a sealed captive
riutinto which a screw (door attaching screw) or a threaded rod is to be screwed and used as
a "grip" on the door.

-screw 17 attaching locking angle 16,
-nut 15 attaching pin 11,
- pin 1 1 ; recover recessed washer,
-extract the pin from the ventral fin fitting.
NOTE : Should the pin be difficult to
extract, proceed as follows :
- fabricate an extraction sleeve from a
length of tube suited to the diameter of
the top of the fitting and closed off
with a plate (which may be welded),
allowing a clearance of approximately
1 cm (0.39 in) between the plate and
the top of the pin,
- use a C-clamp of an appropriate
shape so that one end can be inserted
through the fitting access door to
bear against the pin threaded end,
with the other end clamping the top
of the extraction sleeve (see sketch).
If necessary, grind the edges of the
C-clamp lower clamping face to improve
its positioning under the threaded

EXPLANATION AND USE OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1- MAINTENANCE MANUAL COMPOSITION

Each Manual comprises :

A - A title page identifying the publication.

B A list of effective pages which is the record of all the pages making up the Manual. It determines
the Manual breakdown.

C A list of modifications included in the Manual. This list which is specific to each manual records
only those modifications which affect the Manual concerned.

D A table of contents which lists the Sections making up the Manual.

E The various Sections making up the Manual.

2- BREAKDOWN OF A MAINTENANCE MANUAL SECTION

Three different kinds of «Sections» can be defined in a Maintenance Manual depending on


whether the Manual deals with an aircraft system or special information.

A Common Sections in a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.

Each of these Sections is subdivided into 9 Sub-Sections which are assigned an unchanging title
and sequence number :

Section Sub-Section title


No

0 - General
1 - Description and operation
2 - Trouble shooting
3 - Removal-Installation
4 - Disassembly-Assembly
5 - Inspection-Check- Adjustment
6 - Cleaning-Corrosion preventive treatment-
Painting
7 -Storage-Preservation-Transportation
8 - Repair

NOTE:
(1 ) Maintenance and lubrication are covered by Sub-Section 6.
(2) In each Manual, Sub-Section 7 deals with the matter of preservation-packaging and transportation
relating to the individual items of the system to which the Manual is applicable and which forms the
subject of an incorporated documentation. As concerns the complete aircraft, this matter is dealt with
in the «GENERAL» Manual.
(3) Sub-Section 8 covers- the reconditioning operations for the items of the system to which the
Manual is devoted. The structural repairs of the aircraft form the subject of a separate Manual :
«STRUCTURAL REPAIRS».
(4) Any Sub-Section which is not applicable is not shown.

B - GENERAL INFORMATION Section of a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.


Its breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with an
aircraft system.
The structure of this Section is «as required» and this Section deals with all the matters which are
common to the other Manual Sections.

This Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.
C Sections of a Manual dealing with general or specific information.

Their breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with
an aircraft system.

The structure of these Sections is «as required» in accordance with general or technical information
forming the subject of the Section.
Each Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.

3- ARRANGEMENT OF A COMMON SECTION IN A MANUAL DEALING WITH A SYSTEM

A - Sub-Section 0 - GENERAL

This is an introductory Sub-Section which gives the general principles of the functional system
covered by the Section. A schematic diagram is usually attached to this Sub-Section.

B - Sub-Section 1 - DESCRIPTION - OPERATION

This Sub-Section is arranged as follows :

(1 ) A table of components, lists all the units, accessories and equipment items of the system concerned,
in the logical descriptive sequence. It gives the essential characteristics of these equipment items, their
function in the system concerned, their location within the aircraft and it indicates whether the
relevant documentation is separate or incorporated.
Layout illustrations are usually attached to this Sub-Section, which also refers to the functional diagram.
The purpose of the table of components is to clarify the system description, by specifying the purpose
and the characteristics of the various components.
In this table, the units, accessories or equipment items are identified by :
- the reference designation for those equipment items which have an electrical function.
- a sequential index number (1 to X) when the item is not assigned any reference designation.

Note that the values shown in the table of components are rated values. When tolerances apply to
these values, they are always given in the Sub-Section which deals with maintenance.

(2) A text portion which describes the system operation in detail. This refers to the functional diagram.
NOTE The detailed description and operation of the individual equipment items are given in their
:
separatedocumentation or, if applicable, in the documentation i'.nown as the incorporated
documentation (see below).

(3) The description-operation part of the «incorporated documentation» for some equipment items is
contained in pages or groups of pages which are independent and placed next to the description and
operation of the system to which they belong.

The «incorporated documentation» is given in the same order as it appears in the table of
components ; it is illustrated whenever necessary and the internal index numbers are given in the
sequence 1 to X for each component, independently of the index numbers shown in the table of
components.

C - Sub-Sections 2 to 8 :

These Sub-Sections give all technical information on the maintenance of the functional system
which forms the subject of the Section.

(1 ) Each Maintenance operation is described in the Sub-Section corresponding to its category.

At the head of each group of pages which describe details of an operation, the following
information will be. found :

(a) Equipment required which lists the tools and ground support equipment required to perform the
operation. Since the tools are grouped in homogeneous kits, only the tool kit to be used is specified.
However, the tools are indicated in the text by :
- the dimension across flats (in mm) for the spanner to be used when standard tools are concerned,
unless a specific spanner must be used.
- the part number when special tools or special ground support equipment are concerned.

(b) Materials. The standard designation of the materials used, or the commercial designation if the
former is not available, is shown under this heading.
However, the standard designation suffixes are shown only in the «list of various products and
materials» in the «GENERAL» Manual.
If only one material is used during the operation, its designation is not recalled in the text which details
the operation.

(c) Spares. Only the spares which are systematically required are shown by their names supplemented,
ifnecessary, by an indication in order to avoid any confusion in their location. Reference shall be
made to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown to find their part numbers. The only exception to this rule is
the standard hardware, for which the standard part number is shown.

(2) The man-hours required for the performance of the operation are not given in the description of
the operation, but in the table of periodic maintenance operations included in Manual 01 «GENERAL».

4- IDENTIFICATION ON INSPECTION DOORS

The figures showing the location of the inspection doors, are part of Manual 01 «GENERAL», to
which reference should be made.
The door numbering principles are as follows :

A Sub-assembly on which a door is located.

- Fuselage - the number consists of four digits.


- Wings - the number consists of letter V followed by three digits.
- Stabilator - the number consists of letter E followed by three digits.
- Fin - the number consists of letter D followed by three digits.

B Fuselage doors

The first two digits show the number of the frame forward of the door, the next two digits are the
clock position of the door within the fuselage section in which it is located :
- example : fuselage door between F.29 and 30 in the middle part of the R/H side : door 29-03.

AC
06-74 Restricted xi
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT/ ^-"-^ /VIIIxMOL T
BREGUET AVIATION^5L __A
_ Restricted

C Wing doors

The first digit locates the door in relation to the rib which precedes the door from the aircraft
centreline to the wing tip.
The last two digits indicate in which of the following areas is the door :
1 to 29 - leading edge

30 to 59 - centre wing box


60 to 90 - trailing edge.

The door numbering direction is from the wing root to the wing tip and from the leading edge to
the trailing edge.
Even numbers apply to the upper surface doors and odd numbers apply to the lower surface doors.
- example : door located between ribs 1 and 2 on the upper surface within the centre wing box :
V138.

D Fin doors. Same principle as for the wings

The odd numbers apply to the L/H side and the even numbers apply to the R/H side.

E - Stabilator doors. Same principle as for the wings.

5- DIAGRAM DRAWING RULES

There are three kinds of diagrams :


- schematic diagrams
- functional diagrams
- wiring diagrams.

A Schematic diagram. The schematic diagram is drawn in block form, showing the main component
interconnections, illustrating the functional principle of the system and the connections to the other
systems or functions.

B Functional diagram. The functional diagram represents all the units, accessories and equipment
items making up the system and their functional connections. The detailed operation of the function
can be followed on that diagram.
The functional diagrams are usually shown in inoperative condition (i.e. no pressure, no power, aircraft
on its wheels). The complex functions may be illustrated by several functional diagrams associated with
the main operating phases.
The equipment inside is represented in the form of a block or symbol. For the actual equipment
illustration it is necessary to refer to the relevant publication.
The functional diagrams show the terminals except for the relays, on/off switches, selector switches and
indicator lights.
The functional diagrams define the type of the information conveyed. Disconnections and grounding
connections are not shown unless an aircraft boundary is concerned.

(1) Test connectors on equipment. The test points are shown by the associated terminal number
which is encircled and hooked to the tested circuit. If there are several test connectors, the reference
designation of the connector to which the point belongs is written next to the test point.

(2) Aircraft test connectors. These are shown with their terminal numbers and reference designations
in the same manner as the other aircraft wiring connectors.

C Wiring diagram. The wiring diagrams form the subject of Manual 16 to which reference should be
made.

D Symbols used in the diagrams. The symbols used in the diagrams are shown in the following

8- UNITS OF MEASURE USED

The units of measure are written'as follows :

«International measuring system (IMS) units (converted values, possible complementary units)».

The converted values are given in the order : British units and US units.

Whenever converted units of measure are suspect, it is mandatory to refer to the international
measuring system (IMS) unit of measure.

In some specific cases, for which the units of measure are taken from standards, the units of
measure remain those of the IMS international system except for US Standards where the units are US
units.

In addition, characteristics specific to some equipment are given in IMS units (example : aircraft
dimensions, etc.).

REVISION OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1 - PUBLICATION DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE

This development is performed in two steps :

A Issue of supplements which are temporarily incorporated in the publications.

B Actual revision which permanently incorporates information in the publications. Such information
may be newly issued or previously published in supplements (replacement of pages or addition of new
pages).

2- REVISION TO PUBLICATIONS

A Procedure

Revision involves two operations :


-insertion of new pages and replacement of modified pages.
- systematic replacement of the title page and list of effective pages which serves as a guide to the
insertion of revised pages.

B Page numbering

First case - Addition of one or more new pages following the last page of a Sub-Section.
The pages are numbered in the normal order.

Second case - Insertion of one or more new pages between two existing pages.
The new page(s) bears the number of the preceding page followed by a capital letter, with the exception
of letters 1, 0 and Z.
The letters are chosen in every case so as to provide for maximum further insertions unless the initial
numbering sequence is changed.
The principle is illustrated in the table below :

Example :
Assuming that several pages are to be inserted in succession between pages 6 and 7. The first one
will be numbered 6M, the second one 6F if it is to be placed before 6M, or 6T if it is to be placed after
6M. Similarly, if it is necessary to insert a third page later on, its number will be 6F or 6T, 6C or 6J, 6Q
or 6W as applicable.

Assuming that the following are to be inserted simultaneously :


2 pages : they will be numbered 6H and 6R.
- 3 pages : they will be numbered 6F, 6M and 6T.

Third case - Insertion of a new page following application of an official modification. The principle
consists in showing up the two states simultaneously in the publication, i.e. post- and pre-modification.

(a) The modification can be inserted according to the principle stated above without altering the page
numbering sequence : There will be a new page which supersedes the preceding one.

(b) As a result of the insertion of both states (post- and pre-modification), if the number of pages
increases, the solution will be as follows :
both the pre- and post-modification pages will bear the same number. «MOD...X» will be shown
on top of the date on the modified page (this means modification X applied). Both pages will be shown
in the list of effective pages with.

Remark : These two pages may have different dates.

(c) Where a complete paragraph or a Section is deeply affected by a modification (most of the pages
changed), the complete paragraph which is modified will be found first and followed by the complete
paragraph which is not modified. The table of contents will list both paragraphs (or Sections).

The unmodified pages will be deleted during a further revision only when the modification has
been applied to all aircraft.

C Identification of revised text portions

The modifications to the text, insertion or deletion, are identified by a vertical line in the margin.

Those pages which are entirely changed are identified by a vertical line in the margin on a level
with the date of issue.

TRANSLATION OF REPETITIVE ABBREVIATIONS

To avoid the necessity of creating English versions of certain illustrations the translations of the
legends have been added in italic script and the standard french abbreviations have been unchanged.

Furthermore, to ensure ready reference, the same abbreviations have been used in the parts of the
text which correspond to such illustrations.

A key to the standard french abbreviations is given below :

AR («arrière») = Rear L («lisse») = Stringer


AT («attaque») = Drive Lg («longeron») = Spar
AV («avant») = Front Lgt(«longeronnet») = False spar
C («cadre») = F.rame M («médiane») = Middle
Cst («constant») = Constant N («nervure») = Rib
e («épaisseur») = Thickness R («rail») = Track

Flight controls are provided with conventional control surfaces on the three axes :

- Ailerons and spoilers (roll axis)


- Stabilators (pitch axis)
- Rudder (yaw axis).

Each control surface is actuated by a dual-barrel (tandem arrangement) servo-control driven by a


mechanical linkage.

Stabilator and rudder servo-controls can also be fed with electrical commands.

Conventional controls are completed by the following :

- High-lift devices, consisting of :


Inboard leading edge slats (which are just drooping slats) and outboard leading edge slats
-
sliding on tracks and providing a slot in extended position.
- Slotted wing flaps (fixed slot) sliding on tracks.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING ON


FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT

1- SCOPE

This sheet summarizes the necessary precautions to be taken when working on flight control
system hydraulic equipment.

2- GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Take all the necessary precautions required for working on hydraulic system (See 07-0).

3- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

A Servo-control

Servo-controls with fixed or moving barrel are adjusted in factory to the same center-to-center
distance, with very close tolerances. The length of servo-controls provided with a fixed barrel should
never be adjusted, as such servo-controls include a mechanical follow-up device connected between the
piston and the control bellcrank. Any modification of the center-to-center distance will require the
servo-control to be sent to 4 th line repair facilites for complete adjustment.

B Releasable bellcrank

Before pressurizing the hydraulic system fully or partially, it is imperative that the operator should
check that both connections between releasable bellcrank and servo-control are either both coupled or
both uncoupled (risk of damage to a releasable bellcrank lever). Severe damages will also be caused to
both components in the case where one of these two connections is uncoupled (even for a short time)
while hydraulic pressure is applied in one system. When reinstalling a releasable bellcrank, make sure to
use the bellcrank attaching pin mounting thimble so as not to damage the internal seals.

C Bleeding of stabilator releasable bellcranks

In order to use the whole capacity of the accumulator built into the electrically-operated selector
valve controlling the releasable bellcranks, it is necessary that the hydraulic lines located between two
components should be bled after complete filling of hydraulic system 1. Three bleed screws are
provided for that purpose on each releasable bellcrank.

LEAK CHECK ON FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM HYDRAULIC


EQUIPMENT

1 - SCOPE
To check that hydraulic leaks are within permissible tolerances.

2- LEAK CHECK
A Leak description

A leak on a moving component can be defined as follows : wetting over a large surface where the
amount of leaking fluid can be measured. A leak can be expressed in drops.

NOTE : It is normal for a moving component to show a surface wet from leaking fluid, the amount
of which cannot be measured (drop).

B - External leak static check with or without pressure applied


(1 ) On jacks and servo-controls provided with dynamic seals :

- A slight wetting should be considered as normal. In the case where a leak is noticed, do not wipe
the jack at leaking point but proceed as follows :

(a) Place a white paper sheet under suspected point and watch the jack for 15 minutes. Five drops
only are allowed during that lapse of time, otherwise change the component.

(b) In the case where less than 5 drops are noticed, and in the case doubts persist, it is recommended
to perform the leak dynamic check.
(2) On other components not provided with dynamic seals :

Seepage is generally tolerated provided that no drop forms in less than 30 minutes (hydraulic
system pressurized or not).

(3) On couplings :

- No seepage is permitted.

C External leak dynamic check

This operation is to be performed if the results of the static check are not satisfactory.

(1 ) Preparation

Wipe the jack (never use compressed air for this purpose).
-
white paper sheet under the jack.
- Place a
- Do not wipe the jack again during following operations.
- Apply pressure to the system.
- Operate the servo-control at least 10 times (complete cycle : retraction + extension) so as to
steady the leak.

NOTE : The leak flow may vary during the first cycles, depending on the time during which the
servo-control has remained inoperative.

TORQUE TO BE APPLIED TO LOCKNUTS ON FLIGHT CONTROL CONNECTING


RODS - PROCEDURE FOR ADJUSTING RODS
(See figures 3-4-5-6)

1 - SCOPE
To indicate tightening torques and to sum up the rod adjustment procedure.
2 - TIGHTENING TORQUE TO BE APPLIED TO ROD LOCKNUTS
Enclosed illustrations indicate the torque(s) to be applied to the locknut of end fittings on
each rod.
3 - ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
A - Procedure
(1 ) Preliminary steps
-The screwing of an end fitting into the rod body should be accomplished freely "by
hand" as for screwing of the locknut onto the end fitting.
-Upon replacement of a rod component, the threads of all dissimilar metal assemblies are
to be coated with faying surface compound (Mastinox 6856H).
(2) Non-micrometric adjustable rod
-Length adjustment should provide for unstressed fitting of junction pins to rods or adja¬
cent bellcranks. When screwing or unscrewing end fittings, observe:
-the relative positioning of end fittings
-the minimal length of threads to be engaged in the rod body. When observed in a
plane perpendicular to the axis, the maximum unscrewing mark (circular recess or colored sec¬
tion on the end fitting threads) should not be visible when the retainer and locknut are fitted.
-When adjusting length, fully take up the play of end fitting threads by applying an ap¬
propriate torque to the locknut. After removing the rod, use appropriate tools permitting to ex¬
actly reproduce the center-to-center dimensions and direction of the end fittings, so as to be
sure that these two characteristics are not altered by application of the recommended torque.

(3) Micrometric adjustable rod


-The procedure described above is applicable as a whole. A micrometric rod is fitted with
a RH thread end fitting and a LH thread end fitting. The components provided with a LH
thread are identified as follows:
-end of rod body (LH thread): very shallow circular recess; on the hexagons or
squares this recess is located on the edges only,
-end fitting or clevis (LH thread): circular recess coated with red paint at the start of
the threads or a groove on the four edges after the end fitting shank.
(4) Non-adjustable rod with fixed end fittings
NO OPERATION SHALL BE PERFORMED ON THESE RODS.
B - Tightening of locknut on end fitting or clevis
-This operation is to be performed with ROD REMOVED and placed on a bench, observ¬
ing the following:
-adjustment as previously described
-direction of end fittings
-correct positioning of locking device.
-Tightening the locknuts without removing the rod is permitted in order to prevent major
preliminary disassemblies; it is however required to have a clear access to the nut and be able
to keep the end fitting properly directed with a fork during torque tightening.
WHEN TIGHTENING A LOCKNUT, NEVER SECURE THE ROD BODY BY ITS OTHER
END.

(1 ) Lockwasher with bosses


\ Keep bosses of lockwasher in the rod body slots,
tighten the locknut to the specified torque while
maintaining the rod end fittings aligned, then
>
bend the lockwasher tabs over one or two flats of
/ the locknut.
(2) Tab washer
Without inner tab engaging in the thread slot;
tighten the locknut moderately (seating), then
bend two lockwasher tabs over one or two flats
of the rod body.
Tighten the locknut to the specified torque
while maintaining the rod end fittings aligned,
then bend the other two lockwasher tabs over
one or two flats of the locknut.
With inner tab; the lug engages in the clevis
thread slot and must be directed toward the rod
body. Tighten the locknut moderately (seating),
Maximum unscrewing mark then bend two lockwasher tabs over one or two
flats of the rod body. This procedure prevents
misadjustment of the rod and misalignment of
the end fittings, the end fitting having a
tendency to be driven by the locknut.
In addition, shearing of the inner tab may
result from the lockwasher being driven in
rotation.
Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque while maintaining the end fittings
aligned, then bend the other two lockwasher
(3) Radially serrated lockwasher tabs over one or two flats of the locknut.

The nut side section of this lockwasher has


an inner tab which engages in the slot of the
rod end fitting.
The rod body side section is engaged in the
rod slots and has a drilled tab for safetying
the locknut with lockwire.
Before tightening the locknut, make sure that
the serrations are CORRECTLY engaged.
NOTE: This titanium alloy lockwasher
must not be cleaned with chlorinated products.

(4) Application of indicated tightening torque (see para. 2)


-Check for possible modification of initial adjustment,
-safety the locknuts (bend the lockwasher or wirelock).
Upon completion of all these safetying operations, use a 0.04 mm feeler gage so as to
make sure that there is no clearance at the lockwasher tab bearing surfaces (end fitting against
lockwasher and lockwasher against locknut). Apply a line of white paint to the lockwasher in
order to make safetying visible for later visual inspections.
NOTE: During installation on A/C, the last operation should be the connection of hinges in¬
cluding sealed ball-joint bearings so as to prevent swivelling from exceeding ± 6° dur¬
ing positioning.

ROLL CONTROL SYSTEM - PRINCIPLE

(Figure 1)

The roll control system can be operated :


- either manually, by means of control stick
- or automatically, by means of autopilot through flying aids (See 13-1 and 13-2).

NOTE : Roll damping function is effected by both stabilators.

The manual or automatic command is transmitted by an auxiliary servo-control inserted in the


linkage, close to control stick. This auxiliary servo-control is intended to :
- provide the force required to overcome linkage frictions and inertia.
- act as an actuating jack to the autopilot.

Power servo-controls are provided at the other end of system to actuate both ailerons and both
spoilers.

Roll trim function is effected through deflection of both ailerons, the spoilers being not used.

A trim actuator is inserted upstream of each aileron servo-control.

The installation also includes :


- An artificial feel unit (A.F.U.) connected in parallel with the linkage between the control stick
and the auxiliary servo-control.
-Spoiler spring boxes (one for each spoiler), intended to take up the linkage slack in the case
where the corresponding aileron is being deflected downwards.
- Aileron spring boxes (one upstream of each aileron servo-control) intended to :
- allow spoiler deflection, in the case where operating threshold is reached on these
servo-controls.
- prevent excessive load from being applied to the linkage, in the case of aileron «suction».

Failures and safety systems

Should roll channel electrical control circuits happen to fail, the various safety systems will
automatically change over to direct mechanical control (control stick).

Should the hydraulic power generation system happen to fail :

1 In hydraulic system 1 :
Autopilot no longer available
-
- Half of spoiler servo-control nominal force available only. Aileron servo-controls supplied
through system 2.

2 In hydraulic system 2 :
Autopilot available but half of spoiler servo-control nominal force available only. Aileron
-
servo-controls supplied through system 1.

ROLL LINKAGE

(Figure 3)

The roll linkage is of the rigid type (pushing and pulling movements).

It is actuated by control stick 1. Control stick travel is limited on either side of aircraft centerline
by means of two stops. A pressure seal lever is used to provide sealing at cockpit outlet in a lateral
structural box.

The following is fitted to the roll linkage :

- In parallel : Artificial feel unit 3, coupled to a bellcrank.


- In series : Auxiliary servocontrol 79C.
- On auxiliary servo-control output bellcrank : Triple position pickoff 80C.

Then, the linkage is routed vertically up to the junction Vee of both air intake ducts.

A rocker and bellcrank system is used at fuselage upper part to separate the roll linkage in two
linkages (L/H and R/H) which are then directed to the wings.

Each linkage is run through the integral fuel tank located aft of false spar 4 through a slide rod 9
placed inside a sealed tube. A bellcrank with two outputs then connects the linkage to the following :

1 Spoiler control linkage, consisting of :

- Spring box 7
- Bellcrank 20, fitted with stop 21 intended to limit the stress applied to the servo-control slide
valve and prevent the latter from being damaged.
- Spoiler servo-control 8.
- Inboard and outboard spoiler driving system, consisting of rods and five control bellcranks
intended to actuate the spoiler assembly.

2 Aileron control linkage, consisting of :

- Trim actuator 94C or 95C


- Spring box 10
- Aileron servo-control 1 1
- Aileron control rod and bellcrank.

OPERATION OF ROLL CHANNEL

Two control modes are available :


- manual control
- electrical control, selected when autopilot is being engaged.

NOTE : Roll damping is ensured by the pitch channel.

1 - MANUAL CONTROL

Manual control is effected by actuating control stick 1 laterally. The command is transmitted
mechanically to the distributing slide valves of auxiliary servo-control 79C. Electrically-operated
selector valve 53C is open and allows system 1 pressure to be supplied to barrel 1 of auxiliary
servo-control 79C. Dual supply valve 96C prevents system 2 pressure from being supplied to barrel 2 of
auxiliary servo-control 79C.

A - Auxiliary servo-control 79C (Figure 5)

Barrel 1 . Solenoid valve 22 is closed and causes the following :

- pilot's control 23 becomes free


- control arm of slide valve 24 becomes locked onto pilot's control 23 through locks 25.

The servo-control is directly controlled by the linkage which drives control slide valve 24. By-pass
valve 26 allows the pressure to be directed to chamber A or B. Slide valve 24 directs the pressure to
power stage chamber A or B and causes the servo-control body to move.

Barrel 2 : As already said above, this barrel is not pressurized. By-pass valve 27 interconnects
power stage chambers.
The moving servo-control drives the roll linkage which acts simultaneously on the distributing slide
valves of aileron and spoiler servo-controls 1 1 and 8.

B Aileron servo-control (Figure 7)

- It is supplied from system 2, dual supply valve 96C causing system 1 to be shut off. As no
pressure is applied to barrel 1, by-pass valve 28 causes power stage chambers A and B to become
interconnected.
- The pilot's command conveyed by the linkage causes control slide valve 30 to move, therefore
entailing servo-control movement.

C Spoiler servo-control (Figure 8)


- Its operation is similar to that of the aileron servo-control but it is supplied simultaneously from
systems 1 (or emergency) and 2.

2 - ELECTRICAL CONTROL WITH AUTOPI LOT


This mode of operation is only used when the autopilot is being engaged. Only barrel 1 of
auxiliary servo-control 79C is supplied while barrel 2 of aileron servo-controls 11 and both barrels of
spoiler servo-controls are supplied.
- Electrically-operated selector valve 53C is open and allows system 1 pressure to be supplied to

servo-control barrel 1.
- Dual supply valve 96C, which is slaved to system 1 pressure, causes system 2 to be shut off.

A Auxiliary servo-control (Figure 6)

Barrel 1 : Autopilot engagement causes solenoid valve 22 to open and cause the following :

-Control arm of main slide valve 24 becomes free.


-Pilot's control 23 becomes locked onto servo-control body through both locks 25.
- Servo slide valve 24 is supplied with hydraulic pressure.
- The commands generated by the autopilot and passing through the flying aid rack (See 13-2) are
transmitted to servo-control torque motor 31 which causes servo slide valve 32 and control slide
valve 24 to move. Control slide valve 24 complies with servo commands and allows pressure to be
directed to power stage chamber A or B, therefore causing the servo-control body to move.

The downs tream linkage and control stick then follows the servo-control movement.

Barrel 2 : This barrel is not pressurized. By-pass valve 27 interconnects power stage chambers.

B Aileron and spoiler servo-controls 1 1 and 8

They operate in the same manner as in manual control mode (See 1-B).

C Change-over from automatic mode to manual mode

Change-over from automatic mode to manual mode can be due :

- either to momentary disconnection or voluntary switching off of autopilot performed by the


pilot.
- or to the operation of one or several safety systems in the case of failure of hydraulic systems or
electronic circuits.

As soon as the autopilot is disengaged, solenoid valve 22 closes, causing the bellcrank of
servo-control 79C to become locked and the hydraulic supply to the servo slide valve to be shut off.
Main distributing slide valve 24 is controlled mechanically by the control stick.

(1) It is also possible to cause autopilot disengagement by actuating the control stick so as to operate
one of the safety microswitches controlled by the bellcrank of servo-control 79C.

3- ROLL TRIM SYSTEM (Figure 9)

The aerodynamical balance of an aircraft varies in accordance with airspeed and flight
configuration (underwing stores, etc.).

The pilot is relieved of constant actuation of controls to maintain the aircraft in balanced flight
thanks to the trim actuators which provide 2 means of changing the length of a linkage. The pilot can
then change the position of the control surfaces to obtain neutral setting of the corresponding artificial
feel unit.

The roll trim system acts on the ailerons only. Each trim actuator 94C or 95C is inserted in series
in each aileron linkage, downstream of spoiler control connection. These actuators are
electro-mechanical devices converting the rotary movement of an electric motor into the longitudinal
movement of a rod. They operate simultaneously and one actuator extends its rod while the other
retracts it, and inversely.

A Roll trim control

The trim system is controlled either manually or automatically. It should be said that both
actuators are independent of each other although they operate simultaneously. A device is provided to
synchronize their mid-travel settings, in order to prevent progressive offsettings due to small speed
differences to take place.

(1) Operation in manual control mode

Trim actuators 94C and 95C are controlled from a control switch located on control stick
handgrip, which control switch actuates «R/H-L/H» plunger 92C.

«Manual-auto» relay 93C, which is not energized, directs the power supply voltage to the actuators
through trim synchronizing relays 1 1 6C and 1 1 7C.

(2) Operation in automatic control mode

Trimming is effected by the flying aids when the autopilot is engaged (See 13-1-13-2).

(a) Principle

With autopilot engaged, roll commands are fed to auxiliary servo-control 79C, causing the latter to
move and to drive both aileron and spoiler linkages.

However, aircraft flight characteristics are affected by permanently deflected spoilers (additional
drag). It can be also said that any auxiliary servo-control movement causes a load to be applied by the
A.F.U. to pilot's linkage, which load varies in accordance with control stick displacement. The load
applied by the A.F.U. the moment the auxiliary servo-control bellcrank becomes unlocked with respect
to servo-control body in the case of autopilot uncoupling (see operation of roll channel) would cause
I the distributing slide valve to open fully and suddenly, causing the aircraft to roll suddenly.

Pickoff 80C, located downstream of servo-control 79C, is used by the flying aids to detect the
position of the roll linkage (and therefore of the spoilers) in order to retract the spoilers and return the
A.F.U. to its zero load setting. The flying aids then generate the commands intended for trim actuators,
so as to obtain lateral balance through the ailerons alone.

The following takes place during operation of trim actuators (operating at a very low speed
corresponding to an aileron deflection of about 5° per minute) :

- Additional deflection of ailerons in the same direction as that obtained through the initial
movement of auxiliary servo-control 79C.
- Progressive modification of autopilot command, resulting from above deflection and intented to
maintain aircraft balance about roll axis.

This causes auxiliary servo-control 79C to :

- slowly resume its initial position (mid-travel position approximately)


- cause spoiler retraction
- move the control stick to the position corresponding to A.F.U. zero load setting.

The trim actuators stop operating when the output voltage of position pickoff 80C is lower than
selected threshold value.

(b) Operation

Autopilot engagement causes a signal to be fed by the flying aid rack to relay 93C through
amplifier 48C, which relay 93C causes control circuits to be switched from manual mode to automatic
mode.

The control signals generated by the flying aid rack operate relay 151C or 152C, depending on
whether L/H or R/H trimming is required for spoiler retraction.

BREGUET AVIATION __
MIRAGE F

(3) Synchronizing device

(a) Principle

This device is controlled by mid-travel position microswitch 33 provided on each actuator. Each
microswitch 33 controls the energization of relay 1 16C or 1 17C thi purpose of which is to cut off the
power supply to the first actuator reaching its mid-travel position, such a power supply being restored
through the other relay only when the second actuator also reaches its mid-travel position. These two
microswitches are provided with two positions allowing mid-travel position synchronizing to be
obtained in both extending and retracting directions.

(b) Operation

Let us assume that L/H actuator 95C is in «rod retracted» position while R/H actuator 94C is in
«rod extended» position. The relays controlled by micro-switches 33 are energized.

The trim system is energized for L/H trimming. The rod of L/H actuator 95C extends and is
supplied through relay 1 17C. R/H actuator 94C is supplied through relay 1 16C and its rod retracts.

If, for instance, actuator 95C moves faster than actuator 94C, relay 117C is de-energized the
moment actuator 95C reaches its mid-travel position, therefore causing the latter to stop moving.
Actuator 94C is then supplied in parallel through both relays.

When actuator 94C reaches its mid-travel position, relay 1 16G is de-energized and the following
configuration is obtained :

- Actuator 94C is supplied through relay 117C alone


- Actuator 95C is supplied through relay 1 16C alone.

Actuator 95C starts moving again since both actuators are synchronized. Actuators will then
operate simultaneously until control signal disappears or until power supply to electric motors is cut off
through the action of each actuator limit switch.

B Automatic trim safety device


Position pickoff 80C includes two potentiometers : one for the control circuit and the other for
safety circuits. Should the output voltage of this second potentiometer be higher than a pre-determined
threshold value, a safety device contained in flying aid amplifier box 48C causes the «TRIM» failure
warning light to come on in the cockpit.

C Roll trim indicating

Roll trim indications are provided on trim indicator 82C. This indicator, which is common to the
three trim control systems (yaw, roll and pitch) provides actuator position indications.

The information is fed by the potentiometers built into actuators 94C and 95C.

Trim indication is provided as fo'lows :

- Indicator bar tilted to the left : L/H trimming


- Indicator bar in horizontal position : Trim in neutral position
- Indicator bar tilted to the right : R/H trimming.

4- CASES OF FAILURE

A - Manual operation

(1 ) Failure of system 1 and emergency system

Barrel 2 of auxiliary servo-control 79C is supplied by dual supply valve 96C subjected to system 2
pressure.

(a) Auxiliary servo-control 79C (Figure 10)

Barrel 1 : By-pass valve 26 interconnects both power stage chambers under the action of its spring.

Barrel 2 : By-pass valve 27 allows pressure to be directed to chamber A or B. As before, the


servo-control is controlled by the linkage which drives control slide valve 24. The latter directs the
pressure to power stage chamber A or B, causing the servo-control body to move. The servo-control
body drives the roll linkage which then acts simultaneously on the distributing slide valves of aileron
and spoiler servo-controls 1 1 and 8.

(b) Aileron servo-control (Figure 1 1 )

Barrel 1 being not supplied (dual supply valve), operation remains unchanged.

(c) Spoiler servo-control (Figure 8)

As no pressure is applied to barrel 1 , by-pass valve 29 interconnects power stage chambers. Barrel 2
is driven by the linkage and operates normally.

NOTE : Only 50 % of spoiler servo-control nominal force is available.

(2) Failure of system 2

(a) Such a failure does not affect auxiliary servo-control 79C which operates normally on system 1 .

(b) Under the action exerted by system 1 pressure, dual supply valve 12 allows aileron servo-control
barrel 1 to be supplied. By-pass valve 29 interconnects barrel 2 power stage chambers.
Pushed back by the pressure, by-pass valve 28 causes barrel 1 chamber interconnection to be
suppressed.

(c) Only 50 % of spoiler servo-control nominal force is available.

B Automatic operation (autopilot engaged)

(1 ) Failure of system 1 and emergency system

In the case where system 1 and emergency system fail when autopilot is engaged, auxiliary
servo-control 79C is automatically supplied with system 2 pressure through dual supply valve 96C
which causes the autopilot to be simultaneously uncoupled. The system then operates in manual mode
with 50 % of spoiler servo-control nominal force available. Full aileron servo-control nominal force is
available.

(2) Failure of system 2

Such a failure does not affect auxiliary servo-control 79C which continues to operate in electrical
mode on system 1 . As in the above case, only 50 % of spoiler servo-control nominal force is available.
Full aileron servo-control nominal force is available.

(3) Failure of electrical power generation

The system operates in manual mode.

(4) Autopilot emergency uncoupling

Electrically-operated selector valve 53C is closed by pilot's action on switch 52C1. This causes
hydraulic supply to barrel 1 of auxiliary servo-control 79C to be shut off, therefore causing the
auxiliary servo-control to operate on system 2 (supplying barrel 2 which is then directly controlled
from the control stick). Autopilot uncoupling takes place the moment hydraulic supply is changed from

E Arm 5

Screwed onto base 4, it includes the following :


Bellcrank accommodating the stop screw
Bearing cage 9 (pitch control swivelling)
- Pitch bellcrank 8.

F - Roll control fork 6

Roll control linkage output is obtained through a bearing cage 12 transmitting control movements
and absorbing control stick rotation.

3- OPERATION

A Pitch control

The control stick assembly swivels about the axis of arm 5 driving bellcrank 8 which actuates the
pitch linkage. Travel is limited by the adjustable stop screw fitted to the stop bellcrank. The adjustable
screw comes into contact with the fixed stop (forward travel) and with the adjustable stop screw (aft
travel). These two stops are mounted on a support integral with aircraft structure.

B - Roll control

The movement of handgrip 2 drives rod 11 through bellcrank 10. Rod 11 actuates bellcrank 13
which transmits its movement to roll output fork 6. Travel is limited by the adjustable stop screws
placed laterally at control stick body lower, part. Forward and aft control stick movements (pitch
control) have no action on fork 6, relative rotation between link-rod and fork 6 being ensured by the
bearings of cage 12.

4- INSTALLATION IN AIRCRAFT

The control stick is located in the cockpit, between frames 5 and 7. It is attached through ball
bearing cages 7 and 9 screwed onto cockpit floor vertical webs.

ROLL ARTIFICIAL FEEL UNIT

(Figure 13)

1 - GENERAL

The A.F.U. is a spring system the rod displacement of which provides a force varying in
accordance with such a displacement.

Inserted in a channel including servo-controls, it allows a progressive artificial feel varying in


accordance with control stick displacement to be applied to pilot's -linkage.

2- DESCRIPTION

The roll A.F.U. consists of :

- Cylinder 1

- Rod 2
- Two stops 3 and 4
- Two end springs 5 and center springs 6
- Sleeve 7
- Adjusting guide 8
- Two attachment clevises 9 and 10

A- Cylinder 1

One end of cylinder 1 is blanked off by one of the attachment clevises while the other end is
blankedoff by adjusting guide. Cylinder 1 contains the A.F.U. constituent items.

B- Rod 2

It slides in the cylinder and its displacement in either direction drives stops 3 and 4, therefore
causing the springs to be compressed.

C- Stops 3 and 4

Each stop acts as a seat to two of the three springs.


Each stop bore houses two teflon rings 18 intended to reduce frictions between stops and rod.

D Springs 5 and 6

Spring bearing points are as follows :

- Center spring : between both stops 3 and 4


- End spring on cylinder side : between cylinder bottom and stop 4
- End spring on rod side : between adjusting guide 8 and stop 3.

E - Sleeve 7

Screwed onto the rod, it provides for the adjustment of center spring initial setting during
assembly.

F Adjusting guide 8
Screwed into the cylinder, it provides for the adjustment of both end spring initial setting.
Its bore houses teflon ring 19.
It is secured against motion in cylinder 1 by means of nut 12.
G Attachment clevises 9 and 10

Clevis 10, which is screwed onto the cylinder, is made integral with the latter through nut 11. It is
| used to adjust the A.F.U. to length in the aircraft.
Clevis 9 is screwed to the external ena ot rod 3 and is secured against motion by means of
lockplate 13.
Each clevis is provided with pin 14, washer 15, nut 16 and locking pin 17.

3- OPERATION

A Rod retraction (A.F.U. shortening) causes the representative point on the force versus travel chart
to move along broken line OABC.

(1) Point 0
The center spring is compressed between both stops respectively bearing agains rod shoulder and
sleeve. The rod is in balanced configuration under the antagonistic action of both end springs.

(2) Segment OA
The spring located on cylinder bottom side becomes compressed. The center spring, due to its
higher initial load, remains set to the same length. The spring located on rod side extends.

Within that range, only the end springs are operating.


(3) Point A
The spring located on cylinder bottom side is partially compressed. The center spring remains still
set to its initial length. The spring located on rod side extends exactly up to its free length dimension.

(4) Segment AB
The spring located on cylinder bottom side becomes compressed. The center spring remains still
set to its initial length. The spring located on rod side which has reached its free length dimension
remains inoperative.
Within that range, only the spring located on cylinder bottom side is operating.
(5) Point B
The load applied by the spring located on cylinder bottom side exactly reaches the center spring
initial setting value.

(6) Segment BC
The load applied by the spring located on cylinder bottom side is higher than center spring initial
setting value. The center spring becomes compressed and stop 4, which acts as a common seat to both
springs, leaves its bearing point and moves along the rod.
Within that range, only the center spring and the spring located on cylinder bottom side are
operating.

B Rod extension (A.F.U. lengthening) causes the representative point on the force versus travel chart
to move along broken line OA'B'C. The springs operate in a symmetrical way with respect to rod
retraction sequence described above.

CALIBRATION CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT OF ROLL AFU


(Figure 13)

1 - SCOPE
-To perform AFU calibration check in the case where artificial feel loads are found to be
out of tolerance in aircraft.
-To perform AFU adjustment after complete disassembly performed for servicing and lu¬
brication.

2 - EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A - Special tools
-Flight control 2nd line tool kit.
B - Standard tools
-Torque wrench kit : 0 to 3 m.daN (0 to 20 ft.lb).
-Torque wrench accessory kit : 0 to 3 m.daN (0 to 20 ft.lb).
C - Ground support equipment
-Mechanical test stand MKM043.

3 - AFU TESTS
A - Installation of AFU on test stand
-Mechanical test stand MKM043 should be previously fitted with all adaptors provided
for AFU installation (See mechanical test stand technical handbook).
-Using the attaching pins belonging to test stand :
-pin clevis 9 to balance beam,
-pin clevis 10 to moving poppet.
-Rotate moving poppet control wheel so as to set the balance beam in horizontal position
(pointer set to zero). The AFU is then set to neutral (no load applied); make sure that the bal¬
ance beam pinning position corresponds to the pointer zero position.

NOTE 1 : The ratio available with balance scales hooked to beam ends is 1/10 and the corre¬
spondence between the weight placed on one scale and the load applied to the AFU
rod is as follows:

Weight (kg) : 1 .02 x load (daN) Xj-

Weight (lb) : 1 .02 x load (Ib.wgt) x-^


NOTE 2 : In order to prevent measurements from bring affected by AFU internal frictions, the
balance beam should always be sqet in horizontal position (pointer set to zero) in
the direction causing the scale on which weights are placed (or to be placed during
next test) to move upwards.
CAUTION:
rnS" IMPERATIVE THAT
THE BALANCE BEAM SHOULD BE PINNED BEFORE PLAC¬
ING WEIGHTS ON A SCALE OR BEFORE REMOVING THEM, THIS IN ORDER TO
PROTECT COMPONENTS (CLEVISES) FROM DAMAGES DUE TO LARGE ANGULAR
MOVEMENTS.
BALANCE AND COMPONENT FORCES ARE EQUALIZED AFTER WEIGHTS ARE EI¬
THER PLACED OR REMOVED BY SLOWLY ACTUATING THE MOVING POPPET CON¬
TROL WHEEL UNTIL THE PIN CAN BE EASILY REMOVED FROM THE BALANCE
BEAM.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Special tools

- Flight control 2nd line tool kit.

B - Standard tools

- Torque wrench kit : 2 to 20 m.daN (1 5 to 1 50 ft.lb)

C Ground support equipment

- Mechanical test stand MK M043.

3- PROCEDURE

A Installation of sprinq box on test stand

- Mechanical test stand MK M043 should be previously fitted with all adaptors provided for sprinq
box installation (See mechanical test stand technical handbook). Using the attaching pin belonging to
test stand, pin clevis 7 to balance beam and screw plug 6 onto movinq poppet.
- Rotate moving poppet control wheel so as to set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer
set to zero). The spring box is then set to neutral (zero load applied).

NOTE : The ratio available with balance scales hooked to beam ends is 10/1. The correspondence
between the weight placed on one scale and the load applied to the spring box rod is as
follows :

Weiqht (kg) = 1.02 x load (daN) x 0.1

CAUTION :
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BALANCE BEAM SHOULD BE PINNED BEFORE PLACING
WEIGHTS ON A SCALE OR BEFORE REMOVING THEM. THIS IN ORDER TO PROTECT
COMPONENTS (CLEVIS, END-FITTING, ETC..) FROM DAMAGES DUE TO LARGE
ANGULAR MOVEMENTS.
BALANCE AND COMPONENT FORCES ARE EQUALIZED AFTER WEIGHTS ARE EITHER
PLACED OR REMOVED BY ACTUATING THE MOVING POPPET CONTROL WHEEL UNTIL
THE PIN CAN BE EASILY REMOVED FROM THE BALANCE BEAM.

B Threshold check
- Place a dial indicator provided with a magnetic stand on the test boom, with dial indicator feeler
in contact with the bellcrank to which end fitting 7 is pinned.
- Set the dial indicator to zero (approximately to middle point of its whole range).
-Place on one scale a weight corresponding to minimum threshold value, i.e. 26.4 daN
(59.34 Ib.wgt). The dial indicator pointer deflects slowly, but such a deflection is not to be taken into
account, as it is due to internal component settling.
- Continue loading with weights of decreasing value until the dial indicator pointer moves signi¬
ficantly.
- The threshold should be reached with a load of 26.4 to 32.4 daN (59.3 to 72.8 Ib.wgt) applied to
the rod.
- Pin the balance beam and remove weights.
- Perform the same check by placing weights on the other scale.

C Check of travel, loads and frictions


Remove weights from the scale and set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer set to
zero) without applying any load to the spring box. Using a depth gauge, measure dimension «A»
between depth gauge bearing face and body external face. Then pin the balance beam.

(1 ) Place on one scale a weight provoking a load of 37 daN (83.1 Ib.wgt) on the rod.
Modification 682 not incorporated :
-38 daN (85.4 Ib.wgt)
Rotate the poppet wheel to equalize forces and unpin the beam.
With the beam in horizontal position (pointer set to zero), slightly move one side of the balance
beam to obtain a slight rod displacement, then slowly bring the pointer back to zero by rotating the
poppet wheel. -Measure dimension «B» between depth gauge bearing face and spring box body.
Slightly move the other side of the balance beam to also obtain a slight rod displacement and then
reset the pointer to zero by means of the poppet wheel. Measure the corresponding dimension «C» and
pin the beam.
The «B-A» and «C-A» values should be comprised between 12 and 37 mm (0.48 and 1.48 in).
Modification 682 not incorporated :
-between 15 and 40 mm (0.59 and 1..b7 in).
(2) Perform the same tests by placing the weights on the other scale. The results must be within the
same tolerances.

(3) After each test and with the balance beam pinned, check that the spring box rod travel is equal
to 42 mm (1 .65 in) in extension and 39.5 mm (1 .58 in) in retraction.
Modification 682 not incorporated :
-42 mm (1 .65 in) in retraction or extension.
D Test results
Should a play be found between body and rod with no load applied, screw or unscrew plug 6 with
respect to the body to eliminate this play.
Should the threshold or travel value be out of tolerance, replace the defective spring.

4- FINAL STEPS
Remove the spring box from the test unit.
-
Safety nut 10 and plug 6 (see figure) with lockwire. Install nut
- 11 and lockwasher 12 on the end
of plug 6, then screw on nut 1 1 without tightening.
Check the whole spring box for :
-general condition and condition of protections,
-proper locking of parts.

CALIBRATION CHECK OF SPOILER SPRING BOX


(Figure 14)

1 - SCOPE
To perform spring box calibration check either in the case where loads are found to be out of
tolerance in aircraft, or in the case where the spring box has been completely disassembled for servicing
and lubrication.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Special tools

- Flight control 2nd line tool kit

B Standard tools

- Torque wrench kit : 2 to 20 m.daN (15 to 150 ft.lb)

C Ground support equipment

- Mechanical test stand MK M043

D Spares

- Lockwire 23320 AC080Z.


3- PROCEDURE

A Installation of spring box on test stand

- Mechanical test stand MK M043 should be previously fitted with all adaptors provided for spring
box installation (See mechanical test stand technical handbook). Using the attaching pins belonging to
test stand, pin clevis 8 to balance beam and clevis 9 to moving poppet.
- Rotate moving poppet control wheel so as to set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer
set to zero). The spring box is then set to neutral (zero load applied).

NOTE : The ratio available with balance scales hooked to beam ends is 10/1. The correspondence
between the weight placed on one scale and the load applied to the spring box rod is as

B Threshold check

- Place a dial indicator provided with a magnetic stand on the test boom, with dial indicator feeler
placed in contact with the bellcrank to which clevis 8 is pinned.
- Set dial indicator to zero (approximately to middle point of its whole range).
- Place on one scale a weight corresponding to minimum threshold value, i.e. 13,5 daN
(30.34 Ib.wgt). The dial indicator pointer deflects slightly but such a deflection is not to be taken into
account as it is due to internal component settling.
- Continue to place weights of decreasing value until dial indicator pointer moves sharply.
Threshold should be obtained with a load of 13,5 to 16,5 daN (30.34 to 37.09 Ib.wgt) applied to
the rod.
- Pin the balance beam and remove weights.
- Perform the same check by placing weights on the other scale.

C Check of travel, loads and frictions

Remove weights from the scale and set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer set to
zero) without applying any load to the spring box.
Using a depth gauge, measure dimension A comprised between depth gauge bearing face and body
external face. Then, pin the balance beam.
(1) Place on one scale a weight likely to exert a force of 25 daN (56.2 Ib.wgt) on the rod. Rotate the
moving poppet control wheel to equalize forces and then unpin the beam.
With the beam in horizontal position (pointer set to zero), slightly act on one side of balance beam
to obtain small rod displacement and then slowly bring the pointer back to zero by rotating the moving
poppet control wheel. Measure dimension B between depth gauge bearing face and spring box body.
Slightly act on the other side of balance beam to also obtain small rod displacement and then reset
the pointer to zero by means of moving poppet control wheel. Measure corresponding dimension C and
pin the balance beam.
The «B-A» and «C-A» values should be comprised between 24 and 41 mm (0.94 and 1.61 in).
(2) Perform the same tests by placing the weight on the other scale. The values obtained should be
comprised within same tolerances.
(3) After each test and with balance beam pinned, check that spring box rod travel is equal to 46 mm
(1.81 in) in both «rod extension» and «rod retraction» directions.

D Test results

Should a play be noticed between body and rod with no load applied, screw or unscrew end-fitting
7 with respect to the body to cancel that play.
Should threshold or travel value be found out of tolerance, replace defective spring(s).

4- FINAL STEPS
Remove the spring box from test stand and grip it in vice support MFG 228-21.
-
Tighten nut 10 to a torque of 3 m.daN (22.1 ft.lb) (wrench MHC 228-22). Check that no end
-
play between body and rod exists after tightening.
- Check that spring box center-to-center distance is equal to that measured before disassembly.
Otherwise, unlock and untighten nut 11 (wrench MHC 228-21), screw or unscrew clevis 9 and tighten
nut 11 to a torque of 2 m.daN (14.7 ft.lb) by means of the same wrench, while making sure that
evacuation holes respectively provided on body and clevis are aligned to ± 10° and directed downwards.

ADJUSTMENT OF ROLL CONTROL SYSTEM


(figures 20 and 21)

1 - SCOPE

To provide instructions for complete adjustment of the control system concerned.

2- GENERAL

The flight control linkage is adjusted in factory using manufacturing tools (such as dummy
servo-controls, micrometric rods, dummy components, ect.) allowing basic linkage adjustment to be
determined and therefore providing for the interchangeability of certain system components).

CONSEQUENTLY, NO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OPERATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT


ON LINKAGE EXCEPT AS REGARDS NORMAL OPERATIONS MENTIONED IN THE DOCU¬
MENTATION AND WHICH CAN BE CARRIED OUT WITH NO RISK OF ALTERING THE INITIAL
ADJUSTMENT. If operations necessitating disassembly of components are to be carried out on the
linkage (structural repair for instance), it is IMPERATIVE that the length and setting of the various
components be marked with accuracy before disassembly, or that the manufacturing tools be used at
reassembly so as to restore the initial adjustment.

SHOULD A CONTROL BE FOUND OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, DO NOT ALTER THE EXISTING


ADJUSTMENT AS LONG AS THE CAUSE OF MISADJUSTMENT IS NOT POSITIVELY
DETERMINED.

The following particular rules should be known and complied with each time operations are
being carried out on the system :
- apply the correct tightening torques to the various connecting components (pins - rods) ; rods
should be torqued on a bench ;
- use thimbles for mounting the pins, in order to prevent the bores from being damaged ; lightly
lubricate the pins upon installation ;
- install the pins in the proper direction and orient the rods correctly ;
- install a teflon washer (anti-friction) or an anti-swiveling cup at the specified connections ;
- lock the assembled components (locking pins : lockwires - lockplates) following the applicable
instructions ;
- upon completion of adjustments, make sure that the linkages operate freely, with no unwanted
abutment.

COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING :


- safety measures to be taken for personnel protection (see 01-0),
- instructions to be followed when working on systems (see 01-0)
general instructions for starting and operating the various aircraft systems (see 01-0),
- instructions for using ground support equipment (see 01-0).

pin MS 1390-10-810).
- Install the control stick deflection measuring quadrant (see figure 23).

IMPORTANT NOTE :
MAKE SURE THAT THE POSITION PICKOFF IS NOT CONNECTED.

5- ADJUSTMENT OF ROLL LINKAGE


A Adjustment of power servo-control
- Check that the pitch linkage is pinned at bellcrank 1 located upstream of the auxiliary servo¬
control, with aileron and spoiler deflection templates installed.
-Pin the roll linkage at bellcrank 1 located upstream of the auxiliary servo-control ; the bellcrank
should be free of play (use one of the three pins MS 1390-20-810).
- Install the aileron servo-controls.
- Apply hydraulic pressure to the system (servo-controls supplied through barrel 1 ).
- Set each servo-control to its internal limit stop position by slowly actuating the slide valves by
hand. , aq,
- Measure aileron upward and downward deflections (20° _ ?«/).
B Adjustment of trim actuator neutral setting (mid-travel position)
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Set the trim actuator to its «rod retracted» electrical stop position (continuous operation).
Measure the protruding dimension of the sleeve with respect to the casing. This dimension is referred to
as dimension A. Then set the trim actuator to its «rod extended» electrical stop position (continuous
operation). Measure the new protruding dimension B of the sleeve with respect to the casing. The
«B-A» difference represents the rod travel between electrical stops, which should be equal to
16 ± 0.5 mm (0.629 ± 0.019 in).
Set the trim actuator to its mid-travel position ± 0.1 mm (± 0.0039 in) and in this position,
measure the resistance across terminals H and J or J and K of the equipment connector : it should be
| ± 0.02 Q. .

NOTE : In order not to damage the potentiometer slider (terminal J), it is essenstial to perform this
test with a digital ohmmeter or an ohmmeter whose output is less than 5 mA.
The total potentiometer resistance R measured across therminals H and K is equal to
1400 ± 70 n.

- Insert washer 04S0122014 between the skirt-type nut and the lockwasher.

NOTE : Specific case of coupling between spring box and trim actuator.

If the assembly is in abutment and thus prevents any further screwing of the spring box end onto
the trim actuator, it is necessary to refine the adjustment of the control linkage by reducing the length
of rod F171-22 (item 27 in figure 20) in order to obtain the required center-to-center distance (Rotate
the rod end through one turn after fitting a new retainer P/N : 31650AC100TA (tightening torque :
1.5 to 2 m.daN (11.06 to 14.75 ft.lb)).

PITCH CONTROL SYSTEM - PRINCIPLE

(Figure 1)

The pitch control system is operated by means of control stick 1. A power servo-control 66C is
provided at the other channel end to actuate each stabilator. In electrical control mode, these
components perform roll and pitch damping function as per damping signals directly fed by associated
electronic components.

Pilot's command is transmitted via an auxiliary servo-control 77C inserted in the linkage, close to
control stick. In electrical control mode, this auxiliary servo-control acts as an actuating jack to the
autopilot.

Pitch control can be effected :

- Either manually, by means of control stick and with or without electrical pitch damping signals
fed to stabilator servo-controls 65C and 66C.

Flight commands transmitted to power servo-controls may be either electrical or mechanical


commands.

- Or automatically, through the autopilot provided that roll, pitch and yaw damping systems
operate. In that case, the control stick follows the displacements of auxiliary servo-control 77C.

The installation also includes the following :

-Connected in parallel with control linkage :


- An artificial feel unit (A.F.U,) 76C, connected to trim actuator 89C. The trim indicator is
used to shift the A.F.U. zero load setting.
- An ARTHUR device 75C, intended to cause artificial feel loads applied to control stick to
vary in accordance with flight parameters (Mach number and altitude).
- A dash-pot 1 94C, intended to apply to control stick a force proportional to control stick
displacement speed. This force varies in accordance with IAS and altitude (built-in aneroid).

- Connected in series in control linkage :


- An AMEDEE variable ratio bellcrank 3, intented to reduce control sensitivy about a given
control stick position.
- with associated electrically-operated selector valve 69C,
Releasable bellcranks 70C and 71 C
intended to isolate stabilator servo-controls from linkage during electrical operation.
- Position pickoffs, provided for servo-control slaving in electrical mode.

Failures and safety systems

Should the pitch channel electrical control circuits (damping or autopilot) happen to fail, the
various safety systems will automatically change over to direct mechanical control (control stick).

Should the hydraulic power generation system happen to fail :

1 In hydraulic system 1 and emergency system :

- Autopilot no longer available.


- Half of stabilator servo-control nominal force available only, but such servo-controls perform
pitch damping function on other hydraulic system as long as the accumulator built into
electrically-operated selector valve 69C is not empty.
-ARTHUR device no longer available (absence of hydraulic supply), causing the artificial feel
loads applied to control stick to be not varied as per flight parameters. The variable bellcrank shifts to
low ratio under the action of its internal spring.

2 In hydraulic system 2 :

- Autopilot, roll and pitch damping system and «ARTHUR» device available.
- Half of stabilator servo-control nominal force available only.

3 In all hydraulic systems :

In that case, an automatic locking device (built into barrel 1 of each stabilator servo-control)
performs the following functions :

- In flight : locking of stabilators in the position they occupy when failure occurs.
- On the ground : locking of stabilators, even in the case of very strong wind.

Should hydraulic system 1 and emergency system happen


to fail in flight, the built-in accumulator will provide
for about 3 to 5 actuations of releasable bellcranks,
therefore allowing servo-controls to operate on barrel 2
in electrical mode.

In the case where releasable bellcranks cannot be un¬


locked due to an empty accumulator, electrical control
of stabilator servo-control is cancelled by m icrosw itch-
operated safety systems.

70C RELEASABLE BELLCRANKS 36-10 X


71C 36-02
It is provided with three coaxial arms :
- Arm A : Connected to pilot's linkage.
- Arm B : Connected to servo-control selector valves.
- Arm C : Connected to servo-control body.
Arm B can be locked or unlocked hydraulically with
respect to arm A.
In unlocked configuration, arm B can move over a large
or small travel with respect to arm A, depending on
moving stop position. Each travel range (which is a
function of flight parameters) is monitored by safety
microswitches cancelling electrical control of stabila¬
tors in case of failure.
Locking and travel control functions are provided by
electrically-operated selector valve 69C.
Moreover, the releasable bellcrank is fitted with a
dual differential position pickoff the body of which
is connected to arm A and the lever of which is connected
to arm C.
This pickoff is used to slave stabilator servo-control
to flight commands and damping signals.

75C VARIABLE BELLCRANK (ARTHUR) 11-04i

This is a hydraulic jack the body of which can oscillate


about a pin integral with aircraft' structure.
One piston end is connected to linkage and the other
to A.F.U. 76C.
Supplied from hydraulic system 1 through servo-valve
74C, it allows artificial feel loads to be slaved to
flight parameters through the displacement of its piston.
The following will be obtained for a given control
stick displacement :
(1) At low IAS : Low ARTHUR ratio, causing low arti¬
ficial feel loads to be applied for small A.F.U. travels.
(2) At high IAS : High ARTHUR ratio, causing higher
artificial feel loads to be applied for larger A.F.U.
travels.
The ARTHUR bellcrank travel varies in accordance with
Mach number and altitude.
A linear potentiometer is built into the variable
bellcrank for slaving purposes.
Should hydraulic system 1 and emergency system happen
to fail, the ARTHUR bellcrank will automatically shift
to low ratio.

76C ARTIFICIAL FEEL UNIT (A.F.U.) 12-04


23-04i
Consisting of a spring box, it transmits an artificial
feel to pilot's linkage, which artificial feel varies in
accordance with spring box rod displacement.
The A.F.U. body is connected to trim actuator 89C and
the A.F.U. rod to one piston end of variable bellcrank
75C.
It is fitted with two potentiometers one of which acts
as a dynamometric pickoff. When the pitch channel is
controlled by the autopilot, the information provided
by this potentiometer is used by the auto trim system
to permanently cancel the artificial feel loads applied
by the A.F.U.
The second potentiometer is a part of the corresponding
safety channel.

OPERATION OF PITCH CHANNEL

Two control modes are available :

- Manual control
- Automatic control through autopilot

In manual control mode, power servo-controls can be controlled either mechanically by the
linkage, or electrically from commands fed by the flying aid rack.

In the latter case (electrical control), the flight command is fed together with a pitch damping
signal.

Automatic aircraft control requires proper operation of electrical control channel and pitch and
roll dampers. Manual flight command is replaced by auxiliary servo-control action obtained from
commands generated by the autopilot.

Moreover, the installation is provided with a stabilator locking device operating in the case where
hydraulic pressure drops in systems.

1 - MANUAL CONTROL

A Auxiliary servo-control 77C (See 04-1)

Its operation is similar to that of servo-control 79C.

The servo-control drives the linkage up to releasable bellcranks 70C and 71C.

B - Releasable bellcranks 70C and 71C (Figure 5)

Located in the upstream vicinity of each power servo-control, the releasable bellcranks are
intended to convert the mechanical flight command transmitted by the linkage into an electrical
command intended to control stabilator servo-control.

(1) Description

Releasable bellcranks are fitted with a dual position pickoff supplied from electrical circuits 1 and
2, which pickoff permanently detects the difference existing between the positions of arms A and C, i.e.
the difference existing between servo-control and linkage positions. Any deviation causes an electrical
signal (intended to cancel such a deviation to be fed to the torque motor.

Besides, two maximum deviations between servo-control and linkage positions are permitted,
depending on flight parameters. On releasable bellcranks, each range is monitored by a set of safety
microswitches and is limited by mechanical moving stops 20 hydraulically controlled by solenoid 2 of
electrically-operated selector valve 69C. the set of microswitches and the corresponding position of
mechanical stops 20 are selected by the flying aid rack, depending on Mach number and altitude.

(2) Operation

Switching on the electrical control channel (pitch damper switch 55C) causes solenoid 1 of
electrically-operated selector valve 69C to be energized, therefore providing for hydraulic unlocking of
releasable bellcrank arms A and B.

Any flight command transmitted by the linkage will cause differential displacement of releasable
bellcrank arms A and C to take place. The pickoff will detect that deviation causing a control signal to
be fed by the flying aid rack to the stabilator servo-control.

C Stabilator servo-controls (Figure 5)

Turning on pitch damper switch 55C causes solenoid valve 21 of torque motor 22 to be energized,
provided that :
- electrically-operated selector valve 69C is pressurized.
- arm B of bellcrank 70C or 71C is unlocked and positionned correctly within stops 20.

(1) Normal control through electrical circuit 1

(a) Barrel 1

System 2 pressure pushes back locking device 23.


-
System 1 pressure causes by-pass valve 24 to be positionned through controlled valve 6 so as to
-
allow hydraulic pressure to be directed towards power stage chamber A or B.
- Solenoid valve 21 is open and allows hydraulic pressure to be directed to the servo-valve of
torque motor 22.
- The flight command generated by the flying aid rack is transmitted to torque motor 22. The
torque motor flap tilts and blanks off one of the two servo-valve nozzles, which causes the pressure to
be directed to one or to the other side of selector valve 25.

The displacement of selector valve 25 causes the hydraulic fluid to be directed to power stage
chamber A or B, therefore causing the servo-control body to move and to drive the stabilator. The
command sent to torque motor 22 is then cancelled by potentiometer type sensing system.

(b) Barrel 2

- Positioned by system 2 pressure, by-pass valve 26 allows the hydraulic fluid to be directed to
power stage chambers.
- Solenoid valve 27 is closed.
- Barrel 2 is controlled by common selector valve 25.

(2) Control through electrical circuit 2

This mode of operation takes place in the case of failure of electrical circuit 1.

(a) Barrel 1

- Solenoid valve 21 is closed and toruqe motor 22 is not fed with any command.
- Barrel 1 is controlled by common selector valve 25.

. (b) Barrel 2

- Solenoid valve 27 is open and torque motor 28 is active. Barrel 2 operates as barrel 1 in previous
case.

D Mechanical control of stabilator servo-controls

This mode of operation takes place in the case of failure of both electrical control circuits.

(1) Electrically-operated selector valve 69C

Solenoid 1 is de-energized, which causes releasable bellcrank arms A and B to be locked.

(2) Controlled valve 6

It allows system 1 hydraulic fluid to be returned to reservoir.

(3) Stabilator servo-controls ( Figure 6)


Solenoid valves 21 and 27 are closed. Selector valve 25 is fed with mechanical commands from
releasable bellcrank and drives the servo-control until command is cancelled.

E In manual control mode, trim actuator 89C is actuated by manual control 87C whatever the flight
commands transmitted to stabilator servo-controls may be (electrical or mechanical commands). Trim
actuator allows zero load setting to be obtained at A.F.U. 76C for each pitch linkage position
corresponding to a given deflection of stabilators.

Apparent A.F.U. stiffness is varied in accordance to airspeed thanks to the ARTHUR device which
provided two different ratios between two arms. Control circuits are indépendant and the pilot can
select either the low ratio or high ratio of variable bellcrank 75C through manual control 57C (See
figure 5M : ARTHUR law).

With selector switch 57C set to «AUTO», the ARTHUR device will remain in the position it
occupies in the case of air data computer or ARTHUR servo system failure.

2- ROLL AND PITCH DAMPING


The roll damper is used only with autopilot engaged and yaw damper operating.

The aircraft is stabilized along its flight path by means of damping signals sent to stabilator
servo-controls. Such damping signals are generated by the flying aid rack from information provided by
rate gyros and are combined in such a manner that both stabilators perform the following functions
simultaneously :
- Pitch damping, through equal deflection taking place in the same direction.
- Roil damping, through equal deflection taking place in opposite directions.

The damping signals generated by the flying aid rack are fed together with electrical flight
commands. They cause power servo-controls to operate as described above (paragraph C).

3- AUTOMATIC CONTROL
Automatic control can be effected only with roll and pitch damping system operating.
Electrically-operated selector valve 53C is open and allows system 1 pressure to be directed to
-
barrel 1 of auxiliary servo-control 77C.
- Dual supply valve 96C, which is controlled by system 1 pressure, causes system 2 to be shut off.
- Automatic trimming is effected.

A Auxiliary servo-control 77C (Figure 8)

Its operation is similar to that of auxiliary servo-control 79C (See 04-1 ).

The commands generated by the autopilot and passing through the flying aid rack are transmitted
to the servo-valve torque motor. Servo-control 77C moves, simultaneously driving the control stick and
the pitch linkage section between control stick and releasable bellcranks 70C and 71 C.

The operation of releasable bellcranks 70C and 71 C, electrically-operated selector valve 69C,
controlled valve 6 and stabilator servo-controls 65C and 66C is similar to that previously described for
normal electrical control mode (See paragraph C (1)).

In automatic control mode, the trim actuator allows A.F.U. zero load setting to be obtained at any
time, regardless of auxiliary servo-control displacement.

B Change-over from automatic mode to manual mode (Figure 7)

Change-over from automatic mode to manual mode can be due :


either to momentary disconnection or voluntary switching off of autopilot performed by the
-
pilot (stick uncouple switch 52C).
- or to the operation of one or several safety systems, in the case of failure of hydraulic systems or
electronic circuits.

In the case where the autopilot is voluntarily switched off without failure of pitch and roll
damping system, the control mode taking place is manual control with electrical transmission of
commands to stabilator servo-controls 65C and 66C.

In the case where the autopilot is switched off with failure of pitch and roll damping system, the
control mode taking place is manual mode with mechanical transmission of pilot's commands to
stabilator servo-controls 65C and 66C.

NOTE : As for roll control system, it is possible to voluntarily change over to manual control by
shutting off hydraulic supply to barrel 1 of auxiliary servo-control 77C, through closing of
electrically-operated selector valve 53C (stick uncouple switch 52C), or by applying a sudden
jerk to control stick, which causes one of the safety microswitches controlled by the
bellcrank of auxiliary servo-control 77C to operate.

4- STABILATOR GROUND LOCKING DEVICE (Figure 9)

A Locking

Systems 1 and 2 are depressurized.

(1) Controlled valve 6

The absence of pressure in system 1 causes piston 29 to be pushed back under spring action.
Valve 30 is pushed back under spring action and blanks off the return system to servo-control reservoir.

(2) Stabilator servo-controls 65C and 66C.

- Barrel 1 : The absence of pressure in system 2 causes locking device 23 to be pushed back under
spring action. The absence of pressure in system 1 causes by-pass valve 24 to be pushed back under
spring action and to abut against piston 23 which prevents interconnection between both chambers A
and B.
Non-return valve 31 and valve 30 allow hydraulic locking and prevent fluid delivery which may
occur, through selector valve, to HP system and reservoir.

However, small leaks may also occur at the location of by-pass valves and of selector valve, so that
a slight drift of the servo-control may come about, entailing stabilator lowering the speed of which
depends upon the flow rate of the leakage.

Such a drift may be tolerated as long as it does not cause noticeable stresses in control linkage.

On the other hand, if delivery pressure in return line exceeds calibration value of valve 30, the
latter operates as a pressure relief valve.

Barrel 2 : system 2 being depressurized, by-pass valve 26 is pushed back under spring action,
therefore allowing both power chambers to become interconnected.

B Unlocking

In the case where system 2 is pressurized, only servo-control locking device 23 is being pushed
back. By-pass valve 24, fully pushed back under spring action, provides for complete interconnection
between chambers A and B of servo-control barrel 1 .
- In the case where system 1 is pressurized, piston 29 is acted upon by the pressure, causing
valve 30 to open therefore allowing system 1 fluid to be returned to reservoir.

By-pass valve 24 provides for normal operation of barrel 1 .

5- PITCH TRIM SYSTEM (Figure 10)

The pilot is relieved of constant actuation of control stick, in the case of change in aircraft
aerodynamical balance, through the use of trim actuator 89C. Such a trim actuator provides the
possibility of obtaining A.F.U. zero load setting (A.F.U. 76C) for any stabilator position.

A Pitch trim control

The trim system is controlled either manually or automatically (with autopilot 39C engaged).

(1) Operation in manual control mode

Trim actuator 89C is controlled from a control switch located on control stick handgrip, which
control switch actuates «NOSE-DOWN/NOSE-UP» plunger 87C. Power supply is provided by DC
system 1 (R1=), with «MANUAL-AUTO» relay 88C de-energized.

- Actuating the control switch in «NOSE-DOWN» direction causes the trim motor to be operated
in the «rod extended» direction.
- Actuating the control switch to «NOSE-UP» direction causes the trim motor to be operated in
the «rod retracted» direction. Two microswitches are provided in the motor to cut off power supply
when the rod is either fully extended or fully retracted.

(2) Operation in automatic control mode

Automatic control is effected by the flying aids (through amplifier 48C) when autopilot 39C is
being engaged (See 13-1 and 13-2).

(a) Principle

The bellcrank of auxiliary servo-control 77C becomes locked onto its body as soon as the
autopilot is engaged. The electrically-operated servo-valve, which follows the commands fed by the
autopilot, causes the servo-control to move as well as the control stick, due to the locked bellcrank of
auxiliary servo-control 77C.

The bellcrank becomes unlocked in the case where the autopilot is disengaged.

Should the more or less compressed A.F.U. apply a load to the linkage, such a load would cause
the auxilary servo-control main selector valve to open fully and suddenly. The aircraft would then be
subjected to a sudden nose-up or nose-down jerk.

Such a phenomenon is suppressed by using a pickoff (built into the A.F.U. and acting as a
dynamometer)which permanently detects A.F.U. movements.

This information is used by the flying aid rack to control trim actuator operation so as to
permanently obtain A.F.U. zero load setting.

(b) Operation

Autopilot engagement causes a signal to be fed by flying aid amplifier 48C to energize the
following relays :
- Relay 88C, which cuts off manual control and allows automatic control.
- Trim cutoff relay 144C.
- Auto trim relay 145C or 146C (the trim motor being supplied by DC system 1 (R1=) through the
other auto trim relay).

De-energized trim cutoff relay 144C cuts off trim actuator automatic control without allowing
manual control to take place.

B Automatic trim safety device


The A.F.U. includes two indépendant potentiometers, one intended for the control circuit and the
other for the safety circuit. Should the output voltage of second potentiometer be higher than a
pre-determined threshold value, a safety device included in flying aid amplifier 48C causes :
- «TRIM» failure warning light to come on in cockpit
- Relay 144C to be de-energized (suppression of automatic trim control).

C Pitch trim indicating

Pitch trim indications are provided on trim indicator 82C, indicating trim actuator position. This
indicator is common to the three trim control systems (yaw, roll and pitch). Trim indications are
supplied by the potentiometer built into the trim actuator and controlling the displacement of a center
bar moving upwards or downwards on corresponding trim indicator dial.

6- FAILURES
A Hydraulic failure of system 1 and emergency system (Figure 11).
- Dual supply valve 96C automatically supplies barrel 2 of auxiliary servo-control 77C and
uncouples the autopilot. The «ELEV» and «ROLL» failure warning lights come on.
- Artificial feel loads are no longer slaved to Mach number and altitude. Variable bellcrank 75C
shifts to low ratio, under internal spring action.
- Damping function is momentarily available on electrical circuit 2 as long as the hydraulic
accumulator built into electrically-operated selector valve 69C remains capable of actuating the
releasable bellcranks.

Once the accumulator built into electrically-operated selector valve 69C is empty, arms A and B of
releasable bellcranks 70C and 71 C become automatically locked.

Stabilator servo-controls 65C and 66C have their nominal force reduced by 50%.
-
Flying aid electrical circuits 1 and 2 are cut off by releasable bellcrank safety microswitches,
-
which results in manual control without damping function. The «PITCH» failure warning light comes
on.

B Hydraulic failure of system 2

Such a failure has no effect upon the operation of pitch channel, except as regards stabilator
servo-controls which have their nominal force reduced by 50%.

C Failure of electrical circuit 1.

In the case where a failure causing an excessive difference in position between linkage and
servo-control occurs, the flying aid safety channel is set into service through releasable bellcrank
microswitches. Electrical control is then effected by electrical channel 2 controlling barrel 2 of
stabilator servo-controls. The «ELEV» failure warning light comes on.

D Failure of electrical circuit 2

In the case where a failure causing an excessive difference in position between linkage and
servo-control occurs, the flying aid safety channel is set into service through releasable bellcrank
microswitches. Automatic locking of bellcrank arms A and B and cutoff of electrical circuit 2 are
automatically effected by releasable bellcrank microswitches.

This results in manual control without damping configuration, except in the case where hydraulic
system 1 operates normally and where the above-mentioned failure of electrical circuit 1 does not exist
any longer. In such a case, releasable bellcrank microswitches cause system 1 to supply barrel 1 and the
roll and pitch damping function remains available.

E Electrical power supply failure (circuits 1 and 2)

Electrically-operated selector valve 69C is de-energized and causes arms A and B of releasable
bellcranks 70C and 71C to become locked. Solenoid valve 21 is no longer energized and torque
motor 22 is no longer fed with any command. This results in manual control without damping
configuration. The «ELEV», «PITCH» and «ROLL» failure warning lights come on.

NOTE : When a failure occurs any failure of electrical circuits1 and 2, with «ELEV», «PITCH» and
«ROLL» amber failure warning lights on), the pilot has at his disposal servo reset button 54C
which allows the failed channel to be reset into service, provided that the cause of failure has
disappeared.

INCORPORATED DOCUMENTATION
PITCH VARIABLE RATIO BELLCRANK

(Figure 12)

1- GENERAL
The variable ratio bellcrank is an epicyclic device which, when inserted in the pitch control system
of an aircraft,
is intended to reduce control sensitivity about the 1°30' nose-up position.

2- DESCRIPTION

The variable ratio bellcrank essentially consists of :


- Support 1 , bearing two fixed toothed quadrants
- Bellcrank 2, hinged to support pin and bearing two planet gears.

Upstream linkage end-fitting 5 is connected to bellcrank 2. Downstream linkage end-fitting 6 is


connected to eccentric shaft which is integral with both planet gears 8.

A Support 1

Its upper part supports both toothed quadrants 3 attached by means of screws. Sealing between
each toothed quadrant and its cover is ensured by means of a felt piece 13 fitted to the end of toothed
quadrants.
Its lower part is run through by bellcrank hinge pin 4.
Support 1 is fitted with two adjustable screws 9, acting as bellcrank travel stops.

B- Bellcrank 2

It is provided at its lower part with the cages of bearings 10 the bore of which accomodates planet
gear 8 onto which half-crankpin 11 is centered and fixed. Both half-crankpins are connected through
eccentric shaft 7 run through downstream linkage end-fitting 6. Upstream linkage end-fitting 5 is pinned
at bellcrank mid-height through pin 12 (end-fitting 5 is offset with respect to bellcrank vertical axis).

Covers 14, protecting planet gears and toothed quadrants, are installed on either side on bellcrank
to part.

3- OPERATION

The variable ratio bellcrank is inserted between pitch channel auxiliary servo-control and power
servo-controls. To a given bellcrank travel within stop-to-stop range corresponds an arc of a circle
described by the input linkage pin and a flat epicycloid described by the output linkage pin.

In the vicinity of neutral position, a given displacement of the input linkage will cause a smaller
displacement of the output linkage, therefore providing the control stick with a greater accuracy.

On the contrary, the displacement of the output linkage will be greater than that of the input
linkage at bellcrank travel limits, therefore allowing the control surface to be moved quicker with a
constant control stick displacement speed.

The 6°10' offsetting of input linkage end-fitting with respect to mounting axis of output linkage
end-fitting allows the middle point of maximum control stick sensitivity range to be located at 1°30'
nose-up.

PITCH ARTIFICIAL FEEL UNIT

(Figure 13)

1 - GENERAL
The A.F.U. is a spring system the rod displacement of which provides a force varying in
accordance with such a displacement. Inserted in a channel including servo-controls, it allows a
progressive artificial feel varying in accordance with control stick displacement to be applied to pilot's
linkage.

The A.F.U. is provided with two potentiometers. One of these potentiometers is intended, in
automatic control mode, to detect the direction and value of any load applied by the A.F.U.

A control signal allowing such a load to be cancelled is then automatically supplied to a trim
actuator coupled to the A.F.U. The second potentiometer is a part of the corresponding safety channel.

2- DESCRIPTION

The pitch A.F.U. consists of :


- Cylinder 1
- Rod 2
- Three stops 3, 4 and 5
Two end springs 6 and 7 and two center springs 8
- Sleeve 9
- Adjusting guide 10
- Body 11
- Two potentiometers 12 with associated control system
- Two attachment clevises 13 and 14.

A - Cylinder 1

The ends of the cylinder are equipped with an adjusting guide 10 and body 1 1 .

B- Rod 2

The rod comprises a shoulder at one end and a sleeve 9 at the other end against which are seated
stops 3 and 5 actuated by the initial load of springs 8.

The displacement of the rod in either direction drives the stops, thereby increasing or decreasing
the spring load and consequently causing shortening or lengthening of the A.F.U.

C- Stops 3, 4 and 5
Each stop acts as a seat to two of the four springs. The bore of each stop is provided with two
machined grooves accommodating a teflon split ring 37 (intended to reduce frictions between stops and
rod).

D Springs 6, 7 and 8

Spring bearing points are as follows :


- center springs 8 : between center stop and each of the other two stops,
- end spring on cylinder side : between cylinder bottom and stop 5,
- end spring on rod side : between adjusting guide 10 and stop 3.

E - Sleeve 9

Screwed onto the rod, it provides for initial setting adjustment of both center springs 8
during assembly.

F - Adjusting guide 10

Screwed into the cylinder and acting as the rod bearing, it provides for initial setting ad¬
justment of both end springs 6 and 7. It accomodates a teflon split ring 36 so as to reduce in¬
ternal friction. It is secured against motion in the cylinder by means of nut 17.

G - Body 1 1

Screwed at one cylinder end, it is connected to the latter through nut 1 5. It contains both
potentiometers 12, lever assemblies 20 and return springs 21. The assembly is protected by
two covers 22 attached to the body through eight screws 23, each of these screws being fitted
with a washer 24.

H - Single potentiometers 1 2

Each potentiometer is held in body 1 1 by means of four angles 25 attached by a screw 26


and a washer 27. Control lever 20 is attached to potentiometer shaft through clamp 28. The
rollers fitted to levers 20 are maintened in contact with cam 1 9 by springs 21 . Peg 29 acts as a
stop to lever 20 when the A.F.U. extends beyong a certain value. Potentiometers are equiped
with an electrical cable provided with a connector intended to ensure connection with aircraft
electrical circuits.

J - Attachment clevises 13 and 14

Clevis 1 4 is screwed onto the outer end of body 1 1 and is connected to the latter through
nut 16. It is used to adjust the A.F.U. to length in the aircraft. It is fitted with pin 30, flange
32, washer 33, nut 34 and locking pin 35. Clevis 13 is screwed onto the outer end of rod 2
and is secured to the latter through lockplate 38. It is fitted with pin 31, washer 33, nut 34
and locking pin 35.

3 - OPERATION

The device comprises four preloaded springs 6, 7 and 8. The initial load of the two
springs 8 is higher than that of springs 6 and 7. Without an external force, the device is in the
balanced configuration under the action of the forces generated by the four springs.

Under a compressive load (A.F.U. shortening), the rod moves in accordance with the
O.A.B.C. chart.

A - Zone OA

Spring 7 is compressed and spring 6 extends; springs 8 retain their initial length due to
their higher initial load. Only springs 6 and 7 work in this zone.

B - Point A

Spring 7 is compressed, springs 8 remain still set to their initial length and spring 6 ex¬
tends exactly to its free length dimension.

-with both bearings resting on outer spacers 16, check that remaining clearance between
center spacer 17 and bearing inner races 18 is 1 mm (0.03 in) total (see detail).
-on the bushing outer support, check the condition of the PR bead located where the
bushing and the support meet ; if necessary, renew it.
-spring washer 14 for scratches and galling and check its free height which should be
0 + 0.2 m 110+ 0.008.
3_0lmm(0.118_0fJ04.n). »

7 - INSTALLATION

- Preliminary steps to be performed if necessary (when the desired bellcrank fitting is not obtai¬
ned) or upon replacement of a spring washer.
- Calibration of a spring washer (under press) :
- measure its free thickness (dimension E),
- measure its thickness under a load of 700 daN (1573 Ib.wgt) (dimension E'),
- the difference between dimensions E and E' corresponds to the spring washer compres¬
sion under 700 daN (1573 Ib.wgt).
Check of bushing sliding motion in aircraft fitting :
-
- the bushing should move (by means of pin 12 and nut 15 «without bellcrank») when
the nut is tightened to a torque of about 1 m.daN (7.375 ft.lb),
- if no movement is detected, grind or replace the bushing. The bushing/bore assembly
can also be lapped so as to obtain a «category 4» interference fit, i.e., 6 ± 2 microns of interference on
the diameter. The surface shall be carefully finished.
Apply a light coat of Mastinox 6856H to the bushing outside diameter prior to fitting, then
remove the excess compound.
- Position the bellcrank in its clevis.
- Install the pin :
- insert pin 1 2 through the inside of the engine compartment with the flat area of the head
uppermost.
- Make sure that the bearing and the bushing support surfaces mate perfectly by tightening
(5 m.daN or 36.8 ft.lb) and slackening nut 15 several times (settling of components and seating of
sliding bushing), without installing the spring washer. During this operation, make sure that the sliding
bushing moves in the bore without deflection of the aircraft fitting flanges. After tightening, there
should be a hardening of the bellcrank rotary torque ; however, the bellcrank should still be maneuverable
by hand.
- Remove nut 15 and install (well greased) spring washer 13, then lockwasher 14, with the inner
tab towards the bearings. Grease the threads and the inner surface of the nut very lightly, then fit it and
torque it to 5 m.daN (36.8 ft.lb).

From this position, tighten the nut as little as possible to reach the first safetying position. As
only three of the lower tabs on the washer are accessible, it may only be necessary to make 1/10
turn to reach the safetying position.

- After application of the 5 m.daN (36.8 ft.lb) tightening torque corresponding to an axial load
of 700 daN (1573 Ib.wgt) on the spring washer, the bellcrank must not drop under its own weight from
the horizontal position.
-When correctly fitted, the bellcrank should rotate with a certain resistance. For information
purposes only, the rotating force as measured at the rod attaching point is about 5.5 to 10 daN (12.4 to
22.5 Ib.wgt).
- When the desired bellcrank fitting is not obtained or upon replacement of a spring washer, proper
compression of the spring washer can be checked for (after final assembly) as follows :
- Upon final assembly :
- fit the spring washer and lockwasher (well greased),
- tighten the nut by hand until contacting all the components (ensure proper seating),
- measure dimension A (nut face/pin end),
- measure dimension B (fitting flange/bushing shoulder),
- tighten the nut to the specified torque,
- measure the two dimensions again (A' and B'),
-the difference between dimensions A and A' should normally correspond to the compres¬
sion (700 daN prestress) of the spring washer (at ± 5/100) increased by the value of the sliding bushing
depression, i.e.. A' - A = (E - E') + (B - B')
- Bend the lockwasher tab.
- Apply a bead of PR sealant around the sliding bushing shoulder.

Fitting flange:

Sliding bushing

8- FINAL STEPS

- Connect rod 5 to the bellcrank :


- insert pin 7 head outwards, positioning it on the flat area ;
- fit retaining screw 9 and torque it to 5 m.daN (36.8 ft.lb) ;
- if necessary, untighten a little to install lockwasher 10 of screw 9 ;
- fit lockwasher 10 to retaining screw 9 ;
- fit lock cup 8 to lockwasher 10 ;
- insert screw 6, fitted with lockwasher, in pin 7 ; screw home and lower tabs on lockwasher.
- Reinstall the pitch servo-control (see 04-2).
- Reinstall the access doors.
- Reinstall the engine (see 06-4).

1 - SCOPE

- To perform A.F.U. calibration check in the case where artificial feel loads are found to be put of
tolerance in aircraft.
-To perform A.F.U. adjustment after complete disassembly performed for servicing and
lubrication.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A Special tools
-Tool kit F1-CVD
B - Standard tools
- Torque wrench kit . 0 to 3 m.daN (0 to 20 ft.lb)
- Torque wrench kit : 2 to 20 m.daN (1 5 to 1 50 ft.lb).
C - Ground support equipment
- Mechanical test stand MK M043.

3 - A.F.U. ADJUSTMENT

A Installation of A.F.U. on test stand


- Mechanical test stand MK M043 should be previously fitted with all adaptors provided for A.F.U.
installation (See mechanical test stand technical handbook).
- Using the attaching pins belonging to test stand .
-Pin clevis 1 3 to balance beam.
-Pin clevis 14 to moving poppet.
- Rotate moving poppet control wheel so as to set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer
set to zero). The A.F.U. is then set to neutral (no load applied).

NOTE 1 : The ratio available with balance scales hooked to beam ends is 10 : 1 and the correspondence
between the weight placed on one scale and the load applied to the A.F.U. rod is as follows .

Weight (kg) = 1.02 x load (daN) x 0.1

NOTE 2 : In order to prevent measurements from being affected by A.F.U. internal frictions, the
balance beam should always be set in horizontal position' (pointer set to zero) in the direction
causing the scale on which weights are placed (or to be placed during next test) to move
upwards.

CAUTION :
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BALANCE BEAM SHOULD BE PINNED BEFORE PLACING
WEIGHTS ON A SCALE OR BEFORE REMOVING THEM, THIS IN ORDER TO PROTECT
COMPONENTS (CLEVIS, END-FITTING, ETC..) FROM DAMAGES DUE TO LARGE
ANGULAR MOVEMENTS.
BALANCE AND COMPONENT FORCES ARE EQUALIZED AFTER WEIGHTS ARE EITHER
PLACED OR REMOVED BY ACTUATING THE MOVING POPPET CONTROL WHEEL UNTIL
THE PIN CAN BE EASILY REMOVED FROM THE BALANCE BEAM.

B Adjustment of end spring initial setting


- With balance beam unpinned in horizontal position (no weight on scales) and using a depth
gauge, measure dimension A comprised between depth gauge bearing face and external face of adjusting
guide 10. Then, pin the balance beam.

NOTE : This dimension A should be measured each time the adjusting guide is being acted upon.

- Place on the scale located on «rod retraction» side a weight likely to exert a compressive force of
30 daN (67.4 Ib.wgt) on the A.F.U. rod.Actuate themoving poppet control wheel to equalize the forces
and unpin the beam. With the beam in horizontal position (pointer set to zero), measure new dimension
between depth gauge bearing face and adjusting guide (dimension D).
- Rod displacement (A.F.U. travel) is equal to the difference between dimensions A and B (B A).
It should be equal to 7.5 ± 1 mm (0.295 ± 0.039 in).
- Should the value obtained be found out of tolerance, remove the A.F.U. and untighten nut 17
while holding adjusting guide 10 by means of wrench MHJ 101-22. Screw the adjusting guide to reduce
the travel and unscrew it to increase the travel. Then, slightly tighten nut 17 and repeat all tests.

C End spring stiffness check

- Pin the balance beam and place on the same scale a weight likely to exert a force of 48 daN
(107.9 Ib.wgt). Rotate the moving poppet control wheel to equalize forces and unpin the balance beam.
With balance beam set in horizontal position (pointer set to zero), measure new dimension C between
depth gauge bearing face and adjusting guide.
-The «C - A» travel should be equal to 15 ± 1,5 mm (0.590 ± 0.059 in). Should the value
obtained be slightly different from applicable tolerances, try to obtain an adjustment satisfactory for all
tests by acting on adjusting guide 10. Otherwise, replace spring 7.

D Adjustment of center spring initial setting

- With balance beam pinned, place on the same scale a weight likely to exert a force of 60 daN
(134 Ib.wgt) on the A.F.U. rod. Actuate the moving poppet control wheel to equalize forces and upin
the beam. With the beam in horizontal position, measure new dimension D.

The «D A» travel should be equal to 29,5 ±11,5 mm (1.161 ± 0.452 in) (comprised between 18
and 41 mm (0.708 and 1 .614 in)).

- Should the value obtained be found out of tolerance, remove the A.F.U. from test stand, remove
clevis 13 (wrench D21 ) and, securing rod 2 against rotation by means of holding wrench MHG 101-21 ,
unscrew sleeve 9 (wrench MHG 101-25) to increase the travel and screw it to reduce the travel. Reinstall
and tighten clevis 13.

- Reinstall the A.F.U. on test stand and mandatorily perform all adjustments described in
paragraph 3.B. so as to obtain correct calibration of end springs, as the action of such springs is
combined with that of center springs.

- Then, check center spring initial setting as described at the beginning of present paragraph.

E Center spring stiffness check

- Pin the balance beam and place on the same scale a weight likely to exert a force of 70 daN
(157.3 Ib.wgt) on the A.F.U. rod. Actuate the moving poppet control wheel to equalize forces and
unpin the beam. With the beam in horizontal position, measure new dimension E.

- The «E-A» travel should be equal to 56 ± 13 mm (2.204 ± 0.51 1 in). Should the value obtained
be slightly different from applicable tolerances, try to obtain an adjustment satisfactory for all tests by
acting on adjusting guide and sleeve. Otherwise, replace center springs.

F A.F.U. extension check

The procedure is the same as that followed is previous paragraphs, except as regards the weights
which are to be placed on the other scale (causing A.F.U. rod extension).

- Adjustment of end spring initial setting (See paragraph 3.B.) : To a load of 26 daN (58.4 Ib.wgt)
should correspond a travel of 7 ± 1 mm (0.275 ± 0.039 in). Replace spring 6 in the case where an
adjustment satisfactory for all tests (compression and extension) cannot be obtained.

- End spring stiffness check (See paragraph 3.C.) : To a load of 50 daN (112.4 Ib.wgt) should
correspond a travel of 19 ± 2 mm (0.748 ± 0.078 in). Replace spring 6 if the value obtained is found to

- Center spring stiffness check (See paragraph 3.E.) : To a load of 60 daN (134.8 Ib.wgt) should
correspond a travel of 34 ± 1 2 mm (1 .338 ± 0.472 in).

G Internal friction check

With balance beam set in horizontal position (pointer set to zero) and with no weight placed on
-
scales, slightly act on one side of balance beam to obtain small rod displacement. Then, allow the
A.F.U. to resume its zero load setting configuration. Measure dimension between depth gauge bearing
face and adjusting guide.
- Slightly act on the other side of balance beam to obtain small rod displacement in the other
direction. Measure new dimension.
- The difference between above two dimensions, which represents A.F.U. internal frictions, should
be lower than 0.4 mm (0.015 in).

4- A.F.U. CALIBRATION CHECK

- Following adjustment, tighten nuts to torque values specif ied in paragraph 6. A.


- Install the A.F.U. on test stand and successively check that following values are obtained :

Compressive forces (rod retraction)

30 daN (67.4 Ib.wgt) - Travel to be obtained : 7,5 ± 1 mm (0.295 ± 0.039 in)

48 daN (107.9 Ib.wgt) - Travel to be obtained : 15 ± 1,5 mm (0.590 ± 0.059 in)


60 daN (134.8 Ib.wgt) - Travel to be obtained : 29,5 ± 1 1 ,5 mm (1 .161 ± 0.452 in)

60 daN (134.8 Ib.wgt) - Travel to be obtained : 34 + 12 mm (1.338 + 0.472 in)

- Also check that internal frictions in neutral setting (zero load applied) (proceeding in accordance
with procedure described in paragraph 3.G.) do not cause an inertness range to be noticed on either side
of neutral setting, the value of which is higher than 0.4 mm (0.015 in).
- Finally, check that the travel of the A.F.U. is equal to or more than :
- 45 mm (1 .771 in) under tension
- 68 mm (2.677 in) under compression.

5- POTENTIOMETER CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

Connect the A.F.U. to test stand test box and supply the latter with 115 V/400 Hz three-phase AC
power. Check that potentiometer power supply voltages are connect (+ 15 V and 15 V) (perform
voltage measurement by means of a digital voltmeter, using the «external check» control).

NOTE : Should power supply voltages (+ 15 V and 15 V) be not perfectly balanced, add both
values and divide by two (take the value obtained as zero indication).

A Potentiometer setting

- With no weight placed on scale and with balance beam unpinned and set to neutral position, apply
a tensile and then compressive force to the A.F.U. (proceeding as described in paragraph 3.G.). In both
cases, allow the A.FU. to resume its zero load position and measure potentiometer output voltages by
depressing pushbuttons C2 and then C3. The four values read should be comprised between 60 mV
and + 60 mV about zero indication taken as a reference).
- Should out-of-tolerance values be found for one potentiometer, slightly untighten the screws
attaching the four angles 25 and rotate potentiometer body to obtain values comprised within tole¬
rances. Tighten angle attaching screws and check that values have remained the same.
- Should similar out-of-tolerance values be found for both potentiometers, screw or unscrew
body 11 with respect to cylinder 1 and torque nut 15 to torque value specified in paragraph 6.B.

B Voltage variation check

Applying a tensile force to the A.F.U. should cause potentiometer output voltage to increase.
Otherwise, check electric wiring.

C Continuity check

With balance beam pinned, actuate the moving poppet control wheel to vary the output voltages
and check that the latter vary without sparking nor interruption. Otherwise, replace defective poten¬
tiometer.

D Output voltage check

With balance beam pinned, actuate the moving poppet control wheel to obtain a travel of 1 1 mm
(0.433 in) successively in both directions.
Output voltages should be as follows :
- rod extension : + 2.6 ± 0.2 V
- rod retraction : - 2.6 ± 0.2 V.

ADJUSTMENT OF PITCH CONTROL SYSTEM

(Figure 19)

1- SCOPE

To provide instructions for complete adjustment of control system concerned.

2- GENERAL

The flight control linkage is adjusted in factory using manufacturing tools (such as dummy
servo-controls, micrometric rods, dummy components, etc.) allowing basic linkage adjustment to be
determined and therefore providing for the interchangeability of certain system components.

CONSEQUENTLY, NO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OPERATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT


ON LINKAGE EXCEPT AS REGARDS NORMAL OPERATIONS MENTIONED IN THE
DOCUMENTATION AND WHICH CAN BE CARRIED OUT WITH NO RISK OF ALTERING THE
INITIAL ADJUSTMENT.
In the case where operations are to be carried out on the linkage (structural repair for instance), which
operations require system components to be removed, it is IMPERATIVE that length and setting of
various components should be marked with accuracy before disassembly, or that manufacturing tools
should be used at reassembly so as to restore initial adjustment.

SHOULD A CONTROL BE FOUND OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, DO NOT ALTER EXISTING


ADJUSTMENT AS LONG AS THE CAUSE OF MISADJUSTMENT IS NOT POSITIVELY
DETERMINED.

The following particular rules should be known and complied with each time operations are being
carried out on the system :
- Apply correct tightening torques to various connecting components (pins - rods). Rods should be
torqued on a bench.
- Use thimbles for mounting the pins, in order to prevent bores from being damaged. Slightly
lubricate pins before their installation.
- Be careful to install pins and rods with their heads and ends positioned properly.
- Make sure to install a teflon washer (anti-friction) or an anti-swivelling cup whenever specified.
- Lock assembled components using locking pins, lockwires or lockplates and complying with
applicable instructions.
-Upon completion of adjustments, make sure that linkage operate freely with no unwanted
abutment.

COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING :


- Safety measures to be taken for personnel protection (See 01-0).
- Instructions applicable to all works performed on aircraft systems (See 01-0).
- General instructions applicable to starting of aircraft systems and various installations (See 01-0).
- Instructions for use of ground support equipment (See 01-0).

(2) Automatic trim neutral position


-Measure the extension length of the AFU rod on a bench under unloaded conditions
(this length will be called AFU neutral) and make sure that the AFU is at the theoretical
center-to-center distance of 666 mm (26.220 : in) so as to freely insert the pins.
+ 0 +0
-Pin bellcrank 19.
-Set the Arthur device to the low ratio.
-Install the AFU (in correct direction).
Do not alter its adjustment; otherwise, carefully adjust the trim actuator end fitting, then, if ne¬
cessary, adjust the AFU length (micrometric adjustment)
within the theoretical dimension (666 mm (26.220 ^z. jn)) so as to freely insert the
pins. + 0 +0
-Unpin bellcrank 19.
-Check the LH stabilator setting which should be - 1"30'.
-Set the Arthur device to high ratio.
-Measure the extension length of the AFU rod (this length should be equal to that meas¬
ured on bench under unloaded conditions).
-Check that the automatic trim neutral position corresponds to the LH stabilator setting
of - 1°30' ± 5' (i.e., the stabilator setting angle does not change upon changeover from low
Arthur to high Arthur).
-Check that bellcrank 19 can be freely pinned.
-Unpin bellcrank 19.
-Set the Arthur device back to low ratio.
(3) Operate the trim actuator to set the stabilators to neutral.
-Measure the control stick deviation from the position occupied upon pinning of bell¬
crank 19. The deviation should be 23.7 ± 0.3 mm (0.933 ± 0.011 in).

(4) Operate the trim actuator over its whole travel

-Check that the following stabilator deflections are obtained:


-nose-down: > 2°30'
-nose-up: ^ 13°30'.
-Check that the AFU remains set to neutral for both extreme positions of the trim actuator
(i.e., check that the rod extension length is the same as that measured upon installation of the
AFU).
-Check that the trim indicator bar moves to neutral when the stabilator is positioned be¬
tween - 1 "30 and - 2°.
C - Between Amédée bellcrank and stabilators

-Measure the stabilator servo-control stop-to-stop range


-Successively set each servo-control to its travel limit stops by slowly actuating the
slide valve by hand and measure the corresponding stabilator deflections. Such deflections are
used to determine the servo-control clearances with respect to the theoretical stabilator de¬
flections (without damping).
NOTE: Before proceeding to nose-up deflection, set the control stick to full nose-up position
so as to avoid interference between pitch servo-control and releasable bellcrank.

D Between Amédée bellcrank and auxiliary servo-control

- Remove micrometric rods 8 and 9, after marking their respective positions (LH or RH).
- Make sure that the linkage is not pinned downstream of the auxiliary servo-control.
- Measure the auxiliary servo-control stop-to-stop range.
- Successively set the auxiliary servo-control to its travel limit stops by slowly actuating the
slide valve by hand and check that micrometric rods 8 and 9 can be mounted for each of these positions
(be careful not to invert the RH and LH rods). This operation is intended to make sure that the
auxiliary servo-control stop-to-stop range is within the stabilator servo-control stop-to-stop ranges.
- Install micrometric rods 8 and 9.
- Set the auxiliary servo-control to its travel limit stops and measure the corresponding stabi¬
lator deflections :

+ 20'
- nose-down : + 5 30' _o
- nose-up:- 19° +*5'

A 10' nose-down clearance should be obtained.


Such values are used to determine the auxiliary servo-control clearances with respect to the stabila¬
tor theoretical deflections (without damping) ; they also permit checking of the clearances between
auxiliary servo-control and stabilator servo-control stop-to-stop ranges.
E Adjustment of dashpot clearances
- Install and adjust the dashpot rod end fitting so as to equalize the clearances, taking the stabilator
deflections as a basis. Adjustment check is to be performed as follows : move the control stick to full
nose-up position, being careful to hold it fully deflected to ensure abutment of the auxiliary servo¬
control slide valve and check that a minimum dashpot clearance of 0.1 mm (0.003 in) is obtained when
the connecting pin on bellcrank side is removed. Perform a same check by moving the control stick to
full nose-down position.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
PERFORM THIS OPERATION WITH GREAT CARE, DUE TO LIMITED CLEARANCES.

- Following adjustment of the end fitting, tighten and safety the locknut. Refer to «Replacement»
paragraph in «Removal - installation of dashpot» sheet (see 04-2).

F Linkage deflection check

- Withdraw the control stick stops.


- Pin the roll linkage to neutral and remove all other rigging pins.
- Move the control stick very slowly so as to set the auxiliary servo-control to its travel limit stops
(nose-up and nose-down) and check that :
-the same deflections are obtained as during auxiliary servo-control stop check.
- Control stick deflections should be as follows :
- nose-down : higher than 45 mm (1.771 in),
- nose-up : higher than 131 mm (5.157 in).

- Adjustment of control stick stops


- Pin the roll linkage to neutral.
- Access to controistick stops is gained in cockpit.
- Adjust and lock the control stick stops so as to obtain the following stabilator deflections :
- nose-down : + 5° ± 20',
- nose-up : 18° ± 20' ; maximum deviation permitted between stabilators : 10'.
- Set the control stick to 0° ; maximum deviation permitted between stabilators : 5'.
- Set the control stick to full nose-up or full nose-down position ; maximum deviation
permitted between stabilators : 10'.
- Control stick deflections should be as follows :
- nose-down : 39.5 ± 2.5 mm (1 .555 ± 0.098 in),
- nose-up : 127 ± 2.5 mm (5 ± 0.098 in)..

Setting control stick to neutral

-Rotate handwheel clockwise to bring control stick well in nose-up position.


-Continuously rotate handwheel anti-clockwise and note on quadrant the position at
which the force is equal to zero.
-Continue to rotate handwheel until control stick is located well in nose-down position.
-Then, continuously rotate handwheel to bring control stick in nose-up position and note
on quadrant the position at which the force is equal to zero.
-Adjust quadrant so that zero marking on rule is at mid-travel between both positions
noted above.
-Move control stick fully from nose-down to nose-up positions so as to visualize travel
limit stops on quadrant with a view to interrupting force measurement about 5 mm (0.196 in)
before reaching extreme limit stops.

5 - FORCE MEASUREMENT

A - Low ratio

-Perform force measurement as indicated below.


-Move control stick from full nose-down to full nose-up positions and then from full
nose-up to full nose-down positions at the rate of 10 mm (0.393 in) in 4 seconds approx.
(continuous movement).

-Take a reading every :


-10 mm (0.393 in) on quadrant within zero to full nose-up area.
-5 mm (0.196 in) on quadrant within zero to full nose-up area.

-Perform force measurement twice or thrice in each direction, so as to confirm results.

B - High ratio

-Disconnect spring scale from screw jack.


-Set ARTHUR selector switch to "HIGH".
-Check stabilators. Readjust their position, if required.
-Connect spring scale to screw jack.
- Perform force measurement as described above.

6 - CHECKS

Plot force versus travel curves in both directions. Such curves should be comprised within
the envelope curve drawn on the chart. Check that particular points are within tolerances and
check for each point that the difference existing between forward and aft travels is lower than
half the envelope curve deviation.

The essential points to be checked are the forces obtained around neutral position (thres¬
hold) and at travel limits.

4- PROCEDURE

A Principle

Progressively load and unload the stabilator trailing edge then leading edge. Note the deflections
-
as read on dial gauges ; since the load direction was changed during loading, the play at location of the
hinge pin can be determined from the «deflection versus load» curve.

- Loads consist of lead bags or cast iron plates. Intermediate bearing surfaces are located as near as
possible to the root, at 1200 mm (3.94 ft) from the hinge pin towards trailing edge, and at 800 mm
(2.62 ft) towards leading edge. Maximum load force shall be 120 daN (270 Ib.wt) towards trailing edge,
and 180 daN (405 Ib.wt) towards leading edge ; this corresponds to 140 daN (315 Ib.wt) loads located
at 1 meter from hinge pin.

B Operation

(1 ) Apply a 120 daN (270 Ib.wt) load to the stabilator trailing edge.
(2) Reset the dial gauges to zero with 120 daN (270 Ib.wt) load on trailing edge.
NOTE : If any oscillations are visible on the dial gauges, the test must be stopped, gas removed
again and the measurements taken afterwards.

(3) Gradually unload down to zero by steps of 10 daN (22.48 Ib.wt), then load on leading edge side
up to 180 daN (405 ib.wt). Return to initial position, unloading the leading edge and loading the trail¬
ing edge. At each 10 daN (22.48 Ib.wt) step, note the values displayed on dial gauges.

NOTE : Load the container on the leading edge, to prevent it from being unbalanced.

5- ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
NOTE : Since the servo-control cannot be considered as an absolute fixed point, allow for the rod
retraction movement to record the values of the crankpin play curve plot, i.e., deduct the
movement of the servo-control barrel multiplied by the amplification factor of 1 .17 from the
value displayed by the dial gauge at the crankpin.

A On graph paper, plot the «load» curve in relation to travels (see figure 22).

B Observed travels are the sum of bendings and plays : bendings are shown by continuous curves,
plays are expressed by «steps» on the curves ; the height of the steps is equal to the measured play.

C There are two steps : the first one in the direction of increasing loads, and the second one in the
direction of decreasing loads ; consider the higher value only.
D At the location of the hinge pin, the spherical bearing play should be less than 0.2 mm (0.00787 in).
E At the control crank pin, it may be more difficult to read the curve because of more
noticeable bendings ; moreover, steps have become no more than a break of slope. Extend the straight
sections on either side of that discontinuity (they should be nearly parallel) ; measure the distance
between them (see figure 22).
- The clearance should be less than 0.25 mm (0.00984 in).

6- FINAL STEPS
- Remove :
- loads,
- measuring tool, mount, container.
- Install the doors.

- Open the accumulator charging valve by unscrewing the control nut on the valve poppet by
1 1/2 turns maximum (16 mm A/F wrench).

CAUTION :
EXCESSIVE SLACKENING WILL LEAD TO DETERIORATION OF THE VALVE.

- Open valve R1 on the test cock progressively. Monitor the change in pressure and wait one or
two minutes so that pressure stabilizes at 60 ± 3 bar (870 ± 43.5 psi).

NOTE : To preclude an erroneous reading, make sure, upon charging of the accumulator, that its
temperature is practically close to the ambient temperature.

If pressure is too high, close valve R1 and open valve R2.


-
If pressure is too low, regulate nitrogen supply pressure to obtain the desired pressure.
-
- Actuate the pitch damper switch in the cockpit about fifteen times until the pressure stabilizes
on the charging device pressure gauge.
- Close the accumulator charging valve.
- Retighten the control nut on the valve poppet by pulling the poppet axially in order to
facilitate centering on its seat ; tighten it to a torque of 0.500 to 0.870 m.daN (3.6 to 5.7 ft.lb).
- Shut off the nitrogen supply and drop the pressure in the system via valve R2 of the test cock.
- Disconnect the charging device.
-Check charging valve sealing using leak detecting fluid ; also check internal valve sealing by
pressing on the valve core.
- In case of leakage, slack the nut on the valve and rebuild pressure ; tighten the control
nut on the valve poppet while taking the precautions described above. If leakage continues, replace

PITCH CONTROL SYSTEM - PRINCIPLE

(Figure 1)

The rudder control system is operated from rudder pedals 1 through releasable bellcrank 62C and
servo-control 59C actuating the rudder.

An artificial feel unit (A.F.U.) 201C is connected in parallel with rudder control system linkage to
a trim actuator 85C intended to shift A.F.U. zero setting.

Two control modes are available : Manual control and automatic control.

1 Manual control

(Releasable bellcrank 62C released)

Rudder pedal commands and yaw damping and anti-slip signals are transmitted electrically to
servo-control 59C through electrical circuit 1 or 2.

2 Automatic control

(Releasable bellcrank 62C released)

When yaw damper and autopilot are engaged, roll control surfaces and rudder are acted upon by
the autopilot to obtain balanced turns at low IAS with flaps down.

3 Cases of failure

Should both electrical circuits happen to fail, the following is then effected through safety
systems :

- Locking of releasable bellcrank arms


- Rudder directly controlled by rudder pedals (mechanical control).

Yaw damping and anti-slip functions are not available and the autopilot is disengaged.

Should hydraulic system 1 and emergency system happen to fail simultaneously, the system is in
the same configuration as above but half of servo-control nominal force only is available.

System 2 failure has no other effect than reducing servo-control nominal force by half.

RUDDER LINKAGE

(Figures 3 and 4)

The rudder linkage is of the semi-rigid type. It consists of rudder pedals 1, including two pedals the
movements of which are combined through an inter-connecting rod.

Each pedal actuates a quadrant itself driving a steel cable consisting of 3 elements.

These cables transmit pilot's commands to a quadrant 5 located in the fin. A bulkhead connector 4
is used on each cable to provide sealing at cockpit outlet. Two turnbuckles 20 are provided between
frames 20 and 22 for adjusting cable tension.

The linkage is rigid downstream of quadrant 5 and actuates releasable bellcrank 62C.

The releasable bellcrank output arm is connected through a rod to the selector valve of rudder
servo-control 59C, which servo-control directly drives the rudder (connected to udder R/H side).

Quadrant 5 controls the rod of A.F.U. 201C in parallel, the A.F.U. body being connected to trim
actuator 85C.

OPERATION OF RUDDER CHANNEL

Rudder control is obtained by actuating rudder pedals. Automatic control is provided at low IAS
with flaps down to combine roll control and rudder control.

Moreover, the rudder control system performs the following functions :

- Yaw damping function, required for automatic control mode.


- Anti-slip function.

In manual control mode, the power servo-control can be controlled :

either electrically, through releasable bellcrank position pickoff in the case where yaw damping is
-
being effected. In that case, a yaw damping signal is fed together with electrical flight command.
- or mechanically, through the linkage acting directly on servo-control main selector valves when
yaw damping system is failed (releasable bellcrank in locked configuration).

1- MANUAL CONTROL (Figure 5)

A- Releasable bellcrank 62C

Located in the upstream vicinity of power servo-control, the releasable bellcrank is intended to
convert the mechanical flight command transmitted by the linkage into an electrical command intended
to control rudder servo-control 59C.

(1) Description

It is fitted with a dual position pickoff permanently detecting the difference existing between the
positions of arms A and C, i.e. the difference existing between servo-control and linkage positions. Any
deviation causes an electrical signal (intended to cancel such a deviation) to be fed to torque motor 21.

Such a deviation is limited by elastic stops 26 located on releasable bellcrank and is monitored by
safety microswitches detecting any operating trouble likely to cause excessive deviation to take place
between pilot's linkage A and servo-control linkage B.

(2) Operation

Yaw damping is controlled by switch 56C set to «YAW». This causes electricaJly-operated selector
valve 61 C to be energized and therefore releasable bellcrank arms A and B to be hydraulically unlocked.

Any flight command transmitted by the linkage will cause differential displacement of releasable
bellcrank arms A and C to take place. The pickoff will detect that deviation, causing a signal to be fed
by the flying aid rack to the servo-control torque motor. The servo-control moves and then cancels the
deviation existing between both arms.

B Rudder servo-control

Setting switch 56C to «YAW» causes solenoid valve 22 and torque motor 21 to be energized.

(1 ) Normal electrical control through electrical circuit 1

-Switch 56C is set to «YAW».


-Electrically-operated selector valve 61 C is energized and transmits hydraulic pressure fed by
system (sub-system B).
1

- Arm A of releasable bellcrank 62C is unlocked and positioned correctly within stops 26.
- Servo-control solenoid valve 22 is energized (open position).
- Torque motor 21 is energized.

Rudder control is obtained by actuating rudder pedals 1 .

The command is transmitted mechanically to arm A of releasable bellcrank 62C, and then
electrically from releasable bellcrank 62C to torque motor 21 of servo-control 59C.

Barrel 1 :
-System 1 pressure pushes back by-pass valve 23 which then allows hydraulic pressure to be
directed to chamber A or B.
- System 1 pressure, is sent to the servo-valve of torque motor 21 through open solenoid valve 22.
- The flight command and yaw damping signal generated by the flying aid rack is transmitted to
torque motor 21 through electrical circuit 1.
The torque motor flap tilts and blanks off one of the servo-valve nozzles, which causes the pressure
to be directed to one or to the other side of selector valve 24.
The displacement of selector valve 24 causes the hydraulic fluid to be directed to power stage
chamber A or B, therefore causing the servo-control body to move and to drive the rudder. The signal
received by torque motor 21 is then cancelled by potentiometer type sensing system of releasable
bellcrank 62C.

Barrel 2 :
-System 2 pressure pushes back by-pass valve 25 which then allows hydraulic pressure to be
directed to power stage chamber A or B.
Barrel 2 is controlled by common selector valve 24.

(2) Electrical control through electrical circuit 2.

This mode of operation takes place in the case of failure of electrical circuit 1 . Electrical circuit 2
is automatically set into service by the flying aid safety channel.
Servo-control 59C operates in the same manner as with electrical circuit 1 .

(3) Mechanical control (Figure 6)

This mode of operation takes place in the following cases :

- Simultaneous failure of electrical circuits 1 and 2.


- Failure of hydraulic system 1 and emergency system.
- Yaw damper not engaged (switch 56C set to «OFF»).

Electrically-operated selector valve 61 C is connected to reservoir return system.

The arms of releasable bellcrank 62C are locked.

The rudder is then controlled mechanically from rudder pedals up to selector valve 24 of
servo-control 59C (no damping function).

2- YAW DAMPING

Damping signals are sent to servo-control 59C to stabilize the aircraft along its flight path. Such
signals are generated by the flying aids rack from information provided by the yaw rate gyro. They are
fed together with flight commands transmitted by the linkage.

Damping signals cause servo-control 59C to operate as previously described in paragraph B.

3- AUTOMATIC CONTROL

Automatic control can be effected only if the yaw damping system is operating, but it is
independent of the autopilot system.

A Operation

Automatic control takes place as soon as switch 56C is set to «YAW» or to «ANTI-SLIP».

From information fed by an accelerometer system, the flying aids rack generates an anti-slip
signal which supplements the yaw damping signal.

B Electrically-controlled change-over to manual mode

The anti-slip function which causes automatic control to take place is cancelled :
either through pilot's action on rudder pedals (actuation of microswitch located on AFU 201C),
-
- or as soon as the aircraft touches the ground (actuation of microswitch 6 located on LH U/C
shock absorber).

C Mechanically-controlled change-over to manual mode

Such a change-over can be due :


- either to simultaneous failure of electrical circuits 1 and 2,
- or to simultaneous failure of hydraulic system 1 and emergency system.

4- ROLL AND RUDDER CONTROL COMBINATION

Such a combination takes place at low IAS with flaps down when yaw damping and autopilot
systems are operating.

The autopilot supplies the servo-control with a command proportional to the control stick
displacement in roll, so as to obtain a balanced turn (see 13-1 ).

5- RUDDER TRIM SYSTEM (see figure 7)

The pilot is relieved of constant actuation of rudder pedals, in the case of change in aircraft
aerodynamical balance, through the use of trim actuator 85C. Such a trim actuator provides the
possibility of obtaining zero load setting of artificial feel unit (AFU) (201 C) for any rudder position.

A Rudder trim control

The trim system is controlled either manually or automatically (with anti-slip function selected).

AVIATION^P3^^"^

....... .ai nl
Restricted MANUAL 04

(1) Operation in manual mode

Trim actuator 85C is controlled from «RH - LH» control switch 84C located on LH cockpit
console. The «anti-slip» relay 200C being de-energized, the trim actuator extends or retracts its rod in
accordance with contacts made by the control switch.

When no load is applied on pilot's control (A.F.U. set to zero load configuration), the actuator rod
drives the whole rudder channel from rudder pedals up to servo-control.

(2) Operation in automatic control mode

Automatic control is effect by the flying aids (through amplifier 48C) when the anti-slip function
is being selected.

(a) Principle

As soon as an electrical signal, sent to servo-control for correcting slipping, exceeds a given
threshold, the trim actuator is automatically operated through the flying aid rack so as to obtain pilot's
linkage displacement in the same direction as servo-control displacement.

This is intended to obtain between releasable bellcrank arms A and B a sufficient travel range on
either side of middle setting position, which range is provided for servo-control displacements caused by
damping signals. Without such a function, there would be a risk (in the case of high disturbance
entailing simultaneous damping and anti-slip corrections) of causing the operation of one of the
releasable bel Icran safety microswitches, therefore cutting off flight control channel electrical controls
(yaw and roll damping, autopilot and anti-slip functions).

(b) Operation

As soon as the anti-slip is being selected, a signal fed by flying aid amplifier 48C causes «anti-slip»
relay 200C to be energized, which relay causes control circuits to be switched over from manual mode
to automatic mode.

The control signals fed by the flying aids actuate relay 198C or 199C, depending on the direction
in which trim actuator has to move.

Slow trim actuator operation (about 3°/minute) is obtained through a device causing the electric
motor to operate under pulse conditions.

(c) Change-over from automatic to manual control

Manual control is restored in the following cases :

Cancellation of anti-slip function


-
Operation of microswich loctated in A.F.U. 201 C, due to a load applied to rudder pedals.
-
- Operation of LH gear leg microswitch when the aircraft is touching ground.
- Operation of rudder safety device (cancellation of damping function causing autopilot, anti-slip
and automatic trim functions to be no longer available).

Automatic trim safety device

A safety device is provided to cancel the anti-slip function and trim motor electrically power
supply simultaneously in the case where the electric motor is subjected to any incidental double
excitation.

B Rudder trim indicating

Rudder trim indications are provided on trim indicator 82C, indicating trim actuator positions.
This indicator is common to the three trim control systems (yaw, roll and pitch). Trim indications are
supplied by the potentiometer built into the trim actuator and controlling the displacement of a center
bar moving to the right or to the left on the corresponding trim indicator dial.

6- FAILURES

A Hydraulic failure of system 1 and emergency system

Releasable bellcrank 62C becomes automatically locked. The yaw damping or automatic control
function is no longer available and servo-control 59C has its nominal force reduced by 50%.

The «YAW», « ROLL» and « RUD» amber lights come on on failure warning panel 1 W.

B Hydraulic failure of system 2

Such a failure has no effect on rudder control which can be still effected electrically through yaw
damping function but the servo-control has its nominal force reduced by 50%.

C Failure of electrical circuit 1

In the case where a failure causing an excessive difference in position between linkage and
servo-control positions occurs, the flying aid safety channel is set into service through releasable
bellcrank microswitches. Rudder control is then effected by electrical system 2 with «RUD» light
coming on on failure warning panel 1 W.

D Electrical power supply failure (circuits 1 and 2)

- Electrically-operated selector valve 61C is de-energized and causes arm A or B of releasable


bellcrank 62C to become locked by connecting hydraulic system 1 to reservoir return system.
- Solenoid valve 22 is no longer energized (closed) and torque motor 21 is no longer fed with any
command.

This results in mechanical control without damping configuration. The «YAW» and «RUD» amber
lights come on on failure warning panel 1 W.

NOTE : When a failure occurs, the pilot has at its disposal servo reset button 54C which allows the
failed channel to be reset into service, provided that the causes of failure have disappeared.

Screwed onto body 1, it allows moving assembly end play to be cancelled and initial setting of
spring 4 to be adjusted.

F Attachment clevis 6

I Screwed onto rod outer end, it is connected to the latter by nut 8. It is used to adjust the A.F.U.
to length in the aircraft.

I It is fitted, as the clevis-shaped body end, with a pin 1 0 and a nut 1 1 .

G Microswitch 9

Microswitch 9 is supported by an angle 12 attached to body 1 through two screws 13 and two
tabwashers 1 4.

The assembly is protected by cover 1 5 attached to the angle through three screws 16, each of these
screws being fitted with a washer 17.

An electrical cable ended by a connector is used to connect the microswitch to the aircraft
electrical system.

3- OPERATION

In rest configuration, the A.F.U. rod is held in neutral position due to spring initial setting.

This initial setting corresponds to A.F.U. threshold.

Any load higher than threshold value causes the A.F.U. rod to move in one direction (extension or
retraction).

-Check removed parts for external condition, making sure that the various rubbing sur¬
faces do not show evidence of deep scratches or flaking of chromium-plating coat protecting
the rod.
-Systematically replace bearing rings 18 and 19.
-On both stops 3, blend out the edges of any marks caused by the spring if the depth of
the indentations does not exceed 0.3 mm (0.012 in); otherwise, replace the stops.
-Install bracket 12 on body 1 with screws 13 and 14.
-Place a flat-feeler dial indicator support tool (similar to the one shown in figure) on
bracket 12.
-Insert rod 2 in body 1 and measure the rod radial play in its bore by means of the dial
indicator (see figure).
The play should be less than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). If a higher value is recorded, send the
equipment to the next higher maintenance line.
-Withdraw rod 2, then remove the tool and bracket 12 from body 1 .
-Check that the free length of spring 4 is comprised between 85.1 and 88.6 mm (3.318
and 3.455 in).
-Scrap any spring whose characteristics are not comprised within above tolerances.
-Check the bearing faces of nuts 7 and 5 and of nut 8 and clevis 6 which should show
no evidence of distortion, burrs or dents; otherwise, replace nut 7 or 8 and attenuate the de¬
fects on nut 5 or clevis 6 bearing face without modifying the perpendicularity of the face in re¬
lation to the axis of the part.
-Using a cloth smeared with a slight amount of grease MIL.G.4343B lubricate the springs
and internal components of the equipment, then remove any excess grease from the sliding
surfaces so as to prevent grease accumulation at the internal stops or in the ring grooves. EX¬
CESS GREASE IS DETRIMENTAL TO AFU OPERATION.

5 - ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Upon assembly, lightly lubricate the threads of body 1 and rod 2.

-With rod 2 gripped in a vice fitted with fiber jaws, successively install first stop 3, spring
4 and second stop 3 on the rod.
-Screw and tighten nut 21 (wrench MHJ 100-21) until dimension B measured before di¬
sassembly is obtained.
- Fit new lockwasher 33.
-Screw and slightly tighten nut 20 (wrench D23) while holding nut 21 (wrench MHJ
100-21).
-Screw nut 7 onto body and insert moving assembly in body. Then, screw nut 5 until its
inner face comes just into contact with the stop (which causes any end play between body
and rod to be cancelled).
-Moderately tighten nut 7 while holding nut 5. ,
-Screw nut 8 onto rod threaded end. Then, screw clevis 6 (without trying to obtain an
exact center-to-center distance) and screw nut 8 on the latter.
-Install the bracket-microswitch-electrical cable assembly and attach it by means of two
screws 1 3, each of these screws being provided with a new tabwasher 1 4.

NOTE: Tabwashers will be bent and cover 1 5 will be installed only after AFU tests.

C Ground support equipment

- Mechanical test stand MK M043.

3- A.F.U. ADJUSTMENT

A Installation of A.F.U. on test stand

- Mechanical test stand MK M043 should be previsously fitted with all adaptors provided for
A.F.U. installation (See mechanical test stand technical handbook).
- Using the attaching pins belonging to test stand :
- Pin clevis 6 to balance beam.
- Pin body 1 to moving poppet.
- Rotate moving poppet control wheel so as to set the balance beam in horizontal position
(pointer set to zero). The A.F.U. is then set to neutral (no load applied).

NOTE : The ratio available with balance scales hooked to beam ends is 10 : 1 .
The correspondence between the weight placed on one scale and the load applied to the
A.F.U. rod is as follows :
Weight (kg) = 1.02 x load (daN) x 0,1

CAUTION :
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BALANCE BEAM SHOULD BE PINNED BEFORE PLACING
WEIGHTS ON A SCALE OR BEFORE REMOVING THEM, THIS IN ORDER TO PROTECT
COMPONENTS (CLEVIS, END-FITTING, ETC..) FROM DAMAGES DUE TO LARGE
ANGULAR MOVEMENTS.
BALANCE AND COMPONENT FORCES ARE EQUALIZED AFTER WEIGHTS ARE EITHER
PLACED OR REMOVED BY ACTUATING THE MOVING POPPET CONTROL WHEEL UNTIL
THE PIN CAN BE EASILY REMOVED FROM THE BALANCE BEAM.

B Threshold check

- Place a dial indicator provided with a magnetic stand on the test boom, with dial indicator feeler
placed in contact with the bellcrank to which piston clevis is pinned.
- Set dial indicator to zero (approximately to middle point of its whole range).
-Place on one scale a weight corresponding to minimum threshold value, i.e. 19,5 daN
(43.8 Ib.wgt). The dial indicator pointer deflects slightly but such a deflection is not to be taken into
account as it is due to internal component settling.
- Continue to place weights of decreasing value until dial indicator pointer moves sharply.
- Threshold should be obtained with a load of 19,5 to 22,5 daN (43.8 to 50.5 Ib.wgt) applied to
the rod.
-Should threshold be obtained with a load lower than above range, tighten nut 21. On the
contrary, if the threshold is obtained with a higher load, this nut must be loosened.

In both cases :
Remove A.F.U. from test stand MK M043.
-
- Untighten nut 7, then nut 5 (wrench MHC 100-22) and then nut 20 (wrench D23).
- Tighten or untighten nut 21 (wrench MHJ 100-21).
- Tighten nut 20, screw nut 5 until no more end play exists between body and rod and moderately
tighten nut 7.
- Perform threshold check again.

C Check of travel, loads and frictions

- Remove weights from the scale and set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer set to
zero) without applying any load to A.F.U.
- Using a depth gauge, measure dimension A comprised between depth gauge bearing face and
external face of nut 5. Then, pin the balance beam.

(1) to exert a force of 150 daN (337.2 Ib.wgt) on the rod.


Place on one scale a weight likely
Rotate the moving poppet control wheel to equalize forces and unpin the beam.
-
- With the beam in horizontal position (pointer set to zero), slightly act on one side of balance
beam to obtain small rod displacement, and then slowly bring the pointer back to zero by rotating the
moving poppet control wheel. Measure dimension B between depth gauge bearing face and nut 5.
- Slightly act on the other side of balance beam to also obtain small rod displacement and then
reset the pointer to zero by means of moving poppet control wheel. Measure corresponding
dimension C and pin the balance beam.
-The «B-A» and «C-A» values should be comprised between 21 and 25.5mm (0.0826 and
1.003 in).

(2) Perform the same tests by placing the weight on the other scale. The values obtained should be
comprised within same tolerances.

(3) After each test and with balance beam pinned, check that A.F.U. rod travel is equal to 25,5 mm
(1.003 in) in both «rod extension» and «rod retraction» directions.

D Test results

- Out-of-tolerance threshold or end play existing with no load applied : Refer to end of
paragraph 3.B.
- Out-of-tolerance travel : In the case where the travel difference is small, it might be possible to
obtain an adjustment satisfactory for all tests by varying the threshold value. Otherwise, perform spring
replacement.

E Final steps

-With A.F.U. extended, hold nut 21 (using wrench MHJ 100.21) and torque nut 20 to 1.4 m.daN
(10.32 ft.lb) (wrench D23).
- Bend the tabwasher on nuts 21 and 20.
- Remove the A.F.U. from test stand.
- Hold nut 5 (51 mm A/F ring spanner) and torque nut 7 to 2.6 m.daN (19.1 ft.lb) (wrench
MHC 100-22).
- Check that no end play exists between body and rod after tightening.

4- MICROSWITCH CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

- Reinstall the A.F.U. on test stand and connect its electrical connector to test stand test box
supplied with 28 V DC power.
- Set A.F.U. to zero load position and pin the balance beam.
- Remove cover 15 after removing its three attaching screws.

NOTE : This operation should be performed after A.F.U. calibration.

Check that :
- test box light 3 is on when A.F.U. is at rest
- test box light 3 goes out as soon as A.F.U. rod moves by a value equal to or lower than 3 mm
(0.118 in) (retraction or extension).

Also check that :


- once test box light is out, the vertical travel required for the microswitch blade roller to reach the
A.F.U. rod cylindrical section is equal to or higher than 0,4 mm (0.015 in),
-when returning the A.F.U. to zero load position, the vertical travel required for microswitch
roller to obtain maximum blade elongation once test box light has come on is equal to or higher than
0,4 mm (0.015 in).

Such checks should be performed in both «rod retraction» and «rod extension» directions.

Should measured values be found out of tolerance :


-straighten lockplate 28, remove both screws 27 and replace lockplate 28, then reinstall and
slightly tighten both screws 27
- move microswitch 9 and its blade with respect to supporting angle 12 and if required, also move
angle 12 with respect to body until obtaining a position providing for correct operation within above
tolerances
- when satisfactory adjustment is obtained, torque both screws 27 to 2.5 cm.daN (2.21 in.lb) and
then tighten both screws 13
- perform a new check so as to make sure that adjusment is not altered and bend lockplate 28.

NOTE : Perform microswitch and associated blade replacement in the case where correct adjustment
cannot be obtained.

ADJUSTMENT OF RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEM

(Figure 12)

1 - SCOPE

To provide instructions for complete adjustment of control system concerned.

2- GENERAL

The flight control linkage is adjusted in factory using manufacturing tools (such as dummy
servo-controls, micrometric rods, dummy components, etc..) allowing basic linkage adjustment to be
determined and therefore providing for the interchangeability of certain system components.

CONSEQUENTLY, NO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OPERATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT


ON LINKAGE EXCEPT AS REGARDS NORMAL OPERATIONS MENTIONNED IN THE
DOCUMENTATION AND WHICH CAN BE CARRIED OUT WITH NO RISK OF ALTERING THE
INITIAL ADJUSTMENT. In the case where operations are to be carried out on the linkage (structural
repair for instance), which operations require system components to be removed, it is IMPERATIVE
that length and setting of various components should be marked with accuracy before disassembly, or
that manufacturing tools should be used at reassembly so as to restore initial adjustment.

SHOULD A CONTROL BE FOUND OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, DO NOT.ALTER EXISTING


ADJUSTMENT AS LONG AS THE CAUSE OF MISADJUSTMENT IS NOT POSITIVELY
DETERMINED.

The following particular rules should be known and complied with each time operations are being
carried out on the system :

- Apply correct tightening torques to various connecting components (pins - rods). Rods should be
torqued on a bench.
- Use thimbles for mounting the pins, in order to prevent bores from being damaged. Slightly
lubricate pins before their installation.
- Be careful to install pins and rods with their heads and ends positioned properly.
- Make sure to install a teflon washer (anti-friction) or an anti-swivel ing cup whenever specified.
I

- Lock assembled components using locking pins, lockwires or lockplates and complying with
applicable instructions.
- Upon completion of adjustments, make sure that linkages operate freely with no unwanted
abutment.
COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING :
- Safety measures to be taken for personnal protection (See 01-0).
- Instructions applicable to all works performed on aircraft systems (See 01-0).
- General instructions applicable to starting of aircraft systems and various installations (See 01-0).
- Instructions for use of ground support equipment (See 01-0).

4 - PRELIMINARY STEPS

-Remove linkage access doors.

5 - ADJUSTMENT OF LINKAGE BETWEEN RUDDER PEDALS AND FIN

A - Adjustment of rudder pedal linkage (cables not taut)

-Pin both forward quadrants (1) (at the base of LH and RH pedals) (use pins
MS 1390-30-810).
-If necessary, adjust interconnecting rod 2 so that its attaching pins can be installed ea¬
sily.
-Set rudder pedals to "medium pilot's size" setting (5th notch).
-Check "theoretical zero" position of each pedal (5th notch), as determined by the
393.7 mm (15.500 in) dimension between the pedal centerline at R = 380 mm (14.960 in)
and the facing panel of frame 2 (see figure detail A).
-If necessary, adjust length of RH and LH link rods (3) to bring the pedals as close
as possible to "theoretical zero" after changing the rod body lockwasher. Torque the check nut
and bend the lockwasher tabs.
-Install recessed washers, tighten nuts (10 mm socket wrench and 10 mm A/F
wrench) and fit cotter pin.
-Connect the bonding braids.
-Check the deflection of the rudder pedals along their entire travel.
-Retract the two pedal end-of -travel stop screws and install new safeties.
-Unpin the two forward quadrants.
-Note the pedal travels to the right and to the left and check for a deflection of over
70 mm (2.755 in) at structural stop.
-During this operation, check for abnormal friction and hard spots along the entire
travel of the pedals. Make the same check after setting the pedals in short pilot position then
in tall pilot position.

NOTE: During the deflection operations in "tall pilot" position, in case of interference between
the pin ends of the front cockpit rudder pedals and link rods 22, appreciably increase
the theoretical 393.7 mm (15.500 in) presetting dimension (pedal mid-travel posi¬
tion) by adjusting the length of rods 22 (LH and RH) so as to obtain a minimum suffi¬
cient clearance between the components, i.e. 2 mm (0.08 in), within the red mark
limiting maximum unscrewing of the adjustable clevis of each rod.

B - Adjustment of cables
(1 ) Installation of cables

-Check each pulley for freedom of movement.


-Front cables :
-fully screw the end fitting onto the plunger of the pressure seal and install a locking
pin (see figure detail B),
-install the cable ; couple it to the forward quadrant and insert the plunger through,
the pressure seal (oil slightly).

- For intermediate cables :


- couple them to the sealed feedthrough piston. Safety turnbuckles with new pins.

- For rear cables :


- couple them to fin quadrant then connect them to intermediate cables.

(2) Install all cables

- Pin fin quadrant 5 (rigging pins MS 1390-20-830).


- Screw turnbuckles 6 by hand simultaneously without twisting them.
- Check cable routing and especially correct engagement in pulley grooves.
- Unpin fin quadrant.

(3) Cable tension adjustment

- Operate pedals several times, decreasing travel each time, to position cables correctly.
While performing this step, make sure that pedals do not bind or rub, and that all pulleys rotate
freely.
- The sealed feedthrough piston should project by at least 5 mm (0.20 in) with the pedals
in abutment on the left or right and should move correctly.
-The deflection clearance between cables and equipment or structure should be more than
5 mm (0.20 in) in the worst case.

It is therefore necessary to :

- stressresiliently-mounted equipment in the least favorable direction to check cable clearance,


- check position of taped piping and security of taping,
- simulate deflection of movable parts adjacent to cables.

- Cable tension shall be recorded at a temperature of 10° C - 30° C. At other temperatures, correct
per the attached table. Do not adjust tension with the aircraft in the sun, as the influence of the tem¬
perature on cable length relative to structure cannot be controlled.

obtained, and, at the same time, the fin quadrant can- be smoothly pinned (without leaving the pin in
place). Turnbuckle readjustments must be symmetrical (each turnbuckle adjusted by half the amount
required), to avoid loss of previous adjustments (tension/quadrant pinning).

- Male cable terminations must be immobilized (7 mm A/F wrenches) when turnbuckles are being
screwed or unscrewed, to avoid twisting cables.

- Take a number of readings at different points between frames 28 and 30.

- bonding braids are installed and are in good condition.

6- SPECIAL CHECKS

A Cable check

(1) Broken strands

(a) Check cables for fraying. Look for broken strands by rubbing a rag over the whole cable length,
paying special attention to cable sections routed in pulley grooves or through fairleads. The rag will
snag each time one or several broken strands are encountered. Doubtful sections should be inspected,
preferably using a magnifying glass.

(b) Especially check cable sections routed in pulley grooves and through bulkheads. Also check cable
sections rubbing or likely to rub against components.

Perform close examination of doubtful sections ; especially if MOD. FX 288 «Cable fairlead at
frame 28» is NOT INCORPORATED, disconnect aft cable F275-17 and slightly disengage from its
passage at frame 28 for the detection of any abnormal condition at this critical location.

NOTE : This special operation necessitates replacement of the turnbuckle locking pins ad adjustment
of the cable tension during the final steps (see Adjustment of rudder control system).

Replace any cable showing evidence of excessive wear or corrosion (even if the number of broken
strands is within tolerance).

(2) Permissible cable damage

IMPORTANT :
CABLE STRENGTH IS MORE AFFECTED BY A SMALL NUMBER OF BROKEN STRANDS
WITHIN A SHORT SECTION THAN BY A GREATER NUMBER DISTRIBUTED ALONG THE
WHOLE CABLE LENGTH.
A MAXIMUM OF 6 BROKEN STRANDS IS ALLOWED OVER A 25 MM (0.984 IN) SECTION,
PROVIDED THAT SUCH BROKEN STRANDS ARE NOT LOCATED WITHIN A CABLE
SECTION ROUTED IN A PULLEY GROOVE OR THROUGH A FAIRLEAD. A CABLE WITH
BROKEN STRANDS ROUTED IN A PULLEY GROOVE MUST BE REPLACED.

B Check of other components

(1) Turnbuckles

- Check them for condition and correct locking (safety pins).

(2) Pulleys

- Actuate each pulley and check that the side play is less than or equal to 0.4 mm (0.016 in). If
this limit is exceeded, replace the pulley.
- Check the whole pulley for condition, paying special attention to the groove. Any pulley showing
wear caused by defective cables should be systematically replaced.
- On the supports equipped with a fairlead, check for the theoretical clearance of 1.5 mm (0.06 in)
between the cable and the fairlead.

(3) Quadrants

- Check them for condition and security of attachment. Actuate them to check their attaching pins
for absence of play.
- Check-that cables are correctly attached to quadrants (nuts locked by means of locking pins).
- Check_celoron grooves for condition, paying special attention to the areas in contact with cables.

(4) Bulkhead connectors (frame 10)

Perform thorough inspection of LH and RH cockpit bulkhead connectors.


-
- Checkslider assemblies for condition (rubber crazing, ripping, etc.). Also check grommets fitted
to plunger ends. Any doubtful slider will require a leak check to be performed by pressurizing the
cockpit.

B - Setting rudder to neutral


-Set control to neutral with rudder index opposite zero indication on template quadrant.
Check that fin quadrant can be pinned (rigging pin MS 1390-20-830). Trim, if necessary. Ob¬
tain balanced neutral position by performing low-amplitude movements about neutral position.
-Move rudder pedals over their whole travel so as to visualize travel limit stops on qua¬
drant with a view to interrupting force measurement about 1° before reaching extreme limit
stops.

5 - FORCE MEASUREMENT

force measurement as indicated below.


- Perform
-Post an operator at rudder. This operator will give a signal every degree until previously
visualized stop is reached.
-Rotate handwheel so as to pull the pedal and obtain a continuous rudder movement of
about 2° per second, from zero to maximum deflection and return to zero.
-Note values read on spring scale at each signal given by the operator.
-Perform two or three force measurements in the same manner so as to confirm the va¬
lues.
-Connect the tool to the other pedal, then perform the same operations as described for
the previous check.

6 - CHECKS
-Plot force versus travel curves for each pedal. Such curves should be comprised within
the envelope curve drawn on the chart. Because the tool shifts the point of application of rud¬
der pedal forces in relation to the hinge pin, the values recorded in daN must be multiplied by
coefficient 1 .07 so as to be in the same conditions as a force measurement made along the pe¬
dal centerline.
-Check that particular points are within tolerances and check for each point that the dif¬
ference existing between rightwise and leftwise travels is lower than half the envelope curve
deviation.
-The essential points to be checked are the forces obtained around neutral position
(threshold) and at travel limits. The tolerances are provided by the figure.

7 - RESULTS

Should the forces measured:


-be found out of minimum and maximum tolerance values set forth,
-reveal the presence of binding points.

Perform as follows:
-disconnect AFU and move pilot's control,
-check linkage and cables for absence of binding point or friction,
-check and locate component concerned,
-if required, perform AFU disassembly, lubrication and adjustment (See 04-3).

8 - FINAL STEPS

-Disconnect:
-hydraulic power supply,
-electrical power supply,
-Remove flight control rigging device (See 04-1).
-Reinstall:
-seat ejection gun,
-ejection seat (See 09-4),
-canopy (See 03-2).
- Remove
-rudder deflection template.

HIGH-LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM - PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLE

1 - PURPOSE

The high-lift devices are intended to increase aircraft lift during maneuvers performed at low
airspeed. They are divided into three groups : droop slats, slotted slats and wing flaps.

The various types of controls available are as follows :

(1) Manual control («FLAPS/SLATS handle), actuated by the pilot during landing approach and
take-off. The three groups of control surfaces are actuated simultaneously as per a pre-determined
sequence.

(2) Automatic control (COMBAT FLAPS), used in flight to improve aircraft performance within a
well determined airspeed range.

(a) With the «SLAT/FLAP» switch set to «NORMAL» (L/H console), all slats are actuated and this
actuation is limited to a well determined flight envelope (Mach number - IAS - incidence).

(b) With the «SLAT/FLAP» switch set to «NORMAL» and the combat flap lever armed on the
throttle lever, all slats and flaps are actuated and this actuation is connected with a well determined
flight envelope (Mach number - IAS).

2 - PRINCIPLE
Each wing is provided with the following high-lift devices : two types of leading edge slats and
slotted recoiling flaps (inboard and outboard).

A Leading edge slats

(1) Droop slats (inboard)

Such slats extend over two fifths of wing leading edge and are deflected to one position only (25°)
whatever the flight configuration may be (landing, take-off or maneuvers at low or medium airspeed).

They are rotated about a hinge pin attached to wing lower surface (See 03-1 ) and are actuated by
hydraulic jacks controlled from an electrically-operated selector valve.

(2) Slotted slats (outboard)

Such slats extend over three fifths of wing leading edge and are located within droop slat profile.
They can be deflected either to 15° (automatic slat configuration) or to 26° («All extended»
configuration).

They are actuated through tracks moving along a path of rollers integral with wing (See 03-1 ) and
are actuated by screwjacks driven by electrically-operated hydraulic gear reducer actuators.

B Wing flaps

They are slotted recoiling flaps made up of two parts (inboard and outboard) and extending
over two thirds of wing trailing edge (inboard thirds). They can be deflected as follows according to
flight configurations :
- half flaps : inboard flap deflected to 27° and outboard flap deflected to 13°.
- full flaps : inboard flap deflected to 46° and outboard flap deflected to 25°30'.

They move along guide tracks integral with wings (See 03-1 ) and are actuated by single-barrel servo
jacks mechanically controlled by a linkage driven by an actuator.

3- HIGH-LIFT DEVICE CONTROL

A Operation in manual control mode

The high-lift devices are controlled electrically by means of «FLAPS/SLATS» handle 6C which is
provided with three positions :
- forward position : ALL RETRACTED (the handle is protected by a cover in that position).
- center position : 1/2 FLAPS and SLATS fully EXTENDED.
- aft position : FLAPS and SLATS fully extended.

Each droop slat is actuated by hydraulic jack 4C1 or 4C2 which is mechanically locked in
retracted and extended configurations. Control is effected through electrically-operated selector
valve 9C supplying both jacks in parallel and itself operated electrically from handle 6C.

The flaps of each wing are actuated by hydraulic servo jack 1. Control is effected from handle 6C
and through an electric actuator 181C and a spring box inserted in the linkage to take up the necessary
linkage travel. It is then possible to select the desired flap position. The linkage travel is restored
. through spring release as per flap displacement taking place at the speed of the slowest servo jack. The
spring box is also used to protect the electric actuator against linkage jamming.

In ALL RETRACTED and ALL EXTENDED positions, the electric actuator, which is controlled
from handle 6C, causes the spring box to become slightly compressed so as to maintain servo jacks 1
and 2 mechanically locked in either «rod retracted» or «rod extended» configuration.

B - Operation in automatic control mode

(1) The high-lift devices (slats only) are controlled electrically from three-position «SLAT/FLAP»
switch 206C («NORMAL-OFF-EMG RETR»).

In retracted position :

-slats are aligned.

In extended position (flight envelope conditions) :


- droop slats are extended (25°)
- slotted slats are partially extended (15°).

(2) The high-lift devices (slats and flaps) are also controlled electrically from «SLAT/FLAP» switch

C Safety systems (manual and automatic modes)

A limit warning light («LIM») comes on in the case where the flight envelope corresponding to a
given slat or flap deflection is being exceeded.
The slotted slats are actuated by separate gear reducer actuators ; they remain locked in the
position they occupy and «S/F» light comes on if the difference in position becomes higher than 7°
(MODIFICATION 631 NOT INCORPORATED : higher than 4°). They can be however retracted by
setting «SLAT/FLAT» switch 206C to «EMG RETR».

In the case of failure or malfunction of a safety system, full retraction of slaps and flats can be
obtained by setting «SLAT/FLAP» switch 206C to «EMG RETR».

D Hydraulic power supply

All hydraulic components of high-lift control system are supplied from system 1 (sub-system A).

HIGH-LIFT DEVICE LINKAGE

1 - SLATS (Figures 4 and 5)


A Droop slats

The droop slat linkage is of the rigid type (pushing and pulling movements). It is, in each wing,
actuated by a single-barrel single-position hydraulic jack 4C1 or 4C2 controlled by electrically-operated
selector valve 9C.

The linkage consists of :


- two jack output rods
-two bellcranks
- two slat drive rods.

The whole linkage is housed in wings (inboard section), forward of wing structural box.

Slat tilting is obtained through rotation about a hinge pin attached to wing lower surface. Full
deflection is obtained when jacks 4C1 and 4C2 are in «rod fully extended» configuration (stop
position).

The slats are locked in either extended or retracted position through internal locking of hydraulic
jack.

B - Slotted slats

The slotted slat linkage is of the rigid type (rotary movements). It is, in each wing, actuated by
two screwjacks driven by electrically-operated gear reducer actuators 189C and 190C. Each actuator
drives two screwjacks 4-5 and 6-7 through a line of torque shafts, which screwjacks control slat
movement and tilting. This is ensured by means of four curved tracks integral with slotted slats and
moving along a path of four fixed rollers integral with wing.

Slotted slat extended and retracted positions are determined by the travel length of each actuating
screw.

Mechanical travel safety is obtained by means of adjustable stops installed at actuating screw ends
of screwjacks 4 and 6.

The whole transmission system is housed in each wing (forward of wing structural box) and
includes the following for each wing :
- a control shaft, consisting of a series of seven rods 9
- five intermediate bearings 8
- two screwjacks 4-5 or 6-7.

C Slat operating mechanism (Figure 5)

(1) Droop slats

The droop slats, which are hinged over their whole length, are deflected under the action of their
actuating jack when the latter is being operated.

(2) Slotted slats

When driven by the actuating screws of screwjacks 4 and 5 (LH side) or 6 and 7 (RH side), the
slotted slats move along their guide tracks and open a slot between them and the fixed wing slat.

2 - SLOTTED FLAPS (Figure 3)

An electric actuator 181C drives an elastic rod 3. The linkage is then separated into two LH and
RH rigid linkages driving in each wing the input slide valves of single-barrel servo jacks in a symmetrical
manner. Jack-to-flap connection is ensured by means of a rigid type linkage essentially consisting of
bellcranks and rods.

Each flap is fitted at each end rib with a ball-joint swivelling in a front pad, and with a rear roller.
The inboard flap is secured to the wing lower surface through a locking rod connected to a slider in a
retaining fitting located under the wing center track.

3- FLAP OPERATING MECHANISM (Figures 3 and 6)

The flap operating mechanism operates as follows :

- 1 st phase :

the inboard and outboard flap pads and rollers recoil along their guide tracks (beginning of
recoil - level travel), driving the locking rod whose end located on wing starts sliding in retaining fitting.

2nd phase :
-
the rear rollers move down into guide track hooks up to adjustment of rod locking pin, causing
the rod to pivot and become locked onto rear stop.

-3rd phase :
the outboard flap aft roller continues to move in guide track hook while the inboard flap aft
roller leaves the guide track hook.

The line of front pads acts as a hinge about which the flap is pivoted while being retained by the
locking rod.

OPERATION OF HIGH-LIFT DEVICES

1 - GENERAL
Two types of control are available.

A Manual control through «FLAPS/SLATS» handle actuated by the pilot and acting simultaneously
on slats and flaps.

B Automatic control through «SLAT/FLAP» switch.

-The «NORMAL» position alone acts on slats only.


-The «NORMAL» position selected together with COMBAT FLAP mode (lever 7C on throttle
lever) acts simultaneously on slats and flaps.

Automatic retraction and extension phases are connected with flight envelope :

- FLAPS : Mach number and IAS


- SLATS : Mach number, IAS and incidence.

Moreover, the COMBAT FLAP automatic control is effective only in the case where the
«FLAPS/SLATS» manual control is in forward position (All retracted).

2 - OPERATION THROUGH «FLAPS/SLATS» MANUAL CONTROL (Figure 8)

Moving «FLAPS/SLATS» handle 6C from forward (All retracted) to center (1/2) position, causes
full slat extension and half-flap extension to take place.

A- Slats

- HALF-EXTENSION (HE) circuit is energized through microswitch 1 and 3.


- FULL EXTENSION (FE) circuit is energized through microswitch 2.

(a) Slotted slats

Relay K5 in SLAT SERVO unit 193C being normally supplied, extension (E) solenoids (0° to 15°
and 15° to 25°20') in electrically-operated selector valves of gear reducer actuators 189C and 190C
become energized, causing slotted slats to extend.

(b) Droop slats

Simultaneously, the output stage of electrically-operated selector valve 9C is energized through HE


circuit, causing droop slats to tilt.

After extension of droop slats, electrically-operated selector valve 9C remains energized whereas
hydraulic jacks 4C are locked in extended configuration.

During actuation of slotted slats, the extension solenoid S of each gear reducer actuator 189C or
190C is supplied through built-in microswitches 3 and 4, first through HE control circuit and then
through FE circuit after operation of microswitch 3 (slotted slats being extended by more than 15°).
Electrical power" supply is cut off by microswitch 4 when slotted slats reach their fully extended
position (25°30'). Hydraulic supply is cut off and the brake device built into each actuator stops each
actuating assembly.

B- Flaps

(1) Half flaps

After action on handle 6C (to mid position «1/2»), power supply is ensured by microswitch No. 5.
Relay 179C is supplied through half-flap microswitch of microswitch unit 180C and FS microswitch
from electric actuator 181C. Electric actuator supplied through relay 178C not energized, moves and
causes compression of spring box 3 which is connected to the linkage which symmetrically drives the
slide valves of slaved actuators 1 and 2. Flaps begin to slide down. Electric actuator travel is restored
when spring box relieves as much as the slower slaved actuator (1 or 2) moves. After full flat recoil,
which corresponds to full slat deflection, partial deflection of flaps begins.

When flaps are in «half-flap» position microswitches of unit 180C switch over and relay 179C is no
longer energized. Flaps deflection is 28°.

(2) SLAT/FLAP handle in rear position causes flap extension

Once control 6C is set to «fully out» rear position, power supply is ensured through microswitch
No. 7. Relay 179C is supplied through half flap microswitch of unit 180C, and FE microswitch from
electric actuator 181C. When the electric actuator reaches «all down» end of travel, its end-of-travel
microswitch cuts off supply of relay 1 79C.

Slats and flaps remain extended between «1/2» and «ALL DOWN» positions of handle.

C Shifting from rear to mid position causes the flaps to retract

(1) Half flaps

Once handle 6C is returned to half flap position, power supply is ensured through microswitch
No. 6.
Relay 178C is supplied through half flap microswitch of unit 180C and FR microswitch from electric
actuator 181 C. Electric actuator supplied through relay 179C not energized, moves and causes
compression of spring box 3. The flaps move upwards to half flap position. When in that position (29°),
the microswitch of unit 180C cuts off power supply of relay 178C.
The slats remain extended.

(2) Moving «FLAPS/SLATS» handle 6C from center to forward position causes full slat and flap
retraction to take place.

Once handle 6C is returned to its ALL RETRACTED forward position, power supply takes place
through microswitch 4. Relay 178C is energized through relays K5 and K2 of slat/flap servo unit 192C,
half-flap microswitch of unit 180C and retraction limit (RL) microswitch of electric actuator 181 C.
Flaps retract to 0° position and relay 1 78C is de-energized by the limit microswitch.

D - Slat retraction

Once handle 6C is returned to its ALL RETRACTED forward position, power supply takes place
through microswitch 1. De-energized relay K4 of slat/flap servo unit 192C allows the current to flow
towards microswitch 204C through slat servo unit 193C. De-energized relay K2 of slat servo unit 193C
allows the current to flow towards microswitch 8C. When flap deflection becomes lower than 1 7°, these
two microswitches close, allowing the slotted slat gear reducer actuators to be supplied through
relay K5 of slat servo unit 193C.
Droop slat jack electrically-operated selector valve 9C is supplied through microswitch 8C.

At the end of droop slat retraction, the energization circuit of electrically-operated selector
valve 9C is cut off by the limit microswitch of each hydraulic jack 4C1 or 4C2, as soon as locking takes
place.

During slotted slat actuation, the retraction (R) solenoid of each gear reducer actuator 189C or
190C is supplied through microswitches 1 and 2, first through HR control circuit and then through FR
circuit after operation of microswitch 2 (slotted slats being extended by less than 17°).
Electrical power supply to retraction solenoid is cut off by microswitch 1 when slotted slats reach their
fully retracted position (0°).
Hydraulic supply is cut off and the brake device built into each actuator stops each actuating
assembly.

E Emergency retraction (Figure 8)

Should the extended slats and flaps cannot be retracted by means of manual control 6C or
automatic control 7C, full retraction of all slats and flaps can be obtained by means of «SLAT/FLAP»
switch 206C.

This switch allows :

-all slat control and safety circuit electrical power supplies to be cut off and such circuits to be
grounded.
-the retraction (R) solenoid of slats control electrically-operated selector valve to be directly
supplied.
-flap electric actuator 181 C to be directly supplied.
-the energization of electrically-operated selector valve 9C is cut off when both hydraulic jacks AC
are in retracted and locked configuration. On the other hand, the retraction solenoid of each gear
reducer actuator 189C or 190C remains energized (hydraulic motors remaining supplied with pressure)
even after slotted slats have come to a standstill (actuating jacks reaching their mechanical stop
position).
The power supply to electric actuator 181 C is cut off by the retraction limit microswitch.

3- OPERATION THROUGH AUTOMATIC SLAT CONTROL (Figure 9)

A Auto slats

(1) General

This control is used for extension of :

- droop slats by 25°


-slotted slats by 15°.

in a given flight envelope (Mach number, IAS, angle of attack). This function is obtained by setting
switch 206C to «NORMAL» and handle 6C to «ALL IN» front position.

(2) Slat extension

Slat extension is controlled by setting switch 206C to «NORMAL». Energization of solenoids S


controlling slat extension on the various electrically operated selector valves depends upon the
following requirements :
- in high lift device servo unit 192C
- relay K4 de-energized
- in auto slat servo unit 193C
- relay K1 energized
- relay K2 energized if IAS < IAS1 (in air data computer 17F)
or
M < M1 from flying aid amplifier 48C
and
i > i1 from incidence probe 14F
- relay K3 de-energized if IAS < IAS2 in 108C, with 203C and 1 91 C de-energized
M < M2 in 55F
- relay K5 energized.

If all the conditions are met, the 15° extension control circuit droop slat
is energized. The
actuators become locked in extension position and the gear reducer actuators cause the slotted slats to
extend until reaching 15° deflection. Then, on each gear reducer actuator, microswitch No. 3 cuts off
the supply circuit of solenoid S, since full extension circuit is not energized ; relay K4 of unit 192C is
de-energized.

(3) Slat retraction

(a) 1st slat limit (IAS1 >440orM1 >0.98 or i <8°).


+ 28 V passes through microswitch No.1 of high lift device handle 6C, and through a stage of

+ 28 V passes from K4 to de-energized relay K2, through 1st limit datum (IAS > 440 kt or M > 0.98 or
i < 8°). Flap contactor 8C < 1 7° and electrically operated selector valve 9C of droop slat actuators are
energized. Gear reducer actuators 189C and 190C are energized through a stage of relay K5.

(b) 2nd slat limit (IAS>470 kt,or M > 1.13,or i <8°)


From contactor 2 of switch 206C, the + 28 V voltage supplies relay K1 of unit 193C.
From contactor 3 of switch 206C, the + 28 V voltage supplies relay K3 through :
- IAS aneroid 108C (IAS >470 kt)
or
- mach/airspeed indicator 55F (M > 1.13)
- and microswitches 203C and/or 1 91 C.

Once these requirements are met, the + 28 V voltage from K1 supplies the retraction control
circuit through K3 and 8C « 17°). The droop slat jacks become locked in retracted configuration and
the microswitch of each hydraulic jack 4C1-4C2 cuts off the energizing circuit of electrically-operated
selector valve 9C as soon as locking takes place.
The retraction solenoid R of each gearmotor 189C or 190C is supplied through relay K5.
Power supply to the retraction solenoid is cut off when slotted slat retraction is completed (0°).
Should the airspeed become lower than the 2nd limit value, relay K3 is kept self-energized by K1 and
can be deenergized by setting switch 206C to «OFF». Once deenergized, relay K1 cuts off the power
supply to K3.

(c) Control system cutoff

Slat retraction can also be obtained by returning switch 206C to «OFF».


Deenergized relay K1 cuts off the energization of relay K2.
Through relay K4 of unit 192C, the + 28 V voltage supplies microswitch unit 8C (through deener¬
gized relay K2) which supplies the following :
- dual electrically-operated selector valve 9C,
- gearmotors 1 89C and 1 90C through relay K5.

Full slat retraction takes place as per the sequence already described in preceding paragraphs.

B Combat slat/flaps (figures 9 and 10)

General

This function ensures deflection of :


- droop slats to 25'
slotted slats to 25°30' Hull extension
- flaps to 28 (half extension)

within a given flight envelope :

- Mach number, IAS and angle of attack for slats,


- Mach number and IAS for flaps.

5- «SLAT/FLAP» INDICATING SYSTEM (figure 11)

A Slat indicating system

(1) Purpose

Slat indicating system is intended for monitoring slotted and droop slat position, and more
especially mechanical locking of droop slat jacks 4C1 and 4C2 taking place at end of travel. This system
is controlled by microswitches included in gearmotors and hydraulic jacks.

(2) Description

Slat indicating is by three lights (green, amber and red) :


- all lights out : all slats retracted and jacks locked,
- green light on : slotted slats fully extended and droop slat actuating jacks locked in extended
position,
-amber light on : droop slats in extended position but slotted slats only partially deflected,
-red light on : at least one slat is not set to one of the above positions. This light also indicates that
slat operation is either in progress or not completed.

(3) Operation

/\s soon. ..as. .slat extension is initiated, microswitches 5 of gearmotors 189C and 190C and
microswitches 3 of actuating jacks 4C1 and 4C2 operate and cause the red light to come on
(in operation) through microswitch 1 of actuating jack 4C1 .
Microswitches 1 of actuating jacks 4C1 and 4C2 operate as soon as droop slats are locked, but
the red light remains on.

Upon completion of partial slat extension, microswitches 6 of gearmotors 189C and 190C operate
J and cause the «HALF» amber light to come on and the red light to go out, through microswitch 7 of
gearmotor 190C and microswitches 1 of actuating jacks 4C1 and 4C2.

Shortly after slotted slat extension is initiated (partial to full slat deflection), microswitches 6
resume their initial position (cutting off power supply to amber light which goes out) and cause the red
light to come on through microswitches 5 of gearmotors 189C and 190C or microswitches 3 of
actuating jacks 4C1 and 4C2, microswitches 6 and 7 of gearmotor 190C and microswitches 1 of
actuating jacks 4C1 and 4C2.

Upon completion of full slotted slat extension, microswitches 7 of gearmotors 189C and 190C
operate (cutting off power supply to red light which goes out) and cause the green light to come on
(slats extended) through microswitches 1 of actuating jacks 4C1 and 4C2.

B Flap indicating system

(1) Purpose

Flap indicating system is intended for monitoring flap position. It is controlled by microswitches
built into flap indicating microswitch units 2C1 and 2C2 which are connected to flap linkage.
(2) Description

Flap position indication is by three lights (green, amber and red) :


- amber light on : «HALF-FLAP» deflection (microswitches 2 are connected in series with micro-
switch 3 of unit 2C1 which is connected to ground),
- green light on : «FULL-FLAP» deflection (microswitches 3 of units 2C1 and 2C2 are connected
in series),
- red light on : flaps are extended but are not set to one of the above positions. This light also
indicates that flap operation is either in progress or not completed,
- all lights out : all flaps retracted.

The safety warning system includes the «S/F» warning light on failure warning panel 1W, «LIM»
warning light 11W, «cbtF» indicator light 99C on the instrument panel and warning horn 7W, «LIM»
warning light and «S/F» indicator light come on thanks to different relays :
-relay K2( 120 ms)
This relay prevents the 2nd limit system from operating and the «S/F» light from illuminating in
the case where an untimely command is fed by pitot-static switch 56F (contact closing caused by
buffeting vibrations for instance).

relay K6 (4 sec.)
-
This relay prevents the «LIM» warning light from illuminating in the case where combat flaps are
disarmed when 1st limit is being reached. This time delay allows flat travel microswitch 8C to open.

relay K7 (3 sec.)
-
This relay prevents the «LIM» warning light to be illuminated when 2nd limit is being reached,
whereas flaps, which are retracting (< 17°), have not reached yet their portion of flat travel (command
from 1st limit safety system).

A Operating principle of «cbtF» amber light 99C (Figure 12)

- This light indicates that combat slats/flaps are selected through steady illumination.
- It indicates that 1st limit is reached through flashing illumination.
- Flashing illuminataion also indicates that two controls are selected at the same time.

(a) Steady illumination

«FLAPS/SLATS» handle 6C set to forward position (All retracted), lever 7C unlocked and armed
and switch 206C set to «NORMAL».

The + 28 V voltage energizes relay K1 through lever 7C. Relay K10 is energized through stage 4 of
«FLAPS/SLATS» handle 6C. The + 28 V voltage is routed through relays K1 and K10 and through
energized relay K12 (1st limit flight envelope not exceeded) to supply relays K5 and K6. The + 28 V
voltage from lighting control unit ,33 L supplies «cbt F» light 99C through relay K5 (steady
illumination).

(b) Flashing illumination

1st limit system operated.


Relay K12 is de-energized (1st limit flight envelope), causing relays K4 and K5 to be de-energized.
Through lever 7C, the + 28 V voltage is routed through one stage of de-energized relay K4 to energize
relay K1 1 and supply the flashing unit. « cbt F» light 99C is supplied with a + 28 V voltage fed by
lighting control unit 33L and routed through the stage of relay K11 and one stage of de-energized
relay K5. «cbtF» light 99C flashes.

(c) Illumination caused by double selection of controls.

Lever 7C is unlocked and armed while «FLAPS/SLATS» handle 6C is set to its center or aft
position.
Relay K10 is not energized. Relays K4 and K5 are de-energized.
Relay K1 1 and the flashing unit are supplied through K4. «cbtF» light 99C flashes.

The 1st limit system having operated, the flaps retract normally. Microswitch 187Cisopen « 17°).
Microswitches 183C and 8C are open and time relay K7 (3 sec.) is energized if the 2nd limit is reached.
The 3-sec. time delay prevents the «LIM» warning light from being illuminated by the 2nd limit system
when flaps are retracting without having reached their flat travel portion (command from 1st limit
system).

The 1st limit system has operated but lever 7C is disarmed the moment the 1st limit is passed.
Relay K1 is de-energized. Microswitch 8C is closed. Relay K12 is de-energized by the 1st limit system.
Time relay K6 is de-energized 4 sec. after lever 7C is disarmed. If microswitch 8C is still closed, the
«LIM» warning light is connected to ground through de-energized relay K6. The «LIM» warning light
comes on and the warning horn operates.

The 2nd limit system has operated.

Without time delay

-Microswitch 187C is closed (flaps > 17°). The + 28-V voltage from 56F (M >0.85) or K9
(IAS > 335 kt) energized K3. The «LIM» warning light is connected to ground and comes on
immediately. The warning horn operates. As soon as flap deflection reaches the 17° position, the «LIM»
warning light goes out because time relay K7 (3 sec.), which is operated by the 2nd limit system, is not
closed yet.

With time delay


-
- Microswitch 187C is open (flaps < 17°). Time relay K7 (3 sec.) is energized upon operation
of 2 nd limit system.

If, after 3 sec, microswitch 183Cis closed for a slat deflection greaterthan 19°, energized relay K7
energizes relay K3. The «LIM» warning light is connected to ground and comes on. The warning horn
operates. But, if 8C is closed (half-flaps or flaps retracting -slats < 19°), energized relay K7 causes the
«LIM» warning light to be connected to ground through the control circuit of K8. The «LIM» warning
light comes on and the warning horn operates.

F LAP SPRING BOX

(Figure 18)

1 - GENERAL
The flap spring box is intended to take up electric actuator lengthening or shortening and then to
restore progressively such variations as flaps are being actuated.

2- DESCRIPTION

The spring box consists of :


- body 1
-rod 2
- two sliders 3 and 4
- spring 5
- stop 6
- two attachment clevises 7 and 8.

A - Body 1

One body end is blanked off by attachment clevis 7 and the other end is provided- with a hole
intended for the passage of stop 6 screwed onto rod 2. The body contains the spring box component
items.

B- Rod 2

Shouldered at one end, it slides in the cylinder and its displacement in either direction drives
slider 3 or 4, therefore causing spring 5 to become compressed.

C- Sliders 3 and 4

They act as a seat to spring 5. Their outer surface is provided with two machined grooves, each of
these grooves being fitted with a teflon washer 16. These teflon washers are intended to reduce frictions
between sliders and body. For identical reasons the inner surface is provided with two machined
grooves, each of these grooves being fitted with a teflon washer.

D Spring 5

Bearing on both sliders 3 and 4, it is more or less compressed depending on spring box lengthening
or shortening value.

E--Stop6

Screwed onto rod 2, it is secured to the latter through nut 10. The stop inner face, which is in
contact with slider 4, drives the latter during spring box shortening.

F Attachment devises 7 and 8

Clevis 7, which is screwed into body 1, is secured to the latter through nut 9. It allows moving
assembly end play to be cancelled. The other clevis 8 is screwed onto the outer end of rod 2 and is
secured to the latter through nut 11. Each clevis is fitted with attaching pin 12, washer 13, nut 14 and
locking pin 15.

3- OPERATION

As soon as a load higher than threshold value is being applied, the spring becomes compressed and
the spring box takes up corresponding linkage travel. It can restore taken-up linkage travel progressively
with an almost constant load applied, until initial center-to-center distance is obtained.

CALIBRATION CHECK OF FLAP SPRING BOX

(Figure 18)

1 - SCOPE

To perform spring box calibration check in the case where the spring box has been completely
disassembled for servicing and lubrication.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Special tools
-Tool kit F1-CVD

B Standard tools
- Torque wrench kit : 2 to 20 m.daN (1 5 to 1 50 ft.lb)

C Ground support equipment


-Mechanical test stand MK M043.

3- PROCEDURE

A Installation of spring box on test stand

Mechanical test stand MK M043 should be previously fitted with all adaptors provided for spring
box installation (See mechanical test stand technical handbook). Using the attaching pins belonging to
test stand, pin clevis 8 to balance beam and clevis 7 to moving poppet.

Rotate moving poppet control wheel so as to set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer
set is then set to neutral (zero load applied).
to zero). The spring box

NOTE : The ratio available with balance scales hooked to beam ends is 10/1 .
The correspondence between the weight placed on one scale and the load applied to the
spring box rod is as follows :
Weight (kg) = 1 .02 x load (daN) x 0,1 .

CAUTION :
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BALANCE BEAM BE PINNED BEFORE PLACING WEIGHTS
ON A SCALE OR BEFORE REMOVING THEM. THIS IN ORDER TO PROTECT COMPO¬
NENTS (CLEVIS, END-FITTING, ETC..) FROM DAMAGES DUE TO LARGE ANGULAR
MOVEMENTS.
BALANCE AND COMPONENT FORCES ARE EQUALIZED AFTER WEIGHTS ARE EITHER
PLACED OR REMOVED BY ACTUATING THE MOVING POPPET CONTROL WHEEL UNTIL
THE PIN CAN BE EASILY REMOVED FROM THE BALANCE BEAM.

Restricted MANUAL 04

B Threshold check

- Place a dial indicator provided with a magnetic stand on the test boom, with dial indicator feeler
placed in contact with the bellcrank to which clevis 8 is pinned.
- Set dial indicator to zero (approximately to middle point of its whole range).
-Place on one scale a weight corresponding to minimum threshold value, i.e. 13.5 daN
(30.34 lb. wgt). The dial indicator pointer deflects slightly but such a deflection is not to be taken into
account as it is due to internal component settling.
- Continue to place weights of decreasing value until dial indicator pointer moves sharply.
- Threshold should be obtained with a load of 13.5 to 16.5 daN (30.34 to 36.09 Ib.wgt) applied to
the rod.
- Perform the same check by placing weights on the other scale.

C Check of travel, loads and frictions

- Remove weights from the scale and set the balance beam in horizontal position (pointer set to
zero) without applying any load to the spring box.
- Using a depth gauge, measure dimension «A» between depth gauge bearing face and body exter¬
nal face. Then pin the balance beam.

(1 ) Place on one scale a weight likely to exert a force of 25 daN (56.2 Ib.wgt) on the rod. Rotate the
moving poppet control wheel to equalize forces and then unpin the beam.

-With the beam in horizontal position (pointer set to zero), slightly act on one side of balance
beam to obtain small rod displacement and then slowly bring the pointer back to zero by rotating the
moving poppet control wheel. Measure dimension «B» between depth gauge bearing face and spring box
body.
- Slightly act on the other side of balance beam to also obtain small rod displacement and then
reset the pointer to zero by means of moving poppet control wheel. Measure corresponding dimension
«C» and pin the balance beam.
-The «B-A» and «C-A» values should be between 22.5 and 41.5 mm (0.885 and 1.634 in).

(2) Perform the same tests by placing the weight on the other scale. The values obtained should be
within same tolerances.

(3) After each test and with balance beam pinned, check that spring box rod travel is equal to 48 mm
(1.889 in) in both «rod extension» and «rod retraction» directions.

D Test results

- Out-of-tolerance threshold or out-of-tolerance travel :


- replace the spring.

FINAL STEPS

-Remove the spring box from test stand and grip it in vice support (MHC 31 0-41 ).
-Torque nut 9 to 2.75 m.daN (20.28 ft.lb). Check that there is no end play between
body and rod after tightening.
-Bend lockplate 18 tabs.
-Untighten nut 11, screw or unscrew clevis 8 so as to obtain center-to-center distance
measured before disassembly, tighten nut 11 and torque to 1.1 m.daN (97.36 in.lb) (wrench
D012) while gripping clevis 8 in vice support .MHC 310-41. Lockplate 17 shall be bent after
installation of spring box in aircraft.
-Lockwire nut 9.
-Clean and dry attaching pins 12, washers 13 and nuts 14.
-Slightly lubricate both attaching pins and install them on clevises 7 and 8. Install wash¬
ers and screw nuts (do not tighten).
-Fit and lockwire a new locking pin to each attaching pin.

Check the whole spring box for:


-general condition and condition of protections,
-proper locking of parts.

ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM


(Figure 27)

1 - PURPOSE
To provide instructions for wing-by-wing positional adjustment of inboard and outboard flaps
and adjustment of fuselage control linkage.

2- GENERAL
- When adjusted, the flap control determines basic control linkage adjustment to insure
interchangeability of certain system equipment.

IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL NEVER TO INTERFERE WITH THE EXISTING


ADJUSTMENT OF A MISADJUSTED CONTROL UNTI L THE CAUSE OF
MISADJUSTEMENT HAS BEEN FIRMLY ESTABLISHED.

- Any work or corrective action on the system involves knowledge and observance of certain
special regulations.
- Correct application of tightening torques to linkage components (pins, rods). To avoid
hardening teflon-coated ball joints, castle nuts will not be fully torqued. After snugging,
use the first pin hole to LOOSEN. On self-locking nuts, check for adequate play after snugging.
Rods will be torqued on a tabletop.
- Use of pilot bushing to fit pins, in order to prevent damage to bores. On installation, pins used
to couple components shall be lightly coated with neutral petrolatum.
- Correct assembly of pins and rods, in required direction.

- During assembly of components, install safeties (pin, wire, washer), per instructions (see
Manual 01-0-02).

OBSERVE :

- Personnel protection safety measures (see Manual 01-0-02).


- Instructions to be followed during work on systems (see Manual 01-0-02).
- General startup instructions for the aircraft and systems (see Manual 01-0-02).

- Instructions for use of tooling and support equipment (see Manual 01-0-02).

6- ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM IN FUSELAGE


A Adjustment of fuselage linkage
This operation is to be performed with wing linkage already adjusted.
-
Sprina box not installed or disconnect.
-
Stop 9 withdrawn (screwed to its maximum).
-
- Pin bellcranks 3 and 4 (pin MS 1390-20-810) and bellcranks 10 (pin MS 1390-40-820).
- Adjust and install rods 8 in available center-to-center distance.
-Adjust and install rod 6 or 5 so as to position triple bellcrank 7 as close as possible to its
theoretical position (tilt angle : 17° ± 30'). This tilt angle corresponds to a center-to-center distance of
76.6 mm (3.016 in) between triple bellcrank and inner face of frame 29; For that operation, use a
locally-made template (see figure).
- Adjust and install the second rod in available center-to-center distance.
-Check that LH and RH linkage movement (link rods 11 not connected to jack slide valve) is
obtained with a force less than 1 daN (2.248 Ib.wgt) applied to triple bellcrank 7 (50 mm (1.968 in)
radius).
NOTE : Before installing rods 11, make sure that :
- they are to the latest standard, i.e., the height of each clevis check nut should be 5 mm
(0.197 in). (Nut P/N 22431BC060LE and L22432BC060LE LH threads),
- a Teflon washer is fitted on each pin (nut side).

Pin bellcranks 3 and 4 (no play) (use dia. 8.1 mm or 8.2 mm pins).
-
-Apply hydraulic pressure to system 1 and adjust both rods 11 so as to obtain a 0.1 mm
(0.004 in) clearance between slide valve bellcrank and its stop screw, which must not be out of adjust¬
ment.

NOTE : Check that there is no interference with flap drive lever 12.
- Install spring box 2 after loosening clevis side nut (A), without altering factory center-to-center
distance.
- Unpin bellcranks 3 and 4.
- Install a dummy electric actuator, or the adjustable rod (50 MS 067).
- Move flaps through full travel, and check that, for all positions, dissymetry is less than 1°.

-Remove pin of rod 1 1 at flap hydraulic jack and record the flap extension angle obtained
with jack abutting. Perform same measurement on RH side.
- Reinstall pins of rods 1 1 .
-Adjust stop 9 so as to obtain 46°30' ± 30' flap deflection (LH and RH flaps). Complete
adjustment to bring the flap with the smaller deflection angle as close as possible to 46°, so as
to obtain the best possible clearance with respect to hydraulic jack (at least 30').
B - Spring box adjustment
-Remove adjustable rod 50 MS 067.
-Install electric actuator (see 04-4).
-Control flap retraction and measure spring box 2 extension travel. Use a cylindrical mea¬
suring rod mounted in place of pin, with no clearance.
-Control full flap extension (until bellcrank 7 abuts against screw 9) and measure rod
compression travel.
-If necessary, readjust the pin-to-pin distance to obtain:
-extension: 1.5 + 05 mm (0.059+ 0019 in) (flaps retracted)
- 0.7 - 0.027
-compression: £ 0.1 mm (0.004 in) (flaps extended).
-Adjust the length of the remaining spring box, acting on flat sections P after nut A is
loosened. DO NOT ACT ON NUT B. Rotate the rod.
Lockwasher

-Control full flap retraction and check that a 0.04 mm (0.002 in) shim cannot pass bet¬
ween slide valve bellcrank and its stop screw on each jack (synchronization check).
- Remove the rod and apply a torque of 1 .1 m.daN (97.36 in.lb) to the nut of clevis A.
-Bend the lockwasher tabs.

7 - ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM IN WINGS


-This operation may be performed partially with the wings in place or removed.
A - Wing linkage
-Wing actuator not installed.
-Pin bellcranks 12 (rigging pin MS 1390-40-810) 16, 19 and 21 (rigging pin MS 1390-
40-830).
-Adjust rod 18 as close as possible to dimension determined through pinning of bell¬
cranks 1 9 and 1 6 (adjust to ± 1 /2 turn).
-Unpin bellcrank 19 to connect it to rod 18 and adjust rod 20.
-Install in place of actuator a rigid rod with pin-to-pin distance L = 399.6 mm
(15.732 in).
NOTE: Length L = 399.6 mm (1 5.732 in) is equivalent to the minimum length of an actuator.
At this length, structural clearance can be insured in retracted position in all circum¬
stances.

-Adjust rods 13 and 15.


NOTE: Before installing rod 13, make sure that it is to the latest standard, i.e., a washer
(F1 772504M1 ) is added between the lockwasher and the nut of each rod end.

plication of pushing forces for taking up play).
The center rod can be adjusted a half-turn only, and requires flap removal.
-Torque locknut to specified value while keeping the components correctly orientated.

NOTE: The adjustment of L slightly modifies L2 and vice versa.

-Record deviation "e" between dimension L actually obtained and theoretical dimension

up play).

NOTE: The inboard drive rod is a micrometric rod and can be adjusted to length without dis¬
connecting the flap from the control linkage.

-Prior to installation of the rod to be adjusted :


-Equalize the thread protrusions (end fitting and clevis).
- Position the safetying slots (end fitting and clevis) on wing upper surface side.
-Place the non-bent retainer tabs on wing root side.
-Perform this adjustment using the compensated adjustment value table (L1 - L2 - L3).
-Torquing of the inboard drive rod locknuts to the specified value increases dimen¬
sion L2 by 0.2 mm (0.008 in).
-After adjustment of the inboard flap drive rods, the inboard flap must be removed before
final assembly to tighten and safety the locknuts.

NOTE: Check that the web of the channel-section track does not contact the tabs of the in¬
board drive rod locknut retainers (position the safetying slots on wing lower surface
side).

- Remove the rod to tighten the check nuts to 10 m.daN (73.75 Ib.ft). Take the same precautions
as for pre-tightening and check that the position of 'the end-pieces does not change.

(b) Final checks after safetying the retaining rod end-pieces.

- With flap set at 12° ± 30' and plays taken up towards the rear, the 0.05 mm (0.002 in) shim
tool should just fit between the roller and the track lower flange, and should slip freely
between the roller and the upper flange.
- Cycle the flaps with plays taken up towards the rear as previously indicated; check that in the
shoulder area of the track, the roller moves FREELY along the lower and upper flanges.
Check, in particular in the positions corresponding to deflections equal to or higher than 10°
that the roller cannot come into contact with the track upper flange.
- Retract and extend the flaps several times, taking up the plays, then leaving the flap in its
off-load position; check that the roller still moves FREELY in the track. Look for any
possible binding point between the moving components and the fixed structure (in particular,
check that the retainers are correctly lowered on the flap drive rods).
- Record the flap maximum deflection angle (flap against structure). The angle should be
greater than 49°. (Normally, structural stop is between the center pad and the track
shoulder).

ADJUSTMENT OF HIGH-LIFT DEVICE MICROSWITCHES

1 - SCOPE

To provide an adjustment procedure for high-lift device control microswitches in the case
where one of these microswitches is being changed or checked.

2 - GENERAL

Microswitch adjustment consists in obtaining electrical tripping for a given slat or flap
position and in ensuring a minimum excess travel of 0.5 mm (0.019 in) of the roller, beyond
electrical tripping point. This excess travel allows clearance "J" to be determined.

J
Clearance. J = 0.1 to 0.6mm
(0.004 to 0.023 in)

if Excess travel > 0.5 mm (0.019 in)


Electrical tripping

M
Checking of excess travel

When the microswitch roller is actuated by the cam movement, if clearance "J" becomes
higher than 0.6 mm (0.023 in) after electrical tripping (this particularly applies to microswitch
204C), it may be necessary to determine the maximum permissible value of "J".
Proceed as follows : Using a set of shims, determine minimum thickness "E" which, once
inserted within clearance "J", does not allow contact electrical tripping to be obtained any
longer when the roller is actuated by hand from its free position. Excess travel adjustment will
be considered correct if, for any controlled position of roller, clearance "J" remains comprised
between 0.1 and (E-0.5) mm (0.004 and (E-0.019) in).
In the case where clearance "J" cannot be measured with microswitch installed in aircraft
(this is the case of microswitch 183C), clearance "F" available between roller and cover when
clearance "J" is equal to zero should be known. Excess travel adjustment will be considered
correct if, for any controlled position, the clearance between cam and cover is comprised be¬
tween (F + 0.1) and (F + 0.6) mm (F + 0.004) and (F + 0.023) in).
A higher clearance will be permitted between cam and cover if thickness "E" (defined in
preceding paragraph) has been measured, i.e. (F + E - 0.5) mm ((F + E - 0.019) in) in¬
stead of (F + 0.6) mm (F + 0.023) in).

Cover.

Checking of excess travel upon cutting-in.


If released roller still remains in contact with its control, check that the contact is not
tripped when a 0.3-mm (0.01 1 -in) shim is passed between control and released roller.
While performing these operations, take all safety measures applicable to system con¬
cerned (See 01-0).

CHECK OF HIGH-LIFT DEVICE CHAIN
USING SLAT/FLAP TEST BOX

1 - SCOPE

To check for operation of the SLAT/FLAP SERVO UNIT and of SLATS SERVO UNIT and
peripheral devices which make up the high-lift device system.

2- GENERAL

TAKE THE SAFETY MEASURES APPLICABLE TO THE SYSTEM (See 01-1).

3- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

- Slat/ Flap test box


- Hydraulic power supply.
1 15-200 V/400 Hz electrical power supply.

- Pressure generator.

4- PRELIMINARY STEPS

- Open the equipment bay door.


- Remove the incidence probe cover.

5- SLAT/FLAP TEST BOX - GENERAL

A Coupling

The slat/flap test box is coupled to the equipment item to be checked through flaps cord or slats
cord.

P1 and P2 connectors or slat/flap test box are connected :


- either to combat slat/flap unit 192C and to aircraft systems through flap cord MEM 140 04-01 ,

- or auto slat servo unit 193C and to aircraft systems through slat cord MEM 140 05-01 .

B Measurements

Measurements are selected through switch SW4 which delivers the signals to be measured to
voltmeter M1 (positions 1 to 12 on SW4) and to digital voltmeter DS27 (positions 2 to 5 on SW4).

The center zero voltmeter is fitted with :


- two graduated scales :
- upper scale from - 100% to + 100%,
- lower scale from 3 V to + 3 V,
- two gages (15 V and 30 V) selected automatically according the switch SW4 setting.

The voltmeter displays, when set to :
- positions 1 to 3 : supply voltages,
- position 4 : a voltage proper to its related measurement circuits,
- positions 5 and 6 : «S/F ARMED» light supply voltages,
- positions 7 to 1 2 : A/C signals shown on the illustration.

The stop-watch has three digits for displaying the hundredths of second. It indicates :
- when set to positions 2 and 3 : time delays (electronic circuits inside combat slat/flap unit),
- when set to positions 4 and 5 : times (hydraulic circuits) required for :
- retraction of flaps from 27° to 0°
-retraction of slats from 15° to 0° sleeves E1 to E5 are used for some measurements at
operator's will :
E1 is connected to positive terminal of vol meter
E2 is connected to negative terminal of volmeter ; depending on SW4 setting, the terminal is set
to null point or to a fictitious zero (+ 10 V).
E3 is connected to the stop-watch starting input.
E4 is connected to the stop-watch stopping input
E5 is connected to the null point.

C Various controls

R1, R2 and R3 potentiometers simulate aircraft information when switch SW6 is set to
«SIMULATION».

R1 simulates :
- in flaps mode, the 1st limit conventional airspeed,
- in slats mode, the incidence.

R2 simulates :
- in flaps or slats mode, the 1st limit Mach number.

R3 simulates :
- in flaps mode, the 2nd limit conventional airspeed,
- in slats mode, the LH slats position pickoff. The RH slats pickoff is replaced by a resistor
fixed bridge.

The various switches are for the functions indicated on illustration. Some of them are used for
operation with or without aircraft systems ; if without A/C systems, they simulate open or closed
condition of A/C contacts.

D Indicating

Flaps or slats retraction-extension control commands (whether manual or automatic) and the
information from A/C contacts and failure warning system are displayed by indicator lights.
These lights can be tested by depressing button SW2.

6- OPERATION

A Installation

Arrange the «S/F TEST» box, with cover removed.


-
- Check and,if required, set the zero position of the measuring instrument.
-Check and, if required, set the revolution counters of R1, R2 and R3 potentiometers to 000
when the latter are set to minimum stop.

B Preliminary steps

- Manually open the nose U/C door (see 02-2). Manually close the hook of the nose U/C latching
box and the front lock of the nose U/C door.
- Connect the external power receptacle.
- Connect the hydraulic power supply to systems 1 and 2.

C Preliminary check

- Initiate an integrated test sequence (see 13-1 ).

D Connection

(1 ) When checking flaps

- Disconnect the cord from «COMBAT SLATS/FLAPS» unit.


Between this cord (A/C) and «COMBAT SLATS/FLAPS» unit,
- fit flaps cord MEM 140 04-01
by coupling the relevant connectors.

(2) When checking slats

- Disconnect the cord from «AUTO SLATS» unit.


- Between this cord (A/C) and «AUTO SLATS» unit, fit slats cord MEM 140 05-01 by coupling
the relevant connectors.

CAUTION :
THE CORD (FLAPS OR SLATS) SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM SLATS AND SHOCK
CONES.

E Starting

- Energize the aircraft.


- Apply pressure to the hydraulic systems.

7 - CHECKS

- Perform the checks as per inspection sheets :

(a) Flaps -sheets 1 , 2 and 3

(b) Slats - sheets 4, 5 and 6.

Sheet 1 (or 4) is for checking the manual operation of high-lift device chain.

Sheet 2 (or 5) allows for checking the automatic function of slat/flap servo unit (or auto slat
servo unit) in connection with simulation circuits.
In case of failure, this check removes any doubt that may arise between the unit tested and the
aircraft circuits.

Sheet 3 (or 6) is for checking the automatic function of combat flap servo unit ( or slat servo unit)
in connection with aircraft systems.
This check informs the operator about availability or lack of aircraft signals delivered to the
combat flap servo unit (or slat servo unit).

Sheets 3 and 6 : the operation of assemblies or sub-assemblies (march number repetition poten¬
tiometer, ADC potentiometer, aneroids, angle-of-attack probe) delivering A/C signals is checked.
IN NO CASE SHALL THIS CHECK BE USED AS A REFERENCE FOR SETTING THE
ASSEMBLIES OR SUB-ASSEMBLIES. To check these parameters, refer to sheets related to the checks
of flight envelope safety devices (see 04-4)

NOTE : Switch «SW1 » position :


- For aircraft equipped with 1st limit flap IAS aneroid : switch 240C shall be set to
position «IAS CONT».
- For all other aircraft set to position «ADC».
In either case, the required parameter is set down on the sheets in accordance with the
position («ADC» or «IAS CONT»),

NOTE: If the hydraulic flap jacks and spoiler servo-controls are to be removed, the present in¬
spection shall be carried out before their removal.
If removal has already been performed, the control linkages shall be immobilized by
tools replacing the equipment in question.

6 - PROCEDURE

This work consists in inspecting on aircraft all control linkage components (bellcranks, le¬
vers, idlers, rods, bonding braids, spherical bearings) in order to check them for proper condi¬
tion and operation, and to detect any possible defect or abnormality.

A - Detailed common procedure for inspection of spoiler, flap and droop slat control linkages
components.

PREAMBLE

On spoiler, flap and droop slat control linkages, the bellcrank or lever hinges consist of
Teflon-lined bearings, and the hinge knuckles level with the control rods are fitted with Te¬
flon-lined spherical bearings. Each of these bearings and spherical bearings features a self-lu¬
bricating lining which may be compressed or worn or damaged after a given time of operation.
The inspection described below (to be carried out on nonremoved linkage) is intended to
make sure, visually or by the touch, that every hinge has a correct play.

BA MOD 454
06-87 Restricted 4-581
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT
MIRAGE F
BREGUET AVIATION
Restricted MANUAL 04

Apply on each linkage component the inspection procedure described below:

(a) Carefully clean the various components

-Hinges fitted with a self-lubricating lining shall only be wiped with. a clean, dry and lint¬
less cloth.
-Clean the slat and flap guide rails with white spirit, then dry.
-Compressed-air blowing is PROHIBITED. Dust and filings shall be removed with a vac¬
uum cleaner.

NOTE: Never clean titanium or titanium alloy parts with chlorinated products.

CAUTION:
DO NOT APPLY OIL OR GREASE TO SPHERICAL BEARINGS AND BEARINGS WITH
TEFLON SELF-LUBRICATING LININGS. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS MUST BE DEEN¬
ERGIZED.

-Disconnect connectors shall be protected with their caps and covered with polyethylene
bags.
Special attention shall be paid to non-disconnected connectors during cleaning.
-Blank the disconnected lines.

(b) Procedure on each control bellcrank, lever, idler or hinge knuckle.

-Lock the control linkage with the servo-control (or with a tool if required).

Hollow pin Check

PR compound

Radial play

Check

-At each hinge knuckle bearing hinge, rod-to-bellcrank connecting knuckle).


-Manually actuate the bellcrank, lever, idler or hinge knuckle in the radial and axial direc¬
tions alternatively, so as to detect any abnormal play.
The maximum permissible plays are as follows :
-radial play ^ 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
-axial play < 0.3 mm (0.012 in)

From a practical point of view, the play must be perceptible to the touch, with no need to
measure it. However, if a doubt subsists, the play may be measured using a dial indicator fitted
at the hinge.
-Check their general condition: no scratches, no friction, wear or corrosion traces.

-proper general condition, installation and safetying of pins.

(d) For each rod

-Inspect the ends for traces of impact, friction or corrosion.


-Visually inspect the locknut retainers and make sure that the locknuts are properly safe-
tied.
-Check that the spherical bearings swivel smoothly at their connecting points, and that
they show no abnormality or damage.

(e) For hardware

-Check condition of nuts, pins, recessed washers, anchor nuts.

(f) For bonding braids

-Check the braids for proper condidion: correctly tightened and safetied and free of tears,
and that they are not liable to be damaged by an equipment item or sharp edge. For the braids
fitted to linkages or moving components, check that the component is not hindered by the
braid (s) over its full travel and that the relative motion of the braid does not subject it to ten¬
sion or torsion.

AIRBRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM - PRINCIPLE

Aircraft aerodynamic braking is effected by means of two airbrakes opening simultaneously under
thefu selage. They are operated through an electro-hydraulic installation.

A control switch, located on throttle handle, allows an electrically-operated selector valve to be


energized through a relay, which selector valve then allows hydraulic pressure to be fed to two
double-acting jacks controlling airbrake extension and retraction.

Airbrakes are held in extended configuration thanks to hydraulic pressure admitted in jacks. A
warning light is provided in cockpit to monitor airbrake controls.

Each airbrake is locked mechanically in retracted configuration thanks to a unit provided with
hydraulic unlocking unlocking (unlocking unit).

The warning light comes on as soon as one unit becomes unlocked.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

(Figure 2)

The hydraulic power required for operating airbrakes is supplied from ancillary sub-system of
system 1 (See 07). System 1 permanently supplies electrically-operated selector valve 15C which
depending on which one of its two solenoids is energized, provides the necessary interconnections either
to supply hydraulic pressure to jacks 1 and 2 or to connect such jacks to reservoir return system,
depending on whether airbrakes are to be extended or retracted :

- Energization of solenoid 1 causes airbrakes to be extended.


- Energization of solenoid 2 causes airbrakes to be retracted.

When control switch is set to neutral (airbrakes retracted and locked), electrically-operated
selector valve 1 5C causes hydraulic supply to jacks to be shut off and both chambers of each jack to be
connected to reservoir return system. '

Jack cylinders are hinged to aircraft structure whereas jack rods are directly connected to
airbrakes.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

(Figure 2)

The airbrake electrical circuit is supplied from DC system 1

There are two circuits :

1 - CONTROL CIRCUIT

Protected through fuse breaker 10C, this circuit is used to energize electrically -operated selector
valve 15C as required.

Control is achieved through toggle switch 11C mounted on throttle lever and connected to relay
12C. Airbrake extension is controlled as long as toggle switch is acted upon by the pilot. Toggle switch
can be locked in «FULLY OUT» position.

«Extension» solenoid 1 is energized through relay 12C when the latter is energized.

«Retraction» solenoid 2 is energized through relay 12C (de-energized) and microswitches


associated with units 13C and 14C, airbrakes unlocked.

Under fuselage bomb jettisoning is prevented by a second stage of relay 12C as soon as airbrake
extension is controlled (relay energized). Prevention lasts until complete airbrake retraction through
microswitches of locking units 13C and 14C «not locked» and relay «de-enefgized» (see 15-3).

Safety on ground is achieved through safety switch 17C which cuts off control circuit power
supply.

2 - WARNING CIRCUIT

Warning is achieved through warning light 16C supplied from lighting control unit 29L, the latter
being protected by fuse breaker 18W. Return to ground is achieved through microswitches of unlocking
units 13C and 14C, airbrakes unlocked.

A test circuit is intended for testing operation of warning light 16C through grounding whatever
the configuration of airbrakes.

OPERATION OF AIRBRAKES

(Figure 2)

1- AIRBRAKE EXTENSION

The pressure exerted by the pilot on control switch 11C causes energization of relay 12C which
closes the energization circuit to solenoid 1 of electrically-operated selector valve 15C.

- Hydraulic pressure is applied consequently :


-to unlocking units 13C and 14C, causing airbrakes to become unlocked. The microswitches
associated with such units are operated and cause warning light 16C to come on.
- to jacks 1 and 2, causing jack rods to extend and, consequently, airbrakes to be extended.
Maximum airbrake deflection is limited by an internal jack stop.

2- AIRBRAKE RETRACTION

With the airbrakes in extended configuration, retraction is controlled by either simply releasing
control switch 11C or by unlocking and then releasing it. Control switch 1 IC automatically cuts off
power supply to relay 12C which, in turn, opens the energization circuit to solenoid 1 and closes the
energization circuit to solenoid 2 through the microswitches associated with units 13C and 14C,
airbrakes unlocked.

The energization of solenoid 2 allows hydraulic pressure to be applied to jacks 1 and 2 to control
rod retraction.

When fully retracted, airbrakes are locked by means of units 13C and 14C, the microswitches
associated with such units are operated and cause the energization of solenoid 2 and warning light 16C
to be cut off.

Warning light then goes out, indicating that airbrakes are locked in retracted configuration.

AIRBRAKE JACKS

(Figure 3)

1 - GENERAL
Airbrake jacks are intended to actuate airbrakes in both directions (extension and retraction).
They are double-acting jacks not provided with mechanical locking. L/H and R/H jacks are
arranged in a symmetrical manner. Therefore, the only jack described and illustrated in the present
sheet is the L/H jack.ltre

Rod extension causes corresponding airbrake to be deflected.

An internal device is intended for fluid throttling so as to reduce rod retraction speed at the end of
airbrake retraction (travel limit, dash-pot system).

2- DESCRIPTION

An airbrake jack essentially consists of :

- Cylinder 1, blanked off at its ends by bottoms 2 and 3.


- R od 4 fitted with piston 5 which is secured against motion by stop 6.
- Dash-pot tube 7, containing valve 8 fitted with restrictor 9.
- Stop 1 0, fitted with guide screw 11.

The travel limit dash-pot system is made up of tube 7, valve 8, restrictor 9 and screw 1 1 .

Supply ports A and B, respectively provided with connector 12 or 13, are also fitted with filter 17.

Additional protection against water seepage is provided through application of sealant, especially
at nut 14.

Lever 15 is intended for driving in rotation the swivel part of connectors provided to connect the
pipes attached to structure to those attached to jacks.

3- OPERATION (Figure 4)

A Rod extension

Rod 4 is in retracted configuration.

Hydraulic pressure enters port B, passes through dash-pot tube 7, opens valve 8 and acts upon
section S1 of rod 4 assembly.
The jack ro d extends, therefore causing airbrakes to be extended. The fluid contained in chamber
«b» is expelled through port A.

Maximum travel is obtained when stop 6 comes into contact with bottom 3.

B Rod retraction

Hydraulic pressure enters port A and acts upon section S2 of rod 4 assembly causing the latter to
move back.

At beginning of rod retraction, the fluid is expelled from chamber «a» through center port of
stop 10 and through port B.

At the end of rod retraction, dash-pot tube 7 enters the port provided in stop 10. The fluid
expelled from chamber «a» has to flow through restrictor 9, valve 8 being held against its seat by
expelled fluid pressure. The disp lacement speed of rod is then fairly reduced.

The rod continues to retract until corresponding airbrake is mechanically locked by unit 13C.

EXPLANATION AND USE OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1- MAINTENANCE MANUAL COMPOSITION

Each Manual comprises :

A A title page identifying the publ ication.

B A list of effective pages which is the record of all the pages making up the Manual. It determines
the Manual breakdown.

C A list of modifications included in the Manual. This list which is specific to each manual records
only those modifications which affect the Manual concerned.

D A table of contents which lists the Sections making up the Manual.

E The various Sections making up the Manual.

2- BREAKDOWN OF A MAINTENANCE MANUAL SECTION

Three different kinds of «Sections» can be defined in a Maintenance Manual depending on


whether the Manual deals with an aircraft system or special information.

A Common Sections in a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.

Each of these Sections is subdivided into 9 Sub-Sections which are assigned an unchanging title
and sequence number :

Sub-Section Sub-Section title


No

0 - General
1 - Description and operation
2 - Trouble shooting
3 - Removal-Installation
4 - Disassembly-Assembly
5 -Inspection-Check-Adjustment
6 -Cleaning-Corrosion preventive treatment-
Painting
7 - Storage-Preservation-Transportation
8 - Repair

NOTE:
(1 ) Maintenance and lubrication are covered by Sub-Section 6.
(2) In each Manual, Sub-Section 7 deals with the matter of preservation-packaging and transportation
relating to the individual items of the system to which the Manual is applicable and which forms the
subject of an incorporated documentation. As concerns the complete aircraft, this matter is dealt with
in the «GENERAL» Manual.
(3) Sub-Section 8 covers- the reconditioning operations for the items of the system to which the
Manual is devoted. The structural repairs of the aircraft form the subject of a separate Manual :
«STRUCTURAL REPAIRS».
(4) Any Sub-Section which is not applicable is not shown.

B - GENERAL INFORMATION Section of a Manual dealing with an aircraft system.


Its breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with an
aircraft system.
The structure of this Section is «as required» and this Section deals with all the matters which are
common to the other Manual Sections.

This Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.
C Sections of a Manual dealing with general or specific information.

Their breakdown does not follow the sequence of a common Section in a Manual which deals with
an aircraft system.

The structure of these Sections is «as required» in accordance with general or technical information
forming the subject of the Section.
Each Section is subdivided into Sub-Sections which are assigned a title and a sequence number
from 0 to X.

3- ARRANGEMENT OF A COMMON SECTION IN A MANUAL DEALING WITH A SYSTEM

A - Sub-Section 0 - GENERAL
This is an introductory Sub-Section which gives the general principles of the functional system
covered by the Section. A schematic diagram is usually attached to this Sub-Section.

B - Sub-Section 1 - DESCRIPTION - OPERATION

This Sub-Section is arranged as follows :

(1 ) A table of components, lists all the units, accessories and equipment items of the system concerned,
in the logical descriptive sequence. It gives the essential characteristics of these equipment items, their
function in the system concerned, their location within the aircraft and it indicates whether the
relevant documentation is separate or incorporated.
Layout illustrations are usually attached to this Sub-Section, which also refers to the functional diagram.
The purpose of the table of components is to clarify the system description, by specifying the purpose
and the characteristics of the various components.
In this table, the units, accessories or equipment items are identified by :
- the reference designation for those equipment items which have an electrical function.
- a sequential index number (1 to X) when the item is not assigned any reference designation.

Note that the values shown in the table of components are rated values. When tolerances apply to
these values, they are always given in the Sub-Section which deals with maintenance.

(2) A text portion which describes the system operation in detail. This refers to the functional diagram.
NOTE The detailed description and operation of the individual equipment items are given in their
:
separate documentation or, if applicable, in the documentation known as the incorporated
documentation (see below).

(3) The description-operation part of the «incorporated documentation» for some equipment items is
contained in pages or groups of pages which are independent and placed next to the description and
operation of the system to which they belong.

The «incorporated documentation» is given in the same order as it appears in the table of
components ; it is illustrated whenever necessary and the internal index numbers are given in the
sequence 1 to X for each component, independently of the index numbers shown in the table of
components.

C - Sub-Sections 2 to 8 :

These Sub-Sections give all technical information on the maintenance of the functional system
which forms the subject of the Section.

(1 ) Each Maintenance operation is described in the Sub-Section corresponding to its category.

At the head of each group of pages which describe details of an operation, the following
information will be found :

(a) Equipment required which lists the tools and ground support equipment required to perform the
operation. Since the tools are grouped in homogeneous kits, only the tool kit to be used is specified.
However, the tools are indicated in the text by :
- the dimension across flats (in mm) for the spanner to be used when standard tools are concerned,
unless a specific spanner must be used.
- the part number when special tools or special ground support equipment are concerned.

(b) Materials. The standard designation of the materials used, or the commercial designation if the
former is not available, is shown under this heading.
However, the standard designation suffixes are shown only in the «list of various products and
materials» in the «GENERAL» Manual.
If only one material is used during the operation, its designation is not recalled in the text which details
the operation.

(c) Spares. Only the spares which are systematically required are shown by their names supplemented,
ifnecessary, by an indication in order to avoid any confusion in their location. Reference shall be
made to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown to find their part numbers. The only exception to this rule is
the standard hardware, for which the standard part number is shown.

(2) The man-hours required for the performance of the operation are not given in the description of
the operation, but in the table of periodic maintenance operations included in Manual 01 «GENERAL».

4- IDENTIFICATION ON INSPECTION DOORS

The figures showing the location of the inspection doors, are part of Manual 01 «GENERAL», to
which reference should be made.
The door numbering principles are as follows :

A Sub-assembly on which a door is located.

- Fuselage - the number consists of four digits.


- Wings - the number consists of letter V followed by three digits.
- Stabilator - the number consists of letter E followed by three digits.
- Fin - the number consists of letter D followed by three digits.

B Fuselage doors

The first two digits show the number of the frame forward of the door, the next two digits are the
clock position of the door within the fuselage section in which it is located :
' example : fuselage door between F.29 and 30 in the middle part of the R/H side : door 29-03.

AC
06-74 Restricted xi
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT/' -J>-"11 /VAIKMOC t
BREGUET AVIATION^<25. _ ^
__ ^ Restricted

C Wing doors

The first digit locates the door in relation to the rib which precedes the door from the aircraft
centreline to the wing tip.
The last two digits indicate in which of the following areas is the door :
1 to 29 - leading edge

30 to 59 - centre wing box


60 to 90 - trailing edge.

The door numbering direction is from the wing root to the wing tip and from the leading edge to
the trailing edge.
Even numbers apply to the upper surface doors and odd numbers apply to the lower surface doors.
-example : door located between ribs 1 and 2 on the upper surface within the centre wing box :
V138.

D Fin doors. Same principle as for the wings

The odd numbers apply to the L/H side and the even numbers apply to the R/H side.

E Stabilator doors. Same principle as for the wings.

5- DIAGRAM DRAWING RULES

There are three kinds of diagrams :


- schematic diagrams
- functional diagrams
- wiring diagrams.

A Schematic diagram. The schematic diagram is drawn in block form, showing the main component
interconnections, illustrating the functional principle of the system and the connections to the other
systems or functions.

B Functional diagram. The functional diagram represents all the units, accessories and equipment
items making up the system and their functional connections. The detailed operation of the function
can be followed on that diagram.
The functional diagrams are usually shown in inoperative condition (i.e. no pressure, no power, aircraft
on its wheels). The complex functions may be illustrated by several functional diagrams associated with
the main operating phases.
The equipment inside is represented in the form of a block or symbol. For the actual equipment
illustration it is necessary to refer to the relevant publication.
The functional diagrams show the terminals except for the relays, on/off switches, selector switches and
indicator lights.
The functional diagrams define the type of the information conveyed. Disconnections and grounding
connections are not shown unless an aircraft boundary is concerned.

(1) Test connectors on equipment. The test points are shown by the associated terminal number
which is encircled and hooked to the tested circuit. If there are several test connectors, the reference
designation of the connector to which the point belongs is written next to the test point.

(2) Aircraft test connectors. These are shown with their terminal numbers and reference designations
in the same manner as the other aircraft wiring connectors.

C Wiring diagram. The wiring diagrams form the subject of Manual 16 to which reference should be
made.

D Symbols used in the diagrams. The symbols used in the diagrams are shown in the following

8- UNITS OF MEASURE USED

The units of measure are written as follows :

«International measuring system (IMS) units (converted values, possible complementary units)».

The converted values are given in the order : British units and US units.

Whenever converted units of measure are suspect, it is mandatory to refer to the international
measuring system (IMS) unit of measure.

In some specific cases, for which the units of measure are taken from standards, the units of
measure remain those of the IMS international system except for US Standards where the units are US
units.

In addition, characteristics specific to some equipment are given in IMS units (example : aircraft
dimensions, etc.).

REVISION OF MAINTENANCE MANUALS

1 - PUBLICATION DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE

This development is performed in two steps :

A Issue of supplements which are temporarily incorporated in the publications.

B - Actual revision which permanently incorporates information in the publications. Such information
may be newly issued or previously published in supplements (replacement of pages or addition of new
pages).

2- REVISION TO PUBLICATIONS

A Procedure

Revision involves two operations :


- insertion of new pages and replacement of modified pages.
- systematic replacement of the title page and list of effective pages which serves as a guide to the
insertion of revised pages.

B Page numbering

First case - Addition of one or more new pages following the last page of a Sub-Section.
The pages are numbered in the normal order.

Second case - Insertion of one or more new pages between two existing pages.
The new page(s) bears the number of the preceding page followed by a capital letter, with the exception
of letters I, 0 and Z.
The letters are chosen in every case so as to provide for maximum further insertions unless the initial
numbering sequence is changed.
The principle is illustrated in the table below :

3rd insertion

2nd insertion

^Z^^^^^s. Restricted

Example :
Assuming that several pages are to be inserted in succession between pages 6 and 7. The first one
will be numbered 6M, the second one 6F if it is to be placed before 6M, or 6T if it is to be placed after
6M. Similarly, if it is necessary to insert a third page later on, its number will be 6F or 6T, 6C or 6J, 6Q
or 6W as applicable.

Assuming that the following are to be inserted simultaneously :


- 2 pages : they will be numbered 6H and 6R.
- 3 pages : they will be numbered 6F, 6M and 6T.

Third case - Insertion of a new page following application of an official modification. The principle
consists in showing up the two states simultaneously in the publication, i.e. post- and pre-modification.

(a) The modification can be inserted according to the principle stated above without altering the page
numbering sequence : There will be a new page which supersedes the preceding one.

(b) As a result of the insertion of both states (post- and pre-modification), if the number of pages
increases, the solution will be as follows :
both the pre- and post-modification pages will bear the same number. «MOD...X» will be shown
on top of the date on the modified page (this means modification X applied). Both pages will be shown
in the list of effective pages with.

Remark : These two pages may have different dates.

(c) Where a complete paragraph or a Section is deeply affected by a modification (most of the pages
changed), the complete paragraph which is modified will be found first and followed by the complete
paragraph which is not modified. The table of contents will list both paragraphs (or Sections).

The unmodified pages will be deleted during a further revision only when the modification has
been applied to all aircraft.

C Identification of revised text portions

The modifications to the text, insertion or deletion, are identified by a vertical line in the margin.

Those pages which are entirely changed are identified by a vertical line in the margin on a level
with the date of issue.

TRANSLATION OF REPETITIVE ABBREVIATIONS

To avoid the necessity of creating English versions of certain illustrations the translations of the
legends have been added in italic script and the standard french abbreviations have been unchanged.

Furthermore, to ensure ready reference, the same abbreviations have been used in the parts of the
text which correspond to such illustrations.

A key to the standard french abbreviations is given below :

AR («arrière») = Rear L («lisse») = Stringer


AT («attaque») = Drive Lg («longeron») = Spar
AV («avant») = Front Lgt («longeronnet»)= False spar
C («cadre») = Frame M («médiane») = Middle
Cst («constant») = Constant N («nervure») = Rib
e («épaisseur») = Thickness R («rail») = Track

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF UNDERCARRIAGE

The retractable aircraft undercarriage is of the tricycle type. It is composed of :


-two symmetrical main legs. Each of them is provided with two disc brakes and two
bogie-mounted wheels. The undercarriage is so designed that, despite of a total attachment to the
fuselage, it provides correct lateral stability and its dimensions are reduced in the retracted position.
- one nose leg, equipped with two bogie-mounted wheels. The wheels can be steered by means of
an electro-hydraulic control operated by the pilot.

The main characteristics are as follows :


- wheel track : 2,48 metres (8.13 ft)
- wheel base : 4,87 metres (15.97 ft)
- nose wheel steering control usable within ± 45°
- wheel deflection during towing : ± 45° (manoeuvrability possible with ± 360° deflection, and
torque links uncoupled).

The undercarriage is extended and retracted by an electro-hydraulic control. A hydraulic control


also permits extensionof the U/C legs in emergency mode. Each U/C leg is mechanically locked up and
down. Unlocking is hydraulically controlled.

5- LOCALIZATION AND MECHANICAL REMOVAL OF CORROSION SPOTS

A Carefully examine painted surfaces for defects such as : blistering or flaking, dents, deep scratches.

NOTE : For defects on nose undercarriage cylinder protected with PR 1432 GP, remove the
compound over a large area surrounding the defect with a spatula.

B Rub a large area around the defect with medium grit abrasive paper so as to bare the metal and
enable identification of the corrosion type using the following criteria.

NOTE : The shock absorber cylinder bore (sliding rod) is not protected on bottom side.

(1 ) Surface corrosion
The surface must be cleaned with aliphatic naphtha grade F and lightly rubbed with a fiberglass
brush (if necessary) to obtain a clean, sound metal surface.

(2) Deep-seated corrosion


Examine the suspect areas with a magnifying glass under bright lighting to detect any spots of
deep-seated corrosion revealed after the above cleaning operation.
This form of corrosion appears as small spots on steel parts, and pits on aluminum or magnesium
alloy parts.

(3) Limits

(a) On steel parts


Deep-seated corrosion is not acceptable ; the equipment must be sent to the next higher repair
line.

(b) On aluminum or magnesium alloy parts


Deep-seated corrosion spots can be removed with a scraper or a burr by working outwards from
the center of the area being touched up, blending the edges with wide radii. Such rework is only
permitted for the parts described below and must be within the defined limits.

On the nose U/C cylinder :


the depth of rework must not exceed 1 mm (0.0393 in) below the surface of the part and must
-
not risk weakening its mechanical strength ;
- if doubts subsist, consult the manufacturer.

On the nose U/C wheels :


the depth of rework must not exceed 0.8 mm (0.0314 in) from the original surface, except in the
-
flange area (see illustration), where reworking is not acceptable ; the following directives must be
adhered to :
- reworking around the wheel bolt housing must not exceed 25% of the washer bearing
surfaces on the the rim, or 25% of the bolt-head surface on the main part of the wheel ;
- reworking in the wheel center bore must not exceed 25% of the total surface of the bore.

CAUTION :
ALL REWORKING MUST BE SPREAD OVER THE WIDEST POSSIBLE AREA TO AVOID
STRESS CONCENTRATIONS (see illustration).

NOTE : - All other parts displaying deep-seated corrosion must be sent to the next higher repair
line.
-THE CYLINDER, ROCKER ARM AND SWIVEL TUBE OF THE MAIN UNDER¬
CARRIAGE ARE MADE FROM VERY HIGH STRENGTH STEEL. IF ONE OF THESE
PARTS BEARS DEFECTS (E.G. SCRATCHES, DEEP DENTS OR DEEP-SEATED CORRO¬
SION), THE WHOLE U/C LEG MUST BE SENT TO THE NEXT HIGHER REPAIR LINE.

6- PREPARATION OF AREAS TO BE TOUCHED UP

A Degrease the damaged areas with aliphatic naphtha grade F.


B Cut strips of adhesive tape of the appropriate length and apply them around the edge of the
area sanded with abrasive paper (leaving one end unstuck to enable removal of the tape). Carefully
expel any air bubbles trapped under the tape.

C Tear off the strips by pulling them perpendicularly from the surface of the part, so as to remove
poorly adhering paint.

D Thoroughly degrease the sanded area and at least 50 mm (2 in) around it using a clean, dry, white
cloth soaked in aliphatic naphtha grade F, then wipe over with a clean dry cloth. Repeat the procedure
until all grease and dirt has been removed.
E Smooth the edges of surfaces where paint is flaked off in the following manner :
-the oven-baked paintwork of the wheels, nose U/C cylinder and main U/C cylinder and rocker
arm is to be rubbed with 100-grit abrasive paper 3M 461 soaked in white spirit ;
- non-baked paintwork is to be rubbed with a clean cloth soaked in thinner No. 4980.

7- PROTECTIVE TREATMENT OF CORROSION SPOTS

A For steel parts

At 1st and 2nd line maintenance level, the only possible treatment is the application of the paint
scheme as described in paragraph 8.

B For aluminum alloy parts

(1) - Strip surfaces using a brush soaked in a liquid paste composed of Deoxidine 670 and fine grit
pumice.
- Rinse thoroughly in running water.

(2) - Dab the stripped surfaces with an absorbent cotton swab soaked in a solution of Alodine 1200
(35 g per liter of distilled water - 4.77 oz per US gal - 5.6 oz per imp.gal).
- Leave applied for 3 minutes.
- Repeat the procedure several times, checking the color, which can vary from yellow-orange
to light brown.

NOTE : Paleness in color can be due to inadequate degreasing or deterioration of the Alodine
solution.

(3) - Rinse thoroughly in water, then dry in moisture-free compressed air.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
PAINTWORK MUST BE TOUCHED UP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF APPLYING ALODINE.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLING SEALS ON MESSIER-HISPANO


EQUIPMENT ITEMS
(figures 6 and 7)

1 - SCOPE

Correct installation of seals is very important. Although not difficult, installing seals requires
certain precautions and should be performed with utmost care.

2- EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

A Special tools
- Tools specific to installation of rubber and teflon seals are listed in the «disassembly - assembly»
sheet of the equipment item involved.

3- MATERIALS

-White spirit
I - Microfiltered hydraulic fluid Air 3520

4- TYPES OF SEALS

- Refer to figures.

5- INSTRUCTIONS

A General instructions to be followed

(1 ) Seals are supplied in individual bags marked with the date of manufacture.

(2) Before installation, carefully clean grooves and surfaces in contact with the seals during installation.

Cleaning shall be performed with white spirit or alcohol.

NOTE : Do not dip parts still equipped with seals, such as fixed seals.

After cleaning, let dry, wipe with a rag inside grooves and on the part, and blast with moisture-free
compressed air if possible. Grooves and all surfaces with which seals come into contact must be
thoroughly clean and dry,

(3) If only gasoline is available, cleaning may be performed provided that :


(a) - perfect drying is performed after cleaning,
(b) - no gasoline penetrates into the unit or comes into contact with rubber material.

AA
12-80 Restricted 0-129
AVIONS MARCEL DASSAUll LJ>~lZ~\L MIRAGE F
BREGUET AVIATION^^P3^^^
Restricted MANUAL 05

(4) Any
seal removed must be replaced.
Never lubricate seals before definitively installing them in grooves. Specially double seals (e.g.
SI-SE seals) should be free of fluid on their bearing surfaces.

When removing or installing seals, take care not to scratch the cylinder.

(5) Special attention shall be paid to cleanliness when installing seals. It is necessary to work in a
clean, dust free place with thoroughly cleaned tools.

(6) Never install distorted or cut seals, as cuts are incipient tears.

(7) Never handle seals with greasy hands. Any seal contaminated by greasy materials other than the
installation fluid, shall be discarded.

(8) When assembling the unit, slightly lubricate the visible seal portion with a spatula. Unless
otherwise specified, never use fluids other than the operating fluid of the unit.

(9) Once seals are correctly positioned, ensure that no slipping or tearing can occur.
Correctly position the parts. Any seal tearing or incipient tearing shall be a cause for removal of the seal
involved.
Install seals progressively, without excessively pushing. If jamming or binding is felt, disassemble and
replace seals according to their condition.

B Special instructions for rubber and teflon seals.

(1) Rubber seals


To install rubber seals, use the straight end of a spatula (89901 ) and a clean, lint free dry rag.
The bent end of the spatula shall be used for removal.

(2) Teflon seals


Circumferential scratches on the bearing surfaces of teflon seals do not affect sealing. On the
contrary, scratches parallel with the axis of seal movement, or close to this direction, are prohibited.
This is the reason why it is necessary to adjust parts by turning them.

IMPORTANT : To install rubber seals and remove rubber and teflon seals of plasticized parts, use
special spatula A 46524.

6- INSTALLATION OF SEALS

A Standard single and double seals

(1 ) On male, stationary or sliding parts (See views A and B).

Ascertain that all groove sides and surfaces coming into contact with the seal are perfectly clean
and dry.

Locate the single seal (in the direction of the chamfer if the seal is chamfered), or the inner seal
(for double seals), ore the end of the part and engage it by means of the spatula. The seal must be
stretched as little as possible. Then, progressively push the seal into the groove by turning the spatula
around the part. Avoid turning the seal over.

BREGUET AVIATION
tiJè-^ZXL
^sg5* ^^.
MIRAGE F
Restricted MANUAL 05

For double seals, install the outer seal in the same way, placing it exactly concentric with the inner
seal.

In this case also, the inner seal and the cylindrical engagement section of the part must not be
lubricated. It is absolutely necessary that the contact area of concentric seals is free of fluid.

Place the seal(s) against one groove side so that when installing metal parts seal(s) do not tend to
turn over or slip.

Installation of female part : (See view C).

To facilitate installation of the male part, slightly lubricate (See para. 5-A(8)) the associated bore
and the external surface of the rubbing seal.
In all instances, ensure that mechanical parts are correctly positioned and avoid any abnormal
stress.

Certain assemblies which are difficult to fit, require the use of a mallet, with a wooden plate or a
plastic drift interposed.

(2) On female, stationary or sliding part (See view D)

Double seals may be embedded, when the parts have :


- machined grooves.
- one groove side consisting of a locked thrust washer.
- one groove side formed by a fitted flange.

As a rule, installing a seal is relatively easy, except for seals with small diameter, housed in a
machined groove.

For all parts provided with a machined groove :


Make sure that all groove sides and surfaces coming into contact with the seal are perfectly clean
-
and dry.
- Insert the seal askew by means of a spatula (observing the chamfer direction if the simple seal is
chamfered), and progressively push the seal at several places so as to bring it into the groove without
turning it over (applicable to simple seals and outer seals of double seals).

The inner seal of double seals shall be installed in the same way and accurately fitted to the outer
seal.

It is imperative that the contact surface is absolutely dry.

Therefore, do not lubricate or moisten, as for simple seals.

Place the seal(s) against one groove side in the suitable direction (view E).

NOTE : Installation of seals in grooves with a side consisting of a thrust washer or a flange, shall be
simply performed with the fingers.

Installation of male part : (See view E).

Slightly lubricate (see para. 5-A(8)) the cylindrical surface of the male part and the rubbing surface
of the seal.

Take care to correctly position the part (axis of part normal to the mating surfaces).

B Mixed and double mixed seals (See views F, G and G')

- Rubber seal and split plastic seal on male or female part.

Split plastic seals shall be installed on male or female part in the same way.

Split plastic seals shall be installed with the fingers, acting as close as possible to the cut (The cut is
either on a diametrical or oblique plane).

Do not abnormally separate the two seal ends to facilitate installation. The plastic seal shall be
placed in abutment against one groove side, with the rubber seal(s) on the pressure side coming into
contact with the plastic seal. As regards installation of the rubber seal(s), observe the method described
in para. A.

C Composite seals

- These seals include at least one rubber seal and one plastic seal (generally made of teflon) which
are concentric with each other (views J and M).

(1 ) On male, stationary or sliding part

(a) Installation of rubber seal (See view H)


-use a spatula, as instructed for simple rubber seals.
- the seal shall be placed in the middle of the groove, i.e. at equal distance from the two groove
sides.
(b) Installation of teflon seal (See view I)
prepare a suitably centred installation cone with an apex half-angle a = 5°. The taper surface of
-
the cone should be very polished.
- locate the cone on the part and, without lubricating or moistening, engage the seal by pushing
with the fingers until it fits the groove. Massage the teflon seal to ensure that it is correctly placed in the
groove.
(c) Assembly of female part (See view J)
- Despite the precautions taken for installation, the teflon seal is slightly stretched, and a few
hours are necessary for the teflon seal to normally clamp the rubber seal.
To save time, a metal «shrinking ring» may be used. The lead-in taper bore (apex half-angle a = 5°) of
this ring is extended by a cylindrical section with a diameter equal to or slightly smaller than the bore
of the female part.
- Slightly lubricate the rubbing section of the teflon seal and the bore of the «shrinking ring» with
operating fluid.
- Install this ring with care so as to press the teflon seal in its housing. Clear the shrinking ring after
a few seconds have elapsed.

IMPORTANT : This method is not systematically applicable, since the natural shrinkage and relative
thinness of the teflon seal do not always enable the latter to be retained in the groove as the shrinking
ring is mounted, and the teflon ring may escape.

This can be avoided by using a two-part shrinking ring, with a foil interposed, for instance.
Locate the female part on the part equipped with seals by rotating. No jamming should be felt
- ;
otherwise, disassemble and repeat all operations with new seals.

For reassembling, the assembly lubricant may be more liberally applied (See para. 5-A(8)).

(2) On female, fixed or sliding part

(a) Installation of rubber seal (see view K)


- Use a spatula as instructed for double rubber seals.
- The seal shall be placed in the middle of the groove, i.e. at equal distance from the two groove
sides.
(b) Installation of teflon seal (see view L)
Installation shall be performed as for rubber seals, but using the fingers, folding the seal as shown
-
in view L. Do not use the spatula which may scratch the teflon seal. Rub the seal with the fingers so
that it correctly fits the groove.

(c) Assembly of male part


- Since the teflon seal does not bear on the rubber seal, as for seals mounted on a male part, the
teflon seal does not show tendency to enlargement which may cause jamming when assembling the
metal parts. It is necessary to use one of the following two methods. In both cases, lightly lubricate the
rubbing section of the teflon seal and the metal bearing surface with operating fluid (see para. 5-A8).

Preferred method (see view M)

This method shall be used whenever possible. Mount a metal insertion cone at the end of the
male part. This cone shall have a half-angle of 5° at the apex and the same diameter as the male part.
The cone shall be centred on the latter. Assembly shall be performed by rotating and pushing the male
part. The insertion cone shall be separated from the part after insertion.

The advantage of this method is that the teflon seal may be installed and the metal parts assembled
at the same time.

Secondary method (see view N)

This method is recommended when the above method is not practical. For the same reason as that
explained in the paragraph relating to assembly of the female part, an expansion cone shall be used to
install the teflon seal, before assembling the metal parts.

The metal expansion cone shall have a half-angle of 5° at the apex and a cylindrical section with a
diameter equal to or slightly larger than that of the male part.
- Insert the cone until the cylindrical section comes into contact with the teflon seal and remove
the cone after a few seconds have elapsed.
- Immediately proceed to assembly of the male part by rotating and pushing. No jamming should
occur ; otherwise, disassemble and repeat all operations with new seals.

For reassembling, the assembly lubricant may be more liberally applied (see para. 5-A8).

(3) Parts with oversize dimensions

During factory repair, some parts may be machined to dimensions greater than the original
dimensions. These parts are marked by the repair dimension index following the part number, i.e. R1,
R2, R3, R4orR5.

Example : Piston C56941 -10 - original dimension


Piston C56941 -1 OR 1 - first oversize dimension
Piston C56941-10R2 - second oversize dimension.

During reassembly, these parts should be fitted with teflon seals to the corresponding oversize
dimension.
For teflon seals which are not split, a mounting cone and a retaining bush of the same oversize
dimension should be used.
Parts and tools to which oversize dimensions apply are indicated in the assembly-disassembly
worksheet of the part concerned.

C - Thorough checks

-To be performed on the main U/C unit(s) involved in the tripping of the hard landing
detector (modification 692 incorporated) or,
-To be performed on both main U/C units (modification 692 not incorporated).

(1 ) Remove the wheels.

(2) Check the wheels using the eddy current method (see 05-5).

(3) Checking the straightness of the telescopic rod sliding rod


-Holding the ruler parallel with the axis of the sliding rod, place it first on the upper sur¬
face of the rod and then at 90° to this position.
The straightness error must not exceed 0.17 mm (0.0065 in) over the 350 mm
(13.7795 in) length checked.
-If the straightness error exceeds this, remove the undercarriage leg, telescopic rod and
elastic rod and send them to a heavy equipment workshop for geometric, dimensional and mé¬
tallurgie checks.

(4) Remove the shock absorber (see 05-1).

(5) Check condition of hinge pins after cleaning


-Check for peening.
-Check for distortion and flattening.
-Fit the pins back to the rocker arm and the swivel tube, without sliding the flange onto
the stop pin.
-Rotate each hinge pin through a complete turn: there must be no friction point.
If either of the two pins is damaged, remove the undercarriage leg, the telescopic rod and
the elastic rod and send them to a heavy equipment workshop (together with the shock absor¬
ber) for geometric, dimensional and métallurgie checks.

(6) If the pins are in satisfactory condition, reinstall the shock absorber (see 05-1).

(7) Level the aircraft using the quick method (see 02-2).

(8) Checking the camber angle


-Place a ruler along the upper edge of the spindle and, using a clinometer, check that the
camber angle is 1° ± 10'. If the check proves unsatisfactory, find the cause of the defect.

(9) Check undercarriage adjustment in up position (see 05-1 ). If the check proves unsatisfac¬
tory, find the cause of the defect.

(1 0) If a check proves unsatisfactory, remove the crash recorder to use the vertical speed re¬
cording (see 171).

TELEFORCE FLEXIBLE CONTROLS

1 - GENERAL (figure 8)
- Ball bearing type flexible controls transmit push-pull movements and are used to provide tension
and compression linkage in the flight control system.
- Flexible controls are installed in aircraft for :
1 - brake chute (type S71 )
2 emergency U/C - doors (type S41 )
3 emergency/parking brake (type S41 )
4 engine (type S71)
5 nose U/C door unlocking (type S71 ).

2- DESCRIPTION (figure 9)

-Central strip 12, made of stainless steel, is integrally connected by pins to the two sliding
endpieces 1 1 ; appropriate endpieces, 1 and 32, are screwed to the ends of endpieces 1 1 and connected

to the power take-offs.


A mid-travel mark 4 is engraved on each sliding endpiece.
Endpiece 1 1 slides in tube 6, and is guided by bronze bush 5.
- Two stainless steel rails 20 serve as ball bearing guides and absorb loads through their positive
attachment to the fixed endpieces ; the latter consist of tube 6, screwed and locked by weld spots 13
onto endpiece head 14.
The rails and fixed endpieces are connected by means of rail endpiece 15 and support 16. This
assembly permits free rotation of the fixed endpiece in relation to the rails and the sheath ; it also
allows the rails to slightly slide in translation with respect to the sheath in order to compensate for the
differences in bending radiuses, thus enabling control distortion up to a minimum radius of 80 mm
(3.1 5 in) for type S41 , and of 200 mm (8 in) for type S71 .
- Safety disk 18 guides the central strip and maintains the distance between rails.
- The central strip slides along two lines of balls, which are kept apart by two crimped ring
cages 21.
- Flexible stainless steel sheath 22 covers the various components of the control. In each fixed
endpiece, the sheath is retained by stop 19 screwed and stuck onto it. The stop is covered with sleeve
nut 17 screwed onto endpiece head 14. Upon assembly, the various parts are sealed by applying sealant
PR 1321, and made non-removable by crimping the flange of sleeve nut 17 into four notches of
endpiece head 14.
Modification 696 not incorporated :
Sleeve nut 17 is screwed onto endpiece head 14, after applying PR sealant providing for sealing
and safetying.
- Depending on the type of assembly, effective tightening is shown by :
-either a band of PR sealant covering the cylindrical section of the sleeve nut and of the
endpiece head (area marked M),
- or a painted line, used to visually check correct tightening.
The sheath only serves as a casing for the various control components and is not designed to
absorb the loads applied to the control.
- The metal sheath is covered with plastic sheath 23 for protection purposes.
- The sheath is fitted with rubber sleeves at the control bearing points on airframe, where it is
attached by means of rubber-coated collars (once the collars are tightened, the sheath can slide in
translation).

TELEFLEX FLEXIBLE CONTROLS

1 - GENERAL( Figure 8)
-Ball bearing type flexible controls transmit push-pull movements and are used to provide
tension and compression linkages in the control systems.
-Flexible controls are installed in aircraft for:
1 - brake chute (type TFX1 5)
2 - emergency undercarriage (type TFX10)
3 - emergency/parking brake (type TFX1 0)
4 - engine (typeTFX15T)
5 - nose U/C door unlocking (type TFX1 5T)

2 - DESCRIPTION (figure 9)
The control consists of the following:
-a stainless steel central strip 12 connected by pins 37 to two sliding rods 11 at the end
of which are screwed appropriate end fittings 1 and 32 connected to the power take-offs.
-the surface of the sliding rods 11 is protected by a self-lubricating coating applied dur¬
ing production.
-two stainless steel rails 17 serving as ball races and absorbing the loads. These two rails
are guided by a shoe at each end and their travel is limited by guide stops 16, the back-and-
forth motion of which is restrained with a clearance between the adapter 1 9 and the end fit¬
ting 6. This assembly permits free rotation of the rod 11 with the strip 12 and rails 17; it also
allows the rails to slightly slide in translation with respect to the sheath in order to compensate
for the differences in bending radii, thus enabling control distortion up to a minimum radius of:
-150 mm (6 in) forTFXIO
-180 mm (7 in) forTFX15
-the controls are designed to operate with a maximum system angle "a" of 270°. The sys¬
tem angle is the angle determined by the position of the end fittings in place in the aircraft.
The following controls have a system angle a :
-emergency undercarriage: a = 180°,
-emergency/parking brake: a = 90°,
-nose U/C door unlocking: a = 141°.
-the central strip slides along two lines of balls which are kept apart by two cages 18
each consisting of two foil strips having stamped holes to accommodate the balls and assem¬
bled together by electric weld spots between the balls.
-the adapter 19 and the end fitting 6 are screwed together and safetied by a cup washer
13 crimped after tightening in two blind holes of the end fitting.
-the moving parts of the two types of controls are the same and have the same dimen¬
sions. The only difference rests in the outside diameter of the end fittings 6 and the threaded
portion of the sliding rods 1 1 :
-TFX10 : end fitting 6 = M8x1 threads
sliding rod 11= M4x0.7 threads
-TFX15 : end fitting 6 = M10x1 threads
sliding rod 1 1 = M6x1 threads,
-the fixed end fittings are crimped and should not rotate over the sheath,
-the sheath is used to maintain the spacing between the various components of the con¬
trol and to absorb the loads applied to the latter.
-the sheath is fitted with rubber sleeves at the control bearing points on the airframe,
where it is attached by means of rubber-coated collars (once the collars are tightened, the
sheath can slide in translation).
-each type of control has a different sheath:
-TFX10: right-hand twisted stainless steel strips 20 (230 mm pitch) maintained by a
left-hand twisted strip (5 mm pitch) protected by heat-shrinkable tubing 14.
-TFX15: right-hand twisted carbon steel wire strand 22 (220 mm pitch) placed bet¬
ween an inner Teflon tube 21 and an outer Teflon sleeve 23.

- The sliding end-piece terminating in the pressurized zone of the cockpit is sealed by nut 2 fitted
with o-ring 3.
-In the pressurized zone, the sheath is sealed with seal 29 ; this seal is compressed between
washers 28 and 30 through nut 27 fitted on base 31 , itself attached to frame 10 and 1 1 .
- The fixed end-pieces are mounted in swivel structure supports (eye bolt 9 or swivel support 24) ;
these supports are secured with skirt-type nuts 8 and 10 and lock nut 7 fitted on either side of the ball
joint used for adjusting the control translation. Since the nut skirts are of different lengths, be careful
to mark the installation direction.
- Some controls are supplied preformed to angle ot. This preforming consists in adjusting the rail
length in the fixed end-pieces oriented according to their operational position in aircraft, and taking the
different bend radiuses into account.

The following controls are preformed :

Emergency U/C and doors : a = 180°


Emergency /parking brake : a = 90°
Nose U/C door unlock : a = 141°

3- OPERATING PRINCIPLE

When one of the sliding end-pieces is operated in traction or compression, the movement and stress
are transmitted to the central rod which slides on the balls ; the balls themselves slide on the rails made
integral with the fixed end-pieces. As a reaction, these rails absorb the load stresses transmitted by the
central rod.

-in. the pressurized zone of the cockpit, the sliding rod is sealed by a packing nut 2 fitted
with and O-ring 3 on each side of the control.
-in the pressurized zone, the sheath is sealed by a split seal 29 compressed between a
guide 28 and a washer 30 (in two parts to facilitate installation in the aircraft) by a nut 27 on
a mounting base 31 on the cockpit bulkhead.

-the fixed end fittings are mounted in structural swivel joint supports (eyebolt 9 or swivel
joint cage 24) with a skirt nut 10 and a locknut 7 on each side of the swivel joint used for ad¬
justing the control in translation.
-two grip flats 4 near the sliding rod threads at each end are at right angles to the central
strip and used to hold the latter when tightening the end fittings.

3 - OPERATING PRINCIPLE

When one of the sliding rods is operated in traction or compression, the movement and
the force are transmitted to the central strip which slides on the balls; the balls themselves roll
on the rails placed in the sheath. As a reaction, the sheath absorbs the load transmitted by the
central strip.

7 - CHECK OF CONTROL BEFORE INSTALLATION

A - Lay the control on a workbench, observing the precautions specified in para. 4.

B - Remove the storage protectors from the end fittings ; clean the sliding rods with a dry
clean cloth and slightly lubricate them with ARDROX 397-2 oil.

C - Total travel check (detail G, figure 9)

-Actuate the control through its full range of travel to make sure that it is free from bind¬
ing.
-Measure the length of the sliding rod between its end and the end of the fixed end fit¬
ting (with packing nut loosened):

-in extended position (dimension d),


-in retracted position (dimension d').

-Take these measurements at each end.


-Calculate the total travel: C = d - d'.
-Check that travel is the same at both ends and within the tolerances tabulated hereafter.

D - Mid-travel position check


-Place the control in mid-travel position by aligning the mid-travel mark of one end with
the end of the fixed end fitting (with packing nut and its seal loosened). Check that the over¬
lap of the mid-travel mark at the other end is within a tolerance of 0 to 3 mm (0.1 18 in).
If this requirement is not met, very gently subject the control to a wave motion through its full
length to seat its components, and perform another check.
If this requirement is not met again, forward the control to the next higher repair line.
-Place the control in mid-travel position, then retract the sliding end fitting by half the
useful travel (see table hereafter) and make sure that the sliding rod flat does not enter the
packing nut.
-Otherwise, forward the control to the next higher repair line.
-Perform this check at both ends.

7 - CHECK OF CONTROL BEFORE INSTALLATION


A - Lay the control on a workbench, observing the precautions specified in para. 4.

B - Remove the storage protectors from the end fittings. Make sure that sliding rods are per¬
fectly clean ; very lightly wipe them with a clean dry cloth, taking care not to damage the self-
lubrificating coating.

C - Actuate the control through its full range of travel to make sure that the internal tracks are
correctly aligned and the componed are not twisted.

NOTE: When actuating the control by hand for the first time, evidence of binding may be felt
at ends of travel ; this may be due to twisting or offsetting of the internal moving
components caused by control storage. To reposition the components, proceed as fol¬
lows :

-Check the alignment of the sliding rod operating flats at each end ; if they are out of
alignment, adjust the control so that the flats are as horizontal as possible (the central strip is
then vertical). Firmly hold one end of the control and exert a gentle side whipping motion at
the other end along the control curvature plane to untwist the internal components. Repeat the
operation successively from one side then the other side.
-If the flats do not return to the same plane and the control remains stiff, send the control
to the next higher repair line.
-When the flats are in the same plane, subject the control to compression by pushing
fully in so as to obtain the total travel at each end and thereby reset the tracks at the same
level.

D - Total travel check (detail D, figure 9)

-Measure the length of the sliding rod between the start of the threads and the end of the
fixed end fitting (with packing nut loosened):

-in extended position (dimension d),


-in retracted position (dimension d').
-Take these measurements at each end.
-Calculate the total travel: C = d - d'.
-Check that travel is'the same at both ends and within the tolerances tabulated hereafter.

Check that the length of the rod at the other end is within the tolerances for dimension X' in¬
dicated in the table.
-If these dimensions are not obtained, manipulate the control once again as described in
para. C above so that the components are properly positioned.
If the tolerances are not complied with, send the control to the next higher repair line.
-Place the control in mid-travel position, then retract the sliding end fitting by half the

-Check along control path :
-correct tightening of attachment clamps and sheath pressure seal at frame 10
or 11,
-condition of control (distortion, stress or spurious contacts),
-condition of protective plastic sheath (tears, cracks),

MOD 1001 NOT INCORPORATED (TELEFORCE control)

Marking of the plastic sheath and the metal sheath underneath due to friction or spurious
contact is not considered to be dangerous unless the metal sheath is completely worn at the
point of spurious contact. A control which is marked may continue to be used after protecting
the damaged section with 3 to 5 turns of Plioplast 15.

MOD 1001 INCORPORATED (TELEFLEX control)

As the sheath of these controls is subjected to axial stress, only minor damage not impair¬
ing the integrity of the sheath metal section shall be tolerated.
Any sheath distortion (flattening, wrinkling, etc.) or any loss of material from the outer envel¬
ope making it possible to feel or even more to see the steel ropes shall be cause for rejection
of the control.
A control may continue to be used when only the Teflon sheath is marked, after protection the
damaged section with 3 to 5 turns of Plioplast.

B - Check of axial play swivel support joints

-Attach a dial gauge to an adjacent structural part or to a sheath end fitting by means of
an adequate support, so as to sense the relative play between swivel joint and cage 24.
-Manually operate the control along its length :
-the play read on the gauge should be < 0.2 mm (0.007874 in).
-If it is higher than this tolerance value, the swivel support joint cage or the complete ey¬
ebolt should be replaced.

BREAKDOWN AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

1- BREAKDOWN (Figure 1)

The two main undercarriage legs are hinged in the fuselage. The askew hinge pins provide a
sufficient track and a clearing retraction trajectory. The legs are retracted forward. The design is such
that a linkage turns a swivelling assembly carrying the wheels through 180° during retraction. The
dimensions of the retracted legs are thus minimum.

The L/H and R/H main U/C legs are symmetrical.

Each main U/C leg includes :


- one leg 1
- one elastic rod 3
- one telescopic rod assembly 5
- one actuating jack assembly 7
- two wheels (See section 5)
- two brakes (See section 7).

Retraction of the actuating jack rod causes extension of the leg and the telescopic rod which is
automatically locked at end of travel.

Extension of the actuating jack rod (after unlocking of the telescopic rod) causes retraction of the
leg and the telescopic rod.

NOTE : The undercarriage well is closed by :


- one door controlled by the leg
- two main doors controlled by a jack.

CONTROL LINKAGE

A Retraction (Figure 2)

Setting U/C control lever to retraction position simultaneously causes pressure application to
actuating jack 7 and unlocking of telescopic rod 5.

As the rod of actuating jack 7 is extended, leg 1 turns about its attaching pin on the structure and
causes retraction of telescopic rod 5.

During retraction, elastic rod 3 turns the swivelling assembly through a bellcrank and rod system,
thereby changing the direction of the wheels and reducing the undercarriage protrusion in up position
(detail F).

At the end of retraction, the U/C leg attaching roller engages the hook of an uplock which locks
the U/C leg in retracted position.

B Extension

Pressurization of the undercarriage extension system simultaneously unlocks the U/C leg uplock
box and supplies actuating jack 7 which causes extension of the U/C leg.

During extension, elastic rod 3 controls rotation of the swivelling assembly.

At the end of extension, the internal lock of telescopic rod 5 immobilizes the U/C leg in the down
position while elastic rod 3, the connecting rod and bellcrank lock the swivelling assembly and correctly
position the wheels (alignment).

C Hard-landing detector linkage (modification 692 incorporated)

- When the undercarriage is locked in the down position, the detector is in active position and
detects the landing impact force.
- When the undercarriage is in the up position, the detector is in the deactivated position and
is not subjected to the stress of inflight acceleration.

UNDERCARRIAGE LEGS

The LH and RH undercarriage legs are symmetrical.

Each leg is essentially composed of (Figure 3) :


- one structural box assembly 21
- one shock absorber assembly 22.

1 - STRUCTURAL BOX ASSEMBLY (Figures 3 to 8)


The structural box assembly is the major component of the undercarriage leg structure.

A Upper section (Figures 3 and 4)

The upper section includes a trunnion A and a female clevis B hinged in two self-aligned male
clevis integral with the aircraft structure.

Trunnion A is protected by a bush 27 and accomodates a plug 28 used to facilitate installation


of the U/C leg on aircraft (Figure 4). Plug 28 is retained in place by clamping the lining.
Bushed clevis B is provided with a hollow pin 29 which houses a grooved lubricator 30.
A sleeve 31 is centred in hollow pin 29. A bolt 34 locks the assembly. Sleeve 31 supports a
swivelling coupling 33.

Pre-modification 298
Sleeve 31 is centred in hollow pin 29 on one side and in a bracket 32 on the other side. A bolt 34
locks the assembly. Sleeve 31 supports swivelling coupling 33 ; both parts are integral with bracket 32.

In this section of the structural box (Figure 3), two trunnions C and D are mounted, supporting
the actuating jack and the telescopic rod, respectively. Both trunnions are equipped with a bush 36,
a trunnion 37 attached by a pin 38, a cup 39 and a nut 40 (Figure 4).

A clevis 35 is mounted on the structural box outer bracing. This bushed clevis accommodates the
link of the fairing.
Modification 692 incorporated :
the structural box outer bracing also receives the hard landing detector hand-shaped support,
-
secured by two screws and nuts.

Modification 699 incorporated :


-the hard landing detector support, which is fitted on the LH undercarriage leg, incorporates
a support console 10 for the control of microswitch 9A in «U/C up and locked» position.

B Centre section (Figure 5)

The centre section supports a system controlling the swivelling assembly which consists of the
following :
-one bellcrank 41 swivelling in two structural box bushes 42 and 43. One bolt 44 locks bellcrank
41 and grooved lubricator 45.
Bellcrank 41 is provided with a bushed female clevis accommodating the elastic rod, and a male
clevis fitted with a self -aligning bearing 46.
- one connecting rod 47 coupled to bellcrank 41 through a pin 48. Connecting rod 47
accommodates a plate 49 used to align the three points K, L, M.
- one cardan joint 50 equipped with two pins 51 and 52 connecting rod 47 to the swivelling
assembly. As its bore is eccentred, bush 53 supporting pin 52 permits adjustment of the wheel
alignment. A toothed washer 54 engaging the notches on the shoulder of bush 53, retains the latter in
the desired position.

A stop 55 retains pin 52 and limits the travel of the swivelling assembly by bearing on the
structural box at the end of undercarriage retraction.

C Lower section (Figure 6)

The lower section is provided with a machined surface accommodating a shim 60 and a clevis. The
surfaces in contact with the shim and the clevis are serrated. On the clevis is mounted an U/C-up locking
roller 56 through a pin 57. On the same pin, two rollers 58 on either side of the clevis, guide locking
roller 56 at its end of travel by bearing on the attach fitting of the uplock.
The rollers are positioned through shim 60 permitting the clevis to be adjusted in transverse position
through the upper serrated surface and in height through a peel shim.

Pre-amendment A
Shim 60 and the clevis accommodating U/C-up locking roller 56 are mounted on the structural
box of the leg through a bracket 59 attached by two screws.

The lower section of the structural box assembly consists of three major components : one swivel
tube, one swivel arm and one axle.

(1) Swivel tube 61 (Figure 6)

The tube features at the top two bushed female clevises. One of them receives cardan joint 50
described in above para. (2), and the other shock absorber 22.

Swivel tube 61 is retained in position by a two-part ring 64, a nut 65 and a threaded bush 66. The
tube 61 turns in structural box bushes 67 and 68.

A nozzle 69 housed in the bore of the swivel tube provides the hydraulic connection from
swivelling coupling 70 to the swivel arm pin, on the one hand, and locates lubricating sleeve 71, on the
other hand.

(2) Swivel arm 62 (Figures 7 and 8)

The swivel arm is provided with two female clevises : one is hinged on swivel tube 61, and the
other accommodates shock absorber 22.

Fixed shaft 72 connects swivel arm 62 to swivel tube 61 and makes the hydraulic connection from
nozzle 69 to swivelling couplings 75 and 76 through two extensions 73 and 74.

A bush 77 and a pin 78 held in place by two screws are used to attach shaft 72 and swivelling
coupling 76. Bush 77 is also fitted with a clevis constituting an attachment point for debugging the
aircraft forward. Swivelling coupling 75 is attached by three screws to the shoulder of shaft 72.

The rear end of the swivel arm (Figure 8) accommodates a ring 79 forming an attachment point
for jacking-up and debugging the aircraft rearwards.

Ring 79 is hinged on the swivel arm through a pin. It is pressed on a stop 80 through a spring. A
bush 81 and a pin 82 retain the ring hinge pin and a stud 83 locks stop 80 against rotation.

(3) Axle 63 (Figure 8)

Axle 63 is tight-fitted to a bore in swivel arm 62. This is a double axle supporting the brake units
and the wheels.

The axle carries at each end two cups 84 and two nuts 85 used to attach the wheels. Attachment
to the swivel arm is reinforced by a plug 88 and a screw 86.

Screw 86 mounted in a yoke 87 also accommodates a tube 89 used to guide and protect an
electrical wire bundles connected to a pressure switch of the braking system.

D Equipment (Figure 3)

An electrical wire bundle is routed along the structural box. It makes the electrical interconnection
between the structure and :
- switch 90 located on shock absorber 22
- two tachometer generators mounted in axle 63
- connection unit 91 secured under the swivel arm.

Two sets of pipes (normal and emergency systems) supply the hydraulic fluid to the brakes
through various swivelling couplings.
- coupling 33 interconnects the hydraulic pipes attached to structural box 21 and those secured to
the aircraft structure.
- coupling 70 interconnects the hydraulic pipes of the structural box and those of the swivelling
assembly.
- couplings 75 and 76 interconnect the hydraulic pipes housed in the swivel tube and those
attached to the swivel arm.

Hydraulic pipes and electrical wire bundles are secured by clamps.

E Operation (Figure 5)

This is limited to the linkage controlling the motion of swivel tube 61 .

Theoretically, aligning the three points K, L and M is sufficient to lock the swivel tube whatever
the actions from ground.

As a matter of fact, such an alignment is stable only in the traction direction. Consequently, the
assembly is stabilized in the compression direction by a slight misalignment N, bringing connecting
rod 47 and the arm of bellcrank 41 into abutment.

In practice, this misalignment can be adjusted by altering the thickness of stop 49 which
immobilizes connecting rod 47 and bellcrank 41, after alignment of points K, L and M.

2- SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY (Figures 9 and 10)

The same shock absorber is used for the L/H and R/H undercarriage legs. The shock absorber is
equipped with a switch 90.

A Description (Figure 9)

This is a double-acting (compression - expansion) oleopneumatic shock absorber of the separator


piston type.

The shock absorber is essentially composed of :


- one stationary assembly connected to swivel tube 61
- one moving assembly connected to swivel arm 62.

(1) Stationary assembly

The stationary assembly consists of a cylinder 92 screwed in an upper end 93. It also provides
attachment of a rod assembly 100.

Cylinder 92 accommodates a bush 94 which guides the slide rod. If comprises an external boss
which accommodates the switch control mechanism composed of a roller-equipped rocker 96 which
drives rocker 97 which in turn controls switch assembly 90.

Modification 609 not incorporated :


-the roller-equipped rocker 96 is composed of a ball 96.

B Operation (Figure 1 1)

The operation of the shock absorber is broken down into two phases :

( 1 ) Compression phase

Sinking of rod 106 causes the hydraulic fluid to flow from chamber G to chambers H and J.

The fluid flow is restricted by valve 105 which is pressed on its seat, and by cover 115. Valve 104
opens under the action of the fluid.

The fluid which cannot enter chamber H as a result of the different internal passage areas of
cylinder 92 and rod 106, causes separator piston 108 to sink, and consequently the pressure of the
gaseous mass in chamber F to increase.

At the beginning of compression, roller (or ball, if Modification 609 is not incorporated) 96 sinks
and rocker 97 pivots, thereby actuating switch 90.

(2) Expansion phase

Under the expansion effect of the gas compressed in chamber F, the shock absorber is extended,
thereby causing the hydraulic fluid to flow from chambers H and J to chamber G.

As valve 104 is pressed on its seat, fluid.exchange between chambers H and G takes place only
through the calibrated bores of cover 115. The so obtained fluid restriction is much greater than during
the compression phase.

Fluid exchange between chambers J and G virtually takes place freely, since valve 105 is lifted.

At the end of expansion, rod 106 frees roller (or ball, if Modification 609 is not incorporated)
96 and consequently rocker 97 reverses the contacts in switch 90.

ELASTIC ROD
(Figure 12)

The same elastic rod is mounted on the L/H and R/H main undercarriage legs.

1 - DESCRIPTION

The elastic rod controls the motion of the swivelling assembly and locks it in the U/C up and down
positions.

This rod consists of a stationary assembly comprised of a rod 21 screwed at one end in a
housing 22, and a moving assembly with short travel, consisting of a rod end assembly 23.

Rod 21 accommodates at the other end an adjustable end 24 with a self-aligning bearing. A hole T
in rod 21 is used to check with a gauge, that a minimum number of threads of rod end 24 is engaged,
when performing adjustment.

Two bushes 25 and 26 guide the moving assembly. Two other bushes 27 and 28 integral with the
latter are used to space a stack of eight sets of three washers 29. This stack is retained by a threaded
sleeve 30 safetied by a taper pin.

Elastic rod end 23 is connected to a structural point of the aircraft. Rod end 24 is connected to
bellcrank 41 through pin assembly 31 . The latter is a shouldered pin retained by a nut 32.

2- OPERATION

The elastic rod may be compared to a strong spring, with high operating threshold, behaving like :

- a rigid rod when external forces are below the threshold (as the undercarriage legs are moving).
- a traction spring, as it is elongated (U/C down).
- a compression spring, as it is shortened (U/C up).

The linkage is such that the rod is longer in the U/C down position than in the U/C up position.
The length of the rod at rest is adjusted between the two positions.

TELESCOPIC ROD

The telescopic rods of the LH and RH main undercarriage legs are symmetrical. They are equipped
with switch 9G1 or 9G2.

1 - DESCRIPTION (figures 13 and 14)

The telescopic rod ensures wind-bracing and mechanical locking of the undercarriage leg in the
down position.

The telescopic rod is essentially composed of :


- one stationary assembly attached to the aircraft structure through a cardan yoke ;
- one moving assembly attached to the undercarriage leg.

Except for chamber H, all chambers of the telescopic rod are connected to each other and air
vented through port T.

A Stationary assembly

The stationary assembly consists of cylinder 21 terminating at one end in a bushed female clevis.
On cylinder 21 is mounted locking cylinder 22. A nut 23 and key attach locking cylinder 22 and
locking sleeve 24 to cylinder 21 .

Locking cylinder 22 features two bosses ; one of them supports hydraulic coupling 25, and the
other switch 9G1 or 9G2 actuated by rocker assembly 27.

Switch 9G1 or 9G2 is provided with three microswitches which are connected to the undercarriage
control sequence circuit, the undercarriage control warning circuit and the undercarriage-locked-down
aural warning circuit.

A base 28 attached by nut 29 to locking cylinder 22 retains locking piston 30 and return spring
31 in the locking cylinder.

On locking piston 30, a lever 32 drives rocker assembly 27.

B Moving assembly

The moving assembly consists of rod 33, housing at one end an adjustable end fitting 34 equipped
with a self-aligning bearing 35. A hole T in this rod end is used as a venting port and as a reference
point for checking the minimum number of engaged threads.

At the other end, a threaded ring 36, screwed on rod 33 and safetied by a split pin, retains both
the clip 37 and the piston 38.

MODIFICATION 643 NOT INCORPORATED : Piston 38 is secured against rotation by cotter


pin 26.

Amendment not incorporated : Clip 37 and piston 38 are retained by a bush 36 screwed inside
rod 33 and safetied by a setscrew on piston 38, itself secured by key 26.

Rod 33 is guided, in part, by piston 38 and, in part, by the bore of base 28.

C Telescopic rod/aircraft structure connections (Figure 14)

At the structural box, telescopic rod end 34 engages trunnion D described under «STRUCTURAL
BOX ASSEMBLY» - upper section.

The telescopic rod is hinged at the structural point of the aircraft through a cardan yoke 50. This
yoke includes a pin 51 providing the aircraft hinge. A screw 53 locks pin 51 and associated grooved
lubricator 52.

The bushed clevis of the yoke accommodates pin 54 which interconnects the yoke and the
telescopic rod. This hollow pin is attached by a nut 55. A plug 56 limits the injected volume of grease.

2- OPERATION (Figure 15)

The telescopic rod is not a driver component. The sliding rod motion is controlled by the
undercarriage leg which is in turn driven by the actuating jack. Only rod unlocking is hydraulically
controlled.

A Rod extension - locking

Rod 33 is driven by the undercarriage leg during extension.

At the end of extension, the claws of lock 37 are bent to clear locking sleeve 24. Then, they push
locking piston 30 by compressing spring 31. Piston 38 abuts on locking sleeve 24, thereby limiting the
travel of the rod in the extension direction.

As the claws of lock 37 are no longer bent by locking sleeve 24, they separate by spring effect.

Under the action of spring 31, locking piston 30 returns to the initial position and slides under the
claws of the lock. The latter is stopped and firmly immobilizes the telescopic rod.

As locking piston 30 slides under the claws of lock 37, lever 32 turns and reverses the contacts of
switch 9G1 or 9G2.

B Unlocking - rod retraction

The hydraulic pressure applied through coupling 25 acts on annular passage area S and causes
locking piston 30 to move back. The locking piston travel is limited by bottom 28.

As lever 32 is released by the claws of lock 37, it frees rocker 27, thereby causing reversal of the
contacts of switch 9G1 and 9G2.

Rod 33 driven by the undercarriage leg during retraction, is actuated in the retraction direction.

The claws of lock 37 freed by locking piston 30 are bent and clear locking sleeve 24.

Rod continues retracting until the undercarriage leg is locked in the retracted position.

Piston 30 returns to the rest position under the action of spring 31, as hydraulic system 31 is
connected to the reservoir.

ACTUATING JACK

The actuating jacks of the L/H and R/H undercarriage legs are symmetrical. They are equipped
with a valve box 22.

1 - DESCRIPTION (Figure 16)

These jacks are double-acting hydraulic jacks, without internal lock. Their travel is limited by the
locking systems of the undercarriage legs : locking of the telescopic rod in the down position ; locking
of an uplock in the up position.

Each actuating jack is essentially composed of :


- one stationary assembly attached to a structural point of the aircraft.
- one moving assembly attached to the undercarriage leg.

A Stationary assembly

The stationary assembly consists of a cylinder 21 featuring two bosses used to attach valve box 22,
and one boss supporting coupling 23.

Cylinder 21 accommodates :
one rod 24 centred in a seal retainer 25, and a threaded ring 26 locking both parts to the
-
cylinder.
- one end 27, with a self-aligning bearing 28, screwed in cylinder 21 and attached by a nut 29. A
washer 48 secured to the end by a rivet, limits the angular travel of the jack when the latter is mounted
on aircraft.
- one counter-rod 30 screwed at one end on rod 24, and accommodating piston 31 attached by a
nut 32, at the other end.

B Moving assembly

The moving assembly essentially consists of a rod 33 provided with the following :
- at one end, one bush 34 used to progressively blaiik port P of cylinder 21, at the end of rod
extension ; one piston 35 and one nut 36 simultaneously locking bush 34 and piston 35 to rod 33.
- one bottom 37 immobilized against a shoulder of rod 33 by one threaded ring 38.
- one rod 39, the free end of which is fitted into bore L of rod 24 at the end of rod extension,
thereby progressively preventing fluid exchange between both rods.
- one sleeve 40 in which slides one valve 41 equipped with one restrictor 42 and loaded by one
spring 43.
Rod 39 and sleeve 40 are locked on bottom 37 by threaded ring 44.
- one end 45 equipped with a self-aligning bearing 46. This adjustable end is secured by threaded
ring 47.
A hole T identifies the limit position ensuring a sufficient number of engaged threads.

2- OPERATION (Figure 17)

Extension of the actuating jack rod causes retraction of the undercarriage leg. Retraction of the
jack rod causes extension of the undercarriage leg.

A Rod extension

The rod is extended by applying pressure through port A. The generated driving force results from
the action of the hydraulic pressure on :
- annular passage area S1, between the inside diameter of cylinder 21 and the outside diameter of
counter-rod 30, on the one hand,
inner passage area S2 of rod 33, on the other hand.

At end of travel, two devices restrict the hydraulic fluid flow so as to reduce the retraction rate of
the undercarriage leg :
- blanking of bore L by rod 39 constrains the pressure fluid entering through port A to flow
through the restrictor of valve 41 so as to act on passage areas S1 and S2.
- blanking of port P by bush 34 forces the fluid escaping from the jack to flow through a restrictor
in valve box 22. This restrictor is mounted in series with port M.

In case of overpressure at the end of rod extension, a valve in box 22 opens and the excess fluid
flows out.

B Rod retraction

The rod is retracted by applying pressure to ports P and M through valve box 22. A shuttle valve in
this box controls rod retraction through two independent systems (normal and emergency systems).

The generated force results from the pressure acting on :


-annular passage area S3 between the inside diameter of cylinder 21 and the outside diameter of
rod 33, on the one hand,
- annular passage area S4 between the inside diameter of rod 33 and the outside diameter of
counter-rod 30, on the other hand.

The fluid contained in the chambers decreasing in volume, is directed to the reservoir through
port A.

(3) Install the following parts in succession in the housing :


- bush 27 (correctly directed)
- set of washers 29
- bush 28 (correctly directed).

(4) Hold the housing and screw compression ring C47073 on the former until the set of washers 29 is
sufficiently compressed to install threaded bushing 30.
(5) Install and tighten threaded bushing 30 (adapter C47074) in order to align the safetying holes.
The tightening torque value should be 2 + q-5 m.daN (14.7 + q-6 ft.lb).

(6) Safety threaded bushing 30 by means of a new taper pin 36. Peen and make flush taper pin ends.

(7) Remove compression ring C47073.

B Coat the threads of rod 21 and housing 22 with grease Air 4206.
C - Clamp rod 21 in the vice (protective jaws C47528).
D Screw housing assembly 22 on rod 21 until housing bush 28 comes into contact with the rod.

E Install key 35 (if required, loosen housing 22 to align the slot closest to the key notch).
F Screw and tighten nut 34 (adapter C47527), trying to align its safetying hole with the groove in
rod 21 . Torque value : 5 J § m.daN (36.8 J 1q-7 ft.lb).

NOTE 1 : After tightening nut 34, an internal play of 0.25 mm (0.0098 in) max. is allowed when
slightly pulling and then pushing.

NOTE 2 : If the alignment of the safetying hole cannot be obtained within torque value tolerances, drill
a new hole (2.2 mm diameter) opening in the rod groove and tangential to the groove side
opposite to the screwing direction.

G Safety nut 34 by means of cotter pin 33 with the head placed in the rod groove (see figure).

9- FINAL STEPS
A Check the theoretical rod length (center-to-center distance between rod ends 23 and 24), which
should be 582 ± 0.3 mm (22.9133 ± 0.01 18 in). Adjust rod length as required through rod end 24 (see
05-0). Adjustment is obtained by at least 1/6 of a turn which, for a pitch of 1.50 mm, produces a
variation in length of 0.25 mm (0.0098 in) (the internal play is thus taken up by slight compression).
B Check clearance X between the nut (rod side) mounted on rod end 23, and body 22. This
clearance should be 4.4 ± 0.2 mm (0.1732 ± 0.0078 in) (see detail b). Adjust the clearance as required
through the nut and safety the latter with its retaining ring ; to do this, take up the internal
play by pulling and pushing the rod ; the internal play must be within the tolerances.
C Mount the elastic rod on the press and perform several rod compression and extension cycles,
according to one of the following cases below (maximum retraction dimension X' = 2 mm (0.0787 in)
- see detail b) :

1 st case :
elastic rod with set of washers 29 not replaced :
- perform 5 cycles.

2nd case :
elastic rod with set of washers 29 renewed :
- perform 20 cycles.

D Install the elastic rod on aircraft or place it in storage (see 05-1 ), as applicable.

5- ELASTIC ROD TRAVELS AND ACTUATING JACK CLEARANCES (figures 21M - 18F)

A Lock the U/C leg in down position and drop the pressure.

B- Checks

(1 ) Elastic rod pull travel


-With «X» being the clearance between rod end nut and rod body (recorded when installing the
rod), measure its new value «X1 » in this configuration (see detail a).

It should be : 1.8 mm (0.07 in)< X1 - X < 3.3 mm (0.1299 in).


(2) Actuating jack clearance
Increase pressure to 206 bar (3000 psi).
-
With «J'» being the clearance between rod end lock nut and jack body (recorded when installing
-
the jack), measure its new value «J'1 » in this configuration.

Clearance J'1 - J' should not be less than 2 mm (0.78 in).

C - VERY SLOWLY retract the U/C leg while ensuring that :


- the U/C leg and equipment fitted to it do not interfere with one another and with the structure,
and in particular that there is a clearance exceeding 0.5 mm (0.0196 in) everywhere between cylinder
and shock absorber, at the top ;
- there is a clearance between uplock hook nose and roller, at roller passage ;
- there is no U/C leg contact with the structure other than that of the roller with the hook, in
particular between the actuating jack equipment and the U/C cylinder.

D - Checks

(1 ) Elastic rod compression travel


With «X» being the clearance between rod end nut and rod body (recorded when installing the
-
rod), measure its new value «X2» in this configuration (see detail c).

It should be : X - X2 > 0.8 mm (0.0315 in).


(2) Actuating jack clearance
Increase pressure to 206 bar (3000 psi).
-
With «J» being the clearance between rod end lock nut and jack body (recorded when installing
-
the jack), measure its new value «J1 » in this configuration.

Clearance J J1 should exceed 0.6 mm (0.0235 in).

E Adjustments

(1) Elastic rod travels


-Uncouple the rod from the U/C leg (see 05-1) and adjust its length through its end (see 05-0).

For information, screwing the rod end causes increase of pull travel and decrease of push travel :
1/6 turn = 0.25 mm (0.0098 in).

NOTE : -any excessive push travel increases the U/C uplocking pressure,
-any excessive pull travel increases the U/C downlocking pressure.
Thus, travels should be distributed within above tolerances, taking the pressure values into
account (see 05-6).

(2) Actuating jack clearances


-Uncouple the jack from the U/C leg (see 05-1) and adjust its length through its end (see 05-0).

For information, screwing the rod end causes increase of clearance in U/C-down position and
decrease of clearance in U/C up position : 1/4 turn = 0.4 mm (0.0157 in).

6- POSITION CHECK OF MAIN U/C IN DOWN POSITION


A Preliminary steps
(1 ) Place the aircraft in line of flight (see 02-2).

(2) Represent the following on ground by plumbing :


- longitudinal aircraft axis, starting from points A, B, C, D,
- transverse aircraft axis (frame 25), starting from points CI, C2 (after closing upper or lower U/C
door if required).
B - Checks
(1) Caster action
- Using the plumbing device, represent the axle axis on ground by plumbing the axle ends.
The average point represents axle center 0'.
The distance between axle center 0' and the transverse axis (frame 25) should be 699 ±4 mm
(27.5196 ±0.1574 in).
(2) Wheel camber

(a) Remove the outer wheel.

(b) Remove the brake unit.

(0 Place the clinometer on the upper generatrix of the wheel axle and measure angle a.
Measurement result should be : a= 1° ± 10'.
(d) Measure the distance between axle center 0' (determined when checking the caster action) and 0
on the longitudinal aircraft axis.
Measurement result should be : 1240 ± 4 mm (48.8188 ± 0.1574 in).
(e) Reinstall the brake unit.
(f) Reinstall the outer wheel.
(3) Wheel alignment

(a) On the ground, draw lines (a and b) perpendicular to the longitudinal aircraft axis, at one meter
from each side of axle center 0 (determined when checking the caster action).
(b) Install the ruler support on the outer wheel.
(c) Attach the ruler to the ruler support against wheel rim and set it horizontally using the clinometer ;
represent the outer wheel rim axis by plumbing on perpendicular lines a and b.
-
BB' A A' snou|d be between 0.5 mm (0.0196 in) and 3 mm (0.1 181 in) (toe-in).

C Adjustment
(1) The caster action, wheel camber and alignment can be adjusted at the same time by changing the
length of the telescopic rod in locked extended position (no separate adjustment is possible).
(2) Uncouple the rod from the U/C leg (see 05-1) and adjust the rod through its end (see 05-0).
Adjustment is obtained by at least 1/4 of a turn which, for a pitch of 150 mm, produces a varia¬
tion in length of 0.4 mm (0.0157 in) approximately.
For information : screwing the rod end one turn results in a variation of :
- 2mm (0.0787 in) to 2.5 mm (0.0984 in) of AA',
- 4mm (0.1 574 in) from position 0.
To summarize :

Telescopic rod L Wheel camber Wheel alignment Caster action

- After adjusting the wheel alignment, check the push-pull travel of the elastic rod ; if required,
perform adjustment.

(0.118 in) minimum.
- Lock the U/C leg up and drop the pressure. Check that there is a slight play of the roller in
the hook by actuating the U/C leg sideways.
- Unlock the U/C leg and check :
- roller centering in the hook :
maximum deviation : 1 mm (0.039 in) ;
- correct bearing of the roller inside the hook nose ;
*
L should be 6 ^ ^ mm (0.2362 q Q7g7 in).

(2) Adjustments
(a) Roller centering
Adjusted by displacing the roller on its support through shim washers - thk = 0.5 mm (0.0196 in).
(b) Roller passage clearance and bearing surface
Adjusted by displacing the roller support on a serrated shim of the base plate (serrations of 1 mm -
0.039 in).
- With a pencil, mark the position of the support clevis on the serrated shim.
- Unsafety, unscrew and remove the attachment screw.
- Install a new lockplate and partially screw the attachment screw.
- Move the clevis on the serrated shim by the required value.
- Screw and torque the attachment screw to 3 * *
q m.daN (22.125 q-375 ft.lb).

B Axle slant
(1 ) Remove the wheels.

(2) Check
Retract and lock the U/C leg.
-
Place the clinometer on the upper generatrix of the wheel axle and measure angle i, which should
-
be 10° ± 5'.

C Clearances from structure and doors

(1) Checks
(a) Clearance from structure
- Fit the axles with main U/C wheel templates. Tighten the templates so as to take up any lateral
play and at the same time allow free rotation.
- Retract and lock the U/C leg. Drop pressure.
- Make sure that the wheel templates rotate freely inside the well (no positive stop), and specially
at the following places :
- doors 24.03i and 24.09i
- web of frame 25 (lower section, near captive fasteners of inspection doors)
- door jack pipe bracket
- electrical wiring.
(b) Clearance from doors
Uncouple the lower interconnecting rod of doors.
-
Bring the upper door into abutment against structure by hand.
-
Make sure that the outer template rotates freely (no friction point), especially at the rear section
-
of the door recess.
- Perform the same check with lower door closed and locked.

(2) Setting undercarriage in "up" position.


(a) Should a wheel gauge not fit, measure using Prussian blue or a rule, the maximum play
"Y" to be taken up to enable free movement on door side and on compartment inner wall side.
(b) Remove the roller and its support clevis ; note the position of the roller centering washers
and careffully mark the position of the clevis on the serrated face of the shim.
(c) Remove the shim and measure thickness "e".
(d) Fit and adjust a new peelable shim on the roller support interface ; peel down to thick-
ness E
-E = e + 0.8 Y if the play to be taken up is on the inner wall side of the undercarriage
compartment,
-E = e - 0.8 Y if the play is on the U/C door side,
-the thickness of the new shim should never exceed e + 1 .2 mm (0.047 in), in order to
remain within the adjustment margin of the elastic rod (see para. g).
(e) Install the support clevis on the new shim ; observe the position of the clevis on the ser¬
rated face ; fit a new lockplate, tighten the attachment screw to the specified torque.
(f) Reinstall the roller in its support clevis while observing the centering washer positions.
(g) Check the compression travel of the elastic rod with the U/C locked in "up" position (see
para. 5).
The setting may be readjusted, making sure that the tolerances for the traction travel of
the rod and locking pressures of U/C in downlocked position are observed (see para. 8).
NOTE: A shim thickness increase of 1 mm (0.039 in) results in a reduction of 0.16 mm
(0.00629 in) in the elastic rod compression travel.
(h) Check actuating jack clearances (see para. 5).
(i) Check locking pressures of downlocked U/C (see para. 8).
(j) Lock the attachment screw with the lockplate and cover the screw head with sealant
PR 1422 A2.
(k) Couple the door lower interconnecting rod. Safety the pin nut with a new locking pin.

8 - CHECK OF U/C LOCKING PRESSURES IN DOWNLOCKED POSITION


A - Lock the U/C leg in down position and check the locking pressure.
P1 should be < 150 bar (2175 psi).
B - Unlock the U/C leg and uncouple the elastic rod from the U/C leg. Lock the U/C leg
again in down position (while holding swiveling assembly as it swivels) and check locking
pressure P2.
P1 - P2 should be > 75 bar (1087 psi).
Connect the elastic rod.

9 - FINAL STEPS
-SAFETY THE ADJUSTABLE ROD END LOCK NUTS (See 05-0).
-Safety all pins and trunnions of the hinges concerned by the operation.
-Check and adjust the fairing door as required (see 05-2).
-Check undercarriage and door operating pressures (see 05-6).
-Conduct undercarriage operating tests (see 05-6).
-Check and, if necessary, correct the adjustment of microswitch 9A (see 08-0).
-Make sure that the screw attaching the roller support clevis is correctly safetied and
coated with PR 1422.
-Coat the exposed threads of jack ends with PR 1321 A2 compound.

B Checks prior to replacement of pin

- Thoroughly clean the bore of the pin and the broken pin using Pyrolac solvent.
- Carefully inspect the bore using an endoscope or a magnifying glass under powerful light in order
to reveal all traces of deep scoring, metal stripping or corrosion.

CAUTION :
SHOULD ANY DEFECT SHOW UP, THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE LEG SHOULD BE SENT
TO THE NEXT HIGHER REPAIR LINE. NO TOUCH-UP WHATSOEVER OF THE BORE IS
PERMITTED.

- Should the bore prove in good condition, measure the broken pin diameter in order to determine
the diameter of the replacement pin (nominal or oversize dimension). From the set of spare pins, select
the one whose diameter corresponds to that of the broken pin.

C Installation of spare pin

- Thoroughly clean the spare pin with Pyrolac solvent.


- Sparingly coat the bore with Mastinox.
- Once the liquid nitrogen has stopped boiling in the container, immerse the pin in nitrogen for
at least, one minute.

WARNING :
TAKE ALL SAFETY MEASURES PRESCRIBED FOR HANDLING OF LIQUID NITROGEN
(RISK OF BURNS). DO NOT HANDLE THE PIN WITH NAKED HANDS.

- Fit the pin into the bore immediately after removing it from liquid nitrogen and drive it into
place, using a mallet if necessary.

4- FINAL STEPS

- Reinstall the shock absorber (see 05-1 ).

UNDERCARRIAGE DOOR UNLOCKING CONTROL


(Figure 2)

1 - DESCRIPTION
The undercarriage door unlocking control consists of two systems, one L/H and one R/H system,
each uncluding :

-one unlocking jack 1 or 2 hinged on the U/C truss fitting on the one hand, and on the bellcrank
support fitting, on the other hand.
-one torque linkage composed of one bellcrank 7, four rods 8 and two control levers 9. The
linkage is reset to the operating position through a return spring mounted at the forward locks 10G1 or
10G2.
- two mechanical locks 10G1 and 3 or 10G2 and 4 retaining the doors in closed position. Forward
lock 10G1 or 10G2 is equipped with a switch indicating that the doors are locked.
The locks are bolted to the aircraft structure through a serrated support plate used to adjust the lock
position.
- one ground unlocking control composed of a sheathed cable actuated by a handle 5 hinged on
the aircraft structure and retained in stowage position by a clip.
- one rocker 10 swivelling about the bellcrank pin, and retained in rest position by a spring.

2- OPERATION

A Unlocking in flight

Under the action of the hydraulic pressure, the jack rod is retracted, which causes bellcrank 7 to
swivel thereby actuating the torque linkage which opens mechanical locks 10G1 and 3 or 10G2 and 4
and frees the door rollers.

B Unlocking on ground

Unlocking on ground is controlled by handle 5 which tilts and drives the cable pivoting rocker 10
and actuating the linkage, thereby causing locks 10G1 and 3 or 10G2 and 4 to open.

UNDERCARRIAGE DOOR CONTROL LINKAGE


(Figure 3)

1- DESCRIPTION

The three main U/C doors closing the U/C wells are controlled :
- For the U/C leg fairing, by a cardan joint type torque link 1 1 hinged on the aircraft structure, on
the one hand, and on the U/C leg on the other hand. A Pip-pin 12 provides quick uncoupling of the link
from the door, so as to facilitate access inside the U/C well.
- For the two upper and lower doors, by a torque mechanism mounted on frame 22.
This mechanism consists of three rods 13, and two control levers 14 equipped with bearings.

The lower door is actuated by a hydraulic jack 6.

All rods are hinged by self-aligned pins. The bearings of the doors, control levers and hydraulic
jack consist of the aircraft structure.

The four adjustable rubber stops 15-16-17-19, two 15-16 for the upper and lower doors at C22
and C25, and two 17-19 for the fairing at C27 and C29 stress the doors in closed position.

2- DOOR CONTROL LINKAGE

A Door closing

(1) U/C leg fairings


Closing of the U/C leg fairing is slaved to the U/C leg retraction through torque link 1 1 .

In closed position, the fairing comes into contact with stops 17-19.

(2) Upper and lower doors


As the doors are closed, the retracting rod of hydraulic jack 6 actuates the lower door and,
through the linkage, the upper door.

The linkage is so designed that during the closing sequence, the lower door lags the upper door.

The rolling tracks of the lower door come into contact with upper door rollers 18.

Jack 6 continues moving, and the lower door covers the lower edge of the upper door which is
pressed on the two stops 15 and 16, as well as the forward edge of the U/C leg fairing.

All doors are then stressed by stops 15-16-17-19 and immobilized by locks 10G1 - 10G2 - 3 and 4.

UNDERCARRIAGE DOOR JACKS

The L/H main U/C door jack is similar to the R/H main U/C door jack.

1 - DESCRIPTION (Figure 4)

This jack opens and closes the doors. This is a double-acting hydraulically controlled jack which is
internally locked by claws in the rod extension direction. It is equipped with a switch 6G1 (L/H jack)
or 6G2 (R/H jack).

A Stationary assembly

This assembly consists of :


- one cylinder 21 equipped with a self-aligning bearing 22 hinging the jack on the structure. Two
bosses G and S accommodate a shuttle valve.
- one cylinder 23 attached to cylinder 21 by nut 24. Cylinder 23 is provided with a hydraulic fluid
supply coupling 25, and a rocker 26 hinged between a socket 27 and a plate 28. This rocker controls
the microswitch of switch 6G1 or 6G2 connected to the undercarriage control sequence system.

Locking sleeve 29 retained between cylinder 21, and an internal shoulder of cylinder 23 forms
with piston 30 and return spring 31, the internal locking device of the jack.

Piston 30 is equipped with a lever 32 actuating rocker 26.

B Moving assembly

This assembly essentially consists of a sliding rod 33 equipped with piston 34 and lock 35 at one
end, and with an adjustable self-aligned rod end 36 making the connection to the door, at the other
end.

2- OPERATION (Figure 5)

A Rod extension - locking

Extension of rod 33 controls opening of the main U/C doors. The hydraulic pressure applied to
the jack through a shuttle valve fitted to boss S, acts on passage area S1 of the moving assembly and
causes it to move.

Throughout the rod extension phase, the fluid expelled from chamber P freely flows through
port A.

At the end of rod extension, the claws of lock 35 are bent to clear locking sleeve 29 ; then they
push piston 30 and separate by spring effect as sleeve 29 is cleared.

^£S^-^^> Restricted MANUAL 05

Rod assembly 33 has then reached end of travel, as it abuts on sleeve 29. Under the action of
return spring 31, piston 30 comes again into contact with sleeve 29 and engages the claws of lock 35,
thereby locking rod 33.

As piston 30 stops moving, i.e. at the end of locking, lock 35 rotates lever 32 which actuates
rocker 26, thereby reversing the contacts of switch 6G 1 or 6G2.

B Unlocking - rod retraction

The hydraulic pressure applied through port A simultaneously acts on annular passage area S2 of
the moving assembly, and on locking piston 30. It causes the latter to move back, thereby freeing
lock 35 and rocker 26.

As lock 35. is moved by rod 33, the lock claws are bent and clear sleeve 29, which permits rod
retraction and consequently door closing.

Rocker 26 is no longer actuated by lever 32 ; it allows the contacts of switch 6G1 or 6G2 to be
reversed.

Throughout the rod retraction phase, the fluid expelled from chamber M freely flows through
port B.

When the jack is coupled to the doors, the rod retraction travel is limited by the doors abutting on
their locks. The doors are abutting before the jack is internally stopped.

Piston 30 returns against sleeve 29 under the action of spring 31, as the jack is connected to the
hydraulic reservoir through port A.

UNLOCKING JACK
(Figure 6)

The unlocking jacks of the LH main U/C door, RH main U/C door and nose U/C doorare identical.
On the nose U/C door unlocking jack, the hydraulic pipe connection is achieved through a
connection block.

1 - DESCRIPTION

The jack unlocks the corresponding doors during the undercarriage retraction and extension phases.
This is a single-acting jack which is hydraulically controlled and mechanically reset.

The unlocking jack is essentially composed of :


-one cylinder 21 provided with a yoke A for attachment to the structure, and hydraulic fluid
supply ports N (normal) and S (emergency).
-one sleeve 22 keeping the normal and emergency systems independent of each other, and
guiding the moving parts of the jack.
- one piston 23 only used for the emergency control.
- one piston 24 supporting a cup 25.
- one spring 26 loading pistons 23 and 24.
- one seal retainer 27 attached by a threaded ring which also guides spring 26.
- one tie-rod 28, with an adjustable self-aligned rod end 29 to connect the jack to the door hook
unlocking linkage.

2- OPERATION

During normal supply, the hydraulic pressure is applied through port N. This pressure acts on
passage area S1 of piston 24, which retracts the latter, and consequently tie-rod 28, and compresses
spring 26. Through a mechanism external to the jack, tie-rod 28 controls door unlocking.

When the jack is no longer supplied, spring 26 returns piston 24 to the neutral position. Tie-rod 28
is returned to the initial position by a spring of the door hook unlocking mechanism.

During emergency supply, the hydraulic pressure is applied through port «S». This pressure acts
on passage area S1 of piston 23 which drives piston 24. All the following jack operating sequences are
the same as those with normal supply.

The input travel of tie-rod 28 is free in relation to piston rod 24, so that spring 26 is not loaded
during door manual unlocking.

-Connect the hydraulic power unit, set to slow running, to the self-sealing couplings of
system 1 .

WARNING:
TAKE ALL RELEVANT SAFETY MEASURES (SEE 01 -0).

-Lightly coat the lower door rollers with Prussian blue.


- Place a pad of modeling paste at the bottom of the lower and upper door recesses pro¬
vided for passage of the wheel, and at the bottom of the fairing door recess, in line with the
swivel head of the lower U/C hinge.
-Open access doors 21 .03 and 21 .09.

4 - PROCEDURE

Any abnormality encountered during checking shall entail the corresponding adjustment.

After correcting the faulty adjustment, return to this operation to confirm the validity of
the readjustment and to continue the checks.

A - Check of adjustment

-With doors open and locked.


-Check that there is a minimum clearance "b" of 1 mm (0.0393 in) between the door
edge on hinge side and the fuselage skin.

(1 ) During U/C leg retraction

(a) While retracting the U/C legs and closing the doors VERY SLOWLY, check that:
-there is a clearance at all points between the doors and the U/C legs and their equip¬
ment throughout the leg travel,
-the upper door is engaged before the lower door with a clearance of 26 ± 2 mm
(1.01 ± 0.078 in) (distance "d" in detail B).

NOTE: The clearance should be measured at the support finger of the front roller as the ruler
that is held between the door edges arrives at the horizontal.

-The doors contours should match the fuselage contour.


-The doors should not be "floating".
-Slowly extend the U/C legs.
-Perform a complete door opening, U/C leg extension and door closing cycle VERY
SLOWLY.
-Cut off the hydraulic pressure.
-Manually open the doors.
-Carefully recover the pads of modeling paste; their thickness should confirm that there is
a clearance:
-between the wheel and the bottom of the corresponding recesses in the lower and
upper doors,
-between the swivel head of the lower U/C fastener and the corresponding recess in
the fairing door.
-Uncouple connecting rod 59 from the upper door; secure the rod.
-Hydraulically close the lower door and, during the travel, check:
-clearance "J" (passage between lower door hooking rollers and hook noses) is at
least 4 mm (0.157 in).
-The lower door locks are locked in the following order:
-rear lock then front lock.
-Door warp:
-the door protrusion at the front lock with the rear lock closed must be 8 ± 2 mm
(0.31496 ± 0.074 in).
-Cut off the hydraulic pressure.
-Manually open the door and check:
-the lock unlocking order: rear lock, then front lock,
-the traces of Prussian blue on the hook noses,
-the centering of the rollers with respect to the hooks.
The following should be obtained: 0 ± 1 .5 mm (0 ± 0.059 in),
-the correct bearing of the rollers inside the hook noses.

L should be = 6 _ « mm (0.236 _ no787'n) m'n'mum-


- Reconnect the upper door connecting rod 59.

(2) Manual opening control

-Check the control cable for condition.


-Unlock the locks, then check that the control handle returns normally to its neutral posi¬
tion and that the linkage is returned by its spring. If a defect is detected, determine the cause
(binding of hinges, etc.).
-With control handle held by its spring clip, check that the unlocking jack rod is com¬
pletely extended and that the actuating lever has only a slight clearance- with the control bell¬
crank. This result is obtained by acting on the cable sheath tensioning screw. In case of
abnormality, determine the cause (jack, linkage or cable) and correct as necessary:

replaced by a modified assembly.

(5) Check of jack rod clearance (retracted)

-Extend the jack rod.


-Reconnect the jack to the door; tighten the nut onto the pin but do not safety.
-Close and lock the lower door.
-Measure the dimension with rod retracted and compare it with the dimension measured
in para. (A) where the jack was not connected.
The clearance should be:
^ 3 mm (0.1 1 8 in) when pressure is applied,
> 5 mm (0.196 in) when pressure is dropped.
-If necessary, readjust the jack rod end to within the limits of the door opening toler¬
ances.

B - Adjustment of upper door

-Bring the door to closed position, in contact with stops 1 5 and 1 6.


-Adjust the stops so as to obtain, without stress, the flush position of the door at each
stop level. Then, from this position, loosen the stops by one-and-a-half turns. Tighten locknut.
-Adjust interconnecting rods 57 and 59 to theoretical length.
-intermediate rod 57: 317 mm (12.48 in),
-upper rod 59: 441 mm (17.36 in).

NOTE: - During adjustment, take care to position the ends in the same plane. Torque the lock-
nuts to 4 m.daN (30 ft.lb).
- When reinstalling rod 59, position the clevis so as to avoid contact between the bot¬
tom of the recess and the gooseneck during movement of the door (see detail C).

-Reconnect rod 13 to the lower door.

NOTE: If the rod was removed, it should be positioned upon reinstallation so as to avoid con¬
tact between the bottom of the clevis recess and the gooseneck of the door (see detail

-If required, readjust the length of rod 59.


-increase the rod length to reduce the clearance,
-reduce the rod length to increase the clearance,
-continue closing the doors until they lock, and check:
-the order of locking: rear lock and then front lock,
-the flush position of the doors with respect to the fuselage contour
(see detail E).
-Open the doors as follows:
-by manual actuation of the lever for the front lock,
-by means of the previously removed lever for the rear lock.
C - Adjustment of lock control linkage
NOTE: When pinning the locks, make sure that the pins pass through completely
(20 mm 0.8 in) penetration).
-Disconnect the actuating rods from the rear and front locks.
-Unhook the spring of the front lock lever.
-Check the structural clearances (1 mm min) of the bellcranks by fully actuating the ma¬
nual control. If necessary, adjust the length of the horizontal rod.
-Pin both locks with the hooks closed (3 mm (0.117 in) dia pins).
-Adjust the length of the rear lock actuating rod, then the front lock actuating rod to ob¬
tain correct connection without stress.
NOTE: The lower pin of the rear lock rod must be directed with its head toward the front of
the aircraft so as to prevent any structural stop. If necessary, pivot the rod through
180° to obtain this position.
-Adjust the length of the front lock actuating rod to obtain the correct unlocking order:
rear lock, then front lock and the pinning at 208 mm (0.110 in) dia minimum for the front lock
and 3 mm (0.1 1 7 in) dia for the rear lock.
-If the adjustment range is not sufficient, the upper horizontal rod may be readjusted,
paying special attention to the bellcrank structural clearances.
The unlocking sequence should result in a front lock rod minimum travel of 1 .5 mm
(0.0586 in) after unlocking of the rear lock (marks to be applied to the front rod at the stringer
on the front of frame 22).
Check that the nut of the front upper bellcrank adjustable endpiece connecting pin does
not contact the stringer. If necessary, rework the stringer recess as per TIN No. 468, then re¬
move the burrs and apply the I + P paint scheme.
-After rod adjustment, check that the length of the visible threaded portion of the rod ad¬
justable endpieces is <16 mm (0.524 in).
NOTE: To obtain this linkage adjustment, it is also possible to start from the theoretical di¬
mension for the adjustable items given below and then apply the procedure described
above.
-front lock actuating rod 356 mm (14.016 in)
-rear lock actuating rod 167 mm ( 6.575 in)
-horizontal intermediate rod 636 mm (25.1 in)
Removal of rod :
-remove the intermediate rod connecting pins at the front and rear bellcranks,
-tilt the rear bellcrank to disengage the rod clevis,
-disengage the rod from the front of the U/C well,
-unlocking jack : 220 ± 0.5 mm (8.6614 ± 0.0019 in) (preset
in 2 nd line workshop).
It is imperative that any action on the linkage must still enable the following three condi¬
tions to be complied with :
-correct pinning of rear and front locks (with hooks closed),
-correct unlocking order: rear lock, then front lock,
-correct clearance between the hydraulic stop and mechanical stop.

BREAKDOWN AND CONTROL LINKAGE

1 - BREAKDOWN (Figure 1)

The nose undercarriage leg is hinged on the fuselage. It is retracted aft.

The nose undercarriage leg includes the following major components :


-one leg 1 equipped with a shock absorber slaved to a retraction system. The leg is also provided
with a nose wheel steering jack controlled by a selector valve unit. The assembly can also perform as an
anti-shimmy device.
- one elastic rod 2.
- one truss jack assembly 3.
- two bogie-mounted wheels (See Section 5).

Extension of the rod of truss jack 3 causes rétraction of the undercarriage leg which is locked in
«UP» position by an uplock.

Retraction of the rod of truss jack 3 causes extension of the undercarriage leg. A claw lock
mounted inside the jack immobilizes the undercarriage leg in the «DOWN» position.

During take-off, a bounce, or jacking-up of the aircraft, full extension of the shock absorber
returns the wheels along the aircraft centreline. Wheel return is controlled by a cam system mounted
inside the shock absorber.

The retraction system consists of two links and one lever imparting to the shock absorber a
movement of translation in the structural box during undercarriage leg manAuvres.

An electro-hydraulic control using the nose wheel steering jack and the selector valve unit of the
undercarriage leg enables the wheels to be deflected from the cockpit. This control can also perform an
anti-shimmy function consisting in limiting the wheel oscillations when no pressure is applied to the
nose wheel steering control.

NOTE : The undercarriage leg well is blanked by :


- one aft door
- two lateral doors
- one fairing door.

2- CONTROL LINKAGE OF NOSE UNDERCARRIAGE LEG (Figure 2)

A - Retraction (Details A - B - C and D)

The undercarriage leg is down, with sliding assembly J extended and the rod of truss jack 3
retracted and locked.

Applying pressure to the undercarriage retraction system unlocks and extends the rod of the truss
jack. This rod causes retraction of the undercarriage leg which pivots about its hinge pin A integral with
the structure.

Hinge pin B carried by structural box M of the leg rotates about pin A. At the beginning of the
movement, points B, F and G are fixed in relation to the leg, and point D moves and absorbs the
elongation of elastic rod 2. Then, it imparts to double yoke C a rotational movement about pin B.

The combined two rotations impart to pin F a movement which cancels the buttressing resulting
from misalignment of the three points B, F and G. Stop K leaves its rest. The movement of pin F is
converted by link H into a pull force on pin G and consequently on sliding assembly J. The latter
disappears in structural box M as the leg is retracted.

In the final position, leg roller L engages an uplock N locking the leg in the up position, with the
sliding assembly retracted.

B- Extension (Details A- E - F and G )

The undercarriage leg is up, with sliding assembly J retracted and the rod pf truss jack 3 extended.

Applying pressure to the undercarriage extension system opens uplock N and retracts the rod of
truss jack 3. This rod causes extension of the leg which pivots about hinge pin A integral with the
aircraft structure.

Hinge pin B carried by structural box M of the leg, rotates about pin A. Point D linked to the
structure through elastic rod 2 imparts to double yoke C a rotational movement about pin B.

These combined two rotations Impart to pin F a movement which is transmitted to point G
.

through link H to push sliding assembly J. The latter slides out of structural box M as the leg is
extended.

Near end of travel, the three points B, F and G are aligned, then misaligned until stop K abuts on
structural box M, thereby providing buttressing. As points F and G become fixed in relation to the leg,
sliding assembly J is locked. The leg completes rotation and continues driving pin B and consequently
pin D thereby extending elastic rod 2.

In the final position, the leg is immobilized by the internal claw lock of the truss jack and locking
of sliding assembly J is reinforced by the elastic rod which prevents any risk of buttressing suppression
by applying a pull force to pin D.

(1 ) Swivelling assembly (Figures 5 and 6)

The swivelling assembly is essentially composed of :


one tube 50 turning in bushes 51 and 52 of structural box 30 (See Figure 5). Tube 50 is slaved in
-
translation to the structural box by a shouldered bush 53. Two screws 54,accessible through two holes
in the box blanked by plugs 55, lock shouldered bush 53 and bearing 56.
This tube is provided with a shoulder in the form of a cam B, and a toothed sector C. Cam B drives the
roller of selector valve unit 26 whereas toothed sector C meshes with the rack of the nose wheel steering
jack.
A cage 57 equipped with a self-aligning bearing 58 guides shock absorber 22.
- one upper torque link 59 hinged on swivel tube 50 (See Figure 6). The hinge consists of a hollow
pin 60 equipped with a grooved lubricator 61.
A spring 62 bearing on tube 50 and on torque link 59 retains this link against stop 63 when the two
links are uncoupled. A pin 64 and stop 63, with the lugs bearing on the internal sides of the yoke of
tube 50, attach pin 60 and grooved lubricator 61 .
Two screwed liners 65 are used to adjust the wheels in line with the aircraft centreline. The liners are
safetied by toothed washers 66 which are secured by bolts 67.
- one towing fitting 68 retained on swivel tube 50 by two shear pins. Shear pin 69 is subjected to
traction and compression forces and shear pin 70 to lateral forces.
Excessive force on one of the shear pins causes it to shear. A cotter pin 71 prevents towing fitting 68
from being lost in case of accidental breakage of shear pin 69, in particular during retraction of the U/C
leg.
Shear pin 70 is mounted in a yoke 72 fitted in the fork formed by towing fitting 68. Mounted
symmetrical on the same fitting, two similar brackets 73 carry two shear pins 69, two shear pins 70 and
two yokes 72 as spares.

(2) Nose wheel steering jack and anti-shimmy valves (Figure 7)

The nose wheel steering jack is essentially composed of :


- one rack 74 meshing with the toothed sector of swivel tube 50.
- two similar bolts guiding the rack. Each bolt 75 is guided by two bearings 76 and 77.
On the eccentred centre section of bolts 75 rotates a shouldered roller 78. The backlash between
rack 74 and the toothed sector is adjusted by rotating bolts 75. After adjustment, the angular position
of bolts 75 is maintained by stud 79 of cover 80. This stud crosses one of the nine holes in bolt 75 and
engages one of the eight holes in bearing 76. A nut 81 attaches each bolt to structural box 30.
Bolts 75 and a threaded bush 83 also attach a support 82 for selector valve unit 26.
- Two cylinders 84 centred in structural box 30 and attached by screws, nuts and washers (see
detail A). Two pins 87 mounted in structural box 30 lock bearings 76 against rotation.
- Two pistons 88 mounted in cylinders 84 and slaved to rack 74 through rods 89. The rods are
made integral with pistons 88 through a pin.
- Pre-modification 297.
- two cylinders 84 screwed in bearings 85 and attached by nuts 86. Two pins 87 with one end
engaging a notch of bearings 85 and the other end crossing the shoulder of bearings 76, lock these
components against rotation.
- two pistons 88 mounted in cylinders 84 and slaved to rack 74 through rods 89. These rods are
made integral with the pistons through nuts 90. They have a spherical end bearing on locating blocks 91 .

2- SHOCK ABSORBER SLIDING ASSEMBLY (Figures 8 to 12)

A Description

It is essentially composed of :

- one shock absorber and one switch which are functionally dependent on each other.
- one electrical wire bundle, which is described in a separate paragraph .6 entitled «Equipment».

(1 ) Shock absorber (Figure 8)

The shock absorber is of the double-acting (compression - expansion) oleopneumatic type with a
separator piston.

The upper section of the shock absorber consists of rod 102 provided with a filler plug 103. Four
notches opening in a circular groove L permit this rod to be attached to seal retainer 45 of the
structural box assembly.

The lower section of rod 102 accommodates a cam 104 attached by a hollow screw 105.

Cylinder 106 slides in self-aligning bearing 58 of the structural box assembly.

It supports at the top a cam 107 secured by four pins 108 which are attached by bush 109 and
threaded bush 110.

Cams 107 and 104 form a paired assembly.

Inside cylinder 106 moves separator piston 111. It is integral with guide rod 112 on which slides
valve 113 connected to the piston through spring 1 14.

In the centre section, cylinder 106 forms an internal shoulder to which is attached restrictor 115
through threaded ring 116. The restrictor houses valve 1 17. A cover 1 18 guides rod 1 12 while enabling
it to slightly move.

The lower section of the cylinder is blanked by a bottom 120 attached by a pin 121. Bottom 120
accommodates a level tube 122 and charging valve 123 protected by a guard 124. Tube 122 controls the
level of the hydraulic fluid in chamber G so as to lubricate the walls and adjacent packings.

The shock absorber travel is limited :


- during expansion, by cams 104 and 107 which mesh with each other to return the wheels along
the aircraft centreline.
- during compression^ by threaded bush 1 10 abutting on the shoulder of rod 102. However, when
the shock absorber is assembled with the structural box, this stop is preceded by the abutment of axle
box 125 on self-aligning bearing 58.

Axle box 125 is shrunk in the lower section of cylinder 106 and locked by pin 121 (Figure 9).

It carries lower torque link 140 hinged on a hollow pin 141 equipped with a grooved
lubricator 142. The pin and its grooved lubricator are retained in the axle box by a pin 143 used as a
grease conduit.

The upper end of torque link 140 accommodates a ball joint assembly 144 which is screwed and
safetied by a washer 145 engaging a notch of the ball joint, and by a bolt 146. This torque link also
supports switch 147. The latter is secured to a housing 148 and controlled by a rocker assembly 149.

BREGUET AVIATION^S^^^ .,..,., ne
Restricted MANUAL 05

This assembly is operated by a cam 150 driven by a lever 151 hinged on housing 148. Lever 151 is
linked to axle box 125 through an adjustable rod consisting of two rod ends 152 screwed in a liner 153.
The lower rod end is connected to a yoke 1 54 fitted to the axle box.

Switch 147 includes three microswitches acting on :

- undercarriage retraction disable system


- braking system
- nose wheel steering system.

The axle box (Figure 10) forms at the front a male yoke in which is hinged a ring 126 for
jacking-up purposes. A spring 127 mounted on ring hinge pin 128 presses the ring against a pin 129.

At the rear, axle box 125 is provided with a transverse bore housing at the ends shrunk bushes 130
which accommodate taper roller bearings 131 on which turns axle 132. The latter accommodates a
pinion 133 driving a tachometer generator 179. Pinion 133 is secured by a pin 164 riveted to two
shims 165.

NOTE : The angular position of the axle assembly in box 125 is determined by locator 166, the head
of which must slide in a groove R of. the centre box bore so as to prevent damage to the
pinion of the speed detector unit by either of shims 165.

The ends of axle 132 are blanked by shrunk plugs 134, the bores of which are used to attach a
steering bar (hand towing, with torque links uncoupled).

The wheels, which are bogie-mounted on either side of the axle box, are coupled by pins 135
located in crowns 136 which are locked on the axle by bolts 137.

The wheels are attached by castellated nuts 138 safetied by bolts 139.

(2) Link 1 55 couples rod 102 to the retraction system (Figure 12).

The link is connected to shock absorber rod 102 through a hollow pin 156 equipped with a
grooved lubricator 157. The pin and its grooved lubricator are made integral with link 155 through
pin 158. Grease fitting 159 permits lubrication of this hinge through the internal groove of link 155.

The link forms a boss H abutting on sleeve 44 when the U/C leg is extended.

A plain pin connects link 155 to double yoke 31 of the structural box assembly. This plain pin 160
is hollow and equipped with a grooved lubricator 161. A hollow pin 162 locks the pin and its grooved
lubricator on link 155 and accommodates a grease fitting 163.

B- Operation (Figure 11)

Compression phase.

Sinking of cylinder 106 causes the hydraulic fluid to flow from chamber D to chamber E through
restrictor 1 1 5.

Valve 1 17 being lifted by the fluid, fluid flow is restricted only by the six bores in restrictor 115.
The increase in fluid volume in chamber E results in sinking of separator piston 111 which reduces the
volume of chamber G and increases the pressure of the gaseous mass.

Expansion phase.

The gas compressed in chamber G pushes back separator piston 111, thereby causing the hydraulic
fluid to flow from chamber E to chamber D through restrictor 115. Valve 117, pressed on its seat by the
fluid, offers to the latter passage ports smaller than those of restrictor 115. Fluid flow restriction is thus
more important than in the preceding phase. The fluid volume increase in chamber D results in
extension of the shock absorber.

At the end of expansion, valve 113 partly covers the ports interconnecting chambers D and E. The
fluid must first flow through the groove of valve 113, which increases the flow restriction previously
provided by valve 117. This other restriction prevents the two cams 104 and 107 from coming too
abruptly into contact with each other ; they mesh and return the wheels along the aircraft centreline.

3- SELECTOR VALVE UNIT

See 05-8.

4- TORQUE LINK HINGE (Figure 9)

This hinge 23 interconnects the two torque links 59 and 140.

The hinge is composed of :


- one shouldered pin 174 provided at one end with a fork in which is hinged a pawl 175.
- one plunger 176 pressed on pawl 175 by a spring 177.
- one knurled castellated nut 178 retained on the lower torque link through a cable.

Nut 178 is safetied to pin 174 by pawl 175 engaging a notch of the nut.

5- SPEED DETECTOR UNIT (Figure 10)

This unit 27 is attached to axle box 125 through two screws 188. It supports a tachometer
generator 179 (see 05-7) and transmits the rotational movement of the axle to the tachometer
generator.
Screws 188 are also used to attach the support of static discharger 28.

In housing 181 secured to axle box 125, a pinion 180 turns on a ball bearing 182. Pinion 180
meshes with pinion 133 integral with the axle. It is also slaved to the shaft of tachometer generator 179
through a driver 184.

Housing 181 accommodates a cover 185 on the pinion side, and a casing 186 with a receptacle 187
on the tachometer generator side.

6- EQUIPMENT (Figure 3)

A discharger 28 discharges the static electricity of the aircraft to ground. Its support is secured to
the axle box by two screws which also attach speed detector 27.
The length of the static discharger rod is adjustable. Attachment to the support is ensured by a
guillotine system.

The set of pipes 191 and electrical wire bundle 192 of structural box assembly 21 form with
electrical wire bundle 193 of shock absorber sliding assembly 22, the equipment of the undercarriage
leg.

A supply pipe and a return pipe connect selector valve unit 26 to the pipes on the aircraft
structure through two swivelling couplings on the structural box.

Two other pipes connect selector valve unit 26 to the two cylinders of the nose wheel steering
jack.

Electrical wire bundle 192 connects the aircraft wire bundle to selector valve unit 26 and to wire
bundle 193.

Wire bundle 193 connects switch 147 and speed detector unit 27 to wire bundle 192.

Both wire bundles are interconnected at a bracket 194 secured to the upper torque link.

Wire bundle 193 is equipped with a lug 195 at connector 196. This lug is used to retain
connector 196 on bracket 194 and permits the free end of wire bundle 193 to be attached to the
internal side of the lower torque link when the two wire bundles are uncoupled.

7 - ELECTRICAL BONDING (Figure 3) - Post-modification 300

It provides ground continuity across the lower section of the structural box and the axle box
through :

one metal jumper 200 across the lower section of the structural box and the upper torque link.
-
- one quick-release metal jumper 201 across the upper torque link and the axle box. This bonding
jumper is routed with the lower electrical wire bundle.

C Truss jack-to-support connection (figure 14)

Truss jack 3 is hinged on the aircraft structure through a universal joint crosspiece 62 provided
with two bushed male yokes.
- The upper male yoke is fitted with a pin 63 and a grooved lubricator 64 locked by a pin 65.
A floating nut 66 is used to secure a swivel coupling.
- The lower male yoke accommodates a headed pin 67 connecting universal joint crosspiece 62
to truss jack 3. This pin is safetied by a nut 68.
- Truss jack 3 is connected to undercarriage leg 1 through a hollow pin 69, the lateral travel of
which is limited by two shouldered washers 70 and 71 which are immobilized by a tie-bolt 72 locked
by a pinned nut.

2 - OPERATION (figure 15)

Extension of the truss jack rod causes retraction of the undercarriage leg ; retraction of the jack
rod results in extension and locking of the undercarriage leg.

A Rod retraction - locking

Rod 40 is retracted by applying the hydraulic pressure to valve box 21. A shuttle valve mounted in
this box controls rod retraction through two independent systems (Normal and Emergency systems, via
couplings N and S respectively).

The force provided by the jack results from the action of the pressure fluid on section S1 of
the moving assembly.

Throughout the retraction phase, the fluid expelled from chamber P flows freely through port B.

At the end of travel, the claws of lock 44 flex to clear locking sleeve 29. Then, they push locking
piston 32 by compressing spring 35. Piston 45 abuts on locking sleeve 29, thereby limiting the travel of
the rod.

As the claws of lock 44 are no longer constrained by the locking sleeve, they spring outwards.

Under the action of spring 35, locking piston 32 returns to the initial position and slides under the
claws of the lock. The latter thus is stopped, immobilizing the jack rod.

As locking piston 32 slides under the claws of lock 44, lever 43 turns and reverses the contacts of
switch 9G3.

B Unlocking - rod extension

The hydrau'io pressure applied through port B acts simultaneously on section S2 of locking piston
32 and section S3 of rod 40.

Locking piston 32 moves back and frees :


- claws of lock 44 which are driven by rod 40 and which flex to clear locking sleeve 29,
- rocker 34 which reverses the contacts of switch 9G3.

As rod 40 is extended, the fluid expelled from chamber M flows to the reservoir through ports G
and H and valve box 21 .

At the end of travel, bush 46 progressively blanks port G thereby forcing the fluid from the jack to
flow through a restrictor in valve box 21. This restrictor is in series with port H. As a result, the
extension rate is reduced by restricting the hydraulic fluid flow.

AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT/
BREGUET AVIATION ^S--
-^ MIRAGE F
Restricted MANUAL 05

In case of overpressure during fluid flow restriction, a valve in box 21 opens to evacuate the excess
fluid.

As the pressure applied through port F drops, locking piston 32 returns against sleeve 29 under the
action of spring 35.

4- PROCEDURE

A Wheel alignment check

- Pressurize hydraulic system 2.


- Perform several steering movements in high sensitivity mode, with full travel to the right and to
the left.
- Set the rudder control to neutral position. Actuate the rudder trim until it is possible to pin the
rudder quadrant at fin rib 1 A by means of pin MS1 390-20-830, then remove the pin.
- Install and tighten the ruler on its support against the edges of the wheel rim after aligning
its mid point with wheel axle centerline.
- Steer fully to the left and allow the rudder control to return to neutral position. Make sure that
the pin passes freely through the control quadrant at fin rib 1 A.
- Push the lower part of the shock absorber towards the rear (in the direction of the force caused
by ground rolling) to take up the swivel tube play on the distribution unit follower.
- Mark the points located at 1 meter (39.37 in) on either side of the axle centerline using the ruler
and plumb line ; keep the ruler horizontal with the clinometer.
- Measure the distances between the points obtained and the aircraft centerline, that is :
«L» at front and «L'» at rear.
- Steer fully to the right and allow the rudder control to return to neutral position. Make sure that
the pin passes freely through the control quadrant at fin rib 1 A.
- Push the lower part of the shock absorber towards the rear.
- Mark again the points located at 1 meter (39.37 in) on either side of the axle centerline using
the ruler and plumb line.
- Measure the distances between these new points and the aircraft centerline, that is :
«I» at front and «.'» at rear.
- Calculate the residual deflection in the control, i.e :
L - I or I' - L' ; it should be < 34.8 mm (1 .37 in).
- If the tolerance value is exceeded, adjust the deflection angles of the steering control (See 05-8).
- Check wheel parallelism :
(L + l) - 0' + L'), should be equal to 0 ± 5 mm (0.1968 in).
(2) (2)
If alignment is found to be out of tolerances, adjust the torque link center hinge in accordance
-
with para. B bellow.

B Adjustment of torque link center hinge

- Disconnect the torque link center hinge :


- disconnect the movable electrical connector and the grounding connector attached to the
upper torque link,
- unsafety knurled nut 178 (pawl 175), unscrew it and withdraw pin 174,
- separate torque links 59 and 140,
- on lower torque link 140, install hinge pin 174 fitted with its knurled nut 178 as well as the
electrical connector on its rest support.
- Remove the two bolts 67 on upper torque link and withdraw lockplates 66.
- Using wrench 46896, unscrew bushing 65 on the side of observed deflection by a value equal
to one lockplate notch.
- Reinstall the lockplate and its bolt 67, screw and tighten its nut.
- Introduce both torque links 59 and 140 and keep them aligned.
- Screw bushing 65 on the opposite side and torque to 3 m.daN (22.125 ft.lb) so that the sockets
of ball joint 144 of lower torque link 140 are compressed ; then unscrew up to the nearest lockplate
notch to give a slight operating clearance (maximum clearance : 0.125 mm - 0.0049 in).

NOTE : If it is found difficult to obtain sinking of ball joint 144 sockets due to excessively hard
sliding, readjust the diameter of inner socket 200 in accordance with requirements of para. C

7 - ELASTIC ROD TRAVEL


The pull travel of the elastic rod is submitted to the U/C caster angle setting.
After a U/C leg replacement, a caster angle should be found within the range of toler¬
ances, so as to determine a 3 ± 0.5 mm (0.118 ± 0.019 in) travel of the elastic rod.
Proceed as follows :
-record distance across centers "L" on elastic rod being at rest,
-position the extensible rod M31127 (lock screw not tightened) in replacement of elastic
rod, by engaging pins without tightening nuts,
-set the U/C leg caster angle to 2° by acting upon the adjustable end of the truss jack,
-firmly hold all the retraction rods against the limit stop inside U/C cylinder and tighten
the lock screw of extensible rod in that position,
-remove the extensible rod and record distance "L" obtained,
-proceed this way through successive adjustments of U/C caster angle until the extensi¬
ble rod distance across centers = L + 3 ± 0.5 mm (L + 0.118 ± 0.019 in) corresponding to a
caster angle within tolerances : 2° ± 10',
-for information, the extension travel of elastic rod may be increased by reducing the U/C
caster angle.
NOTE: "U/C down" locking pressure may be increased by increasing the elastic rod travel.
-check the U/C down locking and unlocking pressures.
A - Lock nose leg in down position and check locking pressure (see 05-6).
B - Unlock nose leg and check unlocking pressure (see 05-6)
-If required, readjust elastic rod travel within tolerance limits determined to obtain a lock¬
ing pressure within tolerances.

UNDERCARRIAGE DOOR UNLOCKING CONTROL


(Figure 2)

1 - DESCRIPTION

The unlocking control consists of :


-one unlocking jack 1 hinged on LH web of U/C well, which actuates lever 10 hinged on
bearing 11.
- three mechanical locks 2, 10G3, 23G to keep doors closed
-one interconnecting linkage including :
- two rods 16, 17 which control lever 3 of lock 23G through lever 12 hinged on bearing 13.
- rod 14 which controls lever 15 of lock 10G3.
- one flexible control 8, connected to the second arm of lever 15, transmits the movement to
lever 18 of lock 2.
- one spring 9, secured to rod 16, resets the hook mechanism to the locking position.
- one ground manual unlocking control consisting of a flap integral with lever 3 of lock 23G.

Center lock 10G3 is provided with a dual switch for U/C cycle warning and control.

Lock 23G is provided with a warning switch («limit» warning light).

The locks are secured by bolts to A/C structure, through a serrated mounting plate used for
positioning adjustment.

2- OPERATION

A Hydraulic unlocking

Under the action of hydraulic pressure, the jack rod is retracted, which causes lever 10 to swivel,
-
thereby actuating interconnecting linkage which opens locks 2, 23G and 10G3 and releases the door
locking rollers.

B Manual unlocking on ground

- It is obtained by tilting lever 3 which directly drives lock23G and opens locks 2 and 10G3
through the interconnecting linkage. The free travel of unlocking jack tie-rod allows for deflection of
lever 10 without loading the jack return spring (see 05-2).

A Stationary assembly

This assembly essentially consists of :


- One cylinder 22 accommodating a shuttle valve 21 to supply the jack with hydraulic fluid
through two independent systems. At one end, the jack is equipped with a self-aligning bearing 23
attaching the jack to the aircraft structure hinge.
Cylinder 22 is also fitted with a shoulder E to which is secured a bracket 24 for the hydraulic fluid
supply pipes.
- One cylinder 25 supporting a supply coupling 26, and a rocker 27 hinged between a socket 28
and a plate 29. This rocker controls the microswitch of switch 6G3 connected to the undercarriage
control sequence circuit.

A locking sleeve 30 retained between cylinder 22 and an internal shoulder of cylinder 25, and a
piston 31 with a return spring 32, constitute the internal locking system of the jack. Piston 31 is
equipped with a lever 33 operating rocker 27.

B Moving assembly

This assembly is essentially composed of a rod 34 sliding in the stationary assembly. It


accommodates at one end an adjustable rod end 35 with a self-aligning bearing 36 for connecting the
jack to the door.

At the other end, the rod is fitted with a piston 37 and a claw lock 38 attached by a nut 39.

2- OPERATION (Figure 5)

A Rod extension - locking

Extension of rod 34 causes opening of the main door. The hydraulic pressure is applied through
one of the two ports in shuttle valve 21 . This pressure acts on passage area S1 of the moving assembly
to extend rod 34.

The fluid expelled from chamber P freely flows through port A.

At the end of rod extension, the claws of lock 38 are bent to clear locking sleeve 30. Then, they
push locking piston 31 and separate by spring effect as sleeve 30 is cleared. Rod assembly 34 has then
reached end of travel, as it abuts on sleeve 30.

Restricted MANUAL 05

Under the action of return spring 32, piston 31 comes again into contact with sleeve 30 and
engages the clawsof lock 38, thereby locking the rod.

As piston 31 stops moving, i.e. at the end of locking, lock 38 rotates lever 33 which actuates
rocker 27, thereby reversing the contacts of switch 6G3.

B Unlocking - rod retraction

The hydraulic pressure applied through port A simultaneously acts on annular passage area S2 of
the moving assembly, and on locking piston 31. It causes the latter to move back, thereby freeing
lock 38 and rocker 27.

As lock 38 is moved by rod 34, the lock claws are bent and clear sleeve 30, which permits rod
retraction and consequently door closing.

Rocker 27 is no longer actuated by lever 33 ; it allows the contacts of switch 6G3 to be reversed.
Throughout the rod retraction phase, the fluid expelled from chamber M freely flows through port BN
of shuttle valve 21 .

When the jack is coupled to the door, the rod retraction travel is limited by the door abutting on
its locks. The door is abutting before the jack is internally stopped.

Piston 31 returns against sleeve 30 under the action of spring 32, as the jack is connected to the
hydraulic reservoir through port A.

(Figure 1)

1 - DESCRIPTION

The wheels consist of a body 1 and a removable rim 2 attached by five bolts 3. Sealing between
body 1 and rim 2 is provided by two preformed packings 4 and 5.

Separating the body from the rim permits tire removal (wheel removed and tire deflated).

Ring 6 also secured by bolts 3, is provided with 6 bores A to which are fitted pins connecting
the wheel to the axle of the undercarriage leg. Ring 6 also ensures sealing of the housings for the axle
roller bearings.

Rim 2 accommodates inflation valve 7.

To adjust the balance, the wheel can be equipped with a balancing weight 8 in the form of a plate
installed in place of the washer of one of the 6 attaching bolts 3.

2- WHEEL/UNDERCARRIAGE LEG CONNECTION

Wheel body 1 is fitted to axle 132 and connected to the latter for rotation through six pins 135
mounted in ring 136. Each wheel is secured to the axle by a castellated nut 138 safetied by two
bolts 139.

MAIN WHEEL

1 - DESCRIPTION (figure 2)
The main wheel includes :

A - One body 6 which carries two taper roller bearings 12.

B One spacer 10 engaging the bores of bearing inner races 12. It is retained by a nut 15 safetied with
lockwasher 17 and retaining ring 16. It permits the wheel to be mounted on the axle.

C Two housings 11, each equipped with a felt packing 9 and a sealing ring 8 to provide tightness of
the bearing races. Each seal housing is attached to spacer 10 by a retaining ring 7.

D One rim 1 kept in place by the pressure of the tire. It is retained on body 6 by a ring 2. The retain¬
ing ring ends are lockwired to each other.

E One sealing ring 3 providing tightness of the tubeless tire between rim 1 and body 6.

F One thread insert 19 in which is screwed inflation valve 5 equipped with seal 4.

G Three fuse plugs 13, each equipped with a packing 14. They are screwed in body 6.

H Nine driving blocks 20 tight fitted with Mastinox compound on interfaces. Each block is safetied
by two riveted tubes 21 .

J Three thread inserts 1 8 used to attach the drive casing of the tachometer generator.

K Two locators 26 preventing the brakes from being installed outside driving blocks 20 (modifi¬
cation 331 incorporated).

2- OPERATION (figure 2)

When the brakes are applied, the fuse plug melts if the temperature of body 6 reaches 155°C.
Piston 24 and seal 23 are expelled under the increased inflation pressure resulting from the temperature
rise.

The tire is deflated, thereby preventing bursting.

3- CONNECTION TO MAIN UNDERCARRIAGE LEG (figure 3)

The wheel is mounted on the main undercarriage axle against a spacer 25.

The nine driving blocks 20 engage the tenons of the brake unit rotors. The wheel is attached to the
axle through a castellated nut 85 safetied by a cup 84 and a pin.

4- PROCEDURE

A Removal of tire

(1) Unseat the tire beads using the press.


(2) Remove the wheel from the press.
(3) Do not remove the inflation valve unless it is leaking (adapter PR1-46471).
(4) Remove bolts 3, using two sockets S 1/2 and two extensions S 210.

NOTE : If one of the above bolts is equipped with a balancing weight 8, mark the location of this
weight.

| (5) Separate rim 2, the tire and wheel body 1 ; if possible, recover ring 6.
(6) Recover packings 4 and 5.

B Maintenance of wheel

(1) Clean the packings with a clean dry cloth.

(2) Clean the wheel body, rim and ring with white spirit and dry with moisture-free compressed air. If
traces of rubber remain on the rim flanges, remove them using a cloth soaked in solvent.

(3) Check condition of the wheel body and rim. Ensure that :
(a) there are no cracks or incipient fractures, specially at critical points (flange fillet, attaching bolt
-
bores) ;
(b) - bearing surfaces are not dented ;
(c) - mating surfaces of tire beads are neither dented nor scratched ;
(d) - contours of packing grooves are perfectly even ;
(e) - valve condition and attachment are correct ;
(f) -the surfaces are in good condition ; neutralize any corrosion and touch up paintwork if required
(see 05-0).

(4) Check packings 4 and 5 for condition.


The edges of the packings must not be distorted or nicked. Check by twisting slightly every 3 to
4 cm (1.1811 to 1.5748 in) around the edge. If the condition of the packing is questionable, reject
it.

(5) Ensure that the bores of ring 6 are in satisfactory condition, and that the cylindrical section of
the ring is not distorted.

C Inspect the tire before installation (see 05-5).

D Installation of tire

(1) Coat packings 4 and 5 with grease MIL-G-4343 and install them in the wheel body and rim
grooves. Equalize stresses and place molding burrs on the same plane.

(2) Position the tire on wheel body 1 (red triangle on tire facing mark B on wheel body).

ons, is 21 mm (0.8267 in) maximum ; if this dimension is exceeded, replace the plates
(see 05-5) ;
(b) - the depth of the furrows (if any created by the friction pads of the brake stators) does
not exceed 1 mm (0.0393 in) ; beyond this limit, send the wheel to the next higher repair
line.
!5) Grease the bearings and reinstall them (see 05-5).
6) Depending on the aging of the wheel, check it using the Eddy current method
see 05-5);
7) Clean O-ring 3 and check its condition.
-The edge of the O-ring must not be distorted or nicked. Check this by.twisting it slightly
every 3 to 4 cm (1.1811 to 1.5748 in) around the edge. If there is any doubt, reject the O-
ring.
(8) Neutralize any corrosion and touch up paintwork if required (see 05-0).
C - Inspect the tire before installation (see 05-5)
D - Installation of tire
(1) Grease O-ring 3 and the associated groove in body, then install the O-ring in its groove,
without twisting it. Equalize stresses and place molding burrs on the same plane.
(2) Position the tire on wheel body 6 (with red triangle on tire in front of blue mark corre¬
sponding to wheel body unbalance).
t Install rim 1.
Compress the tire by hand and fit the rim to the body, pushing it in as far as possible,
e care not to displace O-ring 3.
(5) Install and safety retaining ring 2.
(6) Install inflation valve 5 if it has been removed, proceeding as follows :
(a) slightly grease a new seal 4 and install it on the valve ; also grease the valve threads ;
(b) install the inflation valve (socket R 1/2 L) and torque to 1 _ q -j m-daN
(7.3 + g 7 ft.lb)

u. Inflation of tire
n n ia nun sji mo

NOTE: Nitrogen only should be used for tire inflation. Air may exceptionally be used for pr
pres-
sure adjustment purposes provided the resulting oxygen contents does not exceed 5" %
by volume.
(1 ) Remove the valve core.
(2) Adjust inflation pressure to 15 bar (217 psi) ; rapidly inflate the tire to ensure correct
installation. Check tire beads for correct bearing. Disconnect the inflation adapter and allow
tire pressure to drop.
(3) Refit the valve core.
-Reminder : torque value : 0.025 to 0.028 m.daN (2.13 to 2.34 in.lb). After tightening,
the valve core should be recessed in the valve body by 0 to 1 .5 mm (0 to 0.059 in).
(4) Inflate to operating pressure as slowly as possible.
(5) Tighten the valve cap by hand.
F - Test the tire for leakage.

5 - CHECK OF ROLLER BEARINGS

A - Visually check inner cones and rollers which should be free of corrosion, pitting,
scratches, peening and metal pick-up. Any blue area on a roller or a bearing surface indicates
abnormal overheating which requires replacement of the cone and rollers.
-Make sure that bearing races are perfectly round and free from dents and flats.

B - Check outer raceways (tight fitted to wheel body) in the same way as inner races.

NOTE: If one of the outer races shows one or more of the above defects, the wheel body must
be forwarded to a specialized shop or to the manufacturer for repair.

6 - LUBRICATION

Grease (AIR 4205) cup raceways (on body) and pack cones by pushing grease between
rollers.
