In-flight checks are special operating procedures not routinely performed every flight and are accomplished when certain airplane systems are to be tested for proper operation in flight. The following recommended procedures must be adhered to, in order to ensure the safe conduct of the functional test to be performed.

GENERAL

REV 58, Oct 31/05

The following procedures are recommended to operationally check the air-driven generator (ADG) in flight using the manual deployment system. The ADG check shall be carried out in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). Ensure that the ADG check is not carried out in icing conditions.

CAUTION
1. The presence of foreign objects in the ADG bay could cause damage to the ADG blades during deployment. Before flight, the ADG bay must be inspected to ensure that foreign objects are not present.

Airplanes 7002 through 7304: 2. When deployed, the ADG is maintained in position by an ejection spring and airloads. After landing, high deceleration could cause the ADG to swing forward with resulting damage to the ADG blades and adjacent fuselage panels. When landing with the ADG deployed, plan to use maximum landing roll-out available to minimize deceleration. NOTE 1. Once deployed, the ADG cannot be stowed during flight. Therefore, this check should be performed at the end of a test flight. Normal electrical power must be restored before final landing approach is commenced. 2. If icing conditions are encountered while the ADG is the only source of electrical power, the WING anti-ice system must be operated only in the standby (STBY) mode.

WARNING
If the ADG fails to deliver the required electrical power after the GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches are set to OFF, the GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches must be reset immediately to ON and normal supply to the essential busses restored by pressing the PWR TXFR OVERRIDE switch, after confirming that the ADG manual deploy handle is stowed. NOTE The 10th stage bleed air shutoff valves close when power is removed from DC bus 1 and DC bus 2. Normal control of the cabin pressurization system is therefore lost and cabin altitude slowly increases.
