TASK 34-11-00-790-815-A - Leak Test - Pitot Static System Components
EFFECTIVITY: 001999
CAUTION: SUDDEN PRESSURE CHANGES CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS. SLOWLY
INCREASE OR DECREASE THE PRESSURE ON THE LEAK TESTER.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISCONNECT THE LINE BETWEEN THE LEAK TESTER AND PITOT/STATIC HEAD WITH THE
SYSTEM PRESSURIZED.
CAUTION: ONLY DISCONNECT THE LINE WHEN INSTRUMENTS SHOW ZERO OR FIELD ELEVATION.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE SELECTOR VALVE IS IN THE PRESSURE OR IN THE VACUUM POSITION.
OVERHEATING CAN DAMAGE THE INTERNAL PUMP WHEN THE SELECTOR VALVE IS IN A "BETWEEN"
POSITION.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE INTERNAL PUMP SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE PRESSURE
CONTROL AND VACUUM CONTROL ARE FULLY CLOSED.
NOTE: Although the pump can operate continuously, it must only operate to hold sufficient pressure or vacuum for the
test. Any continuous operation will cause a slow and continuous heat rise which can decrease the precision of
the test.

D. Do the leak test of the captain's pitot system
Action Result
(1.) On the pitot/static system test set (tool No. 1811HR163), (a) On the captain's airspeed indicator (ASI), the pointer
slowly open the PRESSURE CONTROL valve (to increase moves slowly and stops at an airspeed of 250 kts (+ or - 3
the pressure) and close it when the tester airspeed kts).
indication shows 250 kts.
(2.) Monitor the ASI for 1 minute. (a) The airspeed value must not decrease by more than 2 kts.
SUBTASK 34-11-00-001-465-A00
E. Do the leak test of the captain's static system
Action Result
CAUTION: VERTICAL SPEED INDICATORS ARE VERY SENSITIVE. WHEN IN USE, MONITOR THE INDICATION
AND OPERATE THE VALVES CAREFULLY.
(1.) Set the captain's and test altimeter of the pitot/static
system test set (tool No. 1811HR163)to 1013,3 mb (29,92
In. Hg).
(2.) On the pitot/static system test set (tool No. 1811HR163), (a) On the captain's altimeter, the drumcounters and pointer
open the VACUUM CONTROL valve and close it when the show 5000 ft (+ or - 50 ft).
test altimeter shows 5000 ft.
NOTE: If the system shows a leakage, be prepared to open the CROSSBLEED CONTROL valve if the ASI pointer
indication decreases.
(3.) Monitor the captain's altimeter for 1 minute. (a) The indications must not decrease by more (use the
greater value) than 100 ft or 2 % of the initial altitude.
