  • Chapter 13: Aircraft Landing Gear Systems › Anti-Skid › Anti-Skid System Tests

    Ground Test Ground tests vary slightly from aircraft to aircraft. Consult the manufacturer’s maintenance manual for test procedures specific to the aircraft in question. Much of the anti-skid system testing originates from testing circuits in the anti-skid ... control unit. Built-in test circuits continuously monitor the anti-skid system and provide warning if a failure occurs. An operational test can be performed before flight. The anti-skid control switch and/ or test switch is used in conjunction…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance Charts

    Performance Charts Performance charts allow a pilot to predict the takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance of an aircraft. These charts, provided by the manufacturer, are included in the AFM/POH. Information the manufacturer provides on these charts has been gathered ... from test flights conducted in a new aircraft, under normal operating conditions while using average piloting skills, and with the aircraft and engine in good working order. Engineers record the flight data and create performance charts based on the behavior…

    must also be tested every 24 months if on an IFR certified aircraft intended to be flown as such as called out in 14 CFR part 91, section 91.411. Certified airframe and A&P technicians may perform this test ... method of leak testing depends on the type of aircraft, its pitot-static system, and the testing equipment available. [Figure 10-138] Essentially, a testing device is connected into the static system at the static vent end, and pressure…
