SYSTEM TEST
The system test page is selected with the SYSTEM TEST line select key on the
OPS page. Pressing this key prompts the SYSTEM TEST page to be displayed.
The system test page provides access to the aircraft maintenance mode on the
ground only, as well as the ability to conduct a system test for the cockpit lamps,
autopilot and stall protection.
⎯
A/C MAINT MODE
The aircraft maintenance mode line select key provides a means for
maintenance personnel to conduct certain systems tests, update system
software, as well as collaring ECB's when required as part of a maintenance
action. This mode is also accessible to the pilot on ground only and is
selected to ON or OFF using the A/C MAINT MODE line select key.
⎯
START TEST
To be a systems test, use the outer portion of the concentric knob to move
the cursor to the desired system test and press the START TEST line select
key. This will activate the selected system test; displays a "Test in progress"
message below the TESTS window, as well as brings up a STOP TEST line
select key option. Pressing the STOP TEST line select key will abort the
test.
⎯
COCKPIT LAMPS TEST
Activating this test will automatically command the autopilot control panel,
center switch panel and keyboard lights to illuminate. This test is available in
flight and on ground.
⎯
AUTOFLIGHT
Activating the autoflight test is only allowed on ground and allows two
minutes to engage the autopilot to conduct the required autopilot and
autothrottle checks. After two minutes have transpired, on-ground autopilot
engagement is prevented. The AUTOFLIGHT systems test is detailed in the
autoflight chapter.
⎯
STALL PROTECTION
Activating the stall protection test is only allowed on ground and provides an
automatic test of the stall protection system by simulating high angles of
attack and sending this data to the ACS. This will automatically trigger the
stall warning sequence including the "STALL, STALL" aural warning and
activation of the stick pusher. Once the stick pusher has been engaged,
indicating normal operation, the test is discontinued by pressing the STOP
TEST line select key.
