TASK 71-00-00-710-006-B
Minimum Idle Check

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL ENGINE OPERATING AREAS ARE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. ALL
RAMPS, TAXIWAYS, RUNWAYS AND OTHER OPERATING AREAS MUST BE VERY CLEAN
TO PREVENT BAD DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, AIRCRAFT AND PERSONS IN THE AREA.

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO STOP THE FAN FROM TURNING BY HAND. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO
THE PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDING GEAR GROUND SAFETIES AND THE WHEEL CHOCKS
ARE IN POSITION. MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

WARNING: DO NOT DO AN ENGINE RUN-UP WITH THE THRUST REVERSER COWLS OPEN. DO NOT
DO AN ENGINE RUN-UP WITH THE FAN COWLS OPEN AND SAFETIED BY THE HOLD-OPEN
ROD IF YOU OPERATE THE ENGINE AT POWER HIGHER THAN IDLE.

WARNING: - ENGINE OPERATION MUST NOT EXCEED MINIMUM IDLE WHEN PERSONNEL ARE IN
ENTRY/EXIT CORRIDOR.
- POSITIVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE FLIGHT COMPARTMENT AND PERSONNEL
IN ENTRY EXIT CORRIDOR IS NECESSARY.
- INLET AND EXHAUST HAZARD AREAS MUST BE STRICTLY OBSERVED BY PERSONNEL
IN ENTRY/EXIT CORRIDOR.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT:

- THE PASSENGER DOORS ARE CLOSED AND THE PASSENGER LOADING STAIRS ARE
REMOVED WHEN AT LEAST ONE ENGINE IS OPERATED ABOVE IDLE POWER.
- THE CARGO DOORS ARE CLOSED AND CARGO LOADING EQUIPMENT IS REMOVED
WHEN:
. ENGINE 2 IS OPERATED AT IDLE OR ABOVE
. AT LEAST ONE ENGINE IS OPERATED ABOVE IDLE POWER
IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS INJURY TO THE PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE
TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR.

CAUTION: - SEE THE APPLICABLE FIGURE FOR WIND LIMIT RESTRICTIONS WHEN THE ENGINE OP-
ERATES.
- NATURAL WINDS AND IRREGULAR FORCES FROM SUDDEN GUSTS INCREASE THE
DANGEROUS AREA.
- DO NOT GO ABOVE OPEN COWLING LIMITATIONS WHEN YOU DO THE TESTS.
- THE OPERATOR MUST FULLY KNOW ALL THE OPERATING LIMITS AND PROCEDURES
BEFORE THE ENGINE OPERATES.

CAUTION: OPERATION AT MINIMUM IDLE IN ICING CONDITIONS IS PERMITTED FOR EXTENDED PERI-
ODS. IF THE CONDITION CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES , OR IF IMPORTANT
ENGINE VIBRATION OCCURS; YOU MUST INCREASE THE ENGINE SPEED TO 70 PER-
CENT N1 MINIMUM FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 SECONDS BEFORE YOU SELECT A HIGHER
THRUST OPERATION.

1. Reason for the Job

The idle check gives instructions to make sure that the engine connections do not leak.

3. Job Set-up
Subtask 71-00-00-010-062-A
A. Open the fan cowl doors (Ref. AMM TASK 71-13-00-010-040) :
(1) FOR 1000EM1 (ENGINE-1)
437AL, 438AR
(2) FOR 1000EM2 (ENGINE-2)
447AL, 448AR.
Subtask 71-00-00-869-107-A
B. Preparation for Test
(1) Obey the wind limitations during Engine Ground Operations (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-869-003) .
(2) Make sure that the engine inlet and exhaust covers have been removed. Make sure that these areas
are clear of any foreign objects.
(3) Make a visual check of the temperature sensors, fan inlet, and exhaust areas. If snow or ice has
collected in the fan duct, make sure that the fan turns freely. Also, make sure that the engine inlet,
inlet lip, fan, spinner, and fan exhaust duct are clear of ice or snow. If the fan does not turn freely,
melt the ice or snow with hot air before an engine operation.
(4) Look at the general condition of the fan spinner and fan blades, core exhaust nozzle, LPT and
external surfaces of the cowls.
(5) Check oil quantity. Make a check of the drain ports for fuel, oil and hydraulic leaks. Also make sure
that fuel drained from the engine does not cause a fire.
Subtask 71-00-00-861-062-A
C. Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002) .
Subtask 71-00-00-869-103-A
D. Do the EIS start procedure (upper ECAM display unit only) (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001) .
Subtask 71-00-00-710-079-A
E. Start the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-003) .
4. Procedure
Subtask 71-00-00-710-080-A
A. Do this procedure:
(1) Let the engine become stable at minimum idle for 3 minutes and make sure that the parameters
below are in the limits:
(a) N2 speed should not be below 58.3 percent N2.
(b) Oil pressure
(Ref. Fig. Oil Pressure Versus Engine Core Speed SHEET 1)
(c) The EGT is approximately at 440 deg.C (824 deg.F) (normal temperature) for an ambient
temperature T12 of 15 deg.C (59 deg.F).

NOTE: All engines have an EGT that is different. The EGT will increase as an engine collects
time. The condition and bleed configuration of each engine can cause EGT differences
between engines. If N1, N2 and fuel flow are satisfactory at minimum idle, you can have
EGT differences as much as 60 Deg.C or larger.

(2) Make a visual inspection of the fuel and pneumatic lines, fittings and accessories for leaks.
For oil leakage, staining or wetting from/on the oil system tubes, hoses and components
(Ref. AMM TASK 79-00-00-210-003) .

WARNING: DO NOT LET THE HMU TEMPERATURE EXCEED 100 DEG.C (212 DEG.F).

(3) Safety precaution :

NOTE: Hydromechanical Units (HMUs) that have fluorocarbon (Viton) external seals (SB 73-015) can
leak fuel for a short time when they are below 0 deg.C (32.00 deg.F) (Modification 1 and 2)
(Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-790-002) . If the ambient temperature is below -40 deg.C (-40.00
deg.F) it is recommended to heat the HMU (modification 1 and 2) to minimize leakage during
starts per the following procedure :

(a) Heat the HMU housing with a suitable hot air blower (Keco GH100, Aerotech BT400-45 or
equivalent) operating at 140 deg.C (284.00 deg.F) until the HMU housing temperature is greater
than 25 deg.C (77.00 deg.F).

NOTE: The HMU should be warm to the touch but not hot.

· If the fuel leakage stops in less than 5 minutes at idle, continue operation of the engine.
· If the fuel leakage continues after 5 minutes at idle, shut down the engine and repair the
source of the leakage.
(4) Stop the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-028) .
(5) Do the EIS stop procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-002)
