A. Inflatable life raft

(1). Inflation of the life raft


Inflation of the life raft is triggered manually by pulling the life raft/aircraft attachment
line (mooring line), which is connected to the cylinder triggering cable.
The survivor has the option of attaching the life raft line end to the aircraft, which is
fitted to cylinder triggering cable (when ditching occurs track fitting must be fixed
onto the seat flooring flush track).
The cylinder is then triggered and will inflate the life raft.

(2). Additional inflation (Figure 4)

TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION

1. General

A. Test conditions
See « CHECK » section.
The tests must be carried out on the life raft equipped with all its fitted accessories and
constituent components, in a ready-for-use configuration.
For inflation operations, the source of compressed air must be fitted with a 20-micron
filter and supply clean, dry and de-oiled air.
The structure is inflated through the manual inflating/deflating valves using adapted
tooling (see « SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS »
section).
All tests must be entered onto the Log Card.

2. Tests
Carry out a leak test before any reconditioning of the life raft.
If the inflatable structure has been repaired, carry out an overpressure test, then a
minimum of 12 hours later, a leak test (see « REPAIR » and « CHECK » sections).

A. Overpressure test (Figure 101)

(1). After removing the protectors from the manual inflating/deflating valves:
Clean the interior of these valves using compressed air ;
Lightly grease the valve poppet seal using a brush, holding the valve open
throughout the operation until the brush is withdrawn.

CAUTION : TAKE CARE NOT TO BLOCK THE VALVE POPPET WHILE USING
THE BRUSH.

SAFETY CAUTION: DURING THIS TEST, KEEP AWAY FROM THE LIFE RAFT.
DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY EXAMINATION DURING THE
TEST.

25-64-01 REV 20
PAGE 101
AERAZUR
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
606 LIFE RAFT

(2). Inflate the life raft to a pressure of 280 hPa.

(3). Maintain the overpressure for 5 minutes.

(4). At the end of the test, bring the pressure back down to half its test value (140 hPa)
and check by a detailed examination that the floats show no distortion, tear, loss of
adhesion, slippage or seam breakdown.

(5). After a relaxation period of a minimum of 12 hours, carry out a leak test to check that
the life raft is within the accepted tightness tolerances.

(6). If no faults are noted, put the equipment back into service.

(7). If a fault is noted after the overpressure test, send the equipment back to the
manufacturer or to an approved repair station for examination and repair.

(8). Enter the test pressure and time on the Log Card or on the Equipment Record Card.

B. Leak test

(1). Inflate the floats to a pressure of 170 hPa.

(2). Leave the assembly to become stable for 30 minutes. If at the end of this period, the
life raft has not maintained pressure, find the origin of the leaks and carry out the
necessary repairs (see « REPAIR » section).

(3). If the life raft maintains the pressure, carry out the following measurement of
pressure-loss over one hour:
Readjust the pressure to 160 hPa in the floats and measure the ambient
temperature ;
Leave the life raft to rest for one hour ;
Measure the ambient temperature again. If there has been a variation of more than
3°C, the check is not valid ;
Measure the pressures and deduct the pressure variation ;
Carry out the temperature variation correction by deducting 4 hPa per °C of
increase and adding 4 hPa per °C of decrease to the pressure variation read.
IMPORTANT NOTE : DO NOT LEAVE THE PRESSURE PICK-UP TOOL (Figure
101) IN PLACE ON THE VALVE DURING THE TEST.
INSTALL IT TO NOTE THE PRESSURE AND THEN
REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION.
REPLACE THE VALVES PROTECTOR THROUGHOUT THE
TEST.

(4). In the event that the corrected pressure loss is above 40 hPa, find the leak by passing
a sponge soaked in soapy water or leak-detection fluid over the structure.
Deflate the life raft and carry out the necessary repair (see « REPAIR » section) then
repeat the leak test.

(5). In the event that the corrected pressure loss is below 40 hPa, the condition of the life
raft is considered to be satisfactory and can be returned to service (see « ASSEMBLY
(INCLUDING STORAGE) » section).

(6). Note the test pressure, temperature, barometric pressure and duration values on the
Log Card or the Equipment Record Card.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
606 LIFE RAFT

C. Manual inflating/deflating valves leak test (Figure 101)


To be carried out at the time of the structure leak test.
With the protector removed, spread some soapy water or a small quantity of leak-detection
fluid in the opening of the valve. If bubbles appear, there is a leak at the valve poppet and
the valve must be replaced (see « REPAIR » section).

D. Leak test on the inflation inlets


To be carried out at the time of the structure leak test.
Spread soapy water or a small quantity of leak-detection fluid on the bases rounder. If
bubbles appear, there is a leak at the fitting. The structure must be returned to the
manufacturer or to an approved repair station for examination and repair.

E. Testing the lighting system


(See the « SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS » section)
Check that there are no cracks, impacts or swellings in the battery's casing. Check
that the electrical connecting wire and the light are in good condition. A distorted
battery casing will indicate that the battery has been damaged by water or humidity
and is therefore unusable ;
Checking the battery. Use the lighting tester: put the two probes of the equipment in
contact with the two stands of the electrical wire: the lamp should illuminate ;
In the event of faults, reject the system and replace it with a new lighting system.

F. Test to check the prepared vacuum-packing envelope (as appropriate)


NOTE : This test is to be carried out :
In the event of a periodic check specified in the aircraft's MSR and for
vacuum-packed life rafts that are in service ;
Periodically for equipment stored vacuum-packed and ready for use.
The aim of this test is to guarantee the overall dimensions of the packed life raft
(see « CHECK » section).

(1). Open the carrying bag taking the necessary operating precautions to avoid disturbing
the cylinder control (see « DISASSEMBLY » section).

(2). Measure the overall folded dimensions of the vacuum-pack (see « APPENDIX 1 »).

(3). Examine and test the packed vacuum-packing envelope.


It must be « hard to the touch » ;
In an unfolded area, the plastic film must be difficult to move in relation to the folded
life raft, when rubbed with the fingers ;
Pinch a fold of the envelope, pull it and then release it. The fold must immediately
return to its place.

(4). If these criteria are not met, the vacuum-packing must be carried out again (see
« ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING STORAGE) ») and « APPENDIX 1 » sections).

(5). If the criteria are met, replace the vacuum-packing in the carrying bag and repack the
carrying bag (see « APPENDIX 1 »).

ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING STORAGE)

1. General

This section describes the preparation operations for actual folding and for final packing.

The final folding procedures are described separately (see « APPENDIX 1 »).

For assembly, use only original parts (see IPL).

Unless anything is said to the contrary, the polyamide straps and cords must be hot cut.

The knots to be used are listed at the beginning of the manual. To make things easier, a
system of abbreviations is used in the text.

The necessary tooling and servicing materials are listed in the « SPECIAL TOOLS,
FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS » section.

The storage conditions and procedures are detailed below at the end of the section.

Assemble the life raft on a flat floor covered with a clean tarpaulin that is larger than the
inflated life raft and is free of any foreign or corrosive body likely to damage the structure.

Inflate the floats through the manual inflating/deflating valves with a source of clean, dry
and deoiled air (the installation must include a 20-micron filter).

Do not start any folding until you are familiar with the complete specific folding procedure
(see « APPENDIX 1 »).

Only carry out the preparatory assembly with components that have been checked.
Components with expiry dates must be chosen to be compatible with the expected
duration of return to service or storage.

12. Storage and transport

A. Storage conditions

(1). Store the life raft in dry premises and preferably in its original transport packing on a
surface that is clean and both away from and free of any products that are corrosive
or likely to cause damage.

(2). The permitted extreme temperatures for long-term storage are: -40°C to +71°C.
However, it is preferable to keep the stored life raft in normal temperature conditions
of 24 ±10°C.
For safety, the inflation cylinder is fitted with a burst safety disc that is broken by
excess pressure.

(3). Life rafts must not be stacked in storage.

(4). The openings of the cylinder outlet, the Tee union or the inflation inlets must be
protected, if required, by blanking plugs.

(5). The manual inflating/deflating valves must be covered by their protectors.

(6). Cylinders must be fitted with their safety pin.

B. Transport
For return to a specialized workshop or to the manufacturer, the life raft must be
returned folded with its cylinder installed and fitted with its warning flag.

Any return of the cylinder alone to a specialized workshop or to the manufacturer must
be carried out in a container that complies with the regulations.

The separate components must be put into a sealed enclosure to keep them free from
dust and humidity.

4. Installing the components in the bag (Figure 2)


Prepare and vacuum-pack the components in the bag in the following way:
Generally speaking, arrange the components as flat as possible by individually fitting
them to the lower lacing tape with 1 m mini of R709 BR cord (tight each end of cord with
a « S » knot) ;
Place the small screw-in plug in the large screw-in plug ;
The same cord can tie a component at each end. In that case, make a « L » knot at the
middle of the cord and at close to the bag’s lacing tape ;
Place the « LIST OF COMPONENTS » label (sealed in its translucent plastic pouch) in
its bag and fix it, at same way, with the cord by its eyelet ;
Include in the component bag the foldable arch and its operating instructions ;
Attach the complete bag to the internal grab strap with 1 turn of cord R6305 EC. Tie
with a « LH » knot at each eyelet of the bag and a « R » + « L » knot at the internal grab
strap end. After tightening, the flattened length of the 2 turns of cord must be 0.2 00.1 m ;
Position the bag alongside the inflation cylinder.
