MFD BITE

These 7 ATAs and their related systems use the MFD BITE:

  1. 21 Air Conditioning
  2. 27 Flight Controls Stall Management Yaw Damper System
  3. 27 Spoiler Control
  4. 31 Indicating Systems
  5. 32 Proximity Switch Electronic Unit
  6. 36 Pneumatics
  7. 71 Engines

The MFD gives a BITE interface and gets BITE data through the onboard network system (ONS) using the onboard maintenance function (OMF) software in the network file server of the ONS. Portable Maintenance Device (PMD) can also be used for these BITE.

See the Ground Tests below.

CDU BITE

There are five systems that use the CDU BITE.

  1. Flight management computer (FMC)
  2. Digital flight control system (DFCS)
  3. Auto Throttle (A/T)
  4. Air data inertial reference system (ADIRS)
  5. Fuel quantity indicating system (FQIS)

The CDU gives a BITE interface to aircraft systems. The CDU can get BITE data through the flight management computer system.

GROUND TESTS

ONS Main Menu on the MDS: LINE MAINT > GROUND TESTS

  • System Test – during major maintenance.
  • Operational Test – For line maintenance.
  • LRU Replacement Test

Each ground test in 4 parts:

  • Selection of the ATA and the required test
  • Precondition page
  • Test
  • Post condition page

Ground tests are interactive or non-interactive.

  • Interactive: tests have instructions while the test is in operation.
  • Non-interactive: tests do not require actions after the test starts.
