1. Confirmer l’item, la catégorie et le nombre requis dans le MEL officiel (lien PDF).
2. Appliquer les procédures (O) et/ou (M) du MEL avant dispatch — texte officiel ci-dessous.
3. Placard (texte MEL) :
Apply placard to both pilot's instrument panels –
LANDING GEAR SELECTOR VALVE BYPASS MODULE INOP - OPERATE PER MEL
4. Journey log / other instructions (texte MEL) :
Print the following information in the journey log sheet.
LANDING GEAR SELECTOR VALVE BYPASS MODULE INOP
5. Respecter toutes les restrictions du MEL — ne pas en inventer.
(O) OPERATIONS PROCEDURES — texte MEL :
The maximum performance-limited landing weight must be based on flaps 15 and reduced by the
following weight adjustments.
NOTE 1: Consider dispatch only to AIL maintenance base.
NOTE 2: A landing flap setting other than 15 may be used unless the landing gear lever is jammed
in the up position.
Flaps 15 Performance Limited Landing Weight Adjustment
19,900 lb (9027 kg)
If the landing gear lever will not move from the UP position when required, accomplish the
following procedure to extend the landing gear. This procedure replaces the Flight Crew
Operations Manual QRH, “LANDING GEAR LEVER JAMMED IN THE UP POSITION” procedure.
1. Pull Landing gear override trigger.
NOTE: 270K/0.82M maximum speed.
2. Position LANDING GEAR lever Down.
3. If landing gear lever moves down.
a) Check landing gear indicator lights.
b) If all landing gear are down and locked, do the normal DESCENT, APPROACH and LANDING
checklists.
c) If all landing gear are not down and locked, do the MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION checklist in the
Flight Crew operations Manual QRH.
4. If landing gear lever does not move down.
NOTE: Manual gear extension using this procedure may require up to 10 minutes to
accomplish. Do not accomplish this procedure unless there is sufficient fuel to extend
the gear and then complete an approach, with appropriate reserves. If sufficient fuel is
not available, accomplish the PARTIAL OR ALL GEAR UP LANDING checklist in the
Flight Crew Operations Manual QRH.
a) Verify NOSE WHEEL STEERING switch is NORM.
NOTE: Do not use alternate nose wheel steering because the landing gear may retract on the
ground.
b) Position the system A FLT CONTROL switch to STBY RUD.
c) Position the system A hydraulic pump switches to OFF.
Continued…
d) Cycle the speed brake lever until system A hydraulic pressure is below 500 psi.
NOTE 1: It may take a number of cycles to reduce the system A pressure to below 500 psi.
NOTE 2: Do not repressurize hydraulic system A inflight or on the ground and do not use
alternate nose wheel steering because the landing gear may retract.
NOTE 3: The engine No. 1 thrust reverser will deploy and retract at a slower rate and some
thrust asymmetry can be anticipated during thrust reverser deployment.
NOTE 4: The following items will be inoperative:
1. Ground spoilers.
2. Flight spoilers 2, 4, 9, 11.
3. Autopilot A.
4. Normal nose wheel steering.
5. Alternate brakes.
e) Pull the manual gear extension handles.
NOTE 1: 270K/0.82M maximum speed.
NOTE 2: Do not wait for an indication that a landing gear is down and locked before
pulling the next handle.
f) Continue to cycle the speed brake lever to relieve hydraulic pressure as the gear extends.
NOTE 1 It may take a number of cycles and up to 4 minutes until all three landing
gear indicator lights are illuminated.
NOTE 2: With the LANDING GEAR lever in the UP or OFF position, the red landing
gear indicator lights will stay illuminated.
g) If all landing gear are not down and locked, accomplish the PARTIAL OR ALL GEAR UP
LANDING checklist in the Flight Crew Operations Manual QRH.
h) If all landing gear are down and locked, plan for a flaps 15 landing.
1. Set VREF 15 + 10 knots.
NOTE: Provides tail clearance during landing since "A" hydraulic system
flight spoilers will be unlocked and may float.
2. Position the GROUND PROXIMITY FLAP INHIBIT switch to FLAP INHIBIT.
3. If installed, position the GROUND PROXIMITY GEAR INHIBIT switch to GEAR
INHIBIT.
4. If GROUND PROXIMITY GEAR INHIBIT switch not installed, pull GND PROX
WARN circuit breaker.
5. Prior to landing, set the GROUND PROXIMITY RUNWAY INHIBIT switch to
RUNWAY INHIBIT (if the Overrun Warning System and GROUND PROXIMITY
RUNWAY INHIBIT switch are installed).
(M) MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES — texte MEL (maintenance ; l’équipage vérifie que c’est fait) :
None required.
(M#) MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES — personnel maintenance obligatoire — texte MEL :
Deactivate the landing gear selector valve bypass module. (AMM 32-00-00/901).
1. Open and collar P6-3 panel LANDING GEAR ALTN EXTEND SOL circuit breaker.
2. Check that landing gear ground lock pins are properly installed.
3. Verify that the bypass valve module is in the NORMAL position:
a) Momentarily position the landing gear lever in the UP position
b) Verify that the main landing gear downlock actuator tries to extend.
c) Ensure landing gear lever is returned to the DOWN position.
4. Remove landing gear ground lock pins when all maintenance and servicing of airplane is
complete.
