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 sticker on Air Conditioning Control Panel, and fabricate a placard stating GROUND AIR
CONNECTION VALVE INOPERATIVE OPEN/CLOSED and affix on inside of Ground Pneumatic
Connection Door.
4. Journey log / other instructions (texte MEL) :
Print the following information in the journey log sheet.
• Ground Pneumatic Connector Check Valve Inoperative Open
GROUND AIR CONNECTION CHECK VALVE INOP OPEN - REVIEW LIMITATIONS
• Ground Pneumatic Connector Check Valve Inoperative Closed
GROUND AIR CONNECTION CHECK VALVE INOP CLOSED
5. Respecter toutes les restrictions du MEL — ne pas en inventer.
(O) OPERATIONS PROCEDURES — texte MEL :
36-02A Inoperative Open:
NOTE: When dispatching with a single engine bleed on for takeoff (airplane pressurized), V1(MCG)
should be determined based on AC packs OFF. Takeoff performance should be based on packs
AUTO.
1. Following engine start, depressurize the right pneumatic duct prior to removing the ground
pneumatic source. Operate airplane with:
• Right bleed OFF
• Right pack OFF
• Isolation valve CLOSE
2. Operate the left pack using the left engine bleed or APU bleed with isolation valve CLOSE.
NOTE 1: At altitudes 17,000 feet and below, increased airflow will occur when flaps are extended
(takeoff and landing) and the APU is used instead of engine bleed to supply bleed air to
the operating pack. Refer to Boeing Operations Manual, NO ENGINE BLEED TAKEOFF AND
LANDING Supplementary Procedure.
NOTE 2: With the PACK switch in AUTO, the pack will operate in the high flow mode when the APU
is used as the bleed source.
3. Maximum altitude is FL 250.
36-02B Inoperative Closed:
With the ground pneumatic connector check valve inoperative closed, engines cannot be started from
ground source. Use APU as air source for starting engines.
(M) MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES — texte MEL (maintenance ; l’équipage vérifie que c’est fait) :
Ground Pneumatic Connector Check valve inoperative open (AMM 36-00-00/901):
1. Use a ground pneumatic source for starting the right engine.
2. Prior to removing the ground pneumatic source, verify with flight crew that the right pneumatic
duct is depressurized (right engine bleed OFF and isolation valve CLOSE).
3. Advise Dispatch: Ground pneumatic source will be required at down line stations if right engine is
shutdown.
