3.7.5 Leak Testing
General

Apply pressure to the system under test as detailed in Testing the Aircraft Static or Pitot system. 
Before starting the leak test, check that the ADTS 505 is operating within range of the set limits. 

Example

To leak test a pitot system to 300 knots at a maximum rate of 300 knots/min and a static system 
to 30,000 ft at a maximum rate 5,000 ft/min. Tests with a wait time of 5 minutes and test time of 
1 minute. Maximum pitot system leak rate allowed 5 kts/min or less. Maximum static system leak 
rate 200 ft/min or less.

Procedure 

1.

Select F2 [Units], from the Main Menu, select F1 [ft, kts, kts/min]. Press 

CLEAR/QUIT

 to return to the 

main menu.

2.

Press 

SETUP

, select F1 [Display], press F3 [Quad] and then press 

ALT/Ps

, 

ROC/RATE Ps

, 

SPEED/Qc

 

and 

RATE

 so that the display shows these parameters in the most appropriate order.

3.

Press F3, [Rate Timer], then F3 [Set Wait 5.00], press 

ENTER

 and F4 [Set Time 1.00], press 

ENTER

. 

Press F6 to return to the Main menu.

4.

Press the 

LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL

 to enter control mode. Press 

ROC/RATE Ps

 and set an Aim of 

5000 ft/min. Press 

ALT/Ps

 and set an Aim value of 30,000 ft and press 

ENTER

. The system starts 

to control to the new set-point. 

5.

Press the 

LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL

 to enter measure mode. Press F1 [Rate Timer] and press F1 

[Start Timing].

6.

At the end of the timing check the rate of change (leak rate) this should be within the required limits 
stated in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual; in this example 200 ft/min or less.

7.

Press the 

LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL

 to enter control mode. The preset rate of speed is set at 300 

knots/min. Press 

SPEED/Qc

 and set an Aim of 300 knots. The system starts to control to the new 

set-point. 

8.

Press the 

LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL

 to enter measure mode. Press F1 [Rate Timer] and press F1 

[Start Timing].

9.

At the end of the timing check the rate of change (leak rate) this should be within the required limits 
stated in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual; in this example 5 kts/min or less.

Note:

If further testing is required, apply another pressure to the system under test and repeat the 
steps above.

On completion of testing, press the 

LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL

 to enter control mode, select 

GROUND

 and wait for the `Safe at Ground' message to be displayed, see 3.7.8., refit the pitot and 

static blanking caps.
