7.1.7 GEA
71
Original GEA 71 Reinstalled:
No software or configuration loading is required if the original GEA 71 is reinstalled. This does
not include units that were returned for repair as their software and configuration files are
deleted during the repair testing process.
Original GEA 71s Installed in Opposite Locations for Troubleshooting:
No software loading or configuration is required if the original GEA units are installed in
opposite locations (GEA #1 and GEA #2 in opposite unit racks) for troubleshooting. Load the
GEA1 and GEA2 Configuration files.
New or Repaired GEA 71 Installed:
If a new or repaired GEA 71 is installed, load the following files after removing the
Supplemental Database cards from the bottom slots of each display:
•
GEA1 Software
•
GEA2 Software
•
GEA1 Configuration
•
GEA2 Configuration
Note which card was removed from the MFD so it may be identified later for reinsertion in the
MFD when software and configuration loading is complete. It contains a FliteChart or
Chartview database which is only used by the MFD. Reinstall all the cards after the software
and configuration file loads are complete.
7.1.7.1 GEA 71 Testing
If unit is removed or replaced the following tests are recommended:
Each GEA 71 sensor input must be checked with the aircraft engine off. Verify all engine
information systems are valid on the MFD, and no GEA 71 related alerts appear on the PFD.
Exercise and test all discrete, analog, and/or digital inputs and check for appropriate responses.
