TASK 12-14-32-200-001-A
Inspection of the MLG Shock Absorbers Before Flight
WARNING: PUT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES IN POSITION BEFORE YOU
START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE IN POSITION ON THE LANDING
GEAR. THIS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF THE LANDING GEAR, AND THUS
POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT.

3. Job Set-up
Subtask 12-14-32-941-065-A
A. Safety Precautions
(1) As necessary, use the applicable SAFETY BARRIERS, specified by the operator's instructions and
your local regulations.
(2) Make sure that the ground safety locks are installed on the landing gear (Ref. AMM TASK 32-00-00-
481-001) .
(3) On panel 400VU:
· make sure that the landing-gear control-lever 6GA is in the DOWN position.
(4) Make sure that the wheel chocks are in position at the Main Landing Gear (MLG) wheels. Do not put
a chock at the nosewheels.
4. Procedure
(Ref. Fig. MLG Two-Stage Shock Absorber - Dimension H SHEET 1)
Subtask 12-14-32-220-062-A
A. Inspection of the MLG Shock Absorbers Before Flight
(1) Measure the dimension 'H' for each MLG shock absorber and do the applicable step that follows:
(a) If one or two of the 'H' dimension(s) is(are) less than 33 mm (1.2992 in.):
1 Do the functional check of the MLG shock-absorber fluid-level (Ref. AMM TASK 12-12-32-
611-004) .
(b) If the difference between each MLG shock absorber 'H' dimension is more than 45 mm (1.7717
in.):
1 Do the functional check of the MLG shock-absorber fluid-level before the aircraft completes
five flight cycles (Ref. AMM TASK 12-12-32-611-004) .
(c) If the difference between each MLG shock absorber 'H' dimension is between 30 mm (1.1811 in.)
and 45 mm (1.7717 in.):
1 Do the functional check of the MLG shock-absorber charge-pressure at the next available
maintenance check (Ref. AMM TASK 12-14-32-614-003) .
(d) If the difference between each MLG shock absorber 'H' dimension is less than 30 mm (1.1811
in.):
1 No maintenance is necessary.
(2) If oil replenishment or gas charging was necessary, make an entry in the aircraft technical log as
follows:
· It is recommended that you do a weight-on-wheels pressure 'H' dimension check in not less than 24
hours after you lower the aircraft off the jacks (Ref. AMM TASK 12-14-32-200-001) .
NOTE: New hydraulic fluid can absorb nitrogen. Shock-absorber nitrogen pressure can decrease.
