pumping for a period of 1 minute, the loss of indicated altitude must not
exceed 2 per cent of the equivalent altitude of the maximum cabin
differential pressure or 100 feet, whichever is greater.
(i) On completion of the static pressure system test, ensure that all static port
seals are removed.
(2) Pitot-systems
(a) The pitot system is tested for leaks by applying a pressure at the pitot head
sufficient to cause the airspeed indicator to read 120 knots, or the maximum
indicated speed, whichever is the greater.
(b) There must be no discernible lag in the movement of the airspeed indicator
pointer with the application of the pressure, as such a lag indicates
restrictions in the piping.
(c) There must be no decrease in the reading when the system is sealed for at
least 10 seconds.
Clause 2 Tests for altimeters and air data computers
Note For testing of air data computers, see subclause 2 (8) below.
(1) Environmental conditions test
(a) Vibration (intended to minimise the effects of friction). If suitable test
equipment is available, each test for performance may be conducted with
the instrument installed in the aircraft. If suitable test equipment for an
installed test is not available, or if the instrument fails the installed test, the
instrument must be removed from the aircraft and tested or retested with
vibration applied.
(b) Temperature. When tests are conducted with the temperature substantially
different from ambient temperature of approximately 25°C, allowance must
be made for that temperature difference.
(2) Scale error test
(a) With the barometric pressure scale at 1 013 hPa, the altimeter must be
successively subjected to pressures corresponding to the altitude specified
in Table 1 up to the maximum, normally expected, operating altitude of the
aircraft in which the altimeter is, or is to be, installed.
(b) The reduction in pressure must be made at a rate not in excess of
20 000 feet per minute to within approximately 2 000 feet of the test point.
(c) The test point must be approached at a rate compatible with the test
equipment.
(d) The altimeter must be kept at the pressure corresponding to each test point
for at least 1 minute, but not more than 10 minutes, before a reading is
taken.
(e) The error at all test points must not exceed the tolerances specified in
Table 1.

(c) The test point is then to be approached at a rate of approximately 3 000 feet

minutes, but not more than 15 minutes, before the test reading is taken.
(d) After the reading has been taken, the pressure must be increased further, in
the same manner as before, until the pressure corresponding to the second
test point (40 per cent of maximum altitude) is reached. The altimeter must
be kept at this pressure for at least 1 minute, but not more than 10 minutes,
before the test reading is taken.
(e) After the reading has been taken, the pressure must be increased further, in
the same manner as before, until atmospheric pressure is reached.

types, or in equivalent engine types as determined by CASA, that
collectively meet the standard of paragraph (a).
2.3 For paragraphs 2.2 (a) and (b), where the accumulated history is less than the
requirement, the history of individual components which have demonstrated
time in service in similar engine types, may be taken into account.
3 Engine control system
3.1 The engine control system must meet the requirements of FAR 23.1141
Amendment 29 or a later amendment.
3.2 If use of an emergency/secondary power lever is available, the necessary

or approved equivalent.
4 Engine ignition system
The aeroplane type must be equipped with 1 of the following engine ignition
