Introduction
This document describes how the Troubleshooting data codes (TSD) relate to the
CFDS messages and ECAM warnings for the Landing gear Control & Interface Unit
LGCIU 6647 Series.
The LGCIU has 253 Troubleshooting data codes each one is individual and is made up
of a letter and a decimal number. The letter relates to what part of the LGCIU or
system is faulty and the number gives the type of fault.
For example H146 means Microprocessor card (H), Watchdog timer fault (146).
Table 1 identifies all of the LGCIU TSD codes and details of the failure condition
detected, it also includes information concerning the associated CFDS Messages and
ECAM Warnings applicable to LGCIU 1.
The notes on page 26 explain how to read across to LGCIU 2 CFDS Messages and
ECAM warnings.
For example the ECAM Warning "LGCIU 1 FAULT" for LGCIU 1 becomes "LGCIU
2 FAULT " for LGCIU 2.
Only one LGCIU is in control of the landing gear at any one time. If the LGCIU in
'control' is affected by a 'control fault' it will automatically transfer control of the
landing gear to the other LGCIU providing the other LGCIU is free of 'control faults'.
Where the Comment column states "Automatic Control Change over" this means that
the fault is a 'control fault' and control will be transferred from one LGCIU to the other
LGCIU not withstanding the previous sentence. For more details, refer to note A145 on
page 29.
Where the Comment column states "No Effect on L/G Control" and the ECAM
Warning column states "From Affected systems" it means that : This type of failure
has no LGCIU ECAM warning allocated to it. However, the Systems receiving this
information may be able to detect that an LGCIU interface signal has failed (for
example by comparing the signals from LGCIU 1 with LGCIU 2). These Systems may
then generate their own ECAM warning e.g. the Flight Control System may generate
F/CTL.
Introduction
Ce document dcrit les codes de pannes TSD ainsi que les messages CFDS et les
messages ECAM associs pour les Landing Gear Control & Interface Units LGCIU
dont le part number commence par 6647.
Ce document est un aide la leve de doute et au dpannage sur avion. Il rsume des
informations du CMM 32-31-39 qui reste la rfrence. En cas de diffrence entre le
CMM et ce guide, le CMM doit servir de rfrence.
Le LGCIU a 253 codes de pannes. Chaque code est constitu d'une lettre qui dcrit le
sous ensemble en panne (voir liste page 7), et d'un nombre qui dcrit le type de panne.
Par exemple, le code H146 indique une panne du timer Watchdog (146) sur la carte
Microprocesseur (H).
Le tableau 1 liste tous les codes de pannes du LGCIU, dcrit les pannes, les messages
de panne CFDS et les alarmes ECAM associes pour le LGCIU1.
L'extension et la rtraction des trains d'atterrissage ne sont contrles que par un seul
LGCIU la fois. Lorsque ce LGCIU a une panne de type "Control Fault", alors il
donnera le contrle l'autre LGCIU la condition que celui-ci ne soit pas affect
d'une panne similaire "Control Fault". Ceci s'applique pour tous les cas lists dans le
tableau ci-aprs o il est crit "Automatic control change over". Pour plus de dtails,
voir aussi le commentaire page 29 sur le code A145.
Les pannes dinterface entre le LGCIU et les autres calculateurs gnrent un message
CFDS mais pas toujours de message dalarme ECAM indiquant le LGCIU. Au
contraire, lalarme ECAM viendra du systme affect par la perte du LGCIU. Par
exemple, si le systme Flight Control dtecte un dsaccord entre deux signaux
provenant des LGCIU 1 et 2, alors, le message ECAM sera "F/CTL" et non pas
"LGCIU". Ces pannes sont dcrites dans les pages suivantes : la colonne ECAM
Warning comporte linformation " From affected system(s) " et le champ commentaire
prcise "No Effect on L/G Control ".
Einleitung
Dieses Dokument beschreibt, wie die Pannenkodierung des TSD (Trouble Shooting
Data Codes) mit den CFDS-Meldungen (Centralised Fault Display System) und den
ECAM-Warnmeldungen fr die LGCIU (Landing Gear Control & Interface Unit) der
6647 Serie zusammenhngt.
Das LGCIU hat 253 jeweils individuelle Pannenkodierungen, die aus einem
Buchstaben und einer Dezimalzahl bestehen. Der Buchstabe gibt an, welcher Teil des
LGCIUs oder des Systems fehlerhaft ist; die Nummer gibt Aufschluss ber den
Fehlertyp.
Die Bemerkungen auf Seite 26 erklren, wie die LGCIU 2 CFDS-Meldungen und
ECAM-Warnmeldungen zu lesen sind.
Nur eines der LGCIUs ist fr den Betrieb des Fahrwerkes jeweils zustndig. Wenn das
zustndige LGCIU durch einen Kontrollfehler ausfllt, wird es automatisch durch
das andere LGCIU ersetzt, ausser Letzteres weist ebenfalls Kontrollfehler auf.
Wenn in der Spalte Bemerkungen die Angabe Automatic Control Change Over
vermerkt ist, bedeutet dies, dass der Fehler ein Kontrollfehler ist und die Kontrolle
von einem LGCIU zum anderen bertragen wird. Mehr Einzelheiten liefert die
Bemerkung A145 auf Seite 29.
Wenn die Spalte Bemerkungen die Angabe No Effect on L/G Control enthlt und
die ECAM Warnmeldespalte von fehlerhaften Systemen angibt, ist die Situation wie
folgt:
Dieser Fehlertyp ist fr LGCIUs als interfacesignals eingestuft, d.h. es existiert keine
entsprechende ECAM-Warnmeldung fr die Fahrwerke. Jedoch knnte es passieren,
dass die Systeme, die diese Information erhalten, eventuell in der Lage sind, die Panne
des LGCIU-Interfacesignals festzustellen (zum Beispiel indem sie die Signale von
LGCIU 1 mit LGCIU 2 vergleichen). Diese Systeme generieren dann ggfs. ihre
eigene ECAM Warnmeldung. So knnte zum Beispiel die Meldung F/CTL durch
das Flugsteuerungssystem generiert werden.

In simple terms, the LGCIU 1 monitors the cargo door position by monitoring the cargo
door safety mechanism and cargo door handle prox sensors.
The LGCIU 2 monitors the cargo door-locking shaft. When the locking shaft has been
manually unlocked it is safe to power open the door, so the LGCIU allows a hydraulic
pump to run such that hydraulic pressure is available through manual selector valves to
power open the door(s).
Hence there are different cargo door sensors for LGCIU 1 and 2, so the following Table 3
describes the BITE of the LGCIU 2 cargo door sensors.
The LGCIU BITE Test from the MCDU will not show Proximity Sensor Disagree faults
(e.g. code A154), because the disagree algorithm is running continuously hence any fault
will be shown in the LGCIU Ground Scanning Report. However the LGCIU BITE Test will
perform an accurate self test of the LGCIU internal proximity sensor interface card and
the proximity sensors, hence this may reveal additional faults which will be written into
the ground troubleshooting data page.
Triggered by the valve current exceeding 1 ampere for 1 second. This fault can only be
detected when the valves are energised.
Re-selection will allow lowering but not retraction. If the pilot selects up again and the
fault occurs again then the ECAM Warning L/G SHOCK ABSORBER will be triggered
because both LGCIUs will have set the ARINC 429 'Retraction inhibit' bit. If the fault
does not occur again then the healthy system / LGCIU will retract the landing gear.

If this code is stored on LGCIU 2 it means that the cargo Door forward lockshaft prox
sensor has electrically failed and the cargo door(s) will have to be hand pumped
open/closed.
A037
If this code is stored on LGCIU 2 it means that the cargo door aft lockshaft prox sensor
has electrically failed and the cargo door(s) will have to be hand pumped open/closed.
