1. Description
A. The LH (lefthand) and RH (righthand) offwing ramp/slides (Figure 1) are used for passenger and
crew evacuation of the aircraft under emergency conditions. The ramp/slides are prepacked and
stowed in the offwing ramp/slide compartments, located in the wing-to-body fairing of the aircraft.
Each packed ramp/slide is connected to a remote stored gas reservoir assembly by a hose. When
the overwing emergency exit door is opened in the emergency mode, an electrical signal actuates
the stored gas reservoir assembly. Gas from the reservoir assembly releases ball locks on the
packboard to unlatch the packboard cover and the ramp/slide inflates and deploys. When inflated,
the ramp/slide consists of a horizontal ramp section, which extends from a point on the upper wing
surface aft of the overwing emergency exit door to the slide compartment, and an inclined slide
section, which extends from the compartment to the ground.
B. The ramp/slide includes an inflatable slide assembly consisting of air retaining tubes constructed of
urethane coated nylon fabric. The ramp/slides are coated with a radiant heat reflective coating.
Radiant heat reflective coating is an aluminized coating compound which provides protection from
the effects of radiant heat. The sliding surface is a low friction urethane coated nylon fabric.
C. The ramp/slide is equipped with emergency lighting which illuminates the slide lane and the ground
area in which the evacuees will first contact upon exiting the ramp/slide. The lighting system is
powered by the aircraft emergency power system.
D. A pressurized mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen is stored in a remotely located reservoir
assembly. The major components of the reservoir assembly are a pressure regulating valve
(Regulator Assembly), a filament reinforced pressure vessel (Reservoir) and a hose. When the
regulator valve is activated, the stored gas is discharged downstream through the hoses to the
aspirator on the inflatable tube. The aspirator pumps this gas and ambient air to fully inflate the
ramp/slide.
E. The ramp/slide contains pressure relief valves (PRVs) which prevent over inflation. Each pressure
relief valve contains a poppet valve, preset to open at a specified pressure to vent excess ramp/slide
pressure to the atmosphere. The valve will also close above slide minimum operating pressure to
maintain adequate pressure for evacuation.

F. The packboard and packboard cover are made from carbon fiber reinforced honeycomb laminates.
They are designed to conform to the limited dimensions of the stowage area. A nylon fabric cover
holds the pack in the packboard. Pneumatically actuated ball locks are utilized to unlatch the cover
and allow the ramp/slide to inflate out of the packboard.
2. OPERATION
A. Ramp/slide operation begins when the aircraft overwing emergency exit door opens under
emergency conditions. As the door opens, a pyrotechnic device on the regulator is electrically
activated, opening the regulator valve on the reservoir assembly. Stored gas then flows through the
hose connecting the reservoir assembly to the ramp/slide. Ball locks on the cover release and the
cover moves away from the path of the inflating ramp/slide. Retaining straps on the cover control the
final cover position.
B. Ramp/slide inflation begins as the reservoir assembly forces gas into the packed ramp/slide causing
it to expand. As the ramp/slide expands, the change in pack volume results in the release of the
speed lacing which contains the pack in the packboard. At this time the primary gas is supplied to
the aspirator and inflation is initiated.
C. The aspirator, which is used to inflate the ramp/slide, pumps gas into the inflatable. Girt attachment
straps attach the ramp/slide to the packboard and keep the ramp/slide correctly aligned with the
aircraft.
D. The fully inflated ramp/slide provides a means of evacuating the aircraft via the overwing exit door,
across the wing on the ramp and down the inclined slide to the ground.
E. Reliable operation is dependent upon two conditions:
(1) Adequate inflation pressure.
(a) The stored gas reservoir must be charged to 3290 psig (22,668 kPag) at 70° F (21° C).
Refer to Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) 25–62–26.
(b) Correctly charged cylinder pressure is indicated electronically in the aircraft cockpit.
(2) Correct packing. Reference Packing Instructions no. 501703 for left-hand units and 501704 for
right-hand units.
(a) The packing procedures outlined in the Packing Instructions must be followed for the ramp/
slide to deploy reliably.

4. Maintenance Schedule
Goodrich emergency evacuation systems are designed and manufactured to save lives by providing a
quick and efficient means of emergency evacuation from an aircraft. The fulfillment of this function
demands that evacuation system maintenance be given attention equal to that of any other primary
aircraft system.
Goodrich specifies that the ramp/slides covered by this manual are maintained on a scheduled basis, with
the time between overhauls not to exceed 36 months. Ramp/Slide overhaul includes:
- Testing and inspecting the unit in accordance with the TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION and
CHECK sections of this manual.
- Making repairs and refurbishing the unit in accordance with the REPAIR and ASSEMBLY
sections of this manual.
- Repairs or overhauling the aspirator, based on its condition, in accordance with its separate
manual.
- Repacking the unit in accordance with the appropriate packing instructions.
The above describes the maximum recommended periods between scheduled maintenance. Operators
should note that the intervals may need to be shortened due to local regulatory requirements or in
response to in–service environmental factors, results of periodic testing and maintenance or age. Refer to
Goodrich Service Newsletter No. 25-163 for additional recommendations regarding inspection of aging
evacuation systems.
5. Related Documents
The documents that are used with the ramp/slide are listed in Table 2. Packing instructions are required
to repack the ramp/slide after inflation and to prepare the unit for installation on the aircraft. The
packboard and aspirator are major components of the ramp/slide. The reservoir assembly is installed on
the aircraft separately from the ramp/slide.

1. General
A work area of at least 40 ft. X 40 ft. (12.2 m X 12.2 m) is needed to lay out the unit. To prevent damage
to the inflatable, Goodrich recommends that the immediate area be carpeted or padded. All personnel
must wear packing socks.
CAUTION: THE INFLATABLE REQUIRES CAREFUL HANDLING TO PREVENT
DAMAGE. DO NOT ALLOW THE ASPIRATOR TO HIT AGAINST A HARD
SURFACE. THIS WILL CAUSE CUTS IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE
INFLATABLE. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES MUST BE USED IN
THE WORK AREA. METAL SHAVINGS, SHARP INSTRUMENTS, WOOD
STICKS, AND OTHER SHARP OBJECTS CAN PUNCTURE THE FABRIC
AND CAUSE LEAKS.
NOTE: The level of disassembly shall not be more than is necessary for overhaul or to
complete the repair. For identification of damage or functional failure, refer to
the CHECK and TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION sections.
2. Unpacking
A. Place the packed unit in the packing fixture (P/N 4A4000-3 for LH units and P/N 4A4000-4 for RH
units) on protected floor of work area.
B. Use cover installation tool P/N 3A4123-13 and depress the ball locks on the packboard door (See
Figure 301) to release the door.
C. Raise door and use clevis loosening tool (P/N 540612-1) to disconnect clevis connecting the four
straps connecting the door to the packboard.

2. Repair Limitations
A. Inflation Tubes
The following describes what is allowed under the “minor repair” category for mechanical damage to
inflation tubes.
(1) Patch repairs can be made to holes and punctures in the inflation tube fabric up to two inches
(5.1 cm) in diameter. Straight tears up to 24 inches (61 cm) in length and “L”-shaped tears up to
12 inches (30 cm) in total length (sum of both legs) may be repaired. Jagged or “saw-tooth”
tears up to six inches (15 cm) in overall length may be repaired. DO NOT patch single instance
damage greater than that described above; contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to
Goodrich for repair.
(2) Strictly observe the maintenance manual recommendations for size of repair patch relative to
damage size. These dimensions have been developed to ensure that the repaired unit will
continue to meet structural strength requirements.
(3) Strictly observe the maintenance manual specifications for patching material and repair
adhesives.
(4) Do not patch holes and tears which extend into or through seams, or which come closer than
two inches to a seam or reinforcement. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to
Goodrich for repair.
(5) Do not apply repair patches over seams, construction tapes or reinforcement patches. Do not
patch holes or tears which are so close to previously installed repair patches that the new repair
patch will come within two inches (5.1 cm) of another repair patch. Do not apply repair patches
that will overlap onto other repair patches. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to
Goodrich for repair.
(6) Do not apply repair patches that are partially on the tube and partially on the base patch of an
accessory item. In such cases, lift the accessory item’s base patch, repair the tube per normal
practices, then reinstall the accessory item over the repair patch.
B. Fabric Porosity
Porosity is defined as air leakage through the fabric coating where there is no mechanical damage
(holes, tears or chafing) to the fabric. Patch repairs are ineffective as a remedy for porosity except in
those cases where the porosity is limited to a small, specific area; thus, repair of porosity is limited to
repair of minor localized porosity. If porosity affects a large area or is spreading throughout a panel,
then panel replacement is indicated. If porosity affects multiple panels, then replacement of the
inflation tube or inflatable assembly is normally the best remedy. If porosity exceeds the limits listed
below, contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to Goodrich for repair.
(1) The maximum size of a single patch used to repair porosity is limited to 64 in.2 (413 cm2). Do
not patch an individual porous area that is so large that it cannot be repaired with a 64 in.2
(413 cm2) patch.
(2) Do not patch a porous area if multiple small patches will exceed 64 in.2 (413 cm2) total on any
one panel.
(3) Do not patch a porous area if individual patches will touch or overlap each other.
C. Fluid Contamination and Hydrolysis
Air leakage can result from deterioration of fabric coating due to fluid contamination or hydrolysis
from long term exposure to humidity and moisture. If contaminated fabric coating remains tacky or
gummy after cleaning, do not patch. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to Goodrich
for repair.
D. Slide Lane
The following describes what is allowed and what is not allowed for repairs to the slide lane.
(1) Physical Damage
(a) Holes, tears and abrasions, where the base fabric threads are cut, in the suspended
portion of the slide lane are not repairable. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the
unit to Goodrich for replacement of the damaged slide lane.
(b) Minor abrasions to the bottom side of the slide lane may be patched provided that the
abraded area is less than one inch (in either length or diameter), the base fabric threads
are not worn completely through, and the slide lane is in good condition otherwise. A repair
patch made of the same material as the slide lane and two inches (5.1 cm) larger overall
than the damaged area, may be applied to the bottom side of the slide lane.
(c) Abrasions to the topside of the slide lane are covered in paragraph d, below.
Page 602
Dec 15/06 25-62-24
GOODRICH
Component Maintenance Manual w/IPL
4A3931 Series
(d) Do not apply patches to the top (sliding side) of the slide lane. Strictly observe the
maintenance manual specifications for repair patch material and repair adhesives.
(2) Wear/Coating Deterioration
(a) Any noticeable loss of topside coating in the slide path area of the slide lane fabric is not
repairable. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to Goodrich for replacement
of the damaged slide lane.
(b) Minor coating loss (less than one inch (2.54 cm) in length or diameter) in the bottom side of
the slide lane may be repaired, provided that the slide lane and its coating are in good
condition otherwise. (If there is damage to the base cloth fibers, then this damage should
be evaluated as an abrasion per paragraph D(1), above.) A repair patch made of the same
material as the slide lane and one inch (2.54 cm) larger overall than the defect may be
applied to the bottom of the slide lane. Coating loss to the bottom side of the slide lane
greater than that described above is not repairable. Contact Goodrich for disposition or
return the unit to Goodrich for replacement of the damaged slide lane.
(c) Coating separation (delamination) and deterioration (tacky or gummy quality of the coating)
is not repairable. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to Goodrich for
replacement of the damaged slide lane.
(3) Soiling, Stains and Discoloration
Some residual staining and discoloration of the slide lane fabric after cleaning is acceptable
provided that the physical properties of the fabric are not affected.
(a) If after cleaning, a stained or discolored area remains soft, tacky or gummy, the coating
has been affected and the fabric must be replaced. Contact Goodrich for disposition or
return the unit to Goodrich for replacement of the damaged slide lane.
(b) If the stained area is stiff or boardy, the physical properties of the fabric have been altered.
Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to Goodrich for replacement of the
damaged slide lane.
(4) Slide Lane Installation/Attachment
Minor loosening (less than two inches (5.08 cm) in any dimension) of the slide lane attachment
is generally repairable using standard repair practices, provided that the slide lane is in good
condition overall. Larger areas of loosening, or numerous areas of loosening, require additional
assessment. Contact Goodrich for disposition or return the unit to Goodrich for repair.
3. Standard Practices
A. Handling adhesive.
(1) The adhesive is a two-component system, specifically designed for polyurethane coated fabrics.
WARNING: DELETED.
NOTE: Acetone may be used as an alternate for MEK in cleaning and tackifying
operations in paragraphs 3.C, (3), 3.D. (3) and 3.E, (4).
B. Mixing P/N 845116-101 urethane adhesive (P/N 1A2580-32 Urethane Adhesive Kit)
(1) Standard mixing ratio: 4 ml of P/N 845116-2 catalyst to 1 pint of P/N 845116-1 adhesive.
(2) Thoroughly stir adhesive P/N 845116–1 and urethane catalyst P/N 845116–2 independently
prior to mixing.
(3) Add catalyst to adhesive and stir or roll the mixed components thoroughly to make sure the
mixture is homogeneous.
NOTE: Adhesive mixture must be used within eight hours. Discard mixture
after pot life has ended.

NOTE: Make sure that no solid material is left in the bottom of mixing
container.
(4) Using a clean lint free rag, apply a thin coat of 1A2526-1 aluminum coating over all cleaned and
repaired areas. Coating should extend 1 - 1.5 inch (2.54 - 3.81 cm) past the repaired area
perimeter or the edge of the new attachment.
NOTE: Make sure that all overcemented areas are coated with aluminized
coating.
(5) Allow the coated surface a minimum of one hour drying time before contact with another surface
or material.
NOTE: Allow the touch-up coating to dry a minimum of four hours before
packing the unit.
G. Sewing
CAUTION: DO NOT SEW ON ANY AIR RETENTIVE SLIDE FABRIC SURFACES
AS THIS WILL ALLOW LEAKS.
(1) Accomplish all sewing on a lock-stitch type sewing machine set at eight stitches per inch. Use
bonded nylon thread, Federal Specification V-T-295, Type II, Size E, Class A (White). Back-
stitch or overlap circumferential stitching 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) before breaking threads, or tie loose
thread ends.
(2) When machine sewing is impractical, hand-sew, using a minimum of five stitches per inch.
Back-stitch three or more stitches.
H. Procedure for removing components (or tape).
NOTE: Polyurethane coated materials are best separated by gently lifting the
component (or tape) from the panel beginning at the edge.
(1) If applicable, lift the edge of the fabric or start lifting tape at a splice area. Use fingernail to
separate an area of sufficient size to enable being grasped with the fingers, hand and/or pliers.
(2) If the component (or tape) cannot be removed without pulling off excessive coating from the air
retention fabric, the tape may be slit at the seam or the component cut-off.
4. Repair Procedures
NOTE: Ramp/slide inflatable assemblies are constructed using NS-452 fabric
(aluminized color). For repair material, use NS-452 fabric and cut patch on a
bias, or use bias tape NS-459.
