5、 Performance Standard for Underwater Locating Devices (Acoustic) (Self-Powered)RATIONALETechnology exists to increase the minimum Underwater Locating Devices (ULD) operating life without changes to the form, fit or function of an installed ULD. For aircraft search and recovery in extremely remote ar

6、eas, a ULD operating for 30 days may not be sufficient. This revision includes an increase of the minimum operating life in paragraph 4.7 from 30 days to 90 days and updates to the environmental testing. 1. PURPOSE This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) specifies minimum performance standards for Acoustic

7、 Underwater Locating Devices which are primarily intended for use with both fixed and rotary wing civil aircraft. 2. SCOPE This AS covers ULD utilized in finding flight data recorders, cockpit voice recorders or aircraft. Such ULDs are installed adjacent to the recorders in a manner that they are un

8、likely to become separated during crash conditions. 2.1 Applicable Documents The following publications form a part of this document only to the extent they are explicitly invoked by the requirements within this Aerospace Standard.

15、 or model number shall be physically and functionally interchangeable. 3.5 Flammability & Fire Test: The exposed surfaces of the ULD and mounting shall be non-flammable. The ULD shall be incapable of sustaining or initiating a fire or rupturing, or both, with or without fragmentation, due to a dead

16、short of the power source. 3.6 Power Source: Means shall be provided to enable the ULD power source to be checked for voltage and longevity in its installed position. Such checks shall be defined in the ULD manufacturers instruction manual. 3.7 Identification: The following information shall be legi

17、ble and, with the exception of battery replacement date, be indelibly marked on the ULD or on the nameplate attached. Markings on the ULD are to be as large as is practical. a.

38、RVIVABILITY) The ULD shall be subjected to crash survivability testing, performed in the order shown below, without making any repairs or modifications between tests. Operational or functional tests as required shall be conducted before and after each clause to verify the operational condition of th

39、e ULD under test. SAE AS8045A Page 5 of 66.1 Impact Shock: The ULD shall be assembled to a suitable fixture using its recommended mounting arrangement. The assembly shall then be subjected to: a) A half sine-wave impact shock of at least 5 ms duration and a peak acceleration of 1000 g applied to eac

40、h of the three orthogonal axes. ORb) A half sine-wave impact shock of at least 6.5 ms duration and a peak acceleration of 1700 g applied to the axis most vulnerable to damage. 6.2 Impact: When assembled in its recommended mounting arrangement, the ULD shall be placed on an unyielding surface. An imp

41、actor, consisting of a steel penetrator (Fig. 1) with a rigidly attached mass is required. The penetrator shall have a maximum dimension across the surface of the protrusion of 0.64 cm (0.25 in) by 2.5 cm (1.0 in). This protruding surface shall impact the ULD. The total mass of the impactor shall be

42、 25 kg (55 lb). The impactor shall be dropped on the ULD from a height of 15 cm (6.0 in) above the surface of the ULD such that at least half of the penetrator impacts within a 2.5 cm (1.0 in) radius of the most vulnerable point of the ULD. 6.3 Static Crush: When assembled in its recommended mountin

43、g arrangement, the ULD is to be exposed to a static crush force of 22.4 kN (5000 lbf) continuously for 5 minutes. The crush force is to be applied in the most critical direction. The crush force may be applied by placing the ULD between two flat surfaces and bringing the surfaces together until the

44、22.4 kN (5000 lbf) force is developed. 6.4 Pressure: The ULD is to be exposed to an external pressure of 60 MPa (8700 lbf/in2) for a period of 5 minutes. The pressure, equivalent to that of an ocean depth of 6096 m (20 000 ft), shall be applied as a uniformly distributed force in a suitable conducti

45、ve solution. After test completion, there shall be no signs of seepage or leakage into the ULD.7.
