- Abstract
- A portable unit is described for automatically checking out a system which uses ultraviolet radiation to detect aircraft fire hazards. The unit reads out sorted data gathered during flight, checks the operational capability of the detector, and identifies faulty line replacement units. Volume 3 (of three volumes) provides detailed information on the Ground Support Equipment (GSE) for automatic and manual checkout of the system.
