Message Overview:
Message Description:
The ADC MACH and ISI MACH miscompare. Verify the ADCs and ISI.
Possible Causes:
- Pitot-Static Probes
- Integrated Standby Instrument (ISI) (A90)
- Air Data Computer 1 (ADC) (A1)
- Air Data Computer 2 (ADC) (A2)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin:
- AW300-27-34-0010 - Integrated Standby Instrument (ISI) Airspeed Indication Fluctuation & Potential STALL PROTECT FAIL and/or RUDDER LIMITER FAULT Messages (20501 - 20999)
Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None
Potential airspeed fluctuations, "STALL PROTECT FAIL" and "RUDDER LIMITER FAULT" Crew Alerting System (CAS) messages may be experienced after the aircraft has been in heavy or extended rain in flight or on the ground.
To clear the "STALL PROTECT FAIL" message that may be due to water ingestion, the following troubleshooting can be used:
CAUTION: ENSURE THE PROBES COVERS ARE REMOVED.
- Activate the probe heaters on ground with the following limitations: The probe heaters should not be activated on ground in still air for longer than 5 minutes.
- After five minutes, if the messages are still present, assume that water in the probe is not the cause of the failure.
- Visually inspect the probes for contamination that may be preventing proper operation of the probes. Refer to Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) tasks for cleaning of the Pitot-Static Probe and cleaning of the Standby Pitot Probe.
- Water accumulation further in the line beyond the probe should also be considered if the fault does not clear. Visually inspect the drain tube for the P-3 pitot line per AMM to ensure that no moisture is present.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Reset circuit breaker CB1-C1 AIR DATA 1 and CB2-C1 AIR DATA 2.
- If system check are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue to next step.
- On center, cycle off/on the STBY INST pushbutton.
- If system check are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue to next step.
- In Maintenance Main Menu, select LRU INDEX/OPERATIONS and check Stall Computer label 354.
- Check status of SPC label 354 bit 22.
- If bit 22 = 0, go to step 7.
- If bit 22 = 1 and NO ISI MACH INPUT is shown on MDC, continue to next step.
- Inspect SPC connector A178A or ISI connector A90P1 for pin damaged. Repair/replace as required.
- If system check are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue to next step.
- Do wiring checks between SPC and ISI. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains continue to next step.
- Check status of SPC label 354 bit 29.
- If bit 29 = 0, go to step 11.
- If bit 29 = 1 and NO ISI MACH INPUT is shown on MDC, continue to next step.
- Inspect SPC connector A178AP1 and ADC connector A1P1 for pin damaged. Repair/replace as required.
- If system check are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue to next step.
- Inspect SPC connector A178BP1 and ADC connector A2P1 for pin damaged. Repair/replace as required.
- If system check are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue to next step.
- Do wiring checks of L-ADC-6 and R-ADC-6 ARINC bus between SPC and ADC. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains continue to next step.
- Replace ADC.
- Do close out.
