UNRELIABLE/FLUCTUATING AIRSPEED
| Message Code: | 341OBS002 |
| Effectivity: | All |
| System: | Air Data Computer (ADC) System |
| System Description: | 34-11-00 |
| Schematic Diagram: | 34-11-00 [ Global Express ] [ G5000 ] [ Global XRS ] |
| Wiring Diagram: | 34-11-01 [ Global Express ] [ G5000 ] [ Global XRS ] |
Message Description:
Large Air Data Computer (ADC)/ Integrated Standby Instrument (ISI) airspeed difference between Primary Flight Display (PFD) and/or ISI is detected by flight crew and Aircraft Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) AVNC 02-21 or Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) 03-12 procedure were used.
Symptoms of unreliable airspeed may include:
- Pitch attitude, thrust setting or external noise not consistent with indicated airspeed.
- Loss of multiple airspeed indications.
- Airspeed indication(s) remain constant regardless of pitch or thrust adjustments
- Presence of ALL ADC MISCP (Caution) or IAS annunciation on the PFD.
Possible Causes:
- Visual drains are full of water
- Pitot line P1, P2, P3 and P STBY
- Static line S1, S2, S3 and S STBY
- Integrated Standby Instrument (ISI)
- Air Data Computer (ADC) 1, 2 and/or 3
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Do the contamination removal of the pitot and static lines as follows:
- Do the contamination removal of the pitot line P1 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-801)
- Do the contamination removal of the pitot line P2 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-802)
- Do the contamination removal of the pitot line P3 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-803)
- Do the contamination removal of the pitot line P STBY (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-804)
- Do the contamination removal of the static line P1 S1/S2 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-805)
- Do the contamination removal of the static line P2 S1/S2 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-806)
- Do the contamination removal of the static line P3 S1/S2 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-807)
- Do the contamination removal of the static line P STBY S1/S2 (AMM TASK 34-11-01-100-808)
NOTE: This step should be performed regardless if contamination is found in the moisture traps.
- Use the PMAT to access CAIMS and view stored or active faults. Check for any Integrated Standby Instrument (ISI) or Air Data Computer (ADC) fault messages.
- If fault messages are found, use SmartFix Plus to troubleshoot these codes.
- If no fault messages are found, continue with next step.
- Replace the ISI. Is the fault still present?
- If YES, continue with next step.
- If NO, do close out.
- Replace the Air Data Computer associated to the unreliable indication.
- Do close out.
