Pressure Testing of Rudder :
Gravity method :
Fill water in rudder upto 2.46m above top of rudder & observe it. Water level should not drop.
Hose Test :
Drain plug has to removed & hose is applied on the slot welds & observe if water is coming from the drain plug. This is to be done before gravity method.
