COCKPIT PHILOSOPHY
Prior to the design of the A320 family aircraft, the designers examined
previous generation aircraft cockpit system indications. A decision was
made on the system indicator lights on the overhead panel that indicator
lights do not come on when systems are in normal operation and there
are no failures.
This ergonomic design enabled the pilots to immediately see when a
system is faulty or has been manually shut off.
Most of the pushbuttons with light have two stable positions: pressed in
and released out, each position is related to a control signal sent to a
system.
Pressed in (recessed):
- normally used system activation (AUTO or ON),
- temporarily used system activation (ON),
- system activated for maintenance operation (ON) or override (OVRD).
Released out (flush with the panel):
- deactivation of a system (OFF),
- manual activation of a system (ON),
- activation of an alternate system (ALTN).
Some pushbuttons have only one stable position:
- released out.
UG913131 - U7QT0DO - UM00PY000000001

When pushed, they send a control signal to the system.

GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS
The World Airlines Technical Operations Glossary (WATOG) definition
of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) is:
equipment required on the ground to support the operation and
maintenance of the aircraft and all its airborne equipment.
Airbus divides GSE into two categories:
- tools,
- standard GSE.
Tools can be split into two categories:
- standard tools,
- specific tools.
STANDARD TOOLS
Standard tools are hand tools such as spanners, sockets, gauges, torque
wrenches...
The specifications (size, range, capacity, accuracy...) are given in the
related Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) task to let operators use
the tool brand of their choice.
Standard tools for Aircraft Maintenance are all in US units.
Metric tools maybe required for shop maintenance.
They are not required for aircraft maintenance but will be required to
UG913131 - U7QT0DO - UM00PY000000001

maintain Airbus specific tools and, in some cases, for aircraft

component maintenance in the shop.

GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS (continued)
SPECIFIC TOOLS
Specific tools are tools designed by Airbus or by its vendors to carry
out given maintenance tasks on the aircraft or one of its components.
All maintenance tools for "on - aircraft" maintenance such as the
AMM, Trouble Shooting Manual (TSM)... and for "off - aircraft"
maintenance such as the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM)
are found in the Support Equipment Summary (SES) document.
The SES covers all Airbus aircraft types and all associated
documentation.
If a tool does not appear in the SES it is not a tool for Airbus aircraft
or equipment.
All specific tools called up for "on - aircraft" maintenance in the AMM
and the TSM are illustrated in the Tool Equipment Manual (TEM).

Airbus considers as standard GSE any GSE which is not designed for
a specific aircraft type, but it can/could be used on a number of
different aircraft types.
Standard GSE includes, but is not limited: tow bars, axle/wheel change
jacks, tripod maintenance jacks, access platforms, hydraulic ground
carts, electrical power units, etc...

JACKING
Three jacking points, when equipped with jacking pads, are used to lift
the aircraft. The forward point "A" is located forward of the nose landing
gear. The points "B" and "C" are located outboard of the engine pylon.
A safety jack positioned at the rear of the aircraft prevents the aircraft
from tipping up.
The open air jacking operation is limited if the wind velocity exceeds
permissible values which depend on aircraft gross weight and center of
gravity position.
In any condition, the aircraft must be pointed upwind.
The three jacks have to be operated together.
The aircraft has to be lifted so that the landing gear can be operated in
the "landing gear shock absorbers deflated, flat tyres" configuration.
As soon as the jacking operation is finished, position the safety jack at
the tail.
Jacking pads have to be used under the jacking points to spread the loads.
To make sure that excessive side loads are not placed on the jacks and
on the aircraft structure, a quick leveling check must be carried out during
the jacking operation.
The leveling check can be made through different ways using:
- the Attitude Monitor (if installed),
UG913131 - U7QT0DO - UM00PY000000001

- a Spirit Level in the FWD Cargo Compartment or in the Passenger

compartment.
- the ADIRUs pitch and roll angles, through the Alpha call up's codes
(AIDS).

TOWING
Towing: you can tow the aircraft by the nose landing gear or the main
landing gear. You can also tow the aircraft with deflated tires.
Towing operation, whether push back or pull, requires a good team
co-operation.
Some airlines have two different types of towing procedures in use:
- maintenance towing,
- transportation servicing towing.
Maintenance towing procedures are laid down in the applicable AMM -
Chapter 09.
Transportation servicing towing procedures are published in the applicable
ramp operation manuals.
The major differences between the two are that transportation services
only get involved with moving aircraft on ramps for positioning or
dispatch pushback.
When they are handling the towing operation, they require either a pilot
or qualified maintenance man on the aircraft brakes.
On the other hand, maintenance personnel is involved in moving aircraft
in abnormal situation such as aircraft stuck in mud, towing with flat tires,
engines removal, etc., as well as routine towing to gates.
Because of the hazards that may be involved in the towing operation,
UG913131 - U7QT0DO - UM00PY000000001

major precautions taken have been gathered together and are listed under
paragraph "General Towing Precaution".
Caution and warnings are repeated as necessary in the particular step of
the towing operation to which they apply.

PLACARDS AND MARKINGS
The ATA 11 gives the location and illustrations of the placards, stencils
and markings on the A/C (internal or external side).
The placards and markings on the A/C give the data and instructions
related to safety and maintenance.
Some of these placards and markings are necessary to obey the regulation
used for the Airbus aircraft type certification (JAR 25). There are
identified by a flag note as follows: NOTE (1) REQUIRED BY
REGULATION.
This example is extracted from the AMM chapter 11-21-52: Passenger

A/C SERVICING ARRANGEMENT
The graphic shows the access to the aircraft by various servicing
equipment. The A318 fuselage is shorter than the rest of the single aisle
aircraft. Due to the removal of 2.39 meters or 1.5 frames of the forward
fuselage, the aft edge of the forward cargo compartment door now is in
close proximity to the engine air intake nose cowl. When using a self
propelled conveyor belt, there is a possibility of structural damage to the
nose cowl because of the clearance.

NOTE: Note: The use of a self-propelled conveyor belt is not

recommended by Airbus.
The main difference between the A318/A319 and the A320/A321
servicing arrangement is that the A320 and A321 can have a bulk loader
on the bulk cargo door.

TURNING RADII
The different turning radii values are shown on a steering diagram. "Y"
is the distance between the centerline of the A/C longitudinal axis (X-axis)
and the theoretical center of turn for turning radius. "A" matches the
minimum turning width for a 180° turn. "Y, A" and the radii "R3, R4,
R5 and R6" values depend on two parameters: effective turn angle and
steering angle.

MOORING OF THE AIRCRAFT
The function of mooring is to prevent damage to the aircraft on ground
in high wind conditions.
For wind speeds less than 50 kts:
- Mooring is not necessary if the aircraft configuration is in the limits
given in AMM chapter 05-57-00.
If the aircraft points into the wind and wind speed is:
- Between 50 and 70 Kts, moor the aircraft at the NLG,
- More than 70 Kts, moor the aircraft at the NLG and MLG.
If the aircraft does not point into the wind or the direction of the wind
is not stable:
- For wind speeds or gusts of more than 50 Kts, moor the aircraft at
the NLG and the MLG.
