1. PURPOSE
This A380 MAINTENANCE FACILITY PLANNING (MFP) manual is issued for the A380-800 and
A380-800F series aircraft to provide necessary data to airlines for maintenance facilities planning.
The A380-800 is a subsonic, very long range, very high capacity, civil transport aircraft.
There are two models in the A380-800 series :
- A380-841 model equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 970 engine,
- A380-861 model equipped with Engine Alliance GP 7270 engine.
The A380-800F is a subsonic, very long range, civil freighter aircraft.
There are two models in the A380-800F series :

- A380-843F model equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 977 engine,
- A380-863F model equipped with Engine Alliance GP 7277 engine.
In this manual, effectivity is managed as follows :
- by default, the data is effective for all A380-800 and A380-800F models,
- ″A380-800/800F models″ indicates that the related data or page is effective for all A380-800 and
A380-800F models,
- ″A380-800 models″ restricts the effectivity of the related data or page to the A380-841 and
A380-861 models,
- ″A380-800F models″ restricts the effectivity of the related data or page to the A380-843F and
A380-863F models,
- the mention of a specific model (e.g. A380-841 model, A380-863F model, etc.) restricts the
effectivity of the related data or page to that specific model.

1-4 Zoning and Access

Zoning and Access
1. General
This section provides the zone division/delimitation.

2. Aircraft Zoning
NOTE : If no side differentiation is needed (eg. : pylon, bilge area), the old numbering for ″center
zones″ is used.
A. Identification Method
(1) Zones identification is based on ATA 100 Specification.
(2) The aircraft is broken down into Zones identified, each, by a three-digit number where the
first digit (hundreds) corresponds to the Major Zones, the second digit (tens) corresponds
to the Major Sub-Zones and the third digit (units) corresponds to the Zones.
B. Identification of Major Zones, Major Sub-Zones and Zones
Locations and boundaries of the Major Zones and Major Sub-Zones are illustrated on the
following pages.
NOTE : Locations and boundaries of the zones are not given in this manual.
(1) Major Zones (hundreds)
(a) Major Zones boundaries are identified by :
- Frame/Stations/Stringers for fuselage.
- Ribs for wings and vertical/horizontal tail.
- Stations for nacelle and pylon.
(b) The Major Zones are :
- 100 Lower part of fuselage (below main deck floor lower datum), including
radome to forward face of aft pressure bulkead.
- 200 Upper part of fuselage (above main deck floor lower datum) to forward face
of aft pressure bulkead.
- 300 Stabilizer and fuselage rear section from rear of aft pressure bulkead
(including rudder and elevators).
- 400 Powerplants, nacelles and pylons.
- 500 Left wing.
- 600 Right wing.
- 700 Landing gear and landing gear doors.
- 800 Passenger/crew doors, cargo compartment doors, emergency exits and
pressurized maintenance doors.
Page 1
1-4 Oct 01/09
@A380
(2) Major Sub-Zones (tens)

(a) These are divisions of the Major Zones, eg : 100 divided into 110, 120, 130, 140, etc.
(b) The sequence of Major Sub-Zones numbering for fuselage runs from the front to the
rear.
(3) Zones (units)
(a) These are divisions of Major Sub-Zones, eg : 120 divided into 121, 122, 123, etc.
(b) The sequence of Zones for fuselage runs from inboard to outboard, front to rear in
the wing, forward to aft and away from the floor line in the fuselage and from root to
tip in the vertical tail.
(c) Whenever feasible odd numbers are allocated to the zones left of fuselage or nacelle
centerlines and even numbers to zones to the right.

Airplane Attitude
1. General
This section contains the graphs that show the approximate deflections of:
- the tires
- the Nose Landing Gear shock absorbers
- the Wing Landing Gear shock absorbers
- the Body Landing Gear shock absorbers.
When different combinations of deflated tires are considered, the figures are approximate.
NOTE : These aircraft have radial or bias ply tires installed. They are required to have the same
static loaded radius. There are many manufacturers of radial and bias ply tires, each make
of tire could give different deflections. The graphs that follow are for Michelin radial ply
tires:

Vertical Stabilizer Contours
1. General
This section gives Vertical Stabilizer contours.
Vertical stabilizer contours shown in this section have been selected to assist in designing stands or
equipment. These levels provide access to important maintenance areas such as servo controls, rudder
hinges, leading edge, trailing edge, HF and VOR antennas.
The contours given are on the surface of body skin ; clearance space allowances will have to be made
as required.
Ground clearances will depend on whether the airplane is on jacks or on wheels and in this case what
the CG and weight conditions are.

1-16 Wing Profile

General
1. This section gives the Wing Profile.
Positions and dimensions of the wing ribs, from the centerline of the aircraft are given in Figures 1
and 2.
Figure 2 also shows a typical aerofoil cross-section with dimensions for Y and Z.
The selection of these rib positions along the wing is to give the aircraft operator the necessary
heights to make aircraft servicing stands, supports or trestles.
The dimensions for the wing profiles (dimensions Y and Z) at each of the rib positions are given in
para. 2. to 9. All the dimensions for the profiles are taken from the local datum position (at the wing
leading edge, with the slats retracted) and from the horizontal datum VZO.
These dimensions (when plotted from datum VZO) give the shape of the aerofoil cross-section and
full slope of the wing from wingtip to wingroot.
All the dimensions for the profiles are taken from the local datum position (at the wing leading edge,
with the slats retracted) and from the horizontal datum VZO.
2. RIB 7
Intersection of Front Spar and rib 7.
Source of Local datum for rib 7.

2-2 Turnaround Stations

Turnaround Stations
1. General
This section provides typical turn-round time charts showing the typical times for ramp activities
during aircraft turn-round.
Actual times may vary due to each operator’s specific practice and operating conditions.
For each turn-round time chart, the associated typical ramp layout is given in section 2-1.
2. Assumed Turn-Round Time Parameters For A380-800
A. PASSENGER BOARDING/DEBOARDING (PB/D) → 100% (555 pax) passenger exchange :
- Doors (type A - 42″ wide) used : M1L and M2L (main deck) and U1R (upper deck).
- PB/D rate : boarding = 15 pax/min / deboarding = 25 pax/min
- Last Pax Seating Allowance (LPS) = + 4 min
- 60″ stair flow rate : up-flow = 14 pax/min / down-flow = 18 pax/min
B. CARGO → Full LD-3 exchange (22 + 16) LD-3 and bulk exchange of 2 000 kg (4 409 lb) :
- LD-3 off-loading/loading times :
off-loading = 1.4 min/LD-3 / loading = 1.7 min/LD-3
- Pallet loading times :
off-loading = 2.5 min/pallet / loading = 2.9 min/pallet
- bulk off-loading/loading times :
off-loading = 9.2 min/t / loading = 10.5 min/t
C. REFUELLING → Block fuel for Nominal Range through 4 nozzles :
- 261 200 liters (67 364 US gallons) at 40 psi (48 min)
- dispenser positioning or removal = 3 min (fuel truck change) / if any = 5 min
D. CLEANING → Full cleaning :
- Crew adapted to match catering time
E. CATERING → Full catering :
- average truck capacity = 30 Full Size Trolley Equivalent (FSTE)
- simultaneous catering and PB/D = not represented
- inbound/outbound FSTE = mixed in the same truck
- FSTE exchange time :
- dedicated door-galley = 1.5 min/FSTE
- cart circulation (1 seat zone) = + 0.5 min/FSTE
- cart circulation (> 1 seat zone) = + 1.0 min/FSTE
- via lift :
dedicated door to single lift = 2.0 min/FSTE
F. GROUND HANDLING/SERVICING
- start of operations :
Page 1
2-2 Oct 01/09
@A380
- bridges = t0 = 0
others = t0 + 1 min
- vehicle positioning/removal = 2 min (fuel truck excluded)
- upper deck vehicle positioning/removal = 3 min
- clearance between GSE = 0.5 m (20 in)
- Ground Power Unit (GPU) = up to 4 × 90 kVA
- air conditioning = two carts
- potable water (standard/option) = 1 700/2 500 liters (495/660 US gal) at 60 l/min (23 US
gal/min).
- waste water = discharge and rinsing
- dollies per tractor = 4 to 6
3. The A380-800F can achieve turn-round times of 120 ± 20 minutes depending on ULD layouts on the
three decks.
NOTE : These values are similar to other wide-body freighter aircraft in similar operating conditions.

2-8 Towing

Towing
1. This section provides information on aircraft Towing.
The A380-800/800F is designed with means for conventional towing or towbarless towing.
Information on towbarless towing can be found in SIL 09-002 and chapter 9 of the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual.
It is possible to tow or push the aircraft, at maximum ramp weight with engines at zero or up to idle
thrust, using a towbar attached to the nose gear leg. The towbar fitting is installed at the front of
the leg (optional towing fitting for towing from the rear of the NLG available).
The body gears have attachment points for towing or debogging (for details refer to chapter 7 of the
Aircraft Recovery Manual).
NOTE : Information on aircraft towing procedures and corresponding aircraft limitations are given in
chapter 9 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
A. Figure 1: Ground Towing Requirements A380-800 Models shows the chart to determine the
towbar pull and tow tractor mass requirements as function of the following physical
characteristics:
- Aircraft weight,
- Slope,
- Number of engines at idle.
The chart is based on the A380-800 engine type with the biggest idle thrust. The chart is
therefore valid for all A380-800 models.
B. Figure : Typical Tow Bar configuration 1 and Figure : Typical Tow Bar configuration 2 gives
guidelines for the towbar.
2. Towbar design guidelines
The aircraft towbar shall respect the following norms:

- SAE AS 1614, ”Main Line Aircraft TowBar Attach Fitting Interface”,
- SAE ARP1915 Revision C, ”Aircraft TowBar”,
- ISO 8267-1, ”Aircraft - Towbar attachment fitting - Interface requirements - Part 1: Main line
aircraft”,
- ISO 9667, ”Aircraft ground support equipment - Towbars”,
- IATA Airport Handling Manual AHM 958, ”Functional Specification for an Aircraft Towbar”.
A standard type towbar should be equipped with a damping system to protect the nose gear against
jerks and with towing shear pins:
- A traction shear pin calibrated at 62000 daN (139381.53 lbf),
- A torsion pin calibrated at 4800 m.daN (424778.76 lbf.in).
Page 1
2-8 Oct 01/09
@A380
The towing head is designed according to SAE/AS 1614 (issue C) cat. V.
3. Maximum Extension of the NLG Shock Absorber.
- Measure the dimension H between the two red marks on the left side of the NLG.
- Make sure that the dimension H of the NLG is never more than 295 mm (11.6 in.) when you tow
the aircraft (the compression of the shock absorber is 340 mm (13.4 in.)).

EXAMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE MASS REQUIREMENT TO TOW A A380 AT 560 t, AT 1.5% SLOPE,
2 ENGINES AT IDLE AND FOR WET TARMAC CONDITIONS:
−ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH, CHOOSE THE RELEVANT AIRCRAFT WEIGHT (560 t),
−FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUIRED SLOPE PERCENTAGE (1.5%),
−FROM THE POINT OBTAINED DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE UNTIL No. OF ENGINES AT IDLE = 4,
−FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUESTED NUMBER OF ENGINES (2),
−FROM THIS POINT DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE TO THE DRAWBAR PULL AXIS,
−THE Y−COORDINATE OBTAINED IS THE NECESSARY DRAWBAR PULL FOR THE TRACTOR (34.4 t),
−SEARCH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE "WET CONCRETE" LINE.
THE OBTAINED X−COORDINATE IS THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT (60.4 t).

Ground Maneuvering
1. General
This section provides information on airplane turning capability and maneuvering characteristics.
For ease of presentation, this data has been determined from the theoretical limits imposed by the
geometry of the aircraft, and where noted, provides for a normal allowance for tire slippage. As such,
it reflects the turning capability of the aircraft in favorable operating circumstances. This data should
only be used as guidelines for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In the ground operating mode, varying airline practices may demand that more conservative turning
procedures be adopted to avoid excessive tire wear and reduce possible maintenance problems. Airline
operating techniques will vary throughout the world. Variations from standard aircraft operating
patterns may be necessary to satisfy physical constraints within the maneuvering area, such as
adverse grades, limited area or high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering
requirements should be coordinated with the using airlines prior to layout planning.

Operating Conditions
1. Jet Engine Exhaust Velocities and Temperatures
This section shows the estimated engine exhaust efflux velocity and temperature contours for
Maximum Take-off, Breakaway and Idle conditions for the A380 engine models.
Contours are available for both Rolls-Royce’s Trent 900 engine and the Engine Alliance’s GP7200
engine.
The Maximum Take-off data are presented at the maximum thrust rating for all the A380 engine
models, including the A380-800F Freighter version. Therefore, contours hereafter include contours of
the A380-800 Passenger version.
The Breakaway data are presented at a rating corresponding to the minimum thrust level required to
initiate movement of an A380-800F model at its maximum ramp weight from static position and on
uphill ground.
The Idle data are directly provided by the engine manufacturers.
In the charts, longitudinal distances are measured from the inboard engine core nozzle exit station,
while lateral distances are measured from the aircraft fuselage centreline.
A. Data from Rolls-Royce’s Trent 900
The estimated efflux data are presented at ISA+15 ˚C (30 ˚C), Sea Level Static and negligible
wind conditions.
The analysis assumes that the core and bypass streams are fully mixed and calculates the jet
behaviour in free, still air, and therefore does not take into account effects such as on-wing
installation, ground entrainment and ambient wind conditions.
Velocity contours are presented at 50 ft/s (15 m/s), 100 ft/s (30 m/s) and 150 ft/s (46 m/s),
while temperature contours are presented at 104 ˚F (40 ˚C), 122 ˚F (50 ˚C) and 140 ˚F (60
˚C).
B. Data from Engine Alliance’s GP7200
The estimated efflux data are presented at ISA+15 ˚C (30 ˚C), Sea Level Static with 20-knot
headwind. It also assumed ground plane and proximity effects.
Velocity contours are presented at 35 MPH (15 m/s), 65 MPH (30 m/s) and 105 MPH (46
m/s), while temperature contours are presented at 122 ˚F (50 ˚C), 212 ˚F (100 ˚C) and 392
˚F (200 ˚C).
Engine Alliance strongly recommends that jet blast studies using their contours include the
effect of a 20-knot headwind.
2. Danger Areas of the Engines
The intake suction danger areas, which are plotted in this chapter, correspond to very low suction
velocities in order to prevent very low density objects (hat, handkerchief) from ingestion by engines.
The primary aim of those danger areas is to protect the people working around the engines.
Page 1
2-11 Oct 01/09
@A380
Regarding the risk of ingesting typical loose objects, which can be found on ground at the edge of
runways/taxiways paved areas (loose gravels for example), it was demonstrated that the A380 outer
engines are high enough above ground so that the risk og ingestion is remote in the following
conditions:
- at usual taxiway thrust (i.e. up to the breakaway power setting), even if the loose objects are
below the A380 outer engines.
- at usual take-off thrust (i.e. up to the maximum take-off power setting), if the loose objects are
beyond 3 meters from the A380 outer engines centreline.

LINE MAINTENANCE AND HANGAR

Airplane Maintenance Jacking
1. Aircraft Jacking Points for Maintenance
A. General
(1) The A380 aircraft can be jacked :
- at not more than the maximum permitted aircraft weight for jacking,
- within the limits of the permissible wind speed when the aircraft is jacked outside a
closed environment.
B. Primary jacking Points
(1) The aircraft are provided with three primary jacking points :
- one located under the forward fuselage,
- two located under the wings (one under each wing).
(2) Three jack adapters (ground equipment) are used as intermediary parts between the
aircraft jacking points and the jacks :
- one male spherical jack adapter at the forward fuselage,
- two female jack pad adapters at the wings (one at each wing).
C. Auxiliary stabilizing Point (Safety point)
(1) When the aircraft is on jacks, a safety stay is installed under the aft fuselage (Ref. Fig.
Jacking point location) to prevent tail tipping caused by accidental displacement of the
aircraft center of gravity.
(2) The safety point must not be used for lifting the aircraft.
(3) One male spherical stay adapter (ground equipment) is used as intermediary part between
the aircraft safety point and the stay.
2. Jacks and Safety Stay
A. Jacks Specifications
The Maximum Eligible Static Load (Ref. Fig. Jacking Point Location) given in graph are the
maximum loads applicable on jack fittings.
(1) In fully retracted position (jack stroke at minimum), the height of the jacks is such that
they may be placed beneath the airplane under the most adverse conditions, namely, tires
deflated and chock absorbers depressurized and, in addition, with a sufficient clearance
between the aircraft jacking point and the jack upper end.
Page 1
3-1 Oct 01/09
@A380
(2) The jacks stroke enables the aircraft to be jacked up so that the Fuselage Datum Line
(FDL) may be positioned up to 7300 mm (23.95 ft) from the ground to allow all required
maintenance procedure and in particular, the Landing Gear shock absorbers
removal/installation.
B. Safety stay
(1) The stay stroke enables the aircraft tail to be supported up to the Fuselage Datum Line
(FDL) positioned at 7300 mm (23.95 ft) from the ground.

Landing Gear Jacking for Wheel Change
1. To replace a wheel or wheel brake assembly on any of the landing gears it is necessary to lift the
landing gear with a jack. The landing gear can be lifted by a pillar jack or with a cantilever jack.
A. Nose Landing Gear (NLG)
The nose gear can be lifted with a pillar jack or a cantilever jack. The NLG has a dome shaped
jacking adaptor at the base of the shock absorber strut. The adapter is 31.75 mm (1.25 in) in
diameter.
Important dimensions of the NLG when lifted are shown in Fig. 001.
The reaction loads at the jacking positions for the A380-800 are shown in Figs. 004 to 009.
NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give a 25.5 mm (1 in)
clearance between the ground and the tire.
B. Wing Landing Gear (WLG)
An adapter at the front and rear of each bogie is fitted to make sure that the jack is located
correctly. The adapter is 31.75 mm (1.25 in) in diameter. The wheels and brake units can be
replaced on the end of the bogie beam that is lifted.
The forward and aft ends of the bogie can be lifted at the same time. When lifting both ends at
the same time the bogie beam must always be kept level to prevent damage.
If a WLG has all four tires deflated or shredded, replace the wheel assemblies in this sequence :
(1) Replace the wheel assemblies on the aft axle.
(2) Replace the wheel assemblies on the forward axle.
Important dimensions of the WLG when lifted are shown in Fig. 002.
The reaction loads at the jacking position for the A380-800 are shown in Figs. 004 to 009.
C. Body Landing Gear (BLG)
An adapter at the front and at the rear of each bogie is fitted to make sure that the jack is
located correctly. The adapter is 31.75 mm (1.25 in) in diameter. Both wheels and brake units
can be replaced on the end of the bogie beam that is lifted.
For a center wheel change only, the forward and aft ends of the bogie can be lifted at the same
time. When lifting both ends at the same time the bogie beam must always be kept level to
prevent damage.
If a BLG has all six tires deflated or shredded, replace the wheel assemblies in this sequence :
(1) Replace the wheel assemblies on the aft axle.
(2) Replace the wheel assemblies on the center axle.

Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment
1. Quick Leveling
There are three alternative procedures to level the aircraft:
- Quick leveling procedure with Air Data / Inertial Reference System (ADIRS).
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the upper or main deck passenger compartment.
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the FWD cargo compartment.
2. Precise Leveling
For precise leveling, it is necessary to install sighting rods in the receptacles located under the
fuselage (points 11 and 16 for longitudinal leveling) and under the wings (points 1R and 1L for lateral
leveling) and use a sighting tube. With the aircraft on jacks, adjust the jacks until the reference
marks on the sighting rods are aligned in the sighting plane (aircraft level).
3. Symmetry and Alignment Check
Possible deformation of the aircraft is measured by photogrametry.

De-icing and Washing
1. De-Icing and Washing on Ground
The mobile equipment for aircraft de-icing and washing must be capable of reaching heights up to
approximately 25 meters (82 ft). For use on the ramp, it must have a de-icing liquid storage tank
with means for heating the liquid to the required temperature. Inside the hangar, the same mobile
unit or fixed equipment may be used. Impingement pressure of the de-icing or washing liquid is about
5 psi (0.35 bar) except for wing root fillet and various other fairings where it will be 1.5 psi (0.10
bar).
At major airports, a substantial saving in manpower and aircraft time can be achieved if a de-
icing/washing hangar, especially one with a mechanized and automated facility, is provided for use by
all airlines.

Air Conditioning
1. Air conditioning
The air conditioning system controls the airflow in the cockpit, the two cabin decks and the lower
deck cargo compartments. The air conditioning system keeps the air in the pressurized fuselage
compartments at the correct pressure, temperature and freshness.
The bleed air system supplies compressed air to the air conditioning system from:
- the main engine compressor,
- the APU compressor,
- three high pressure ground connections
The air conditioning system cools and conditions the hot compressed air. Then it sends the air to the
fuselage compartments. From there, the hot air flows through ducts and goes overboard through a
valve.
Four low-pressure ground connections can also supply the conditioned air to the distribution system.
In a double failure case during flight operations, two emergency ram air inlets open automatically and
supply the distribution system with air from outside.
The conditioned air is supplied to the cabin and the cockpit. The cockpit and the cabin zones have
an independent temperature control. The temperature of the cabin zones and the cockpit are
normally controlled to between 18˚C and 30˚C (65˚ and 86˚F). An automatic control keeps the air
temperature at the selected value in each cabin zone and in the cockpit.
2. Pressurization
The Cabin Pressure Control System (CPCS) controls the pressure in the fuselage during flight and
ground operations.
The CPCS controls the rate of change of the cabin pressure and the cabin differential pressure.
It gives the best possible comfort and safety for the passengers and the crew.
The operation of the CPCS is fully automatic under all operating conditions.
3. Ventilation
A. Unpressurized Compartment Ventilation System
The function of the unpressurized compartments ventilation system is to supply air to the
unpressurized compartments ventilation in the belly fairing.
The unpressurized compartments have two main zones:
- Zone A is in the forward belly fairing and includes the Air Generation Units (AGU) 1 and 2
and the hot air ducts.
Page 1
3-5 Oct 01/09
@A380
- Zone B is under the wing center box, in the belly fairing. The unpressurized compartments
ventilation system supplies a correct quantity of ventilation air on each zone (A and B), to
remove heat from the AGUs and fuel vapors. It also keeps, on the ground or in flight, a
mean temperature of 80˚C in the unpressurized compartment with an external temperature
of 55˚C. This temperature is compatible with the structure constraints in the unpressurized
compartments. The unpressurized compartments ventilation-system operates without aircraft
electrical power.
B. Avionics Equipment Ventilation System
The avionics equipment ventilation system supplies cooling to the components with airflow
through the racks in the compartment. The supplemental cooling system supplies cooled air to
the compartment. An extraction fan moves the hot air to the under floor area and later
overboard through the outflow valve.

electrical configuration).
An APU network, supplied by busbar 200XP4. This network has a TR, a battery and the related
contactors and protection devices. The APU network is used to start the APU.
2. AC Generation (Ref. Fig. 001)
A. Variable Frequency Generator (VFG)
Each of the four engines drives its related VFG through the accessory gearbox.
The VFG is an oil-cooled generator with a nominal 115V, 150KVA, three-phase, 370-770 Hz
output.
Each VFG has two pushbutton switches on ICP 1225VM (overhead panel), one for mechanical
disconnection of the VFG, the other for electrical connection and disconnection of the VFG.
The Generator and Ground Power Control Unit (CCPCU) 1(2,3,4) control and monitor the VFG
1(2,3,4).
Page 1
3-7 Oct 01/09
@A380
B. APU Generator
The APU drives two APU generators at a constant frequency. The APU generator is an oil-
cooled generator with a nominal output of 115V, 120KVA, three-phase, 400Hz. Each APU
generator has a pushbutton switch on the overhead panel for electrical connection and
disconnection.
C. External power
The external power supply is the AC power source used on the ground when the VFGs and the
APU generators are not available. Four external power receptacles are used to supply power to
the aircraft network.
Each external power receptacle supplies 90KVA with a constant frequency of 400Hz.
The GGPCU 1(2,3,4) controls and monitors the external power unit 1(2,3,4) that is connected
to the receptacles.
D. Electrical RAT
The electrical RAT supplies electrical power if the main power source is unserviceable. It drives
an AC emergency generator at a variable frequency. The generator is an air-cooled generator
with a nominal 115V, 70KVA, three-phase, 360-800 Hz output.
The generator is mechanically connected to the RAT. A Generator Control Unit (GCU) controls
and monitors the RAT. The RAT extends automatically but it is possible to control the RAT
manually by means of a pushbutton switch on the overhead panel.
E. Transfer circuit
The transfer circuit reconfigures the electrical network to keep the busbars supplied according to
the availability of the power sources. The primary main distribution reconfigures the network if
there is connection and disconnection of the AC main power source.
The transfer contactors close to obey the priority and segregation rules. If two VFGs of a same
side are not available (without external power supply or APU supply) :
- The outer serviceable VFG supplies the busbar of the outer unserviceable VFG.

3-8 Flight Controls

Flight Controls
1. There are two types of flight controls :
- the Primary controls
- the Secondary controls.
A. Primary Controls
(1) The roll control is achieved on each wing by the inner and outer aileron complemented
with six spoilers.
(2) The yaw control is achieved by a rudder attached to the vertical stabilizer with a hinge.
(3) The pitch control is achieved by two elevators attached to the Trimmable Horizontal
Stabilizer (THS) (trim function) with hinges.
B. Secondary Controls
The lift augmenting is achieved by the surfaces on each wing as follows :
- two trailing edge flaps
- seven leading edge slats
- two ailerons which droop when the flaps are extended.
2. Operation
A. Roll Control
Hydraulic servo controls, which receive electrical signals and are independently supplied, operate
the spoilers and ailerons.
Two servo controls are on each aileron and one on each spoiler. Signals by the side stick
controllers are analyzed by the electrical control computers which give the calculated control
surface position.
B. Yaw Controls
The rudder is operated by three independently supplied hydraulic servo-controls. The servo-
controls receive signals through interconnected pedals by a single cable. The single cable runs up
to a spring-loaded artificial feed unit. Yaw trim is signalled from a switch located on the center
pedestal and analyzed by the flight augmentation computers which control the rudder trim
actuator.
C. Pitch Control
The two elevators are operated by independent hydraulic servo controls. The servo controls are
operated hydraulically and controlled electrically with hydraulic pressure. Two servo controls are
installed on each elevator.
Pitch trim is provided by adjustment of the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS). Control of
the THS position can be achieved automatically in the normal (electrical) operating mode, via
the elevator and the Aileron computer, or mechanically by operation of the interconnected
handwheels located on the center pedestal.
Page 1
3-8 Oct 01/09
@A380
D. Lift Augmentation
Each trailing edge flap moves by means of the carriages. The flaps are actuated by a power
control unit which has two hydraulic motors that drive the rotary actuator by means of a
transmission shaft.
Each leading edge slat moves by means of the tracks. The slats are actuated by a power control
unit which has two hydraulic motors. The two hydraulic motors drive the rotary actuator by
means of a transmission shaft.

3-9 Hydraulic Power

Hydraulic Power
1. General
The hydraulic power system supplies the applicable hydraulic flow and pressure to the consumers.
It supplies hydraulic fluid to the consumers in normal operation and for ground maintenance when
the engines are not in operation. The indicating system monitors the system continuously. It gives
warning and cautions, and shows messages as applicable.
Two hydraulic power systems operate independently :
- The Green system
- The Yellow system.
NOTE : There is no Blue system.

The primary flight controls of the aircraft are supplied through :
- The hydraulic system that operates the servo-controls,
- The electrical system that supplies the Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators (EHA) and the Electrical
Back-up Hydraulic Actuators (EBHA).
2. Generation
In normal operation, the engine hydraulic pumps get the hydraulic fluid from the applicable reservoir
by suction. Then, the hydraulic pumps supply the fluid to the consumers at a nominal pressure of 345
bar (5000 psi). The consumers receive the fluid flow and pressure that is necessary for their
operation.
The fluid is depressurized through the consumers and goes back to the applicable reservoir at a
pressure of 70 bar (1015 psi). The electrical motor pumps supply the hydraulic power for ground
maintenance operations only.
The main consumers are :
- The flight control system
- The landing gear system

4. Particulars
A. Engine Driven Pump :
- Eight Engine Driven Pumps to provide main hydaulic power. Two EDP are fixed to the
accessory gearbox on the bottom of each gearbox. Each EDP supplies fluid to the system at
a nominal pressure of 345 bars (5004 psi) with 0 flow, and a flow of 160 l/mn at a pressure
of 330 bars.
- The nominal EDP speed for RR engine at take-off is 3775 rpm (max = 3841 rpm). During
the flight, descent, approach, the minimum speed can reach 2204 rpm.
- The Maximum EDP speed for EA engine at take-off is 4070 rpm. During the flight, descent,
approach, the minimum speed can reach 2205 rpm.
- A clutch which is integrated into the EDP may disconnect in flight the EDP from the
engine. This function is controlled by the crew, or may be used on ground by maintenance
crew for dispatch purpose (MMEL).
B. Electric Motor Pump :
- Four Electric Motor Pumps (EMP) to supply auxiliary hydraulic power only on ground. The
electrical motor is a three phase AC induction motor (dual winding stator) using the A/C
115 volts, 400 Hz electrical power supply. The electrical motor turns at 7580 rpm. A
hydraulic pump is fixed to the electrical motor through a shaft. This hydraulic pump is a
variable displacement pump with 9 pistons and supplies fluid to the system at a nominal
pressure of 345 bars (5004 psi) with 0 flow, a flow of 22.5 l/mn at 330 bars, and a flow of

3-10 Landing Gear

Landing Gear
1. The aircraft has:
- two Wing Landing Gears (WLG) and related doors
- two Body Landing Gears (BLG) and related doors
- a Nose Landing Gear (NLG) and related doors.
The Landing Gear (L/G) System includes:
- a number of control devices in the cockpit
- a number of computers in the avionics compartment
- a number of L/Gs and their related doors
- an extension and retraction system for the gears and doors
- a system of brakes and related systems
- a tire pressure indicating system
- an oleo pressure monitoring system
- a steering system.
The control devices in the cockpit let the flight crew make the necessary inputs to the computers.
These inputs tell the computers how to control the L/G functions that follow :
- extension and retraction
- braking
- steering.
The landing gears support the aircraft on the ground and include oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers
that absorb taxi, take-off and landing loads. During flight the L/Gs are retracted into bays.
Mechanically and hydraulically operated doors close to make the aerodynamic contours of the
fuselage when the L/G retracts. The hydraulically operated doors also close after the L/G is extended.
The extension and retraction system extends and retracts the L/G. A normal extension and retraction
system is usually used for this function. If the normal extension and retraction system is not available,
an emergency (free fall) extension system lets each L/G extend.
2. Nose Gear and Doors (Fig. 001 and 002)
The nose landing gear (NLG) includes a single-stage direct acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorber and
retracts forward into a bay in the fuselage. A two-piece drag-stay assembly with a lock-stay,
mechanically locks the leg in the extended position. The leg includes a hydraulically operated steering
mechanism.
Four doors close the NLG bay. These are:
- two hydraulically operated forward doors
- two mechanically operated rear doors.
An electrically operated ground door opening mechanism (for maintenance personnel) lets the forward
doors be opened for access to the NLG bay when the aircraft is on the ground.
3. Wing Gear and Doors (Fig. 003 and 004)
Each wing landing gear has a leg assembly and a four-wheel bogie beam. The WLG leg includes a
bogie trim actuator (BTA) and an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber.
Page 1
3-10 Oct 01/09
@A380
The shock absorber is a single piece main cylinder with a sliding piston (slider) inside. Torque links
are attached on the rear of the leg between the shock absorber cylinder and the slider. The lower end
of the slider is in the shape of a fork to which the bogie beam is attached with a pivot-pin.
The BTA is mounted between the forward side of the slider and the bogie beam. The BTA keeps the
bogie beam in the correct position in relation to the slider when the weight is off the landing gear
during:
- take-off
- retraction
- and landing.
A two-piece side-stay assembly holds the WLG in the extended position. A lock-stay keeps the side-
stay assembly stable in the locked down position.
Four doors close each WLG bay. These are:
- a hydraulically-operated main door
- two mechanically-operated hinged doors
- a fixed fairing door attached to the WLG leg.
4. Body Landing Gear and Doors (Fig. 005 and 006)
The two body landing gears have a six-wheel bogie beam and a leg assembly that includes an oleo-
pneumatic shock absorber. The landing gear retracts aft into a bay in the fuselage. A two-piece drag-
stay assembly mechanically locks the leg in the extended position. A bogie-trim-actuator (BTA) keeps
the bogie beam in the correct position in relation to the slider when the weight is off the landing gear
during:
- take-off
- retraction
- and landing.
The aft axle of the bogie beam can be steered.
Four doors close the BLG bay. These are:
- three hydraulically-operated doors
- a driven fairing door attached to the inner door.
An electrically operated ground door opening mechanism open the door for maintenance access to the
BLG bay when the aircraft is on the ground.
5. Landing Gear Extension and Retraction Systems
Two independent systems can be used to extend the landing gear.
The Normal system is hydraulically operated and computer controlled. The hydraulic piping and
electrical harness runs are contained in a combination of rigid and flexible hoses/conduits. The
conduit routing gives protection from damage that runway debris and birdstrikes can cause. The
conduit routing also gives the maximum separation of the two systems.
The Emergency Extension System (Free Fall) This system will extend the wing, body and nose gears.
The system includes switches and electric actuators. When selected, the actuators operate to open
the gear and door up-locks and hydraulic valves. This lets gravity extend the gears.
The L/G control lever mechanism has a baulk device. This device is a solenoid-controlled valve that
prevents selection to the UP position until:
- the NLG, WLG and BLG shock absorbers are fully extended
Page 2
3-10 Oct 01/09
@A380
- the nose wheel steering is centered.

6. Steering
The Steering System is a computer controlled electro-hydraulic system used to change the direction
of the aircraft when it moves on the ground with engine power. The system uses nose wheel steering
(NWS) and body wheel steering (BWS).
Pressure for the hydraulic components in the system is supplied from the:
- Green Hydraulic Power system for the NWS
- Yellow Hydraulic System for the BWS.
The hydraulic components operate a steering mechanism which changes the direction of the NLG
wheels.
The core processing input/output module (CPIOM) is the computer that controls and monitors the
operation of the system. Two hand-wheel transmitters in the cockpit supply the primary steering
inputs to the CPIOM. The rudder pedals and the autopilot supply secondary steering inputs to the
CPIOM through the Flight Control Primary Computers (FCPC)
The system operation can be:
- cancelled to let the nose wheels castor during aircraft movement on the ground
- isolated from the rudder pedal inputs during the pre-flight check.
7. Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS)
The TPIS automatically monitors the tire pressures and shows these values on Test Equipment
(BITE) and also supplies other data and warnings on the WHEEL page of the Systems Display (SD).
The TPIS includes Built In Test Equipment.
8. Built In Test Equipment (BITE)
The BITE has these functions, it:
- continuously monitors its system for failures
- sends failure data (maintenance and warnings) to other systems in the aircraft
- keeps a record of the failures
- automatically does specified tests of the system, or part of the system, at specified times
- lets specified tests be done during maintenance procedures.
The BITE for the following systems is described in these chapters:
- the Brakes and Steering,
- the TPIS,
- the Landing Gear.

- Airspeed
- Attitude
- Landing System deviations upon crew selection.
A standby magnetic compass shall be installed in a position visible to both pilots.
2. Landing and Taxiing aids
A. Two Multi-Mode Receivers (MMR)
The primary function of the MMR is to process signals received from the Localizer, the GLIDE
and the Global Positioning System antennas. The MMR includes two main functions :
- ILS function
The ILS provides the crew and airborne system users with the aircraft position during the
landing phase with respect to a predetermined descent path.
- GPS function
The GPS is a radio aid to worldwide navigation, which provides the crew and the airborne
system user (FMGEC) with a readout of accurate navigation information.
- FLS function
The FLS function enables the pilot to fly the current published non precision approaches
(RNAV, VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, NDB/DME, GPS) in a way similar to precision
approaches.
3. Independent Position Determining
A. Aircraft Environment Surveillance System (AESS)
Three distinct systems of the AESS :
Page 1
3-12 Oct 01/09
@A380
- Two weather radar system. This system enables detection and localization of the
atmospheric disturbances in the area defined by the antenna scanning and displays them on
the Navigation-Display (ND) with different colors according to the level of disturbance.
- One Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). This system enables detection and display
of aircraft in the immediate vicinity and gives corrective vertical deviation in case of collision
threat.
- GPWS system One Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (Enhanced GPWS). This
system provides the flight crew with visual and aural alerts when potentially hazardous
conditions are met with the terrain.
B. Two radio altimeters
This system provides, below 2500 feet, the crew and the airborne system users with the radio
height data, which is the main landing gear wheels height above the ground. Radio altimeter
information is displayed on the PFDs.
4. Dependent Position Determining
A. Two Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) systems
This system provides the crew and the airborne user systems with a digital readout of the slant
range distance of the aircraft from a selected ground station with audio and possible digital
identification of the selected ground station.
B. Two Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems
This system gives aircraft identification to the ground and other aircraft and enables effective
ground surveillance of the air traffic.
C. One Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) system
This system provides an indication of the relative bearing of the aircraft to a selected ground
station with aural identification of the ground station and decoding of the Morse identification.
D. Two VOR/MARKER systems
This system comprises two independent systems :
(1) VOR system for the radio navigation.
This system provides the crew with aircraft position with respect to the ground station and
aircraft angular deviation from the selected course.
(2) MARKER (MKR) system for the landing approach phase.
This system determines the distance between the aircraft and the runway and provides
aural and visual indications of the passage of the aircraft over the marker transmitter
located on the runway.

Auxiliary Power Unit
1. Description
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) PW980 is a twin-spool gas turbine engine used to provide auxiliary
electrical and pneumatic power to the aircraft. The APU supplies bleed air power to the aircraft for
the Environmental Control System (ECS) and for Main Engine Starting (MES), and it also supplies
electrical power for the Electrical System through two A/C generators. The APU is a self-contained
unit which makes the aircraft independent of external pneumatic or electrical power supply, mainly
for on ground use. Anyway, during the take-off the APU supplies bleed air to the ECS (thus avoiding
a reduction in engine thrust) and in flight it backs up both electrical and air conditioning systems.
The APU obtains power for self-starting from the aircraft batteries, or in combination with the
external power, ground service, or normal aircraft supply. l
The APU system has four different subsystems:
- the APU engine system,
- the APU fuel system,
- the APU oil system,
- the APU air system.
The APU Engine architecture splits in five sections:
- the load gearbox section,
- the load compressor section,
- the accessory gearbox section,
- the engine section,
- the exhaust section.
2. Installation
- The APU is installed in the tail cone, at the rear part of the fuselage (section 19.1), inside a
fireproof compartment (between frames 112 and 117).
- The Air Intake System is located on top of the APU and crosses the space between the APU
plenum chamber and the aircraft outside (upper right side position). The Air Intake Housing is
located between frames 111 and 113, and the Air Intake Duct is located in the space between
frames 113 and 115.
- The Exhaust Muffler is located at the end of the tail cone, aligned with the APU, and crosses
three different zones, from frame 116 to the rear fairing.
- The Electronic Control Box (ECB) is installed in an electronic cooled rack, closed to frame 95,
within the pressurized fuselage.

3-13 Oct 01/09
@A380
3. APU PW980
The APU PW980 is a double-shaft gas generator. Air from outside the aircraft enters through the air
intake to the APU inlet, where it is delivered to both the engine and load compressor. The engine
compressor (High Pressure Compressor) compresses the air and delivers it to the reverse-flow
combustor chamber where fuel is added and burned. The high pressure/high temperature gas expands
through the engine turbine (High Pressure Turbine) providing the energy to drive the engine
compressor and the Accessory Gearbox (AGB). The gas further expands through the power turbine,
which provides the energy to drive the load compressor and the electrical generators through the
Load Gearbox (LGB). The low energy gas expands through the exhaust diffuser from where it is
delivered to the aircraft mounted exhaust muffler. The power spool and the gas generator spool
rotate about a common axis.
4. Control Circuit
The Elecronic Control Box (ECB) initiates and automatically executes an APU start sequence upon
receipt of a start command from the aircraft flight deck. The ECB continually monitors APU
operation in order to maintain optimal performance. It also provides automatic fault shutdowns.
5. Controls and Indication
Primary APU controls and indications are installed in the cockpit, mainly in the overhead panel,
center pedestal panel and forward center panel. Additionally, two external emergency shutoff controls
are installed on the Nose Landing Gear panel and on the Refuel/Defuel panel.

Landing Gear Maintenance Pits
1. General
The maintenance pit envelopes for the landing gear shock absorber maintenance are shown in Figs.
001 thru 004. The three envelopes show the minimum dimensions for these maintenance operations :
- extension and retraction
- gear removal
- piston removal.
All dimensions shown are minimum dimensions with zero clearances. The dimensions for the pits have
been determined as follows :
- The length and width of the pits allow the gear to rotate as the weight is taken off the landing
gear.
- The landing gear is in the max. grown condition.
- The WLG and BLG bogie beams are removed before the piston is removed.
- The NLG wheels are removed before the piston is removed.
- All pistons are removed vertically.
Dimensions for elevators and associated mechanisms must be added to those in Figs 001 thru 003.
A. Elevators
These can be either mechanical or hydraulic. They are used to :
(1) Permit easy movement of persons and equipment around the landing gears.
(2) To lift remove landing gear assemblies out of the pits.
B. Jacking
The airplane must be in position over the pits to put the gear on the elevators. Jacks must be
installed and engaged with all the jacking points, Ref. Section 3-1 for airplane maintenance
jacking. Jacks must support the total airplane weight, i.e. when the landing gears do not touch
the elevators on retraction/extension tests.
When tripod support jacks are used the tripod-base circle radius must be limited because the
locations required for positioning the columns are close to the sides of the pits.

Suggested Workstands
1. General
The essential aspects that affect a decision to build a fixed dock or a movable dock are :
- the fleet size of one type of aircraft,
- the different types of aircraft in operation which demand the same hangar facilities,
- the hangar facilities must comply for both light maintenance or major maintenance.
It would appear logical to build a fixed dock facility where the fleet size of one type of aircraft
provides for an adequate workload. This therefore implies that the fixed dock is in use most of the
time.
When the fleet size is small or adaptability is required, movable workstands are more economic and
proficient. Movable workstands are a facility that can be used for different types of aircraft.
Illustrations which show the movable workstands have been incorporated to help develop base
facilities.

Electrical Wire Marking Shop
1. General
Dedicated to mark the electrical wires used for electrical harnesses repair.
The wires authorized for use on Airbus aircraft are those listed in AWM/AWL Chapter 20-41. In
general Airbus have nickel plated cores and American spec. wires have tin plated cores. We do not
use extruded x- linked Tefzel insulation (e.g. Raychem 55) for Airbus general airframe wires (except
in specific areas like the U/C).
- U.V. laser machine
or
- Co2 laser machine
NOTE : ink-jet system is not generally used for Airbus aircraft.

Airbus wire are marked with either UV laser or CO2 laser technology depending on the origin of the
harness but CO2 may be phased out in the future with all wires being marked with UV laser. It would
appear that UV laser technology is being accepted as the industry standard internationally.
CO2 markable wire cannot be UV laser marked and vice versa.

be done manually: hot water high pressure washing device, combined with semi-automatic devices:
solvent baths including treatment bath + rinsing bath + drying bath or with a ″tunnel″ type
machine. Cleaning of small parts like bearings or bolts can be done using an ultrasonic washing
module or a vertical agitation and total turbulence machine.
″Clean″ procedures for wheels start NDT for crack detection. Eddy Current and ultrasonic testing
devices can be used for this purpose.
NOTE : Complete process of wheel cleaning may include paint stripping which can be done using
media plastic blasting equipment or solvent baths.

3. Brake shop
″Dirty″ work on brake overhaul includes disassembly and cleaning of the brake. An intensive cleaning
is necessary to avoid damages of the piston bearing, as the remaining dirt can create a leak when the
pistons are repressed.
″Clean″ procedures follow after the brakes has been visually inspected. Cleaning can be done using
ultrasonic bath or vertical agitation and total turbulence machine.
The brake pistons are returned to their original position. When it has been accomplished, test for leak
are performed.
A. Standard equipment
(1) Bath solvent cleaning
(2) Trolley crane
(3) Hydraulic test bench (315 bars)
(4) Dummy body for functioning test

Subcontracted to specialized repair centre
B. Specific tools
According to the relevant CMM.
4. Storage
Aircraft tire storage conditions are determined by the tire manufacturers. There is no Airbus
document dealing with this subject.
Tires should be stored in a cool, dry environment and protected from direct sunlight. Particular care
should be taken to store tires away from fluorescent lights, electrical motor, battery chargers, electric
welding equipment, electric generator since they all create ozone which cause a rapid ageing of
rubber.
The store room temperature should be comprised between 0 and 40˚C. Tires should be store
vertically in a suitable rack, away from oil, grease, hydraulic fluid or other contaminants.
