Manufacturing and Assembly

Airbus manufacturing manages the production of Airbus aircraft which takes place
at the different sites in Europe.
Manufacturing is a trans-national process, structured around key manufacturing
units, each of which is responsible for producing a complete section of the aircraft
for delivery to the final assembly lines.
Fully equipped aircraft sections are air-lifted by the Airbus Super Transporter
A300-600ST to the final assembly lines. The A320 are assembled in Toulouse,
France while the A318, A319 and A321 are assembled in Hamburg, Germany.

fore prior to starting an inspection consult the crew and ascertain details of:
• Weather conditions
• Aircraft speed and flight attitude
• Aircraft weight and fuel distribution
• In landing mode, if touchdown was straight, drifting, wing low, nose high or low
• If any noise of impact or indicative of structure or component failure was heard
• Relevant instrument indications
Printout of the maintenance data recorder tape will provide valuable additional
data and indication of system malfunction.
Inspection Sequence
To permit simultaneous inspection of several areas of the aircraft the inspection
has been divided into a number of “Packages”.
For example: “Inspection after Hail Impact” requires on Phase 1 a complete air-
frame external check. Therefore this is divided into four major zones: fuselage,
wings, nacelles/pylons and stabilizers. These major zones are further divided into
smaller zones or major components.
The small zones are then broken down into items, which can be individually signed
off as inspection is completed.
The inspections are divided into three phases:
Phase 1: is a general inspection for primary damage and indication of remote
damage and is mainly external.

2. Do an internal inspection. Make sure that: X
– there is no distortion on the pylon main frame and the spars connected to the side panels are in the
correct condition,
– examine the attachment between main ribs (1, 3, 4 and 10), the side panels, the upper and lower
spars,
– examine the fire protection system especially extinguishing containers attachments, examine the elec-
trical cables, the hydraulic pipes, the fuel pipes and the components of the engine air-bleed system,
examine the different components installed on the main frame.
If you find damage:
Do the inspection of the engine-to-pylon and the pylon-to-wing attachments.

cedure are applicable to a parked or towed aircraft.
The same procedure is applicable in all the above configurations.
With the stability graphs (A/C on wheels) in this procedure, you can do a check of
shifting or tipping stability limits. Do this if it is necessary to know only one such
limit (towing, for example).
Example
You can also calculate the ballast necessary for aircraft stability in unfavourable
conditions in the configurations that follow: The following diagram related to aircraft on wheels on dry ground is an example.
• aircraft with 2 engines Check the aircraft stability, aircraft with two engines installed:
• 1 or the 2 engines removed • without crew
• engine re-installation. • without galleys
• without pallets and containers.
Aircraft Maintenance Configuration For example, make a plot of point A on the chart from these coordinates:
Make sure that the flaps, the slats, the spoilers, the speed brakes and the thrust • Weight: 46600 kg (102735.3852 lb)
reversers are retracted.
• CG: 24%.
Make sure that the THS is set to neutral.
In these conditions, the aircraft will be safe in winds up to
Procedure 55 kts (102 km/h).
If necessary, install the ballast: Check the aircraft stability after removal of two engines.
• in the forward compartment 1. From point A, make a horizontal line: this cuts across the weight axis at point B.
• at the pax/crew door No 1. 2. From this point B, subtract the weight of the two removed engines 7000 kg
(15432.3540 lb) approx. to get point B'.
You can also refuel two wing tanks to put the aircraft back into balance. In this

engine” scale at point C.
Before you put ballast on the aircraft, make sure that you obey the limits. 4. Make a line across two divisions on this scale (1 division for each engine) to
get point C'.
– maximum weight of section 11 5. From point C', make a vertical line and from point B', make a horizontal line:
– maximum loads on cabin floor these two lines cut at point D. For this point, the diagram gives these values:
– maximum load on jacking points. – Aircraft weight: 39600 kg (87303.0312 lb)
– CG: 35.5%

05-57-2
– permitted wind: 35 kts (65 km/h).

Check the aircraft stability during engine installation with a hydraulic lift.
For this example, we calculate that the hydraulic lift puts a 800 kg (1763.6976 lb)
contact force on the pylon.
6. Continue vertical line DC' until it cuts across the “contact force” scale to get
point E.
7. From this point, make a line across one division (0.8 ton/division) to get point
E'.
8. From this point E', make a vertical line until it cuts across the horizontal line DB'
to get point F.
9. The diagram shows that in these conditions, engine installation is possible in
the open air in winds of less than 35 kts (65 km/h).
Calculate the quantity of ballast necessary for engine installation.
The engines are installed in the open air with a maximum windspeed of 45 kts (83
km/h).
If necessary, install the ballast in the forward cargo-compartment at position 11.
10.Continue line B'F until it cuts across the 45 kts (83 km/h) average windspeed
line at point H.
11.Continue vertical line FE' until it cuts across the “ballast on section 11” scale at
point G.
12.From point G, make a horizontal line which cuts across the vertical line from H
at point J.
13.Count the number of divisions on the scale between point G and J (in the ex-
ample, 2.3 divisions).
The weight of ballast necessary is thus:
2.3 x 500 kg (1102.3110 lb) = 1150 kg (2535.3153 lb)
In the example given, use the same procedure to calculate the quantity of ballast
necessary at cabin door No 1:
1.6 x 500 kg (1102.3110 lb) = 800 kg (1763.6976 lb)
As the ballast only increases the aircraft weight by a small quantity, this is
ignored.

Non-Revenue Flight
Requirements Following Maintenance Actions
General
Non-revenue flight following maintenance actions are not required by AIRBUS ex-
cept for actions involving items that cannot be properly ground tested to verify that
the aircraft's operational characteristics have not been adversly affected. Service
experience has shown that a non-revenue flight is good practice following actions
or repairs which could affect the aircraft's inherent aerodynamic characteristics.
Operators Regulatory Authority may require non-revenue flights following
certain maintenance actions.
Engine Replacement
Replacement or reinstallation of both engines does not require a non-revenue
flight providing the engines have been successfully shop tested prior to installa-
tion, properly installed and successfully ground tested in accordance with all ap-
plicable maintenance instructions. However, owing to the number of different
interfaces concerned, AIRBUS recommends that a non-revenue flight be carried
out after changing or installing both engines to check that no double maintenance
induced faults have been introduced.

Coordinate System
For measurements and location of components within the fuselage of the A 320
Family a metrical coordination system is in use. It exists of three datum lines:
• ”X” means length distances from ” X 0 ” also called .STA ” 0 ”.

It defines fore and aft distances from any point (STA) to
STA ” 0 ”. STA 0 is 2540 mm before the radome
• ”Y” means lateral distances from any point to aircraft center line
” Y 0 ” is a vertical plane over the center line
” + Y ” is a plane left hand from ” Y 0 ” in flight direction
” – Y ” is a plane right hand from ” Y 0 ” in flight direction
• ”Z” means a horizontal distance from any point to the aircraft center line
” Z 0 ” is a horizontal plane over the center line
” + Z ” is a plane above the center line
” – Z ” is a plane below the center line

Structural Zoning and Breakdown of the A318

The major A318 reference axes are the same as the current aircraft of the A320
family. The station (STA) number is the distance in centimeters of the cross sec-
tion from a reference point. The reference (X=0) for all structural measurements
in the X-axis is located 2.54 m (100 in) forward of the aircraft.
The A318 is 6.11 m shorter than the A320. It has 11.5 frames less than the A320.
Therefore the A318 fuselage station numbers have changed from the FR27.

The STAtion number is the distance in centimeters of a cross-section from a ref-
erence point. The station/frame numbers shown agree with the section bounda-

Jacking the A320
You must lift the aircraft at three points on the structure with three hydraulic jacks.
One point is under the forward fuselage at FR9. The two other points are under
the wings at the Ribs 9. When the aircraft is on the jacks, put a safety stay between
FR73 and 74. This prevents any accidental movement of the aircraft. You must not
use the safety stay to lift the aircraft. You can lift the aircraft with jacks when the
tires and the shock absorbers are deflated. You can lift the aircraft at the forward
jacking point only, with the wheels of the main landing gear on the ground, make
sure parking brake is released.
• Before you lift the aircraft with jacks make sure that the weight of fuel is applied
equally on the two sides of the aircraft centerline.
• Make sure that the aircraft is stable before you lift it with jacks.
• You must not lift the aircraft with the safety stay.
• Before you lift or you lower the aircraft make sure that there is no equipment
adjacent to it (that can cause damage).
• Make sure that no other work is being done.
• Remove the safety jack before doing landing gear retraction tests.
• If aircraft is powered while jacked, carry out task:
Flight configuration precautions with electrical power, (32-00-00 - 860-001)
and

Aircraft Weights
Weighing of Aircraft
Aircraft operated under part 125 are required to be weighed at least once every
36-calendar months. Both the operator/applicant’s OpSpecs and manual must re-
flect this requirement.
Use of Fleet Weights

A fleet generally is considered to be three or more aircraft of the same model and
configuration. This allows realistic averages to be determined.
1. Aircraft operating under fleet weights must be weighed in accordance with the
operator/applicant’s instructions. The operating weights and center of gravity
position must be within established limits. The use of fleet weights is authorized
by OpSpecs.
2. An operator’s empty fleet weight is determined by averaging aircraft weights as
follows:
Fleet size weighing policy:
• 3 aircraft: Weigh all aircraft
• 4 to 9 aircraft: Weigh 3 aircraft plus at least 50 percent of the number over 3
• Over 9 aircraft: Weigh 6 aircraft plus at least 10 percent of the number over 9

Towing is an operation which consists In pushing or pulling an aircraft with a trac-
tor.
The tractor is connected to the aircraft by a towbar attached to a nose landing gear
fitting. On soft or muddy ground, the towing may be carried out using the main
landing gear attachment points.
The aircraft may be towed or pushed:
• at maximum ramp weight
• with engines shut down or running at idle.
During this operation, one person is required in the cockpit in order to operate the
brakes if necessary.
Two other people are required to monitor the wing tips to prevent collisions.
Precautions
Before starting the towing operations, several precautions must be taken:
• the engine cowls must be closed
• the dimension H, representing the shock absorber travel, must be no more
than 11.8 in (300 mm) so as not to damage the wheel centering cams used dur-
ing nose landing gear retraction.
• the wheels must be in the aircraft centerline.
• during towing operations, each person in the aircraft must be a seat with the
seat belt fastened.
• maximum speeds:
– doors closed or removed 25Km/H (towbar), 32Km/H (towbarless)
– doors fully open or cargo doors in vertical position 10Km/H
MAN Ref: TASK 09-10-00-584-001
The maximum authorized steering angle, on each side of the aircraft centerline, is
limited to 95°. In the engine running configuration this angle is only 40°, thus the
tractor is kept out of the engine inlet suction areas. Now that these precautions
have been taken, we shall have a look at the actual towing operation. Make sure
that the safety ground locks are installed on the main landing gear stays.
Check that the nose landing gear downlock safety pin is installed on the nose land-
ing gear. Check that the wheel chocks are in position.

Parking
Parking in normal and abnormal weather conditions
• Wheel chocks in front of and behind main and nose landing gear wheels.
• Parking brake ”ON”.
• Nose wheels should be in a straight line.
• Flaps, slats, spoilers, speed brakes and thrust reversers retracted.
• Stabilizer set to two degrees nose down.
• Cockpit windows closed.
• Doors closed.
• Protection covers installed in bad weather conditions.
• Landing gear doors closed.
• Landing gear ground safety locks installed during maintenance operations or
long parking periods.
• Water system depressurized. This prevents too much water in the toilet bowls
since the water valves can leak when the water pressure decreases.
• Shock absorber rebound can cause some movement in the wind.Equipment
should be removed from the aircraft to a position where it cannot damage the
aircraft.
• If high winds are anticipated, fuel the aircraft to 30% min of total capacity.
