The A318 is a twin-engined short/medium range aircraft. It is a member of the

A320 family.
GENERAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A320 FAMILY AND A318

The A318 is a reduced capacity variant of the A319. The major
changes of the A318 compared to the current A319 are:
- fuselage shrink by 4.5 frames (FR) (94 in or 2.38 m),
- width reduction of forward and aft cargo doors (from 71.5 in to 50.5
in),
- fin tip extension to cope with lateral stability,
- passenger capacity reduced to 107 seats in two-class seating.

STRUCTURE
Main structure differences between A319 and A318 are due to the reduced
length of the fuselage. There are several general structure changes. The main
differences are the laser beam welded structures and the vertical stabilizer fin
tip extension.
GENERAL STRUCTURE CHANGES

On section 17, due to reduced length of the fuselage, the longitudinal
beams, the seat rails and the Z-profiles are replaced by new ones. The
crossbeams at FR52, FR53 and FR54 are removed. New crossbeams
are installed between FR55 to FR64.
Due to its location in the non-cylindrical part of the fuselage, a new
cargo sill box replaces the A319 one, in section 17.
The A318 fuselage is 4.5 frames shorter than the A319. In section 13,
the FR28 is removed and the FR27 becomes the FR27/FR28. The
distance between the FR29 and the FR30 is reduced. On section 17,
the FR52, FR53 and FR54 are removed.
On section 15, the A319 skin panels have been modified. For weight
reduction the A318 skin panels are thinner than the A319's.
The aft part of the belly fairing is modified due to an overlap with
non-cylindrical part of fuselage. To avoid interference with cargo
compartment door, the A318 belly fairing is two panels shorter than
the A319's.

LASER BEAM WELDING
The technology used for the current a/c of the A320 family is riveted
skin/stringer. On the A318, the stringer/skin connections are welded.
The new laser beam welded skin panels are installed in:
- the sections 13/14, FR24 to FR35, stringers 18 to 32,
- the sections 16/17, FR47/54 to FR64, stringers 32 to 41.
The skin panels are made thicker where the stringers are welded to
them.

VERTICAL STABILIZER
Compared with the current aircraft of the A320 family, the A318
vertical stabilizer fin tip is longer by 750 mm.
The new developed tip is completely made of Glass Fiber Reinforced
Plastic (GFRP). There is an additional fin leading edge panel. There is
a new spar and a new Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP)
adaptor box, between the fin base and the fin tip.
The metallic rudder tip is longer by 100 mm in vertical direction. The
rudder trailing edge is increased in width by 50 mm.

STRUCTURAL BREAKDOWN AND ZONING
The major A318 reference axes are the same as the current aircraft of the A320
family.
FUSELAGE STATION NUMBERS

The station (STA) number is the distance in centimeters of the cross-
section 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.

CABIN COMPARTMENTS
The cabin can be equipped in different configurations. The three cabin
configurations are mixed class, all economy and high density The mixed class
cabin configuration accommodates a business class with four seats abreast and
a tourist class with six seats abreast. The all economy cabin configuration
accommodates only tourist class with six seats abreast. The high density cabin
configuration accommodates only tourist class with six seats abreast and a
decreased seat pitch.
The cabin attendant seats are attached to partitions or lavatory walls.
Depending on the cabin configuration, the number and the location of cabin
attendant seats can vary. The number and the location of the galleys and
lavatories changes with the cabin configuration. The classes and zones are
divided by floor mounted partitions and ceiling mounted curtains.
The cabin arrangement (number of seats, galleys, lavatories) is defined by the
customer and has an impact on the seat count.

CARGO DOORS
The A318 forward and aft cargo doors are smaller. The new cargo door width
is reduced from 1.82 m (71.5 in) to 1.28 m (50.5 in). The under-floor cargo
offers a usable volume of 21.21 m3. There is no containerized cargo system
option.

TURNING RADII
The different turning radii are shown on a steering diagram. The distance
between the two main landing gears is 7.59 m. The nose landing gear is located
10.25 m forward of the main landing gear. "Y" is the distance between the
centerline of the aircraft 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.

EIS ORGANIZATION
The Display Management Computers (DMC) provide the graphic
information to the display units (DU). Navigation, fuel and engine
information is given directly to the DMC (Not the warning
information).
In normal operation DMC1 drives the CAPT Primary Flight Display
(PFD) /Navigation Display (ND), Engine and Warning Display
(EWD) and System Display (SD).
In normal operation DMC 2 drives the first officer (F/O) PFD and ND
DUs. If DMC 1 or DMC3 fails, when it is supplying the ECAM EWD
and SD, it is replaced by DMC 2. This is an automatic transfer for
ECAM only. DMC 2 cannot drive the CAPT PFD and ND.
DMC 3 drives any of the six DUs. DMC 3 is a hot spare awaiting the
failure of DMC 1 or 2 and can be switched to take over the DUs
linked to the failed DMC.
The flight warning computer (FWC) generates all warning and
caution messages, supplies the attention getters, computes the flight
phase and provides aural warning.
The System Data Acquisition Concentrator (SDAC) receives various
aircraft information and sends it to the FWC and to the DMC for
display. The FWC uses this information to create the amber caution.

ECAM D/O
GENERAL PRESENTATION
ECAMD/O
The Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) performs three main

functions:
data acquisition and concentration,
data warning computation,
warning announcement and data display.
Data acquisition is shared between the System Data Acquisition Concentrators
(SDACs),the Flight Warning Computers (FWCs) and the Display Management
Computers (DMCs). Data warning computation and memo are achieved by the
FWCs, warning announcements and data display is made through loudspeakers
and display units.

ECAM D/O
ECAM SYSTEM COMPONENTS
ECAM system components are:
SDACs,
FWCs,
DMCs.
SDAC
The two SDACs are identical and interchangeable. The SDACs
acquire aircraft systems malfunction/failure data corresponding to
caution situations and send them to the FWCs for generation of the
corresponding alert and procedure messages. The two SDACs also
acquire and send to the 3 DMCs aircraft system signals necessary for
the display of system information.
Therefore, each parameter acquired is given to the two SDACs. All
the signals (discrete, analog, digital) entering the SDACs are
converted into digital format and delivered on their output busses
under ARINC 429. The SDACs copy certain parameters to distribute
them to other equipment in digital form (ARINC 429).

FWC
The two FWCs are interchangeable. Each FWC generates
alphanumeric codes corresponding to all texts and messages to be
displayed on the ECAM display units. The aural warnings and
synthetic voices are delivered by the FWCs to the cockpit
loudspeakers. The FWCs compute all warnings and cautions.
The FWCs perform three main functions:
Data acquisition,
Flight phase computation.
Data warning computation corresponding to warning situations,
The FWC outputs/inputs are:
Discrete for visual attention getters,
Analog for audio signals,
ARINC 429 called FWC DATA BUS,
RS 422 called FWC MESSAGE BUS.
Each FWC sends a copy of its own acquisition through an ARINC
429 bus to the opposite FWC.
The FWCs provide aural and visual information in order to:
Show, in real time, all the system failures and dangerous
configurations with their level of seriousness,
Identify the systems or circuits affected by a failure,
Provide the appropriate corrective action.

DMC
The three DMCs are identical and interchangeable. The DMCs
receive data from the aircraft systems, either directly or through the
SDACs and FWCs. They decode and process the data in order to
display messages or indications for the ECAM display units. The
DMCs receive from the aircraft systems all information necessary for
the computation of the different ECAM displays. The DMCs acquire
several types of signals:
Discrete signals,
ARINC 629 master bus,
ARINC 429 bus,
RS 232 buses for work shop test,
ARINC 453 Bus.

DMC
The three DMCs are identical and interchangeable, they receive
aircraft system data on ARINC 629 buses, weather radar information
on ARINC 453 high-speed bus, analog signal for the brightness
control, discrete signal for the PFD/ND transfer and PFD/ND ON/
OFF.
DMCs send data on an ARINC 629 link to the display units.
When a new DMC 2 or 3 is installed, new software must be
downloaded into it, this is done by cross loading (Xload) from DMC 1
only via the MCDU. If DMC 1 is replaced the new software must be
loaded from the MDDU as it is directly connected to DMC 1.
The Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) is performed in the DMC and
the results are stored for later transfer to the Centralized Fault Display
System (CFDS). It is possible to read this information via the
Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU).

EFIS SWITCHING PANEL
There are four controls, located on the extreme left and right side of
the main instrument panel:
The PFD/ND transfer pushbutton, at each push the PFD/ND displays
are swapped.
The PFD brightness control is used to switch on and off and control
the brightness of the PFD.
The outer knob of the ND brightness control is used to switch on and
off and control the brightness of the ND.
The inner knob of the ND brightness control is used to control the
brightness of the weather radar display.

UNJP000

UNJP000
EFIS D/O
DISPLAY UNITS
The DUs are identical and interchangeable. They are Liquid Crystal
Displays (LCD). Each DU receives digital signals from its related
DMC through an Arinc 629 Link, and also through an ARINC bus
453 high-speed bus for the weather radar link. The NDs provide this
information according to the modes selected on EFIS control panel
(part of the Flight Control Unit) .The modes are ROSE-ILS, ROSE-
VOR, ROSE-NAV, ARC, and PLAN.
The PFDs display provides flight information for A/C control,
including A/C Attitude, Airspeed, Altitude, Heading and Automatic
Flight System (AFS) modes.

EIS ABNORMAL OPERATION
ESI ABNORMALOPERATION
In order to ensure reliability of the displayed data, the Electronic Instrument

System (EIS) has three main types of reconfiguration:
In the case of single or multiple Display Unit (DU) failures.
In the case of single or multiple Display Management Computer (DMC)
failures.
In the case of external (sensor/computer) source failure.

UNJP000
EIS ABNORMAL OPERATION / EIS ABNORMAL OPERATION

UNJP000
SINGLE OR MULTIPLE FAILURE
Many failure could occurs on the Electronic Instrument System (EIS) like:
Primary Flight Display unit (PFD),
Navigation Display unit (ND),
Upper or lower display unit,
Multiple Display Unit (DU),
ECAM control panel,
System Data Acquisition Concentrator (SDAC),

PFD DU FAILURE
In the case of Primary Flight Display (PFD) failure (detected) or if the
PFD unit is switched off by means of its potentiometer, the PFD is
automatically displayed on the Navigation Display (ND) unit.
The PFD/ND transfer pushbutton switch (P/BSW) provides the crew
with the possibility to recover the ND on the ND unit, if necessary.
Display change is performed by software switching of the PFD/ND
outputs inside the DMC.

UNJP000
UPPER DU FAILURE
In the case of an upper display (EWD) failure or if the upper display
control potentiometer is turned to off, the upper display is
automatically transferred on the lower display, this mode is called
ECAM single display mode.
In this case a system page can be recovered by pushing and holding a
system key on the ECAM control panel.

UNJP000

UNJP000

UNJP000

UNJP000
LOWER DU FAILURE
In case of lower display unit failure or if the lower display is turned to
off, no automatic reconfiguration is possible, the ECAM works in
single display mode. Each crewmember has also the possibility to
present the SD on the ND by rotating the ECAM/ND transfer selector
switch on the switching panel.

UNJP000

UNJP000
MULTIPLE DU FAILURE
In case of EWD unit and SD unit failure, each crew member has the
possibility to permanently present the EWD on the ND unit by
rotating the ECAM/ND transfer selector switch on the switching
panel.
It is still possible to recover a system page by pushing and holding a
system key on the ECAM control panel.
In the case of PFD unit and ND unit failure (on the same side) no
reconfiguration is possible.

If the ECAM control panel fails, the main functions, emergency
cancel (EMER CANC), clear (CLR), recall (RCL), all (ALL) and
status (STS) remain available.

UNJP000

UNJP000
SDAC FAILURE
In the case of one System Data Acquisition Concentrator (SDAC)
failure, there is no operational consequence due to the redundancy of
the EIS , the following message is displayed.on the EWD. FWS
SDAC 1 (or SDAC 2) FAULT.
In the case of both SDACs fail the amber cautions and most of the
system displays are lost. The following message is displayed on the
EWD: FWS SDAC 1+2 FAULT. ENG, FUEL, F/CTL and WHEEL
ECAM page data is available because it is already in ARINC 429
format and not affected by SDAC failure.

UNJP000

UNJP000
FWC FAILURE
In the case of one Flight Warning Computer (FWC) failure, there is
no operational consequence due to the redundancy of the EIS, the
following message is displayed on the EWD: FWS FWC1 FAULT or
FWS FWC2 FAULT. All attention getters and loudspeakers remain
operative.
If the DMCs receive no valid data from both FWCs, the message
FWS FWC1 + 2 FAULT is displayed on the EWD. All other EWD
messages, aural warnings and attention getters are lost.

UNJP000

UNJP000
SINGLE OR MULTIPLE DMC FAILURE
If DMC1 fails, the Captain (CAPT) has to switch to DMC3 by rotating the EIS
DMC switch on the switching panel to CAPT 3. If DMC 2 fails, the First
Officer (F/O) has to switch to DMC3 by rotating the EIS DMC switch on the
switching panel to F/O 3. Either the CAPT or the F/O may select the DMC3.
In the case of all three DMCs fail, the crew can only use the standby
instruments. When the DMC is not able to send the data to the DU, the
message INVALID DATA is displayed on the related DU.

Each DMC receives and processes the data from each of the two
System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs). The DMCs use
SDAC1 data providing it is valid. All data transfer is by ARINC 429.
If the data is not valid or if SDAC1 is not valid, the DMCs will use the
data from SDAC2.The switching is automatic.

UNJP000

UNJP000
DMC OUTPUT BUSES
Each DMC transmits data on two ARINC 429 buses:
-one highspeed switched bus (FWC, ECP, ATSU, FDIMU),
-one lowspeed unswitched bus (CFDIU).
When the EIS DMC Selector Switch is set to CAPT 3 (or F/O 3),
DMC 1 (or DMC 2) sends through its output bus, the data received
from DMC3. The switching is done inside DMC 1 (or DMC 2).

UNJP000

UNJP000
WEATHER RADAR
Each DMC receives the weather radar transceivers data via two arinc
453 data buses {01 and 02} The DMCs retransmit the arinc 453 bus
into four digital buses {one clock and three colors -B0-B1-B2} which
are connected to each EFIS DUs. As only one weather radar
transceiver is in operation at a time, the DMCs process information
from the one in operation. The weather radar enable discrete disables

FLIGHT DATA INTERFACE MANAGEMENT UNIT
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A320 AND A318
FLIGHTDATAINTERFACEMANAGEMENTUNIT
The main differences between A320 and A318 consist in a combination of

Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU) and Data Management Unit (DMU).
FLIGHT DATA INTERFACE UNIT A320

The Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU) is connected to different
aircraft systems. Data (parameters) are received in discrete and digital
form. The FDIU collects these parameters and converts them for
internal processing. The FDIU microprocessor generates the output
format for the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) and the Quick
Access Recorder (QAR) (optional).
Note: another name for the DFDR is the Solid State Digital Flight
Recorder (SSDFR).
DATA MANAGEMENT UNIT A320

The function of the Data Management Unit (DMU) is the generation
of reports as a result of specific events defined by trigger conditions.
The DMU is the central part of the Aircraft Integrated Data System
(AIDS) and is reconfigurable via the Ground Support Equipment
(GSE).On the A318 a new computer Flight Data Interface And
Management Unit (FDIMU)combines all functions of FDIU and
DMU.

UNJP000
FLIGHT DATA INTERFACE MANAGEMENT UNIT / DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A320 AND A318

UNJP000
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU) puts together the
functions of the DFDRS and the AIDS into a single Line-Replaceable-Unit
(LRU). These two functions are controlled inside the FDIMU by two separate
processor-units (FDIU-part, DMU-part), which operate independently from
each other. An Internal data-bus connects the FDIU-part to the DMU-part.
The function of the FDIU-part is:
- To collect, format and supply the DFDR with various critical flight
parameters,
- To supply an output, which is encoded with GMT, to the Cockpit Voice
Recorder (CVR),
- To do an integrity check for acceleration parameters each flight,
- To receive linear acceleration via SDAC,
- To do a maintenance dialog with the CFDS in the form of a menu,
- To supply a Quick Access Recorder (QAR) if installed with the same data
frame as the DFDR.
The function of the DMU-part is to generate AIDS reports:
- To supply a digital frame to the Digital AIDS Recorder (DAR) (if installed),
- To collect all of the information, which comes from various A/C equipment
(ARINC 429 busses and discrete inputs),
- To communicate with specific equipment (MDDU/PDL,
MCDU,CFDIU,ACARS(if installed), PRINTER).

UNJP000
FLIGHT DATA INTERFACE MANAGEMENT UNIT / SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

UNJP000
COMPONENT LOCATION/DESCRIPTION
The FDIMU front panel is equipped with:
-A pivoting flap providing access to the test connector and PCMCIA interface,
-A FDIU Fail LED and a DMU Fail LED.
The integrated PCMCIA interface contains an optional DAR recording
function, and is able to store Smart AIDS Recorder (SAR) generated files and
AIDS standard reports. In addition it is possible to emulate a data loader
function. When using theses functions, a PCMCIA card must be inserted in the
PCMCIA interface.
A test connector is installed on the front panel of the FDIMU.
The test connector is used for:
-Portable Data Loader (PDL) connection,
-Maintenance test equipment connection (dialogue with laptop computer).
