Purpose

**ON A/C A380-800


Purpose
1.

General
The A380 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING (AC)
manual is issued for the A380 series aircraft to provide necessary data to airport operators, airlines
and Maintenance/Repair Organizations (MRO) for airport and maintenance facilities planning.
This revision is now a merging of the Maintenance Facility Planning (MFP) document and the
Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning (AC). This document has been renamed Aircraft
Characteristics - Airport and Maintenance Planning (AC) to reflect this change.
Additionally, a chapter 10 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting has been added to the AC. This
chapter contains the illustrations of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire fighting Charts poster and replaces
the PDF document that was available for download.
This document is not customized and must not be used for training purposes.
The A380-800 is a subsonic, very long range and very high capacity civil transport aircraft. The
A380-800 offers several payload capabilities ranging from 400 passengers in a very comfortable multiclass configuration, up to 853 passengers in an all economy class configuration.
Designed in close collaboration with major airlines, airports and airworthiness authorities, the A380 is
the most advanced, spacious and productive aircraft in service setting a new standard in air travel
and environmental efficiency.
The A380 Family starts from a baseline passenger aircraft - the A380-800. A higher capacity version,
the A380-900 could be developed when required by the market.
Two engine types are currently offered, the Engine Alliance GP7200 series and the Rolls-Royce Trent
900 series. Both engines use state of the art technology for better performance, maintainability, lower
fuel consumption and environmental impact.
The A380-800 was designed to be compatible with current airport infrastructure and equipment, as
proven in service. Bigger, quieter and capable of achieving quick turn around times, the A380-800
provides an efficient solution for airports and airlines to grow in a sustainable manner.

Landing Gear

**ON A/C A380-800


Landing Gear
1.

General
The aircraft has:
- Two Wing Landing Gears (WLG) with four wheel bogie assembly and related doors
- Two Body Landing Gears (BLG) with six wheel bogie assembly and related doors
- A Nose Landing Gear (NLG) with twin wheel assembly and related doors.
The Wing Landing Gears are located under the wing and retract sideways towards the fuselage
centerline.
The Body Landing Gears are located on the belly and retract rearward into a bay in the fuselage.
The Nose Landing Gear retracts forward into a fuselage compartment below the cockpit.
The landing gear and landing gear doors operation are controlled electrically and are hydraulically and
mechanically operated.
In abnormal operation, the landing gear can be extended by gravity.
For landing gear footprint and tire size, refer to 07-02-00.

2.

Wing Landing Gear


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.
A two-piece side-stay assembly holds the WLG in the extended position. A lock-stay keeps the sidestay assembly stable in the locked down position.

3.

Body Landing Gear


The two body landing gears have a six-wheel bogie beam and a leg assembly that includes an oleopneumatic shock absorber. A two-piece drag-stay assembly mechanically locks the leg in the extended
position.

4.

Nose Landing Gear


The nose landing gear includes a single-stage direct acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. A twopiece drag-stay assembly with a lock-stay, mechanically locks the leg in the extended position.

5.

Steering
The wheel steering control system has two parts:
- Nose wheel Steering (NWS)
- Body Wheel Steering (BWS)
Steering is controlled by two hand wheels in the cockpit. For steering angle controlled by the hand
wheels, refer to AMM 32-51-00 (NWS) and refer to AMM 32-54-00 (BWS).
For steering angle limitation, refer to AMM 09-10-00.

Landing Gear Servicing Points


A.

General
Filling of the landing gear shock absorbers is through MS28889 standard valves.
Charging of the landing gear shock absorbers is accomplished with nitrogen through MS28889
standard valves.

B.

Charging Pressure
For charging of the landing gear shock absorbers, refer to AMM 32-00-00.

Braking
A.

General
Carbon brakes are installed on each wheel of the WLG and on the wheels of the front and
center axles of the BLG.
The braking system is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated.
The braking system has four braking modes plus autobrake and anti-skid systems:
- Normal braking with anti-skid capability
- Alternative braking with anti-skid capability
- Emergency Braking (with Ultimate Braking)
- Emergency braking without anti-skid protection is also available as an alternative function of
the alternate braking system.
- A park brake system that is manually set is available for the BLG only. This system can also
be used to supply emergency braking.

B.

In-Flight Wheel Braking


Braking occurs automatically during the retraction of the landing gear. This stops the rotation
of the BLG and WLG wheels (except the wheels on the aft axle of each BLG) before the landing
gears go into their related bays.

8.

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 System Display (SD).
The TPIS includes Built In Test Equipment.

9.

Built In Test Equipment (BITE)


The BITE has these functions, it:
- Continuously monitors its systems 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 to be done during the maintenance procedures.
The BITE for the following systems is described in these chapters:
- The Brakes and Steering

Landing Gear Maintenance Pits
1.

General
The maintenance pit envelopes for the landing gear shock absorber maintenance are shown in Figures
1 - 4.
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 maximum 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 Figures 1 - 3.
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 and remove landing gear assemblies out of the pits.

B.

Jacking
The aircraft 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 2-14 for aircraft maintenance
jacking. Jacks must support the total aircraft 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.

Engine and Nacelle
1.

Engine and Nacelle - GP 7200 Engine


A.

Engine
The engine is a high by-pass ratio, two-rotor, axial flow turbofan engine with a high
compression ratio. The Engine has Four Major Sections as Follows:
- compressor section
- combustion section
- turbine section
- accessory drive section.
The compressor section supplies High Pressure (HP) compressed air to the diffuser/burner for
core engine thrust, aircraft service bleed systems, and by-pass air for thrust. A five-stage Low
Pressure (LP) compressor rotor assembly is located to the rear of the fan rotor. An acoustic
splitter fairing directs the primary airstream into the nine-stage HP compressor rotor assembly.
The HP compressor has three stages of variable Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) and external bleeds
from stages four, seven, and nine, with an internal bleed from stage six.
The combustion section receives compressed heated air from the HP compressor and fuel from
the fuel nozzles. The mixture of hot air and fuel is ignited and burned in the single-annular
combustion chamber to generate a HP stream of hot gas to turn the HP turbine and LP
turbine.
The turbine section consists of HP turbine and LP turbine. The two-stage HP turbine rotor
assembly receives the hot gas from the diffuser/burner. The HP turbine supplies the power to
turn the HP compressor. The six-stage LP turbine has an active clearance control system for
more efficient engine operation. The LP turbine provides the power to turn the LP compressor
and fan rotor. The Turbine Exhaust Case (TEC) assembly supplies the structural support for the
rear of the engine. The TEC straightens the exhaust gas flow as it exits the engine.
The accessory drive section consists of Main Gearbox (MGB) and Angle Gearbox (AGB). The
MGB supplies the power to turn the attached engine and aircraft accessories. The AGB
transmits the power from the engine rotor to the MGB. During engine start, the AGB transmits
the power from the MGB to turn the engine rotor.
The LP rotor system is independent of the HP rotor system. The LP rotor system consists of
the LP compressor and the LP turbine. The HP rotor system consists of the HP compressor and
the HP turbine.

B.

Nacelle
The Nacelle gives an aerodynamic shape to the engine and supports the thrust reverser system.
Each engine is housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached below the wing.
The nacelle consists of the following major components:
(1) Air Intake Cowl Assembly
The air intake cowl is an interchangeable aerodynamic cowl installed on the forward face
of the engine fan case with bolts. It is designed to provide contour for airflow entering the
engine and attenuates the fan noise.

02-12-00

Page 4
Dec 01/13

@A380
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

(2) Fan Cowl Assembly


The fan-cowl doors are an assembly of aerodynamic cowls attached to the aircraft pylon
structure through its hinges. It is installed between the air intake cowl and the fan exhaust
cowl/thrust reverser, around the engine fan case. It is composed of two semicircular
panels, the left and the right fan cowl door.
(3) Thrust Reverser
The thrust reverser assembly is installed at the aft part of the nacelle. The thrust reverser
cowls are installed on the aircraft inboard engines. It is attached to the wing pylon by
hinges. The thrust reverser assembly is a standard fixed cascade, translating cowl and
blocker door type thrust reverser. It is only installed on the aircraft inboard position
nacelles. It is made of two halves that make a duct around the engine. Each half consists
of a fixed structure, which gives support for the cascades and actuation system and a
translating cowl.
The thrust reverser assembly encloses the engine core with an aerodynamic flow path and
uses the outer translating cowl to give a fan exhaust duct and nozzle exit.
In stow mode, the thrust reverser is an aerodynamic structure that adds to the engine
thrust generation.
In reverse mode, it is used to turn and direct the fan exhaust air in the forward direction
using blocker door through the cascades. The thrust reverser increases the aircraft braking
function in order to reduce the landing or aborted take-off distance, especially on a
contaminated runway.
(4) Fan Exhaust Cowl Assembly
The fan exhaust cowls is a component of the aircraft propulsion system nacelle. It is
installed at the aft part of the nacelle. The fan exhaust cowls are installed on the aircraft
outboard engines.
The fan exhaust cowls are attached to the wing pylon by hinges. The two halves of the fan
exhaust cowl close the engine core with an aerodynamic flow path.
The fan exhaust structure has two half-cowls hinged at the top to the wing pylon and
latched together at the bottom centerline. Its forward end is secured on the aft of the fan
case and aft of the intermediate engine case.
(5) Exhaust System
The primary air flow is the part of the air absorbed by the engine that enters into the
engine combustor and that is exhausted to atmosphere through the turbine exhaust
system.
The turbine exhaust flow path is formed by the inner wall of the exhaust nozzle and the
outer wall of the exhaust plug.
The secondary air flow is the part of the air absorbed by the fan that bypasses the core
engine and flows through the thrust reverser and fan exhaust cowl directly to the
atmosphere.

Engine and Nacelle -TRENT 900 Engine


A.

Engine
The RB211-TRENT 900 engine is a high by-pass ratio, triple spool turbo-fan.
The principal modules of the engine are:
- Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) rotor
- Intermediate Pressure (IP) compressor
- Intermediate case
- HP system (this includes the High Pressure Compressor (HPC), the combustion system and
the High Pressure Turbine (HPT))
- IP turbine
- external gearbox
- LPC case
- Low Pressure Turbine (LPT)
The Intermediate Pressure (IP) and Low Pressure Compressor (LPC)/Low Pressure Turbine
(LPT) assemblies turn in a counter clockwise direction and the High Pressure Compressor
(HPC)/ High Pressure Turbine (HPT) assembly turns in a clockwise direction (when seen from
the rear of the engine) during engine operation.
The compressors increase the pressure of the air, which flows through the engine. The necessary
power to turn the compressors is supplied by turbines.
The LP system has a one-stage compressor installed at the front of the engine. A shaft connects
the single-stage LPC to a five-stage axial flow turbine at the rear of the gas generator. The gas
generator also includes an eight-stage IP compressor, a six-stage HPC and a combustion system.
Each of the compressors in the gas generator is connected to, and turned by, a different turbine.
Between the HPC and the HPT is the annular combustion system which burns a mixture of fuel
and air to supply energy as heat. Behind the LPT there is a collector nozzle assembly through
which the hot gas exhaust flows.

B.

Nacelle
A nacelle gives the engine an aerodynamic shape and supports the thrust reverser system. Each
engine is housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached below the wing.
The nacelle consists of the following major components:
(1) Air Intake Cowl Assembly
The air intake cowl is an interchangeable aerodynamic cowl installed at the front of the
engine. It ducts the airflow to the fan and the engine core. The cowl has panels for easy
access to the components. Acoustic materials are used in the manufacture of the cowl to
help decrease the engine noise.
(2) Fan Cowl Assembly
The fan cowl assembly has two semicircular panels, the left fan cowl door and the right
fan cowl door. The installation of the fan cowl doors is around the engine fan case
between the air intake cowl and the thrust reverser cowl.

02-12-00

@A380
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

The fan Cowl Opening System (COS) have two electrical actuators which open or close
the fan cowls. Personnel operate the actuators from the ground only during engine
maintenance operations. The personnel use a switch box located on the air intake cowl.
(3) Thrust Reverser
The thrust reverser assembly is installed at the aft part of the nacelle. The thrust reversers
are installed on the aircraft inboard engines. It is attached to the wing pylon by hinges.
The thrust reverser assembly is a standard fixed cascade, translating cowl and blocker door
type thrust-reverser. It is only installed on the aircraft inboard engine nacelles. It is made
of two halves that make a duct around the engine. Each half has a fixed structure that
holds the cascades, the actuation system and a translating cowl.
The thrust reverser assembly closes the engine core with an aerodynamic flow path and
uses the outer translating cowl to make a fan exhaust duct and nozzle exit.
In stow mode, the thrust reverser is an aerodynamic structure that makes the engine
thrust.
In reverse mode, it changes the direction of the fan exhaust air in the forward direction by
use of the blocker doors through the cascades. The thrust reverser increases the aircraft
braking and speed braking function in order to decrease the landing or aborted take-off
distance, especially on a dirty runway.
(4) Fan Exhaust Cowl Assembly
The fan exhaust cowl is a component of the aircraft engine nacelle. It is installed at the aft
part of the nacelle. The fan exhaust structures are installed on the aircraft outboard
engines. They are attached to the wing pylon by hinges. The left and right fan exhaust
structures closed the engine core with an aerodynamic flow path. The structure gives a fire
protection and a support for the aerodynamic, inertial and engine loads.
The fan exhaust structure has left and right cowls hinged at the top to the wing pylon and
latched together at the bottom centerline. Its forward end is attached at the aft of the fan
case.
(5) Exhaust System
Primary air is the part of the air absorbed by the fan that enters the engine near the fan
blade platform, continues through the Low Pressure (LP) and High Pressure (HP)
compressors, the combustor, and the HP and LP turbines, and is accelerated and
exhausted to the atmosphere through the turbine exhaust system.
The turbine exhaust flow path is formed by the inner surface of the exhaust nozzle and the

Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment

**ON A/C A380-800


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 1L and 1R 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 photogrammetry.

Jacking

**ON A/C A380-800


Jacking for Maintenance
1.

Aircraft Jacking Points for Maintenance


A.

General
(1) The A380-800 can be jacked:
- At not more than 333 700 kg (735 682 lb)
- Within the limits of the permissible wind speed when the aircraft is jacked outside a
closed environment.

B.

Primary Jacking Points


(1) The aircraft is 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 spherical jack pad adapters at the wings (one at each wing).

C.

Auxiliary Jacking Point (Safety Stay)


(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 an intermediary part
between the aircraft safety point and the stay.

2.

Jacks and Safety Stay


A.

Jack Design
(1) The maximum eligible loads given in the table (Ref. Fig. Jacking Point Location) are the
maximum loads applicable on jack fittings.
(2) In fully retracted position (jack stroke at minimum), the height of the jacks is such that
the jack may be placed beneath the aircraft under the most adverse conditions, namely,
tires deflated and shock absorbers depressurized, with sufficient clearance between the
aircraft jacking point and the jack upper end.
(3) The jacks stroke enables the aircraft to be jacked up so that the Fuselage Datum Line
(FDL) may be positioned up to 7 200 mm (283.46 in) from the ground to allow all
required maintenance procedures and in particular, the removal/installation of the landinggear shock absorbers.

B.

Safety Stay
(1) The stay stroke enables the aircraft tail to be supported up to the Fuselage Datum Line
(FDL) positioned 7 200 mm (283.46 in) from the ground.

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.
NOTE : You can lift the aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW).
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 position are shown in Fig. 004.
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 FWD 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:
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the AFT axle
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the FWD axle.
Important dimensions of the WLG when lifted are shown in Fig. 002.
The reaction loads at the jacking position are shown in Fig. 005.
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.

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 FWD 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:
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the AFT axle
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the center axle
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the FWD axle.

GROUND MANEUVERING

General Information

**ON A/C A380-800


General
1.

This section provides aircraft 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 a guidelines for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In 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 in the level of performance, over a wide range of operating
circumstances 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 a high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should
be coordinated with the airlines in question prior to layout planning.

Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections

**ON A/C A380-800


Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections
1.

The ground manoeuvres were performed using asymmetric thrust and differential only braking to
initiate the turn.
TODA: Take-Off Available Distance
ASDA: Acceleration-Stop Distance Available

2.

90 Turn on Runway Entry


This section gives the minimum line-up distance correction for a 90 turn on runway entry.
This manoeuvre consists in a 90 turn at minimum turn radius starting with the edge of the WLG at
a distance of 4.5 m (15 ft) from taxiway edge, and finishing with the aircraft aligned on the
centerline of the runway, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-003-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 4.5 m (15 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.

3.

180 Turn on Runway Turn Pad


This section gives the minimum line-up distance correction for a 180 turn on runway turn pad.
This manoeuvre consists in a 180 turn at minimum turn radius on a standard ICAO runway turn
pad geometry, .
It starts with the edge of the WLG at 4.5 m (15 ft) from pavement edge, and it finishes with the
aircraft aligned on the centerline of the runway, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-004-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 4.5 m (15 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.

4.

180 Turn on Runway Width


This section gives the minimum line-up distance correction for a 180 turn on runway width.
For this manoeuvre, the pavement width is considered to be the runway width, which is a frozen
parameter (45 m (150 ft) and 60 m (200 ft)).
As per the 180 turn on runway standard operating procedures described in the Flight Crew
Operating Manual, the aircraft is initially angled with respect to runway centerline when starting the
180 turn, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-005-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 4.5 m (15 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.

When the system operates, a Ram Air Turbine (RAT-ELEC) module extends from the flap-track 2
fairing of the left wing into the airflow. The turbine supplies power to a generator through
mechanical transmission. The system includes an Emergency Generator Control-Unit (GCU-ELEC
RAT) that controls and monitors generator operation. The system can operate automatically or
manually.
A safety pin is used to prevent unwanted extension of the RAT during servicing or maintenance
tasks.
The pin is engaged in the RAT uplock assembly through the RAT fairing hand hole when the RAT is
retracted.

Engine Starting Pneumatic Requirements

**ON A/C A380-800


Engine Starting Pneumatic Requirements
1.

The purpose of this section is to provide the air data at the aircraft connection, needed to start the
engine within no more than 90 seconds, at sea level (0 ft), for a set of Outside Air Temperatures
(OAT).
ABBREVIATION

A/C
ASU
HPGC
OAT

DEFINITION
Aircraft
Air Start Unit
High Pressure Ground Connection
Outside Air Temperature

A.

Air data (discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure) are given at the HPGC.

B.

For the requirements below, the configuration with two HPGC is used. Using more than two
connectors (for a given mass flow rate and discharge pressure from the ASU) will lower the
pressure loss in the ducts of the bleed system and therefore increase the performances at the
engine starter.

C.

For a given OAT the following charts are used to determine an acceptable combination for air
data: discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure and mass flow rate at the HPGC.

D.

This section addresses requirements for the ASU only, and is not representative of the start
performance of the aircraft using the APU or engine cross bleed procedure.

E.

To protect the A/C, the charts feature, if necessary:


- The maximum discharge pressure at the HPGC
- The maximum discharge temperature at the HPGC.

Preconditioned Airflow Requirements
1.

This section provides the preconditioned airflow rate and temperature needed to maintain the cabin
temperature at 27C (80.6F).
These settings are not intended to be used for operation (they are not a substitute for the settings
given in the AMM). They are based on theoretical simulations and give the picture of a real steady
state.
For the air conditioning operation, the AMM details the procedure and the preconditioned airflow
settings to maintain the cabin temperature below 27C (80.6F) during boarding (therefore it is not
a steady state).

Ground Towing Requirements

**ON A/C A380-800


Ground Towing Requirements
1.

This section provides information on aircraft Towing.


The A380-800 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.
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, see FIGURE
5-8-0-991-001-A:
- Aircraft weight,
- Slope,
- Number of engines at idle.
The chart is based on the A380-800 engine type with the highest idle thrust. The chart is therefore
valid for all A380-800 models.

2.

Towbar design guidelines


The aircraft towbar shall respect the following norms:
- SAE AS 1614, Main Line Aircraft TowBar Attach Fitting Interface,
- SAE ARP1915, 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).
The towing head is designed according to SAE/AS 1614 cat. V.

Engine Exhaust Velocities and Temperatures

**ON A/C A380-800


Engine Exhaust Velocities and Temperatures
1.

General
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-Royces Trent 900 engine and the Engine Alliances 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-Royces Trent 900:


The estimated efflux data are presented at ISA+15C (30C), 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 (40C), 122F (50C) and 172F
(60C).

B.

Data from Engine Alliances GP7200:

06-01-00

Page 1
Dec 01/13

@A380
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

The estimated efflux data are presented at ISA+15C (30C), Sea Level Static with 20 kt
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 122F (50C), 212F (100C) and 392F (200C). Engine Alliance strongly
recommends that jet blast studies using their contours include the effect of a 20-knot headwind.

Danger Areas of the Engines

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.
The A380 outer engines are high enough above ground to prevent the ingestion of typical loose
objects, which can be found on ground at the edge of runways/taxiways paved areas (loose gravels
for example), 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.

PAVEMENT DATA
07-01-00

General Information

**ON A/C A380-800


General Information
1.

General
A brief description of the pavement charts that follow will help in airport planning.
To aid in the interpolation between the discrete values shown, each aircraft configuration is shown
with a minimum range of five loads on the Main Landing Gear (MLG).
All curves on the charts represent data at a constant specified tire pressure with:
- The aircraft loaded to the Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW),
- The CG at its maximum permissible aft position.
Pavement requirements for commercial aircraft are derived from the static analysis of loads imposed
on the MLG struts.
Landing Gear Footprint:
Section 07-02-00 presents basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, MRW and tire sizes
and pressures.
Maximum Pavement Loads:
Section 07-03-00 shows maximum vertical and horizontal pavement loads for certain critical
conditions at the tire-ground interfaces.
Landing Gear Loading on Pavement:
Section 07-04-00 contains charts to find these loads throughout the stability limits of the aircraft at
rest on the pavement.
These MLG loads are used as the point of entry to the pavement design charts which follow,
interpolating load values where necessary.
Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method:
Section 07-05-00 uses procedures in Instruction Report No. S-77-1 Procedures for Development of
CBR Design Curves, dated June 1977 and as modified according to the methods described in ICAO
Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3. Pavements, 2nd Edition, 1983, Section 1.1 (The ACN-PCN
Method), and utilizing the alpha factors approved by ICAO in October 2007.
The report was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Soils
and Pavement Laboratory, Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The line showing 10 000 coverages is used to calculate the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion Method:


The flexible pavement charts in Section 07-06-00 show Load Classification Number (LCN) against
Equivalent Single Wheel Load (ESWL), and ESWL against pavement thickness.
All the LCN curves shown in the Flexible Pavement Requirements were developed from a computer
program based on data in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) document 7920AN/865/2, Aerodrome Manual, Part 2, Aerodrome Physical Characteristics, Second Edition, 1965.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - PCA (Portland Cement Association) Design Method:
Section 07-07-00 gives the rigid pavement design curves that have been prepared with the use of the
Westergaard Equation.
This is in general accordance with the procedures outlined in the Portland Cement Association
publications, Design of Concrete Airport Pavement, 1973 and Computer Program for Airport
Pavement Design (Program PDILB), 1967 both by Robert G. Packard.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion:
Section 07-08-00 gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the LCN conversion:
- For the radius of relative stiffness,
- For the radius of relative stiffness (other values of E and ).
All the LCN curves shown in Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN conversion were developed from a
computer program based on data in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) document 7920AN/865/2, Aerodrome Manual, Part 2, Aerodrome Physical Characteristics, Second Edition, 1965.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion - Radius of Relative Stiffness:
The rigid pavement charts show LCN against ESWL, and ESWL against radius of relative stiffness.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion - Radius of Relative Stiffness (other values of E and
):
The rigid pavement charts show LCN against ESWL, and ESWL against radius of relative stiffness
affected by the other values of E and .
ACN/PCN Reporting System:
Section 07-09-00 provides ACN data prepared according to the ACN/PCN system as referenced in
ICAO Annex 14, Aerodromes, Volume 1 Aerodrome Design and Operations Fourth Edition, July
2004, incorporating Amendments 1 to 6.
The ACN/PCN system provides a standardized international aircraft/pavement rating system
replacing the various S, T, TT, LCN, AUW, ISWL, etc., rating systems used throughout the world.
ACN is the Aircraft Classification Number and PCN is the corresponding Pavement Classification
Number.
An aircraft having an ACN less than or equal to the PCN can operate without restriction on the
pavement.
Numerically the ACN is two times the derived single wheel load expressed in thousands of kilograms.
The derived single wheel load is defined as the load on a single tire inflated to 1.25 MPa (181 psi)
that would have the same pavement requirements as the aircraft.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

Computationally the ACN/PCN system uses PCA program PDILB for rigid pavements and S-77-1 for
flexible pavements to calculate ACN values.
The Airport Authority must decide on the method of pavement analysis and the results of their
evaluation shown as follows:

Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method

**ON A/C A380-800


Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method
1.

This section gives data about the flexible pavement requirements.


The flexible pavement requirements graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
that produce (at the MRW and max aft CG) the lowest MLG and the highest MLG load of each type
of aircraft.
They are calculated with the US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method.
To find a flexible pavement thickness, you must know the Subgrade Strength (CBR), the annual
departure level and the weight on one MLG.
The line that shows 10 000 coverages is used to calculate the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).
The procedure that follows is used to develop flexible pavement design curves:
- With the scale for pavement thickness at the bottom and the scale for CBR at the top, a random
line is made to show 10 000 coverages,
- A plot is then made of the incremental values of the weight on the MLG,
- Annual departure lines are made based on the load lines of the weight on the MLG that is shown
on the graph.
Example, see FIGURE 7-5-0-991-001-A (Sheet 1), calculation of the thickness of the flexible
pavement for Wing Landing Gear:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- A CBR value of 10,
- An annual departure level of 3 000,
- The load on one WLG of 75 000 kg (165 350 lb).
The required flexible pavement thickness is 58.5 cm (23 in).
Example, see FIGURE 7-5-0-991-001-A (Sheet 2), calculation of the thickness of the flexible
pavement for Body Landing Gear:
- An aircraft with a Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW) of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- A CBR value of 10,
- An annual departure level of 3 000,
- The load on one BLG of 125 000 kg (275 575 lb).
The required flexible pavement thickness is 61.1 cm (24 in).
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion

**ON A/C A380-800


Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
1.

This section gives data about the flexible pavement requirements for Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion.
The flexible pavement requirements graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for
each A/C type.
To find the aircraft weight that a flexible pavement can support, you must know the LCN of the
pavement and the thickness.
Example, see FIGURE 7-6-0-991-002-A (sheet 1), calculation of the thickness of the flexible
pavement for the WLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- The flexible pavement thickness is 1 270 mm (50 in) with a related LCN of 112.
The weight on one MLG is 75 000 kg (165 350 lb).
Example, see FIGURE 7-6-0-991-002-A (sheet 2), calculation of the thickness of the flexible
pavement for the BLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- The flexible pavement thickness is 1 270 mm (50 in) with a related LCN of 104.
The weight on one MLG is 125 000 kg (275 575 lb).

2.

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Table


The table in FIGURE 7-6-0-991-001-A provides LCN data in a tabular format similar to the one used
by ICAO in the Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1977. In order to use the
system accurately you should know the total pavement thickness for flexible pavement.
However, the pavement thickness for particular runways are not frequently published in the standard
airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.).
Therefore it is common practice to use a standard thickness (20 in) when determining the LCN and
the ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between the MRW and the empty weight of the aircraft is
required or if the real thickness is known, refer to the figures that follow.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for LCN calculation.

Rigid Pavement Requirements - Portland Cement Association Design Method

**ON A/C A380-800


Rigid Pavement Requirements - Portland Cement Association Design Method
1.

This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the PCA (Portland Cement
Association) design method.
The rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and max aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for each
A/C type.
To find a rigid pavement thickness, you must know the Subgrade Modulus (k), the permitted working
stress and the weight on one MLG.
The procedure that follows is used to develop rigid pavement design curves:
- With the scale for pavement thickness on the left and the scale for permitted working stress on
the right, a random load line is made. This represents the MLG maximum weight to be shown,
- A plot is then made of all values of the subgrade modulus (k values),
- More load lines for the incremental values of the weight on the MLG are made based on the
curve for k = 80 MN/m3, which is already shown on the graph.
Example, see FIGURE 7-7-0-991-001-A (sheet 1), calculation of the thickness of the rigid pavement
for the WLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- A k value of 80 MN/m3 (300 lbf/in3),
- A permitted working stress of 38.67 kg/cm2 (550 lb/in2),
- The load on one MLG is 75 000 kg (165 350 lb).
The required rigid pavement thickness is 224 mm (9 in).
Example, see FIGURE 7-7-0-991-001-A (sheet 2), calculation of the thickness of the rigid pavement
for the BLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- A k value of 80 MN/m3 (300 lbf/in3),
- A permitted working stress of 38.67 kg/cm2 (550 lb/in2),
- The load on one MLG is 125 000 kg (275 575 lb).
The required rigid pavement thickness is 239 mm (9 in).
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.

Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion

**ON A/C A380-800


Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
1.

This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion (radius of relative stiffness).
The rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and max aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for each
type of aircraft.
To find the aircraft weight that a rigid pavement can support, you must know the LCN of the
pavement and the radius of relative stiffness (L).
The calculation of the radius of relative stiffness (L) is done with the formula and the table given in
Radius of Relative Stiffness (L values based on Youngs Modulus (E) of 4 000 000 psi and
Poissons Ratio () of 0.15), see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-002-A.
Example, see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-003-A (Sheet 1), calculation of the aircraft weight through the
radius of relative stiffness (L) of the rigid pavement for the Wing Landing Gear (WLG):
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- The radius of relative stiffness is shown at 1 270 mm (50 in) with a related LCN of 86.
The weight on one WLG is 75 000 kg (165 350 lb).
Example, see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-003-A (Sheet 2), calculation of the aircraft weight through the
radius of relative stiffness (L) of the rigid pavement for the Body Landing Gear (BLG):
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- The radius of relative stiffness is shown at 1 270 mm (50 in) with a related LCN of 81.
The weight on one BLG is 125 000 kg (275 575 lb).
The following table provides LCN data in a tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the
Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1977. In order to use the system accurately
you should know the total pavement radius of relative stiffness (L-value) for rigid pavement.
However, the pavement radius of relative stiffness for a particular runway are not frequently published
in the standard airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.). Therefore it is common
practice to use a standard radius of relative stiffness (30 inches) when determining the LCN and the
ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between the maximum ramp weight and the empty weight of
the aircraft is required or if the real thickness is known, refer to the figures that follow.

Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of E and )


This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion (radius of relative stiffness) with other values of E (Youngs modulus) and
(Poissons ratio).
The other values of E and have an effect on the radius of relative stiffness (L-value).

The effect of E and on the radius of relative stiffness (L-value) is shown in the graphs in FIGURE
7-8-0-991-005-A.
The table in FIGURE 7-8-0-991-002-A shows L-values based on a Youngs modulus (E) of 4 000 000
psi and a Poissons ratio () of 0.15.
To find the L-value, you must know the values of E and .
Example, see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-005-A, calculation of the L-values of the rigid pavement for an E of
3 000 000 psi.
The E factor is 0.931.
The radius of relative stiffness (L-value) is the value found in the table (see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-002A) multiplied by 0.931.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for LCN calculation.

**ON A/C A380-800


ACN/PCN Reporting System - Flexible and Rigid Pavements
1.

This section gives data about the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) for an aircraft gross weight in
relation with a subgrade strength value for flexible and rigid pavement.
The flexible and rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight
variants producing (at the MRW and max aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load
for each type of aircraft.
To find the ACN of an aircraft on flexible and rigid pavement, you must know the aircraft gross
weight and the subgrade strength.
NOTE : An aircraft with an ACN equal to or less than the reported PCN can operate on that
pavement, subject to any limitation on the tire pressure.
(Ref: ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3, Chapter 1, Second Edition 1983).
Example, see FIGURE 7-9-0-991-002-A (sheet 1), calculation of the ACN for flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 420 000 kg (925 950 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 43.
Example, see FIGURE 7-9-0-991-002-A (sheet 2), calculation of the ACN for rigid pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 492 000 kg (1 084 675 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 420 000 kg (925 950 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for rigid pavement is 44.

Aircraft Classification Number - ACN table


The table in FIGURE 7-9-0-991-001-A provides ACN data in tabular format similar to the one used
by ICAO in the Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1983. If the ACN for an
intermediate weight between MRW and the minimum weight of the aircraft is required, refer to the
figures that follow.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.
