1.Introduction
General
The A380 is a Very Long Range (VLR), subsonic, civi
transport aircraft. The design combines the in-service
experience gained from the A330 and A340 aircraft
operated all around the world with new technology
developed specifically for the A380 program.
The general arrangement is a four-engine configuration
with rearward swept low wing and a conventional
‘The basic model is the A380-800 Long Range passenger
model
Certification Basis
* Design, construction and type certificate: JAR 25 at
change 15 (FAR 25 amendments 1 to 98 exc. 87 and
96)
* Noise requirements: JAR 36 (plus 2 NPAs) equivalent
to ICAO Annex 16 (Chapter 4)

2.General Arrangement
Typical Cabin Layout
The A380 has a full-length double-deck fuselage.
The two passenger decks are referred to as the main and
upper deck.
Both decks are connected by cabin stairs and galley lifts.
The cockpit is located between these two decks (Refer to
Flight Deck Layout).
The typical cabin layout is 555 seats. The passenger
seating layout may vary, depending on the Operator's
requirements.
The two passenger decks offer a wide range of cabin
arrangement possibilities.
Peed
Each deck can have up to:
* 10 seats abreast in each row of the main deck
+ 8 seats abreast in each row of the upper deck.
Each deck can either be serviced from the main deck
only, or from both decks simultaneously.
The A380-800 aircraft has 8 pairs of large passenger
doors (Type A). Five pairs are on the main deck and three
pairs are on the upper deck.

Flight Crew’s Vision Envelope
+ The A380 cockpit layout is similar to that of previous
Airbus family aircrafts.
+ The outline of the nose cone, the windshield and the
side window panels have been defined to obtain an
outside visibility comparable to that of all modem
aircraft. The visibility is greater than that defined by the
