2.1.0 General Airplane Characteristics

The weight terms used throughout this manual are given below together with
their respective definitions.
Maximum Taxi Weight (MTW) :

Maximum weight for ground maneuver as limited by aircraft strength and
airworthiness requirements. (It includes weight of run—up and taxi fuel).
It is also called Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW).
Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) :

Maximum weight for landing as limited by aircraft strength and
airworthiness requirements.
Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) :

Maximum weight for takeoff as limited by aircraft strength and
airworthiness requirements. (This is the maximum weight at start of the
takeoff run).
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW) :

Maximum operational weight of the aircraft without usable fuel.
Operational Empty Weight (OEW) :

Weight of structure, powerplant, furnishings, systems, and other items of
equipment that are an integral part of a particular aircraft configuration
plus the operator’s items.
The operator’s items are the flight and cabin crew and their baggage,
unusable fuel, engine oil, emergency equipment, toilet chemical and
fluids, galley structure, catering equipment, passenger seats and life
vests, documents, etc.
Maximum Payload :
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW) minus Operational Empty Weight (OEW).
Maximum Seating Capacity :

Maximum number of passengers specifically certified or anticipated for
certification.
Maximum Cargo Volume :

Maximum usable volume available for cargo.
Usable Fuel :
Fuel available for aircraft propulsion.

5—8 Ground Towing Requirements

This section provides information on aircraft Towing.
The A310 is designed with means for conventional towing or towbarless

towing. Information on towbar less towing can be found in SIL 09—002
and chapter 9 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
1. Ground Towing
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. Two towbar fittings are installed, one at the
front of the leg and one at the back.
The body gears have attachment points for towing or debogging (for
details refer to chapter 7 of the Aircraft Recovery Manual).
A. The first part of this section shows the chart to determine the
draw bar 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 A310 engine type with the biggest idle
thrust.
The chart is therefore valid for all A310 models.
B. The second part of this section supplies guidelines for the

towbar.
NOTE : Information on aircraft towing procedures and

corresponding aircraft limitations are given in chapter 9
of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.

2. Towbar design guidelines
The aircraft towbar shall respect the following norms :
• SAE AS 1614, “Main Line Aircraft Tow Bar Attach Fitting

Interface”,
• SAE ARP1915 Revision C, “Aircraft Tow Bar”,
• ISO 8267—1, “Aircraft — Tow bar attachment fitting — Interface
requirements — Part 1 : Main line aircraft”,
• ISO 9667, “Aircraft ground support equipment — Tow bars”
• IATA Airport Handling Manual AHM 958, “Functional Specification
for an Aircraft Towbar”
A conventional type tow bar is required which 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 14670 daN (33000 lbf),
— A torsion pin calibrated at 1750 m.daN (12907 lbf.in).
The towing head is designed according to SAE/AS 1614 (issue C)
cat. II.
There is a variety of shear pin arrangements and the values of the

shear pins depend on them. We hereafter show two arrangements
classically used on towbars.

PAVEMENT DATA
1. General Information
–A310–200 Models – A310–300 Models
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

airplane configuration is shown with a minimum range of five loads on
the main landing gear.
All curves on the charts represent data at a constant specified tire

pressure with :
— the airplane loaded to the maximum ramp weight.

— the CG at its maximum permissible aft position.
Pavement requirements for commercial airplanes are derived from the

static analysis of loads imposed on the main landing gear struts.
Section 7.2, presents basic data on the landing gear footprint

configuration, maximum ramp weights and tire sizes and pressures.
Section 7.3, shows maximum vertical and horizontal pavement loads for
certain critical conditions at the tire–ground interfaces.
Section 7.4.1 contains charts to find these loads throughout the

stability limits of the airplane at rest on the pavement.
These main landing gear loads are used as the point of entry to the
pavement design charts which follow, interpolating load values where
necessary.
Section 7.5.1 uses procedures in Instruction Report No. S–77–1

“Procedures for Development of CBR Design Curves”, dated June 1977 to
show flexible pavement design curves.
The report was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps Engineers Waterways
Experiment Station, Soils and Pavement Laboratory, Vicksburg,
Mississippi.
Section 7.5.1 & 7.9.1 uses the new load repetition factor according to
the ICAO letter Reference AN 4/20.1-EB/07/26.
Chapter 7.1
Page 1
R DEC 01/09

A310
The line showing 10 000 coverages is used to calculate Aircraft

Classification Number (ACN).
2. Flexible Pavement
The procedure that follows is used to develop flexible pavement design

curves such as shown in Section 7.5.1.
A. With the scale for pavement thickness at the bottom and the scale
for CBR at the top, an arbitary line is drawn representing
10 000 coverages.
B. Incremental values of the weight on the main landing gear are then
plotted.
C. Annual departure line are drawn based on the load lines of the weight
on the main landing gear that is shown on the graph.
Section 7.7.1 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.
3. Rigid Pavement
The procedure that follows is used to develop rigid pavement design

curves such a those shown in Section 7.7.1.
A. With the scale for pavement thickness on the left and the scale for
allowable working stress on the right, an arbitrary line load line is
drawn. This represents the main landing gear maximum weight to be
shown.
B. All values of the subgrade modulus (k values) are then plotted.
C. Additional load lines for the incremental values of weight on the

main landing gear are drawn on the basis of the curve for k = 80 MN/m3
already shown on the graph.
All Load Classification Number (LCN) curves shown in Section 7.6.1 and
Section 7.8.2 have been developed from a computer program based on data
provided in Internation Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) document
7920–AN/865/2, Aerodrome Manual, Part 2, “Aerodrome Physical
Characteristics”, Second Edition, 1965.

The flexible pavement charts in Section 7.6.1 show LCN against

equivalent single wheel load, and equivalent single wheel load against
pavement thickness.
The rigid pavement charts in Section 7.8.2 show LCN against equivalent
single wheel load, and equivalent single wheel load against radius of
relative stiffness.
Section 7.9 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

airplane/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 equal to or less than 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.
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 :

7.8.3 Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of E and μ)

– A310–200 Models – A310–300 Models
The table “Radius of Relative Stiffness” of Chapter 7.8.1 presents L

values based on Young’s Modulus (E) of 4 000 000 psi and Poisson’s Ratio
(μ) of 0.15.
To find L values based on other values of E and μ,

See Section 7.8.4 “Radius of Relative Stiffness”.
For example, to find an L value based on an E of 3 000 000 psi, the “E”
factor of 0.931 is multiplied by the L value found in the table “Radius of
Relative Stiffness” of Section 7.8.1. “Radius of Relative Stiffness”.
The effect of variations of μ on the L value is treated in a similar

manner.

To find the ACN of an aircraft on flexible or rigid pavement, the aircraft

gross weight and the subgrade strength must be known.
For an Aircraft Gross Weight of 110 000 kg (242 500 lb) and low subgrade
strength (code B), the ACN for the flexible pavement is 29.
For an Aircraft Gross Weight 110 000 kg (242 500 lb) and low subgrade
strength (code B), the ACN for the rigid pavement is 30.
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.
