COMPOSITE STRUCTURES
The basic A/C structure is made of aluminum alloys with stainless
steel and titanium alloys in specific areas
Composite materials are used for primary and secondary structure.

Composite materials represent about 15% of the A/C structural
weight. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is mainly used for
primary structures, whilst Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastic (AFRP)
and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) are only used for
secondary structures.

COCKPIT PHILOSOPHY Some pushbuttons have stable position released out
When pushed, they send control signal to the system

Lights out philosophy
Some pushbuttons have only one stable position:
No lights in cockpit in normal operation
 released out.
In normal operation (in flight), no lights come on in the cockpit. This
is called the 'lights out philosophy. When pushed, they send a control signal to the system.
Pushbuttons pressed in and released out
Each position is related to a control signal sent to a system
Most of the illuminated pushbuttons have two stable positions:

pressed in and released out, each position is related to a control
signal sent to a system.

TURNING RADII
The different turning radii are shown on a steering diagram. "Y" is the
distance between the centerline of the A/C 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.
"Y" is the distance between centerline of the A/C and center of turn

Access doors and panels are identified by the number of the zone in
which the panel is installed followed by a two letter suffix. These two
letters are used to indicate the doors and panels. The first letter
indicates which access door or panel it is, starting from the reference
axis (A=first, B=second, ..., G=seventh, etc...). The second letter
indicates the access door or panel location:
 T=top (upper) surface,
 B=bottom (lower) surface,

the LH side and RH side is identified by the last digit (Tens digit: odd

JACKING
GENERAL
Three jacking points, when equipped with jacking pads, are used to
lift the aircraft. The forward jacking point "A" is located forward of the
nose landing gear. The jacking points "B" are located outboard of the
engine pylons. A safety stay must be positioned at the rear of the
aircraft after jacking to stabilize the aircraft. You can lift the aircraft at
the forward jacking point only, with the wheels of the main landing
gear on the ground.
When the aircraft is weighed on landing gear jacks the following

jacking points must be used to lift it.
 jacking points located in the main landing gear,
 jacking point located in the nose landing gear.
LIMITATIONS
The open air jacking operation is limited if the wind velocity exceeds
permissible values which depend on aircraft gross weight and center
of gravity position. In any condition, the aircraft must be pointing
upwind.
PRECAUTIONS
Before lifting the aircraft, you must be sure that the ground safety-
locks are in position on the landing gears and the weight of fuel is
applied equally on the two sides of the aircraft centerline. The three
jacks have to be operated together. As soon as the jacking operation
is finished, position the safety stay to stabilize the aircraft.
CAUTION: Do not use the safety stay (aft point) to

lift the aircraft.
JACKING POINTS
Jacking pads have to be used under the jacking points to spread the
loads.

WEIGHING
You can weigh the aircraft with:

 the aircraft on jacks,
 the aircraft on its wheels,
 the aircraft on landing gear jacks.
Load cells on each jack or platform scales are used for weighing.
QUICK LEVELING PROCEDURE WITH THE ADIRU
First, follow the Inertial Reference (IR) alignment procedure. Then on

the MCDU scratchpad the alpha call-up code has to be entered:
 PTCH for the pitch angle to do a check of the longitudinal
alignment,
 ROLL for the roll angle to do a check of the transverse
alignment.
To start this procedure, first of all the aircraft must be lifted. After
that, read the pitch and roll angles in the MCDU AIDS alpha call-up.
Then operate the hydraulic jack below the wing to get the transverse
alignment.
Then operate the forward hydraulic jack to get the longitudinal

alignment.
When you have done the longitudinal alignment, do a check of the

transverse alignment.

DANGER AREAS
Safety precautions must be taken to avoid danger from engine

suction and exhaust areas. Access to the engine is only allowed
through the entry corridor. Note that the entry corridor must be
closed for wind directions greater than 90º. There is no safe access
corridor when the engine is running above minimum idle. Depending
on the distance from the running engine and on its power setting, it is
necessary to wear ear protection and to respect the maximum time
exposure.

The purpose of mooring is to prevent damage to the aircraft on the

ground in high wind conditions.
For wind speeds less than 50 kts:

 mooring is not necessary if the aircraft configuration is in
the limits given in chapter 05-57-00.
If the aircraft points into the wind and wind speed is:
 between 50 and 70 kts, moor the aircraft at the NLG,
 more than 70 kts, moor the aircraft at the NLG and MLG.
If the aircraft does not point into the wind or the direction of the wind
is not stable:
 for wind speeds or gusts more than 50 kts, moor the
aircraft at the NLG and the MLG.
