Cockpit Indication Philosophy
This topic presents the cockpit lights, colors and P/Bs philosophy.
"LIGHTS OUT" Philosophy

The concentration of system controls on the overhead panel is achieved by an extensive use of illuminated pushbutton
(P/B) directly installed on the system synoptic panel.
In normal flight operation, no annunciator lights are illuminated in the cockpit. This is called the "lights out" philosophy or
"dark cockpit" concept. In case of a system failure, or if a system is in an abnormalconfiguration for flying, its related P/Bs are
illuminated.

LEVEL III - ATA 00-00-00 GENERAL INFORMATION COCKPIT I NDICATION PHILOSOPHY – “LIGHTS OUT” PHILOSOPHY

A380 B1
Cockpit Indication Philosophy (continued)
Annunciator Light Color Philosophy
The illuminated P/Bs and annunciators are of different colors according to their function:
• A red light indicates a failure requiring an immediate action of the flight crew members.

• An amber light is used to designate a failure needing awareness but no immediate action of the flight crew.
• White color is used to show an abnormal position of the P/B, and to indicate a system activated for maintenance
operation.
• Green symbolizes availability of a backup system.
• Blue indicates normal operation of a temporarily used back-up system.

LEVEL III - ATA 00-00-00 GENERAL INFORMATION C OCKPIT I NDICATION P HILOSOPHY – ANNUNCIATOR L IGHT C OLOR PHILOSOPHY

A380 B1
Cockpit Indication Philosophy (continued)
P/B Principle
Status and failure indications are integrated whenever possible into the relevant illuminated P/B which must be
operated for corrective action.

• Dual stable positions P/B:
Most of the illuminated P/Bs have two stable positions: pressed inand released out. In normal operation, they are
pressed in and lighted out. However, when pressed in, a fault annunciator light may be lit in case of failure. When
released out, the related system is deactivated and the "OFF" light is on. Note that in some other cases, when released
out, an alternate system is activated.
• Single stable position P/B:
A second type of P/B with a single spring loaded stable position (released out) is generally used for back-up systems,
deactivated in normal flight operation. As a consequence, in normal configuration,they are released out and lighted out.
However, in this configuration, if the related back-up system is ready to be activated an annunciator light comes on. Then,
when depressed, an other annunciator light comes on to confirm the backup system activation.

Control Panels Technology
This topic presents the conventional technology panels (VU) and the newtechnology ones (VM).
VU and VM Philosophy

The A380 introduces a new generation of cockpit control panels called Integrated Control Panels (ICPs).
As for the previous concept, the ICPs let the crew be informed aboutthe A/C systems status, and control these
systems for selection, and activation/deactivation, etc...
The ICPs novelty is that they supply the crew with an A/C systems interface mixing digital and non-digital technologies.
This concept reduces weight by using less wiring and improves maintainability due to a better reliability.
Note that the ICP non -digital technology is dedicated as a design rule to signals related to direct controlled items.
In addition, conventional control panels (VUs), based on mature non-digital technology, are still used in the cockpit.
Note that the ICPs are also called "VMs".

Cockpit Paperless Philosophy
One of the main innovations of the A380 is that the paper documentation has been replaced by an electronic library.
This library supplies the flight crew with the ability to easily find relevant operational information in the:
• Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM),

• The Flight Manual (FM),
• The Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL),
• And the Configuration Deviation List (CDL).
Moreover it gives the access to information related to the mission, the communication and the performances computation,
aiming at reducing the flight crew workload. Through this electronic library, the electronic logbook is accessible by both flight
and maintenance crewmembers. The E-library hosts also the AirN@v application, which gives the crew a direct access to most
of electronic maintenance manuals.

Cockpit Onboard Information System Display
The function of the Onboard Information Systems (OIS) is to improve airline operations and its passenger services.
Indeed, the OIS reduces flight crew workload, makes easy maintenance operations and gives large customizable

commercial services.
The flight crew accesses the OIS by using the OITs.
The Maintenance crew mainly accesses the OIS through the OMT. Maintenance documentation and applications are
also accessible through the Portable Maintenance Terminal (PMAT) or the OITs.
Note that a user name and password are required to get access to the OIS as an administrator

ATA iSpec 2200
A380 Airbus technical documentation is based on the ATA iSpec 2200. The ATA ispec 2200 is a global aviation industry
standard for the content, structure, and electronic exchange of aircraft engineering, maintenance,and flight operation
information.
The ATA iSpec 2200 includes the ATA Spec 100 and the ATA Spec 2100

The ATA Spec 100 structures the documentation by numbering aircraft systems. That means that all documentation has a
breakdown as follows:
• ATA 05 12 Aircraft General,

• ATA 20 50 Airframe,
• ATA 51 57 Structure,
• ATA70 80 Power Plant.
The ATA Spec 2100 defines the electronic formatting standards for example:
• The text standard (SGML),

• The graphic standard (CGM),
• The 3D animation standard (VRML).
The A380 technical documentation is developed for the AirN@vapplication.

Manuals Customization
The Technical Documentation has customized and non-customized manuals. A customized manual contains only the
information applicable to a particular airline or a group of operators, while a non-customized manual contains information
applicable to all airlines: applicable to all Airbus products (generic), or for one aircraft type family (envelope).
• As an example, the customized manuals are:
• The Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM),

• The Trouble Shooting Manual (TSM),
• The Illustrated Part Catalogue (IPC),
• The Aircraft Schematic Manual (ASM),
• The Aircraft Wiring Manual (AWM),
• The Aircraft Wiring List (AWL).
The Structural Repair Manual (SRM) is a non-customized and envelope manual,
The Electrical Standard Practices Manual (ESPM) is a non-customized and generic manual.
Main Manuals for Line Maintenance

The main maintenance manuals are: the AMM, TSM, IPC, PIPC, ASM, AWM, AWL, and ESPM.
All these manuals are available on board through AirN@v Maintenance.
The often-used manuals for Line maintenance are also:

• The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) available on board through the Flight Operation consultation Tool (FOCT),
• The Structural Repair Manual (SRM) available through AirN@v Repair,
• The Consumable Material List (CML) available through AirN@vAssociated Data, and
• The Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) available through AirN@v Workshop.

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks
Maintenance checks are composed of:
• Scheduled maintenance tasks and checks, and

• Unscheduled maintenance checks.

Chapter 05-20-00 "Life Limits and Maintenance Checks" is now covered in the Maintenance Planning Document (MPD).
The MPD is the repository document for all repetitive scheduled maintenance tasks promulgated by Airworthiness
Directives (AD/CN), All Operator Telex (AOT), Inspection Service Bulletins (ISB), Service Information Letters (SIL),
and Modifications (MOD/SB) and analyzed under the Maintenance Review Board (MRB).
Chapter 05-50-00 includes the maintenance checks that you must do when a flight crew mentions abnormal flight conditions.
Such maintenance actions are divided into two categories of information:
• Inspections,
• Checks.

Scheduled Maintenance / MPD
The main objective of the MPD document (available through AirN@v) is to give maintenance planning information
necessary for each operator to develop a customized maintenance program.
Airbus gives to airlines the Maintenance Planning Document (MPD), which is neither a controlling document nor an approved
document.

The main objective of this document is to give maintenance intervals figures to take into consideration by each operator
in order to develop a customized scheduled maintenance program.
In the absence of related in-service experience for similar design and testdata, the proposed initial intervals can be based on the
following interval framework, which is intended as guidance material:
• 750 FH / 1.5 months,

• 1500 FH / 3 months,
• 3000 FH / 6 months,
• 6000 FH / 12 months,
• 24 months and 48 months,
• 72 months,
• 144 months.
To make the interval selection process easier, intermediate intervals stepscan be determined; these intermediate steps can be
multiples of 250 FH for intervals below 1500 FH, and multiples of 500 FH for intervals above 1500 FH.
Note that letter intervals are no more applicable on the A380 program; all intervals are quoted in aircraft use parameters (FH,
FC, Calendar). Each operator according to his maintenance policy and aircraft actualoperation has more flexibility to develop his
own maintenance checks.

AIRMAN
AIRMAN stands for Aircraft Maintenance Analysis. The AIRMAN Application is a dedicated tool to optimize the treatment
of unscheduled maintenance events and to make easy a wide range of maintenance activities.
For the Gate maintenance activities, the AIRMAN tool:

• Gives a direct access to Flight Report, the TSM, the TFU, SIL extracts and Airline Engineering Technical Notes while the
A/C is still in flight,
• Gives also the fault history.
For the hangar maintenance activities, the AIRMAN tool is also capable of analyzing the aircraft's fault history and
prioritizing preventive maintenance actions, minimizing:
• Pilot reports,
• Departure delays.
As a result, AIRMAN offers:
• The optimization of the maintenance workload,

• The increase of dispatch reliability,
• The reduction of maintenance costs.
AIRMAN will be delivered as a basic feature with the A380.

thanks to digital links with the A/C systems, ground database and digital documentation, plus customization and computation
capability.
The electronic Logbook supports the following aircraft oriented processes:

• -Flight data reporting such as Pre-flight and post-flight reports
- Defect reporting by the maintenance, cabin and flight crew.
• -Maintenance action reporting
• -Servicing actions reporting
• -Aircraft Maintenance release report.
• -Check aircraft status
• consult any data logged in the past (History report)
• follow-up of deferred maintenance actions

eLogbook Profiles
There are mainly three user's profiles to access the elogbook to read and write reports:
- flight crew profile, to get access to the technical logbook,
- cabin crew profile, to get access to the digital cabin logbook,
- maintenance profile, to get access to the maintenance logbook.

On-board or on-ground maintenance will log in under this profile. All three user's profiles share a common database, which is
synchronize d with AIRMAN database on ground. Inside the AIRMAN database, there is a part dedicated to logbook data.
AIRMAN is used as a ground tool and is the legal repository of Logbook data.

eLogbook Architecture
The Technical and Maintenance Logbook applications run in the cockpit terminals (OITs and OMT) and will exchange data with
the server (ANSU-OPS1&2).
The Digital Cabin Logbook application runs in the server (ANSU-OPS 1&2).

FAP is the cabin logbook interface. Pilot, cabin and on-board maintenance can simultaneously write in the e -logbook database,
which is included into the OMS shared database.
All profiles have a complete access to the e -Logbook database, except for Digital Cabin Logbook, which has a limited access.
Thus, the Private Logbook Views database includes only cabin itemsand all cabin-visible logbook entries.
All DCL data is stored in the Digital Cabin Logbook Private Database. Logbook defects data is sent to the CMS.
Technical and Maintenance Logbooks retrieve data from the different OMS applications through their dat
abases.
From the CMS the following information is retrieved:

- information about the tests done for a Logbook entry
- information about a documentation access done for a Logbook entry
- the Flight Deck and Cabin Effects (FDCE) displayed during the flight
- and information about the flights. P/N and FIN data for dataloading of logbook items are retrieved from the DLCS.
MEL dispatch conditions are retrieved from the MEL.

eLogbook Data Exchange and Synchronization
Data exchange between eLogbook and AIRMAN database is done to update the eldest database with the differences added to
the last updated database. This communication process is done manually or automatically depending on the type of exchanged
information.
During flight, eLogbook control is always on-board. Pilots and cabin crew can enter and validate defects. Pilot or cabin profiles
can trigger a manual download of information, that means send data to AIRMAN database, by clicking on "Synchro ground"

icon.
If pilots find a defect after closing the flight or before aircraft acceptance, they can enter, validate and finally send it to AIRMAN
database by clicking on "Synchro ground" icon. ELogbook control should previously be on -board.
On-board maintenance can manually transfer the maintenance actions report by clicking on "Logbook Synchro" icon via OMS.
ELogbook control should previously be on-board. An automatic sending of the last updates brought on the e-logbook database
is triggered on the A/C in case of opening/closing flight and when the maintenance release is done on-board.
Close Flight data contain post flight parameters, validated defects not sent during flight and the pilot's signature. When pilot
closes the flight, he is asked if he wants to release or keep control.
On-board maintenance will validate and sign the maintenance release report, which contains certificate status, flight data,
employee ID/signature, maintenance entries and list of maintenance actions.
After sending it, on-board maintenance can keep or release elogbook control. After on-board maintenance closes the eLogbook
and CMS applications, elogbook control is automatically released.
Opening Flight data contain acceptance, pre-flight data and pilot's signature. Then an acknowledgement is sent from ground
database to the A/C, indicating that ground maintenance did receive the A/C acceptance sent by the pilot.

REV 1 Issue: May’09 Page 135 of 147
A380 B1
Ground maintenance cannot trigger information upload, from AIRMAN database to eLogbook database. Once ground
maintenance ends the updates and changes under the Logbook data of AIRMAN database, should release control, thus pilots,
cabin crew or on-board maintenance will be able to upload modifications into eLogbook database by triggering synchronization.
At any moment on-board profiles can get the latest updates by clicking on "Synchro ground" or "Logbook Synchro" icon, this
action will upload the latest information without retrieving control from ground maintena nce.
When the maintenance release is done by on-ground maintenance through AIRMAN, on-ground maintenance is asked if they
want to keep or release elogbook control. Maintenance Release data exchange from AIRMAN database to elogbook database

waits until synchronization is triggered by any on-board profile.
Meanwhile control is on-board; on-ground maintenance through AIRMAN cannot enter, validate or modify any operational entry.
They can only visualize them. For example, if ground maintenance needs to enternew work orders after control being lost, it
must contact on-board maintenance (using VHF or GSM for instance) and ask them to release control.
For this, on-board maintenance will release control of the A/C by quitting eLogbook and CMS.

Functional Overview
AIRMAN is a ground-based software dedicated to the identification and the management of unscheduled maintenance. AIRMAN
receives and analyses the aircraft status information generated by the Onboard Maintenance System (OMS) and also eLogbook
data.
The information is automatically transmitted to the ground by the aircraft's communication system. These information sources

are synthesized, combined with Airbus's and the Airline's own technical documentation and presented through a user- friendly
interface.
Aircraft status information is sent to AIRMAN while the aircraft is both in flight and on ground. Message analysis also takes place
in real-time.
These capabilities maximize the time available for appropriate maintenance actions to be determined and preparations to be
made.
AIRMAN is capable of analyzing an aircraft's fault history and consequently identifying and prioritizing preventive maintenance
actions.
