Runway Situation
Shoulder Definitions
Definitions contained in :
Ø ICAO Annex 14:

Item 1 A runway shoulder should be prepared or constructed so as to be
capable, in the event of an aeroplane running off the runway, of
supporting the aeroplane without inducing structural damage to
the aeroplane and
Item 2 of supporting ground vehicles which may operate on the shoulder.
Ø ICAO Airport Design Manual:

Item 3 to prevent the ingestion of stones or other objects by turbine engines.
Ø Additional FAA AC 150/5300-13:

Item 4 to protect for jet blast erosion.

This angle is higher for the A380 (11.8°).

For the same visibility angle, the A380 is deviating less far than the 747.
So A380 pilots are aware of the aircraft deviation faster than 747 pilots.

Q These cameras are already fitted on A340-500(optional)/600 aircraft.
Q This system shall be basic on A380.
Q It is considered as an aid for ground manoeuvring. It shall be used in

same conditions as those defined for Aircraft with his limitations
(in day, night, rain, fog, gravel and snow conditions) but has not
to bring better vision than that get by human vision. It excludes
the use of infrared or ultraviolet pictures.
Q It shall not prevent Aircraft from going in case of failure.

1-1 PURPOSE
This A380 AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS (AC) manual is issued for the A380-800
and A380-800F series aircraft to provide preliminary data needed by airport
operators and airlines for airport facilities planning.
The A380-800 is a subsonic, very long range, very high capacity, civil
transport aircraft.
There are two models in the A380-800 series :

– A380-841 model equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 970 engine.
– A380-861 model equipped with Engine Alliance GP 7270 engine.
The A380-800F is a subsonic, very long range, civil freighter aircraft.
There are two models in the A380-800F series :

– A380-843F model equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 977 engine.
– A380-863F model equipped with Engine Alliance GP 7277 engine.
In this manual, effectivity is managed as follows :

– by default, the data is effective for all A380-800 and A380-800F models ;
– ″A380-800/800F models″ indicates that the related data or page is effective
for all A380-800 and A380-800F models ;
– ″A380-800 models″ restricts the effectivity of the related data or page to
the A380-841 and A380-861 models ;
– ″A380-800F models″ restricts the effectivity of the related data or page to
the A380-843F and A380-863F models ;
– the mention of a specific model (e.g. A380-841 model, A380-863F model,
etc.) restricts the effectivity of the related data or page to that
specific model.
This document conforms to NAS 3601.
The data contained in this manual is preliminary data and may be subject to
change.

4-1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section provides airplane 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 guidelines for the method of determination of such
parameters and for the maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In the 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 high risk of jet blast damage.
For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should be coordinated
with the using airlines prior to layout planning.

INTRODUCTION
The Engine Alliance has calculated the engine exhaust velocities and temperatures for the
GP7200 installed on the A380 for the thrust ratings at takeoff, breakaway, taxiing and iddle.
The analysis includes a 20kts headwind, ground plane simulation, and engine-to-engine
proximity effects. The results are presented in the attached figures.
Two kinds of figures are represented:

- above views
- side views
On the above views, airport infrastructure layout is added:

- for idle, taxiing and breakaway ratings, a 23m wide taxiway with taxiway
shoulder strip up to 60m
- for takeoff rating, a 45m wide runway with 2x7.5m wide inner shoulders +
2x7.5m wide outer shoulders
The side views are dealing with the A380 outer engine which is around 4m above the ground.
In order to assess the impact of the A380 inner engine which is around 3m above the ground,
the ground for the inner engine was represented, called “Ground inner”, which is 1m above
the ground for the outer engine.
Two thrust ratings were performed:

- 70K for the A380-800
- 76.5K for the A380-800F and the A380-900

6.0 JET ENGINE WAKE AND NOISE DATA
6.1 Jet Engine Exhaust Velocities and Temperatures
This section shows exhaust velocity and temperature contours aft of the 747-400. The contours were
calculated from a standard computer analysis using three-dimensional viscous flow equations with
mixing of primary, fan, and free-stream flow. The presence of the ground plane is included in the
calculations as well as engine tilt and toe-in. Mixing of flows from the engines is also calculated. The
analysis does not include thermal buoyancy effects which tend to elevate the jet wake above the ground
plane. The buoyancy effects are considered to be small relative to the lateral velocity and therefore are
not included.
The graphs show jet wake velocity and temperature contours for a representative engine . The results are
valid for sea level, static, standard day conditions. The effect of wind on jet wakes was not included.
There is evidence to show that a downwind or an upwind component does not simply add or subtract
from the jet wake velocity, but rather carries the whole envelope in the direction of the wind.
Crosswinds may carry the jet wake contour far to the side at large distances behind the airplane.

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
6.0 JET ENGINE WAKE AND NOISE DATA
6.1 Jet Engine Exhaust Velocities and Temperatures
This section shows exhaust velocity and temperature contours aft of the 777-200LR and 777-300ER.
The contours were calculated from a standard computer analysis using three-dimensional viscous
flow equations with mixing of primary, fan, and free-stream flow. The presence of the ground plane
is included in the calculations as well as engine tilt and toe-in. Mixing of flows from the engines is
also calculated. The analysis does not include thermal buoyancy effects which tend to elevate the
jet wake above the ground plane. The buoyancy effects are considered to be small relative to the
exhaust velocity and therefore are not included.
The graphs show jet wake velocity and temperature contours for a representative engine. The
results are valid for sea level, static, standard day conditions. The effect of wind on jet wakes was
not included. There is evidence to show that a downwind or an upwind component does not simply
add or subtract from the jet wake velocity, but rather carries the whole envelope in the direction of
the wind. Crosswinds may carry the jet wake contour far to the side at large distances behind the
airplane.
