A330

:PREPARED BY
SHIREEN MOHAMMED TAHER
General : The A330-200 is a medium to long range, twin-aisle,
.subsonic, civil transport aircraft
Engines : The aircraft has two high bypass, turbofan engines, ‐
.mounted underneath the wings
Maximum operating altitude : 41, 100 ft
Cockpit : The cockpit is arranged for a two-member crew. It ‐
.also has a place for two observers
: Cabin ‐
The passenger seating layout may be varied to suit operating •
requirements, up to a certified
.maximum of 406 seats
Any combination of cabin crew seats may be provided, with a •
minimum of 9 imperative seats
The fly-by-wire control system was designed and certificated to render the new generation of
aircraft
.safer, more cost effective, and more pleasant to fly, or ride in, than a conventional aircraft
BASIC PRINCIPLE
: All flight control surfaces are
,Electrically controlled ‐
.Hydraulically activated ‐
.The stabilizer and rudder can also be controlled mechanically
The pilots use the sidesticks to fly the aircraft in pitch and roll (and in yaw, indirectly, through turn
.)coordination
Computers interpret pilot inputs and move the flight control surfaces, as necessary, to carry out
.these orders
: However, regardless of the pilot's inputs, computers prevent
,Excessive maneuvers ‐
.Flight outside the safe-flight envelope ‐
: The landing gear is comprised of
Two main landing gear assemblies, mounted ‐
in the wings, and retracting sideways into the
; fuselage
A nose landing gear, mounted under the ‐
.nose, and retracting forwards into the fuselage
 : The A330 is equipped with
.Type "A" passengers crew doors (4 on each side) 8 ‐
.cockpit window exits (1 on each side) 2 ‐
.avionic compartment door 1 ‐

"The passenger crew doors located in the FWD, MID and aft sections of the cabin are Type "A
.exits. They are normally used to embark/disembark passengers, and to service the aircraft
All doors are operated by interior and exterior handles. They are equipped with an evacuation •
.device, and become emergency exits in the event of an evacuation
.The cockpit window exits are sliding windows. They can only be opened from the inside •
The avionic compartment door is installed in a pressurized area on the bottom of the fuselage. •
.The door can either be opened from the inside or the outside

 EMERGENCY LIGHTING
The emergency lighting system is a part of the cabin lighting system. It is
integrated in the Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS). If the
standard aircraft power supply is not available, the emergency lighting
system is able to operate independently from the aircraft systems for at
.least 10 min
:The emergency lighting system has different functions
:In standard operation .1
It shows the way to the exits to leave the aircraft ‐
:In an emergency .2
It illuminates the cabin, if the general illumination does not operate ‐
It shows the way to the exits to leave the aircraft, if the cabin is full of ‐
smoke
.It illuminates the escape slides ‐

 WATER AND WASTE
WATER TANKS
Location .1
:Three water tanks are on board of the aircraft
Capacity .2
.Each tank has a usable capacity of 350 l (92 US Gal)
.This is a total capacity of 1 050 l (276 US Gal)
WATER SUPPLY
The pressurization of the water system is achieved with compressed air. This makes
.sure that the water flows from the water tanks to the galleys and lavatories
MANUAL WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE
Manual water shut-off valves are installed in each wet galley: Shut-Off
Valve in each lavatory. The water supply stops, when the manual water shut-off
valves are closed
WASTEWATER DRAINAGE
General .1
The wastewater from the galley sinks and
lavatory wash basins is discarded overboard
through the FWD and AFT heated drain masts
Description .2
Lavatories ‐
Drain Assy ‐
The drain assy is installed at the bottom of the
.wash basin and is connected to its overflow
Drain Valve ‐
The drain valve is installed below the drain assy
in the wastewater line of the lavatory. It
lets the wastewater drain to the drain masts
and stops the leakage of air pressure through
.the drain mast
Galleys ‐ WASTE TANKS
Drain Valve ‐ Location .1
The drain valve is installed below the sink in waste tanks are on board the aircraft located 2
the wastewater line of the galleys. It lets the .behind the bulk cargo compartment
wastewater drain to the drain masts and stops Capacity .2

LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTION
LOCATION
One smoke detector is installed in each
lavatory extraction duct
OPERATION
If smoke enters into the measuring chamber of
the detector a smoke warning signal is
transmitted to the Cabin Intercommunication
Data System (CIDS). The integrated Smoke
Detection Function (SDF) of the CIDS initiates
:following indications/warnings in the cabin
On the FAP (Flight Attendant Panel) or ‐
related AAP (Additional Attendant Panel) the
red SMOKE warning indication comes on
The amber call light, mounted on the ‐
outside wall of the lavatory, and the amber
light on
The cabin loudspeakers
the related give
ACP (Area Call a predefined
Panel) flash chime (e.g. a triple chime, repeated every 30
s) for a lavatory smoke alert
On each AIP (Attendant Indication Panel), the indication SMOKE LAV XX and the red ‐
.LED comes on
To reset the visual warnings on the
related ACP, AIP as well as the call light
(on the lavatory wall) and to silence the
chime, press the SMOKE RESET on the
FAP or related AAP. The indications on
the FAP stay as long as the smoke is
.detected
If there is no more smoke detected, the
SDF resets all visual and acoustical
.indications automatically
WASTE-BIN FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Location .1
A fire extinguisher is installed above the
.waste bin in each lavatory
Description .2
Each fire extinguisher has these main
:components
A spherical container with a mounting ‐
.bracket
.A discharge tube with a fusible plug ‐
.A pressure gauge ‐
.An identification label ‐
Operation If there is a fire in the waste .3
bin, the fire extinguisher operates
automatically. When the
temperature in the waste bin increases
to approximately 77 °C (170.6 °F.), the
fusible plug installed in the end of the
discharge tube melts and lets the
.agent flow into the waste bin
MANUAL WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE
Location .1
The lavatories have an opposite or
right-angle arrangement of toilet and
.wash basin
In each normal lavatory one manual
.water shut-off valve is installed
In each handicapped lavatory two
manual water shut-off valves are
.installed
Description .2
Through the manual water shut-off
valve you can stop the water supply
in the lavatory. A placard shows to
.the related access door
Operation .3
Open the related access door and
operate the valve(s) to the closed
.position
CAUTION Switch off the water heater after .
the manual water shut-off valve has been
closed. This will prevent the water heater from
heating up while empty and will avoid the risk
of potential hazards

It limits the door travel during ‐
normal operation of the door
.especially in windy conditions
It acts during emergency operation ‐
as an actuator for automatic door
opening. The damper and
the emergency operation cylinder is
operated by compressed nitrogen
which is stored in a cylinder
equipped with a pressure gauge. The
pressure is also checked by the CIDS
and indicated on the
.FAP
The pressurized nitrogen is released ‐
by an actuating device controlled by
.the slide arming lever
Each door is equipped with a damper and an
emergency operation cylinder

The AIPs indicate dial and call information of the PA/Interphone system and other system
.information (e.g. lavatory smoke location, PAX calls, ...) to the attendants
.They are installed at all attendant stations
.The AIPs consist of a two-row alphanumerical display and two indicator lights
The upper row displays communication information (e.g. interphone calls) and the lower
displays
system and emergency information (e.g. direct announcements). Each one has a length of
16
.characters
The two indicator lights (red/green) serve as attention getters and ensure a far reaching

The cabin-fixed chemical oxygen
system supplies oxygen to
occupants, in case of cabin

The oxygen is produced by
chemical generators, and each
generator feeds a group of 2, 3, 4
.or 5 masks
Generator and masks are in
containers, located : Above the
passenger seats, in the
lavatories, in each galley, and at
.each cabin crew station
