Airbus A380 Technical Training Manual (TTM)Full DocumentNew VersionThe first A380 technical manual, the "Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning," was released this month. It can be consulted and/or downloaded from the A380 Family page on Airbus' web site at www.airbus.com. This is the first time a technical manual of this nature has been made available so early, some three years before the first flight of the aircraft.The Airplane Characteristics manual provides specific A380 data needed by airport authorities and planners to support the operation of the A380 within their airports. Data such as airplane dimensions, take off and landing distances, terminal operations data, taxiing, parking and pavement loading requirements are provided for the A380-800 and A380-800F, the passenger and freighter versions of the A380.Airbus has been working with planning teams from 50 major airports in five continents to ensure smooth handling of the A380 when it enters service in 2006 and the Airplane Characteristics manual is a major support for this.Following release of this first manual and up to entry into service of the A380, Airbus will deliver a full range of technical data for the maintenance, engineering, material support and flight operations departments of A380 airline customers. Technical data for the A380 will be available in electronic format according to the most recent aviation industry standards, which are more efficient and user friendly. They will be accessible through Airbus On Line Services, the Airbus portal for Customer Support.

  • L/GS EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM (LGERS) PRES.General

    The Landing Gear Extension and Retraction System (LGERS) controlsand monitors the extension and retraction of the Landing Gear (L/G).The system is divided into three sub-systems:- the normal extension and retraction system,- the free fall extension system,- the Ground Door Opening system (GDO)The normal extension and retraction system extends and retracts the L/Gin normal operation. The system is electrically controlled andhydraulically operated.The green hydraulic system provides the hydraulic power to the NLGand WLG gear and doors operation.The yellow hydraulic system provides the hydraulic power to the BLGand doors operation.A L/G control lever is used to start extension or retraction.If the normal extension and retraction system is not available the gravityassisted landing gear extension can be made using the free fall system.The free fall system is electrically controlled and operated. A Switch isused to make the necessary extend selection.The ground door opening system is operated on the ground from outsidethe aircraft for access to the landing gear bays for maintenance.Five ground door-opening handles adjacent to the landing gear baysoperate the doors.

  • L/GS EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM (LGERS) PRES.Free Fall Extension

    In the event, that the normal system is not available to deploy the landinggear, the free fall system is an alternative and independent system thatreleases the gears and doors from their uplocks.The Free Fall System is independent of the Integrated Modular Avionics(IMA) environment.This independence makes sure that a failed normal system cannot preventthe free fall system.The system is activated from a dedicated free fall switch, situated on theinstrument panel in the cockpit.The Emergency Extension operating sequence is controlled by a FreeFall Control Module (FFCM), which is a dual system.To Perform a free fall extension, the FFCM has to:- Isolate the hydraulic supply pressure from the landing gear hydrauliccircuits, this is achieved by a Cut out Valves.There is a Cut out Valve for each gear group (NLG, WLG and BLG):-To allow free flow between the ports of gear and door actuators, this isachieved by a Vent Valve.There is a Vent Valve for each individual gear bay (NLG, L WLG, RWLG, L BLG and R BLG):- To release gear and door uplocks, such that the gears and doors can fallunder gravity.An independent landing gear position indicator lights will show whenthe landing gears are downlocked if normal indication given by LGCISis affected.

  • L/GS EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM (LGERS) PRES.Ground Door Opening (GDO) SystemEach landing gear bay doors are independently operated by the GroundDoor Opening (GDO) System.Door opening and closing operations are done by means of a door-openinglever, installed on the GDO panel, adjacent to each landing gear bay.When the aircraft is on the ground, the normal Landing GearExtension/Retraction System maintains the operated doors in their closedand locked position.To allow door opening, first, the respective hydraulic door actuator isisolated from the LGERS hydraulic circuit,This is achieved by using a Bypass Valve, that connects extend and retractports of the door actuator together and blocks the door close pressureline.There is one Bypass Valve per individual door(s) operation.Following the door actuator isolation, the door uplock is unlocked andthe door opens under gravity.Closing the door is accomplished in reverse order by resetting the dooruplock actuator, followed by a reset of the Bypass Valve Actuator. Systemreset returns control to the normal operating system.Resetting the GDO System is only possible if hydraulic pressure isavailable to immediately close the landing gear door.

  • BRAKE SYSTEM PRESENTATIONGeneral

    The Braking Control System (BCS) supplies aircraft retardation duringlanding, taxi and in case of a Rejected Take Off.The nose gear and the aft axles of the body gears do not have brakesinstalled.The braking orders are generated by the auto brake system, the brakepedals and the parking brake handle.The BCS has five modes of operation, normal, alternate, emergency,ultimate and the parking brake.The yellow hydraulic pressure is used for the Body Landing Gear (BLG)and green is used for the Wing Landing Gear (WLG).Hydraulic power for the alternate, emergency, ultimate and parking brakeis supplies by Local electro-Hydraulic Generator Systems (LEHGS)through the alternate circuit, one LEHGS for the BLG and one LEHGSfor the WLG.The BCS function is hosted in the Central Processing and Input OutputModule (CPIOM), which controls and monitors the braking.The emergency braking is controlled by the Emergency Brake ControlUnit (EBCU).Brake indications and warning are given by the BCS in the CPIOMthrough the ECAM.In the following topic, the braking modes will be presented on BLG, butare applicable to the WLG as well, except for the parking brake, whichonly acts on the BLG and the ultimate braking which is different for theBLG and the WLG.

  • BRAKE SYSTEM PRESENTATIONNormal Braking

    The control of the Braking Control System (BCS) is managed by tworedundant systems side one and two, comprised of Core ProcessingInput/Output Modules (CPIOMs) and Remote Data Concentrators (RDCs).The normal braking mode includes the following functions:- Pedal braking,- Auto brake,- Antiskid- Retraction braking.The normal braking circuit draws hydraulic power from the centralisedaircraft hydraulic system. Two valves in series are used to control thepressure in the circuit.The first valve is an isolation valve, named the Normal Brake SelectorValve (NBSELV), the valve isolates the hydraulic power supply fromthe rest of the braking circuit. The NBSELV is controlled by the CPIOMs.The second valve is the Normal Servo Valve (NSV) whose function isto control pressure to the demanded level and to supply regulation forthe Anti-Skid function. Each NSV controls the two brakes fitted to anaxle.The NSV is controlled by the CPIOMs via the Remote Data Concentrators(RDC).The auto brake can be used during landing or during a Rejected Take Off(RTO).Brakes indications and warning are given by the CPIOMs through theECAM.

    Alternate Braking

    If the normal braking fails, the alternate braking takes over.The alternate braking mode includes the following functions:- Pedal braking- Auto braking

    The Alternate circuit maintains a similar hydraulic valve layout to theNormal circuit, with an Alternate Brake Selector Valve (ABSELV) placedin series with an Alternate Servo Valve (ASV).The ABSELV is commanded by the CPIOMs and the ASV by theCPIOMs through RDCs.The hydraulic power is supplied by a Local Electro-Hydraulic GenerationSystem (LEHGS), which works in unison with an accumulator to meetthe pressure and flow requirements of the Alternate circuit.A Bogie Shuttle Valve selects the highest pressure from the Normal andAlternate circuits.The CPIOMs give brakes indications and warnings through the ECAM.

    Emergency Braking

    If BCS function is lost, the Emergency Brake Control Unit (EBCU) isengaged to control the emergency braking with pedals orders only andlimited braking pressure.The EBCU uses the alternate hydraulic circuit and controls the ABSELVand ASV.

    The parking brake function is available only for the BLG wheels bymeans of additional circuit and valves.The Parking Brake Selector Valve (PBSELV) commanded by the parkbrake switch is placed in parallel with the ABSELV, and the twosub-circuits are joined via a Shuttle Valve.The shuttle valve moves over to let the highest pressure supply the servicelines.Normal and Alternate braking circuits remain active during and afterapplication of Parking Brake.An accumulator reinflate switch adjacent to the park brake switch operatesthe BLG LEHGS to pressurize the BLG accumulators.A triple gauge is installed on the main instrument panel.In normal operation the triple gauge is used when operating the parkbrakes: the gauge will show the lowest BLG accumulator pressure on theupper needle and the left and right BLG brake pressures on the lowerneedles.During emergency the lower needles will show WLG brake pressure toassist the pilot in these braking modes.

    The Alternate Refilling Valve (ARV) is used to replenish the WLG andBLG accumulators and reservoirs, from the aircraft hydraulic circuit.They are commanded open once per flight cycle only, after engine start.Each ARV is controlled independently by the CPIOMs and is commandedopen if the accumulator pressure is below a defined pressure, or theLEHGS reservoir is not in the full condition.

    Brake Temperature Monitoring System (BTMS)The brake temperature sensors monitor the temperature of the sixteenbrake packs and send the information to the CPIOMs through LGRDC.

    The CPIOMs compute and supply an alert to the flight and maintenancecrew when one or several brake temperatures are outside defined limits.

  • LANDING GEAR MAINTENANCE (1)Landing Gear Safety Items

    When you work on the landing gear system, make sure that you obey allthe AMM safety procedures. This will prevent injury to persons and/ordamage to the aircraft. Here is an overview of main safety precautionsrelative to the landing gear system.Unwanted electrical or hydraulic power can be dangerous.When you perform any maintenance task, make sure that all circuits areisolated.When you tow or pushback the aircraft, you have to be aware that theaircraft will change its position and can cause injury to persons or killthem. During towing or pushback you have to keep a safety area of threemeters around nose wheels, towbar and tow tractor.When you are working on wheels and brakes, not applying the appropriateprocedures may lead to a tire explosion.Before working on hot wheels and brakes, let them cool, do not applygas or liquid on it, and decrease tire pressure before wheel removal.Movement of landing gear and door can cause injury and or damage.Before you work on or near the landing gear and door, be sure that theground safety device and warning notices are in position.Some components are heavy; it can cause injury to persons and damageto equipment.By consequence, the component removal/installation tasks require specifictooling that must be used.Compressed gas is dangerous, it can go through you skin and createsbubble in your blood and kill you.High-pressure air and carbon dust can damage your eyes and lungs.Therefore wear all necessary protection equipments.

  • LANDING GEAR MAINTENANCE (1)Landing Gear Ground Support Equipment

    Some landing gear maintenance tasks require Ground Support Equipment(GSE).As an example, a GSE used for landing gear maintenance is the wheelchange jacking tool.This tool is used to lift the gear during a wheel change.The A380 requires a specific 137 Tonnes jack spherical with a strokelimitation of 250 mm. This is to prevent airframe over load at high aircraftweight above 400 Tonnes.The A380 jacking dome is type V opposed to the A330/A340, which istype IV.Refer to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) for the tasks.Also, refer to the illustrated Tool and Equipment Manual (TEM) for thecomplete list of the tools.
