Introduction ETOPS
TheA31O takesadvantages of extensively proven technologyand The A31 0 equipped with either GE CF6-80 series,PWJTSD-7 R4 widebody, twin-engine configuration to provide airlines with 200- series or PW 4000 series engines and the additional installation of seat aircraft which is equally at home on shortlmedium or extended a standby generator*) and an adapted cargo fire suppression ranges. system*) makes the aircraft fully ETOPS equipped.
Certification for 180 minutes to an adequate airport was achieved A high technology level in all areascontributes to the effectiveness in 1990. of the A31 0. This is particularly evident in the advanced flight deck, systems and systems monitoring, together with innovations in structure and aerodynamics.
Twoversions are available :the basicA310-200 and the extended range A31 0-300. Each is available in all-passenger and passenger1 freight convertible form (A31 OC). This family of aircraft, complemented by the larger A300-600, combines widebody versatility, twin-engine cost-effectiveness and performance capability, to create a firm basis for profitable operations.

Electrical system
A310 electrical - aeneration
The electrical power generation system comprises : * three batteries, nominal capacity 25 Ah each :
* two engine-driven AC generators, nominal power 90 kVA - to provide on ground an autonomous source mainly for APU starting
* one auxiliary power unit (APU) AC generator nominal power - to feed some DC-powered equipment during transient pha- 90 kVA, start envelope up to FL 41 0 ses.
driven by green hydraulic system (optional for A31 0-200)
* one ground connector, power 90 kVA
DC network supplied via three identical TransformerIRectifier Units (TRU) :
- two of them are normally used - one is used in case of TR1 or TR2 failure
ectrical distribution
Split bus AC system in normal configuration
Each main generator supplies one channel which comprises essentially one main AC busbar and, via one main TRU, one main DC busbar.
In case of loss of one enginedriven generator, its associated circuits are automatically connected to the other one (with partial shedding of galley loads), or to the APU generator (if operating).
If the APU is running, the APU generator takes over automatically AC supply of generator 1 or generator 2 in the event of failure.
In case of loss of both engine-driven generators and if the APU generator is not available, the standby generator supplies all systems necessary for flight continuation.

A31 0 electrical - circuit breaker location
Two types of circuit breakers :
- primary, to protect electrical busbars and some generation circuits
- secondary, to protect various aircraft systems.
Circuit breaker location :
- primary circuit breakers, in the electronics bay
- secondary circuit breakers, in the cockpit - rear wall maintenance panel - overhead panel.
On ground when a circuit breaker is tripped (which does not lead to an indicator flap or warning) the system monitoring "CIB monitorw on ECAM DU 1 will alert the crew.

@ A31 0 standby generator
Installation of the standby generator makes the electrical system independant of aircraft batteries (i.e. there is no time limit in case of loss of main generators).
This 1 15Vl400 Hz/5 kVA AC - 28 Vl50 A DC generator is driven by a hydraulic motor which is powered by the green hydraulic system (constant speed motorlgenerator).
After loss of both engine-driven generators and the APU generator, the following functions remain available with the standby generator : - trim (3-axis)
- artificial pitch feel
- rudder travel limitation
- one fuel pump per innerlcentre tank (one in operation at a
time) - fuel quantity indication (half only on batteries)
- full Captain's instrumentation (PFD only on batteries)
- IRS 1 and 3 (one only on batteries)
- pressurization control (also on batteries)
- pack temperature manual control

aA31O fuel system - engine & APU feed
There are 5 direct feed tanks plus 1 transfer tank (HTP) as basic *).
Each direct feed tank is equipped with two identical booster pumps (with segregated power supplies).
- LH engine and APU are supplied from LH tank wing pumps and LH centre pump.
- RH engine is supplied from RH wing pumps and RH centre Pump.
Engine feed sequence order :
1 ) Centre tank(ongroundat engine start, in flight when slatsare ,,I ,It).
2) Inner tanks (at take-off with slats extended and when centre tank is empty).
3) Outer tanks (as a back up for centre tanwinner tank feeding and when centrelinner tanks are empty).
&& : Outer tank pumps operate perrnently and at lower pressure than inner or centre tanks pumps.
Engine feed during forward fuel transfer will automatically revert to centre tank when a defined fuel level is obtained in centre tank and the following normal conditions are obtained :
- during flight and slats "Retracted" - engine feed from inner tanks (if centre tank has emptied) - trim tankcontains fuel according to the shown trimsheetlogic.
(pages 8-1 2 to 8-1 4)
Note : for safety reasons the trim tank is isolated during take- off and landing.
In case of pump failure forward fuel transfer by gravity is possible.
* One or two ACT (add. centre tanks) are options.

A31 0 FMS functions
Airbus offers the choice between two flight management systems :
- HONEYWELL Flight Management System - SMITHS Flight Management System
The operation and mechanization of actions of both systems is slightly different. Both however offer the following functions :
- flight plan construction and management of lateral and vertical profile (40 guidance)
- navigation - performance management and optimization - predictions - advisory functions.
0 FMS fligh management
Flight plan construction
Flight plan definition by company route or city pair Departure and arrival procedures including associated SPDIALT constraints Flight plan revision (offset, DIR. TO, holding pattern, alterna- tive flight plan activation, ...)
* Secondary flight plan creation similar to primary flight plan creation
Navigation
The FMC position depends upon the IRS position and the radio position.
Position computation :
Before flight, the three lRSs are aligned on airfield or gate position.
. * At take-off (go lever actuation) the FMC position is automatically updated on runway threshold. In flight FMC position updating is computed using radio navaids (DME, VOR, ILS) : depending upon availability of navaids and sensors, FMC automatically tunes the best navaids to compute the most accurate position (DMEIDME; VORIDME ; IRS only). The FMC position depends upon the lRSs position and the radio position.
* Flight plan management Coupling to the AFS (through NAV mode and PROFILE mode) lateral and vertical guidance is achieved along the flight path related to the predictions.
GA31O FMS
FMS Performance Management
Speed optimization Provides cost and/or fuel savings based upon airline cost index, - using current conditions - using airframe and engine models
* Performance predictions Provides - time, fuel, altitude and speed prediction at all waypoints - estimated time of arrival distance to destination, estimated
fuel on board at destination
Advisory functions - fuel planning - optimum altitude
FMC Redundancy
Two FMCs associated with two CDUs provide redundant con- figuration.
Normal mode operation is DUAL mode - Each FMC makes it own computation - One FMC is master, the other is slave - Both CDUs act independantly (entries are automatically
recopied on the other CDU and applied to both FMCs)
* lndependant mode - Automatically operative if a mismatch between FMCs. - lndependant operation of FMC with associated CDUs

0 ECAM - failure - related mode
In abnormal and emergency aircraft system situations the ECAM In addition ECAM generates audio signals via the cockpit provides the crew with : loudspeakers and visual signals via the DUs and the master
warning or caution lights. - failure analysis
- orientation of corrective actions and control of actions
- minimization of need to refer to paper check list or manual read out
- improved understanding of aircraft and system configura- tion after failure.
aA31O ECAM - warnina definition
Warning levels The warnings are classified in 4 levels according to the importance and urgency of the corrective action required.
Level 3 Corresponds to an emergency situation. Corrective or palliative action must be taken immediately by the crew. These warnings are triggered with a cootinuous repetitive chime (CRC) or with specific aural warnings. Master WARNING light is flashing.
Level 2 Corresponds to an abnormal situation of he aircraft. Immediate corrective action is not required. These warnings are triggered with a single chime (SC). Master CAUTION light comes on steady.
Level 1 Corresponds to an alert situation requiring crew monitoring; that is mainly failures leading to a loss of redundancy or degradation of a system.
Level 0 Corresponds to an information situation and requires no special action. This is provided by blue, green and white local information on the CRTs.
: Level 3 has priority over level 2 which, in turn, has priority over level 1.
0 ECAM - warnina inhibition
Warning inhibition
- ensures proper warnings only when necessary
- avoids warning without interest for a flight phase ; an inhibition logic filters the presentation of warnings according to the flight phase
- allows the crew to cancel warning presentation when the corrective actions have been done (CLEAR functions).

0 ECAM - warning definition
There are three distinct types of failures : e.g. ADC 1 failure leads to the loss of subsystems, such as :
independent failure primary failure
- pitch trim 1 - yaw damper
* secondary failure - AP1 - velocity information on Captain's instrument- or
lndepndent failure - primary failure (hydraulic failure) A failure which affects an isolated item of equipment or system - secondary failure (spoiler or Yaw damper failure).
without affecting other items of equipment or system on the aircraft . Secondary failure
Is the loss of an item of equipment or system resulting from a Primary failure primary failure, e.g. loss of a fuel pump resulting from a power A failure of an item of equipment or system causing the loss of supply busbar failure.
