performing a function in an aircraft system, is identified by a unique
identifier designated as Functional Item Number (FIN).
The only exceptions to this basic rule are engines, windows, pax lights,
pax seats with their related equipment and identical VU panels.
The FIN is a cross-referencing code within numerous manuals.
The FIN is composed of:
- a sequence number (prefix) up to 4 digits. It indicates the position in
the circuit. The prefix is followed by:
- two circuit letters related to ATA chapters, followed if necessary by:
- a counter number (suffix) up to 4 digits, indicating the number
identification of the item.
Sequence Numbers
For electrical/electromechanical/electromagnetic components (ones
with at least one electrical connection), the sequence numbers run
from 1 to 4999.
For purely mechanical components (ones with no electrical
connections), the sequence numbers run from 5000 to 7999.

COCKPIT PHILOSOPHY INTRODUCTION (1)

Cockpit General Arrangement
This topic presents the A380 cockpit, including panels, maintenance
stations, crew seats...etc.
A380 Cockpit and Airbus A/C Family
The A380 overall cockpit layout is common to long range and single
aisle A/C families.
The A380 cockpit is designed according to golden rules which dictate
the Airbus family operational philosophy and related to cockpit general
arrangement, cockpit panel layout and indication philosophy.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM00P3CKPTPHI01
MAINTENANCE COURSE - T1 & T2 (RR / Metric) COCKPIT PHILOSOPHY INTRODUCTION (1) Apr 18, 2006
COCKPIT GENERAL ARRANGEMENT - A380 COCKPIT AND AIRBUS A/C FAMILY

Cockpit General Arrangement (continued)
Crew Seats
The A380 cockpit is located between the two passengers decks. It
contains at least 4 seats: the captain seat and the first officer seat at
the front, and two observer seats at the back. An additional seat for a
fifth occupant can be installed as an option.
COCKPIT GENERAL ARRANGEMENT - CREW SEATS

OMT/OIT Workstations
Within the cockpit, two types of workstations are available:
- two Onboard Information Terminals (OITs) at the front, which are
mainly dedicated to the captain and the first officer,
- an Onboard Maintenance Terminal (OMT) at the back, dedicated to
the maintenance crews.
These workstations are used to make flight and maintenance
operations.
COCKPIT GENERAL ARRANGEMENT - OMT/OIT WORKSTATIONS

Panels Location
All the A/C system controls are arranged to be within easy reach of
the two flight crewmembers.
The cockpit comprises: the overhead panel, the glareshield, the main
instrument panel, and the pedestal. The A/C is flown using two side
sticks located on the side consoles.
COCKPIT GENERAL ARRANGEMENT - PANELS LOCATION

Cockpit Panel Layout
This topic presents the different panels in the cockpit.
Overhead Panel
Most of the A/C system controls are located on the overhead panel.
For each system, the controls are located in a single control panel.
These panels are arranged in order to make normal and abnormal
procedures straightforward and intuitive thus minimizing crew errors.
The main systems are located on the overhead panel center part and
the others on the sides.
On the lower section are fitted the systems most frequently used by
the flight crew members.
There is no more C/B within the cockpit. However, systems resetting
is still available from reset panels.
The overhead panel also includes a maintenance panel allowing
on-ground maintenance operations on some systems.
COCKPIT PANEL LAYOUT - OVERHEAD PANEL

Cockpit Panel Layout (continued)
Glareshield
The glareshield is located just below the windshield. It includes the
Flight Control Unit (FCU) made of an Auto Flight System (AFS)
control panel and two Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
control panels. They support short-term controls for the autoflight
system and for the main display units. Thus, the operation of these
controls can be achieved head-up and within easy reach of both pilots.
In addition, on both sides of the FCU are fitted several attention
getters: (the Master warning and caution lights), the side stick priority
controls and the autoland lights. At each end of the glareshield a
loudspeaker sound level control and an Air Traffic Control (ATC)
message indicator are installed.
COCKPIT PANEL LAYOUT - GLARESHIELD

Main Instrument Panel
The main instrument panel includes eight identical and interchangeable
8 inch x 6 inch Liquid Crystal Display Units (LCDUs) which are
composed of:
- two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs),
- two Navigation Displays (NDs),
- two Multi Function Displays (MFDs),
- an Engine/Warning Display (EWD) and,
- a System Display (SD).
Note that in case of failure of the displays dedicated to A/C guidance
and navigation, the standby instruments are available.
The A380 main instrument panel also comprises two OITs controlled
by keyboards, 2 loudspeakers and display switching panels.
COCKPIT PANEL LAYOUT - MAIN INSTRUMENT PANEL

Pedestal
The pedestal mainly comprises the controls related to the engines and
engine thrust, to the communications, to the navigation and to the A/C
configuration. Note that the pitch trim is no longer controlled
mechanically via a wheel but electrically via pitch trim switches. The
pedestal includes also two Keyboard and Cursor Control Units
(KCCUs) for display control and interactivity.
COCKPIT PANEL LAYOUT - PEDESTAL

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 abnormal
configuration for flying, its related P/Bs are illuminated.
COCKPIT INDICATION PHILOSOPHY - "LIGHTS OUT" PHILOSOPHY

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.
COCKPIT INDICATION PHILOSOPHY - ANNUNCIATOR LIGHT COLOR PHILOSOPHY

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 in
and 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.
COCKPIT INDICATION PHILOSOPHY - P/B PRINCIPLE

Control Panels Technology
This topic presents the conventional technology panels (VU) and the new
technology 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 about
the 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".
CONTROL PANELS TECHNOLOGY - VU AND VM PHILOSOPHY

Control Panels Technology (continued)
VU and VM Allocation on Control Panels
Both ICPs (VMs) and conventional control panels (VUs) are used in
the A380 cockpit.
The conventional control panels (VUs) are found on the consoles, the
main instrument panel, the glareshield and partially on the overhead
panel.
The ICPs (VMs) are mainly located on the overhead panel, and on
part of the pedestal.
CONTROL PANELS TECHNOLOGY - VU AND VM ALLOCATION ON CONTROL PANELS

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 PAPERLESS PHILOSOPHY

Cockpit Paperless Philosophy (continued)
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.
Flight and Maintenance crew can access the OIS using the OITs, the
OMT and the Portable Maintenance Terminal (PMAT).
Note that to get access to the OIS through the different human-machine
interfaces (OITs, OMT and PMAT) the crews have to identify
themselves on the home page of the OIS.
COCKPIT PAPERLESS PHILOSOPHY - COCKPIT ONBOARD INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAY
DOCUMENTATION GENERAL INTRODUCTION (1)

Media and Users
The A380 technical documentation developed by Airbus is stored in an
electronic library onboard the aircraft.
The maintenance documentation mainly has the AirN@v Application.
The revision update for this applicable documentation is carried out using
CDROMs or DVDs formats given by Airbus.
Note that the documentation and updates can also be obtained through
the Airbus Online ServiceS (AOLS).
Typical users of the technical documentation are:
- Flight crews,
- Line & Base Maintenance Engineering, Shop and overhaul maintenance,
- Cabin crews.

MEDIA AND USERS

ATA Breakdown Principle (ISpec2200)
The Airbus technical documentation is based on a new breakdown
codification.
That means that all documentation is structured as follows:
- ATA 0512 Aircraft General,
- ATA 2050 Airframe,
- ATA 5157 Structure,
- ATA70 80 Power Plant.
This new Documentation breakdown philosophy is now regulated by the
iSpec 2200 which includes both ATA Spec 100 and Spec 2100.
These Specs will no more be updated.
ATA BREAKDOWN PRINCIPLE (ISPEC2200)

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 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 customized manuals are:
- 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.
Note that there are all the manuals mentioned above on-board the aircraft
except the SRM.
MANUALS CUSTOMIZATION

Main Manuals for Line Maintenance
The often-used manuals for Line maintenance are:
- the Master-Minimum Equipment List (M-MEL), used by the Flight
OPS Dept
and the following Maintenance and Engineering Documentation (through
AirN@V):
- the AMM,
- the TSM,
- the IPC and the Power Plant IPC (PPIPC),
- the ASM,
- the AWM,
- the AWL,
- ESPM.
These manuals can be accessible from the AirN@v Application or from
Airbus Online ServiceS (AOLS).
Note that from AOLS it is also possible to access to:
- The Component Location Manual (CLM),
- The Maintenance Planning Document (MPD), which describes Time
Limited Maintenance checks,
- The Additional Cross Reference Table (ACRT).
MAIN MANUALS FOR LINE MAINTENANCE

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks
Maintenance checks may have:
- 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 report shows abnormal flight conditions.
Such maintenance actions are divided into two categories of information:
- inspections,
- checks.
TIME LIMITS/MAINTENANCE CHECKS

Scheduled Maintenance/MPD
The main objective of the MPD document 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 test
data, 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 steps
can 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 actual
operation, has more flexibility to develop his own maintenance checks.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE/MPD

Warning/Caution/Note in Text
WARNING calls attention to use of material, processes, methods,
procedures or limits which must be followed precisely to avoid injury or
death to persons.
CAUTION: calls attention to methods and procedures which be followed

to avoid damage to equipment.
NOTE: calls attention to methods which make the job easier to give
supplementary or explanatory information

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:
- Pilots 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.
AIRMAN

On-board Maintenance System

FUEL AND LUBRICANTS

Jacking
The A380 can be jacked at not more than the maximum permitted aircraft
weight for jacking and always within the limits of the permissible wind
speed when the aircraft is jacked outside.
The aircraft has three primary jacking points.
One is located under the forward fuselage, aft of the nose landing gear
and the other two are located under each wing (one per wing).
Three jack adaptors are used between the aircraft jacks points and the
jacks:
One spherical nose jack adaptor is installed at the forward fuselage, and
two wing jack adaptors are installed at each wing (one per wing).
The graphic shows the measurements with the aircraft on jacks and the
shock struts extended.
When the aircraft is on jacks, a safety stay with one spherical adaptor, is
installed under the aft fuselage to prevent tail tipping caused by accidental
displacement of the aircraft center of gravity. This point is not used for
lifting the aircraft.
The set of values shows the specifications for the nose and the wings
jacks when they are both in fully closed and in fully extended positions.
JACKING

Leveling and Weighing
This topic covers the quick leveling and the weighing procedures.
There are three alternative procedures to level the aircraft:
- Quick leveling procedure with the Air Data/Inertial Reference System
(ADIRS).
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the upper or main deck
passenger compartment.
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the forward cargo.
Quick Leveling with ADIRS
In the ADIRS panel, do the Inertial Reference (IR) alignment
procedure. Enter the alpha call-up roll and pitch on the Onboard
Maintenance Terminal (OMT). Operate the hydraulic jacks, and read
the pitch and the roll angles on the OMT to make sure that the aircraft
is leveled.
Quick Leveling with a Spirit Level in the Upper or Main
Deck Passenger Compartment
To do the quick leveling with a spirit level the first is to go into the
passengers' compartment. Put a spirit level on two seat tracks, in the
Y-axis and operate the hydraulic jacks below the wings to get the
transverse alignment. Put the spirit level on a seat track, in the X-axis
and operate the nose hydraulic jack to get the longitudinal alignment.
When the longitudinal alignment is completed, do a check of the
transverse alignment.
Quick Leveling with a Spirit Level in the Forward Cargo
The process is similar to the done perform in the passengers
compartment, but the spirit levels are located in the forward cargo
compartment.

CARGO

Leveling and Weighing (continued)
Weighing
You can weigh the aircraft with:
- the aircraft on jacks,
- the aircraft on its wheels,
- the aircraft on landing gear jacks.
The aircraft is weighed putting all the landing gears onto balances:
one in the nose landing gear, two in the body landing gear and finally
two in the wings landing gears. Each balance indicates the load under
each landing gear; the addition of all of them gives the total weight
of the aircraft.

Towing and Taxiing
This topic gives information related to the towing and the taxiing of the
aircraft.
Make sure that each person in the aircraft is in a seat and the seat belt is
fastened during towing and taxiing operations.
Towing
Before towing the aircraft, be sure that the safety devices are installed
on the landing gears: nose, wing and body landing gears. Be sure also
that the dimension 'H' of the nose landing gear is never greater than
297.3 mm.
On the nose landing gear there is the steering disconnect panel, which
includes an indicator for the nose wheel steering and parking functions
break. The tow switch is used to isolate the nose steering function
during towing operations.
For the case of the body landing gear, there are two possibilities: if
the indicator is off, the body steering system is activated, and all
operations are allowed: operation towing and maintenance towing.
If the indicator is on, the body steering is deactivated, and the towing
is allowed only in some circumstances, for example, if the body
landing gear is centered.
The set of values show the values permitted for the towing forces.
Basic towing angle is +/- 60 degrees.
Hydraulic steering angle is +/- 70 degrees.
Mechanical stop angle is +/- 75 degrees. It is easy to disconnect the
torque link apex pin for especial operations; 360 degrees of rotation
in the nose wheel are achieved.
The towing fitting is Cat V: 8 inches length and 3.38 inches diameter.
Existing 50 tons tractors may pull the A380 under normal weather
conditions.
There are a differentiation between the A340-500/600 and the A380
towing fitting by the space available behind the pin.

Taxiing
The following graphic with the set of values shows the turning aircraft
capability.
This data has been determined from the theoretical limits imposed by
the aircraft geometry, so they reflect the turning aircraft capability in
favorable operating circumstances.
The illustrations show the danger from engine suction and exhaust
gases in some areas. To operate in these areas, safety precautions must
be taken to avoid damage.

Parking and Mooring
This topic covers the parking of the aircraft and the mooring of the landing
gear.
Parking Procedure
To park the aircraft in normal weather conditions, follow these tasks:
If necessary, clean the aircraft, externally and internally.
Park the aircraft on a flat surface. Make sure that the wheels of the
nose landing gear are on the aircraft axis and the aircraft points into
the wind.
Install the safety devices on the landing gears.
Make sure that the flight control surfaces are retracted.
Put the wheel chocks in position, in front and behind the wheels for
the nose landing gear, and in front of the forward wheels and behind
the aft wheels, for the wing and body landing gears.
Energize the electrical circuits.
If necessary refuel the fuel tanks up to 30% minimum of their total
capacity.
Drain water from all the fuel tanks, to protect the fuel system.
To protect the windows, open the cockpit and cabin window shades.
Make sure that the sliding windows are closed.
Installation of the Protection Equipment: Protect all the probes, the

engines and the APU with adapted protection equipment.
On the appropriate overhead panel, on the CABIN PRESS section,
push the DITCHING pushbutton switch to close the ventilation skin
valves and the outflow valves.
De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits.
PARKING AND MOORING - PARKING PROCEDURE

Parking and Mooring (continued)
Mooring
The purpose of mooring is to prevent movement of the aircraft in high
winds when it is not stable.
The limits of aircraft stability in relation to the wind speed are given
in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter 10-20-00.
Park the aircraft on a flat surface with the mooring points.
Make sure that the wheels of the nose landing gear are in the aircraft
axis and the aircraft points into the wind.
Install the safety devices.
Make sure that the flight control surfaces are retracted and that the
windows and doors are closed.
Put the chock wheels in position
Long Range aircraft, like the A380, are moored at the Nose Landing
Gear.
