SCOPE
1-1-0 Introduction
The A320 Family is the world’s best-selling single-aisle aircraft. An A320 takes off or lands
somewhere in the world every 1.5 seconds of every day, the family has logged more than 117 million
cycles since entry-into-service and records a best-in-class dispatch reliability of 99.7%.
To ensure this true market leadership, Airbus continues to invest in improvements in the A320
Family: enhancements to aerodynamics such as the sharklet wingtip devices, upgrades to the widest
passenger cabin in its class, the A320 Family neo. The latter combines top-of-class engine efficiency
offered by two new engine options: the PW1100G PurePower from Pratt&Whitney and the LEAP-1A
from CFM International with superior aerodynamics offered by the new sharklet devices.
The A321neo is the largest member of the A320 Family and the market leader in its segment
enjoying around 80% of the market share. With its new door configuration, the A321neo is capable of
accommodating up to 244 passengers while still providing high levels of passenger comfort.
Compared to the previous A321 variant, the most visible modifications are a new rear section and a
modified passenger door configuration, where the door located forward of the wing is removed and
new overwing emergency exits in the center section are introduced. The A321neo in new door
configuration is an option today and will become standard for all A321neos in the future.
The A321neo in its new door configuration is also the base for a longer range variant known as the
A321LR. The A321LR has an increased MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight) of 97 000 kg (213 848
lb) and two or three underfloor fuel tanks allowing airlines to increase its range up to 4 000 nm (7
408 km) for intercontinental flights.
The A320neo family offers a minimum of 15% fuel savings and an additional flight range of about
500 nm (926 km) and up to 20% fuel savings achieved through cabin innovations and efficiency
improvements. For the environment, the A320neo family is also more eco-friendly, with 5 000 t (11
023 113 lb) less CO2 emissions per year per aircraft and nearly 50% reduction in noise footprint
compared to previous generation aircraft.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The main landing gears are located under the wing and retract sideways towards the fuselage
centerline.
The nose landing gear retracts forward into a fuselage compartment located between FR9 and FR20.
The landing gears and landing gear doors are operated and controlled electrically and hydraulically.
In abnormal operation, the landing gear can be extended by gravity.
Each of the two main landing gear assemblies consists of a conventional two-wheel direct type
with an integral shock absorber supported in the fore and aft directions by a fixed drag strut
and laterally by a folding strut mechanically locked when in the DOWN position.
3. Nose Landing Gear
The nose landing gear consists of a leg with a built-in shock absorber strut, carrying twin wheels with
adequate shimmy damping and a folding strut mechanically locked when in the DOWN position.
4. Nose Wheel Steering
Steering is controlled by two hand wheels in the cockpit. For steering angle controlled by the hand
wheels, refer to AMM 32-51-00.
For steering angle limitation, refer to AMM 09-10-00.
A steering disconnection box is installed on the nose landing gear to allow steering deactivation for
towing purposes.
5. Landing Gear Servicing Points
A. General
Filling of the landing-gear shock absorbers is done through MIL-PRF-6164 standard valves.
Page 1
2-9-0 Apr 01/20
@A321
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
Charging of the landing-gear shock absorbers is accomplished with nitrogen through MIL-
PRF-6164 standard valves.
B. Charging Pressure
The four main wheels are equipped with carbon multidisc brakes.
The braking system has four braking modes plus autobrake and anti-skid systems:
- Normal braking with anti-skid capability,
- Alternative braking with anti-skid capability,
- Alternative braking without anti-skid capability,
- Parking brake with full pressure application capability only.
B. In-Flight Wheel Braking
The main gear wheels are braked automatically before the wheels enter the wheel bay.
The nose gear wheels are stopped by the wheels contacting a rubbing strip (the brake band)
when the gear is in the retracted position.

The APU is installed at the rear part of the fuselage in the tail cone. An air intake system with a
flap-type door is installed in front of the APU compartment. The exhaust gases pass overboard at the
end of the fuselage cone.
2. Controls and Indication
The primary APU controls and indications are installed on the overhead panel, on the center pedestal
and on the center instrument panel. Additionally, an external APU panel is installed on the nose
landing gear to initiate an APU emergency shutdown.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The engine is a dual-rotor, variable stator, high bypass ratio turbofan powerplant for subsonic
services. The principal modules of the engine are:
- low pressure compressor (fan stator and fan rotor)
- high pressure compressor
- turbine frame
- combustion chamber
- high pressure turbine
- low pressure turbine
- accessory drives (gear box).
The 9 stage high pressure compressor is driven by 1 stage high pressure turbine, and the
integrated front fan and booster is driven by 4 stage low pressure turbine. An annular combustor
converts fuel and compressor discharge air into energy to provide engine thrust part through
primary exhaust and to drive the turbines. The accessory drive system extracts energy from the
high pressure rotor to drive the engine accessories and the engine mounted aircraft accessories.
Reverse thrust for braking the aircraft after landing is supplied by an integrated system which
acts on the fan discharge airflow.
B. Nacelle
The cowls enclose the periphery of the engine so as to form the engine nacelle. Each engine is
housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached to the wing lower surface. The nacelle
consists of the demountable powerplant, the fan cowls and the thrust reverser cowls.
The nacelle installation is designed to provide cooling and ventilation air for engine accessories
mounted along the fan and core casing. The nacelle provides:
- protection for the engine and the accessories
- airflow around the engine during its operation
- lighting protection
- HIRF and EMI attenuation.
2. Engine and Nacelle - IAE Engine
A. Engine
The engine is a two spool, axial flow, high bypass ratio turbofan powerplant for subsonic service.
The main modules of the engine are:

The four stage Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) is driven by a five stage Low Pressure Turbine
(LPT) and the ten stage High Pressure Compressor (HPC) by a two stage High Pressure
Turbine (HPT). The HPT also drives a gearbox which, in turn drives the engines and aircraft
mounted accessories. The two shafts are supported by five main bearings.
The V2500 incorporates a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) which governs all
engine functions, including power management. Reverse thrust for braking the aircraft after
landing is supplied by an integrated system which acts on the fan discharge airflow.
B. Nacelle
The cowls enclose the periphery of the engine so as to form the engine nacelle. Each engine is
housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached below the wing.
The nacelle installation is designed to provide cooling and ventilation air for engine accessories
mounted along the fan and core casing. The nacelle provides:
- protection for the engine and the accessories
- airflow around the engine during its operation
- lighting protection
- HIRF and EMI attenuation.

(3) The lifting jack stroke enables the aircraft to be jacked up so that the fuselage longitudinal
datum line (aircraft center line) is parallel to the ground, with a clearance of 100 mm (3.94
in) between the main landing gear wheels and the ground. This enables the landing gear
extension/retraction tests to be performed.
3. Shoring Cradles
When it is necessary to support the aircraft in order to relieve the loads on the structure to do
modifications or major work, shoring cradles shall be placed under each wing and the fuselage as
necessary.
NOTE : The aircraft must not be lifted or supported by the wings or fuselage alone without
adequate support of the other.

Landing gear jacking will be required to lift the landing gear wheels off the ground.
NOTE : You can lift the aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW).
NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give a 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance
between the ground and the tire.
The main gears are normally jacked up by placing a jack directly under the ball pad.
The reactions at each of the jacking points are shown in the table, see FIGURE 2-14-0-991-061-A.
The main gears are normally jacked up by placing a jack directly under the ball pad.
For nose gear jacking, a 19 mm (0.75 in) radius ball pad is fitted under the lower end of the shock-
absorber sliding tube. Jacking can be accomplished either by placing a jack directly under the ball
pad, or using an adapter fitting provided with an identical ball pad.
The reactions at each of the jacking points are shown in the table, see FIGURE 2-14-0-991-061-A.

GROUND MANEUVERING
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 a guideline for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In 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 a high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should
be coordinated with the airlines in question prior to layout planning.

A. The grounding (earthing) stud on each landing gear leg is designed for use with a clip-on
connector (such as Appleton TGR).
B. The grounding (earthing) studs are used to connect the aircraft to an approved ground (earth)
connection on the ramp or in the hangar for:
- Refuel/defuel operations,
- Maintenance operations,
- Bad weather conditions.
NOTE : In all other conditions, the electrostatic discharge through the tire is sufficient.
If the aircraft is on jacks for retraction and extension checks or for the
removal/installation of the landing gear, the grounding (earthing) alternative points (if
installed) are:
- In the hole on the avionics-compartment lateral right door-frame (on FR14),
- On the engine nacelles,
- Adjacent to the high-pressure connector,
- On the wing upper surfaces.

B. For a given OAT the following charts are used to determine an acceptable combination for air
discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure and mass flow rate.
C. This section addresses requirements for the ASU only, and is not representative of the start
performance of the aircraft using the APU or engine cross bleed procedure.
D. To protect the A/C, the charts feature, if necessary:
- The maximum discharge pressure at the HPGC
- The maximum discharge temperature at the HPGC.

A. The air flow rates and temperature requirements for the GSE, provided in Sections 5.6 and 5.7,
are given at A/C ground connection.
NOTE : The cooling capacity of the equipment (kW) is only indicative and is not sufficient by
itself to ensure the performance (outlet temperature and flow rate combinations are
the requirements needed for ground power). An example of cooling capacity
calculation is given in Section 5.7.
NOTE : The maximum air flow is driven by pressure limitation at the ground connection.
B. For temperatures at ground connection below 2 ˚C (35.6 ˚F) (Subfreezing), the ground
equipment shall be compliant with the Airbus document ”Subfreezing PCA Carts - Compliance
Document for Suppliers” (contact Airbus to obtain this document) defining all the requirements
with which Subfreezing Pre-Conditioning Air equipment must comply to allow its use on Airbus
aircraft. These requirements are in addition to the functional specifications included in the IATA
AHM997.
2. Ground Pneumatic Power Requirements
This section provides the ground pneumatic power requirements for:
- Heating (pull up) the cabin, initially at OAT, up to 21 ˚C (69.8 ˚F) (see FIGURE
5-6-0-991-001-A)
- Cooling (pull down) the cabin, initially at OAT, down to 27 ˚C (80.6 ˚F) (see FIGURE
5-6-0-991-002-A).

These settings are not intended to be used for operation (they are not a substitute for the settings
given in the AMM). They are based on theoretical simulations and give the picture of a real steady
state.
The purpose of the air conditioning (cooling) operation (described in the AMM) is to maintain the
cabin temperature below 27 ˚C (80.6 ˚F) during boarding (therefore it is not a steady state).

NOTE : The NLG steering deactivation pin has the same design for all Airbus programs.
This section shows the chart to determine the drawbar pull and tow tractor mass requirements as a
function of the following physical characteristics:
- Aircraft weight,
- Number of engines at idle,
- Slope.
The chart is based on the engine type with the highest idle thrust level.
2. Towbar design guidelines
A conventional type towbar is required which should be equipped with a damping system (to protect
the nose gear against jerks) and with towing shear pins:
- A traction shear pin calibrated at 9 425 daN (21 188 lbf),
- A torsion pin calibrated at 826 m.daN (6 092 lbf.ft).

−ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH, CHOOSE THE RELEVANT AIRCRAFT WEIGHT (80 000 kg),
−FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUIRED SLOPE PERCENTAGE (1.5%),
−FROM THE POINT OBTAINED DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE UNTIL No. OF ENGINES AT IDLE = 2,

OPERATING CONDITIONS
The MTO data are presented at the maximum thrust rating. The Breakaway data are presented at a
rating that corresponds to the minimum thrust level necessary to start the movement of the A/C
from a static position at its maximum ramp weight. Breakaway thrust corresponds to 12% MTO if
applied on both engines and 24% MTO when applied on a single engine (Idle thrust on the other
engine).
The Idle data, provided by the engine manufacturer, are calculated for operational conditions ISA
+15K (+15˚C), Sea Level, Static and no headwind. In the charts, the longitudinal distances are
measured from the inboard engine core-nozzle exit section. The lateral distances are measured from
the aircraft fuselage centerline.
The effects of on-wing installation are not taken into account. The effects of ground proximity are
not taken into account for PW 1100G engines, but they are taken into account for the CFM
LEAP-1A engines.
The velocity contours are presented at 50 ft/s (15 m/s), 100 ft/s (30 m/s) and 150 ft/s (46 m/s).
The temperature contours are shown at 313K (+40˚C), 323K (+50˚C) and 333K (+60˚C). The
velocity and temperature contours do not take into account possible variations affecting performance,
such as ambient temperature, field elevation or failure cases leading to an abnormal bleed
configuration. To evaluate the impact of these specific variables on the exhaust contours, a specific
study of the airport where the aircraft is intended to operate should be carried out.

PAVEMENT DATA
To aid in the interpolation between the discrete values shown, each aircraft configuration is shown
with a minimum range of five loads on the Main Landing Gear (MLG).
All curves on the charts represent data at a constant specified tire pressure with:
- The aircraft loaded to the Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW),
- The CG at its maximum permissible aft position.
Pavement requirements for commercial aircraft are derived from the static analysis of loads imposed
on the MLG struts.
Page 1

@A321
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The Load Classification Number (LCN) curves are no longer provided in section 07-06-00 since the
LCN system for reporting pavement strength is obsolete, having been replaced by the ICAO
recommended ACN/PCN system in 1983.
For questions regarding the LCN system, contact Airbus.
The Airport Authority must decide on the method of pavement analysis and the results of their
evaluation shown as follows:

This section provides data about the landing gear loading on pavement.
The MLG loading on pavement graphs are given for the weight variants that produce (at the MRW
and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for each type of aircraft.
Example, see FIGURE 7-4-0-991-014-A, calculation of the total weight on the MLG for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- The aircraft gross weight is 60 000 kg (132 275 lb),
- A percentage of weight on the MLG of 95.7% (percentage of weight on the MLG at MRW and
maximum aft CG).
The total weight on the MLG group is 57 410 kg (126 575 lb).
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN/LCN calculation.

NOTE : An aircraft with an ACN equal to or less than the reported PCN can operate on that
pavement, subject to any limitation on the tire pressure.
(Ref: ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3, Chapter 1, Second Edition 1983).
Example, see FIGURE 7-9-0-991-020-A (sheet 1), calculation of the ACN for flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 65 000 kg (143 300 lb),
- A low subgrade strength (code C).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 38.
Example, see FIGURE 7-9-0-991-020-A (sheet 2), calculation of the ACN for rigid pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 65 000 kg (143 300 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for rigid pavement is 40.
2. Aircraft Classification Number - ACN table
The tables in FIGURE 7-9-0-991-019-A, FIGURE 7-9-0-991-022-A and FIGURE 7-9-0-991-025-A
provide ACN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the ”Aerodrome Design
Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1983” for all the operational weight variants of the aircraft.
As an approximation, use a linear interpolation in order to get the ACN at the required operating
weight using the following equation:
- ACN = ACN min + (ACN max - ACN min) x (Operating weight - 47 000 kg)/(MRW - 47 000
kg)
As an approximation, also use a linear interpolation in order to get the aircraft weight at the
pavement PCN using the following equation:
- Operating weight = 47 000 kg + (MRW - 47 000 kg) x (PCN - ACN min)/(ACN max - ACN
min)
With ACN max: ACN calculated at the MRW in the table and with ACN min: ACN calculated at 47
000 kg.
