General
1. This document is intended to provide, for areas which are under Airbus responsibility, aircraft
comprehensive details relative to the procedures, planning, equipment and tooling to effectively
recover the A318, A319, A320 or A321 aircraft. The airlines and airport authorities can use this
information as a planning tool for aircraft recovery preparations.
Aircraft recovery is an operation that is the result of an unplanned incident and as such, advance
preparations should be made. These preparations should include the establishment of an Aircraft
Recovery Team, aircraft recovery training, listings of aircraft recovery equipment availability and the
development of an internal Aircraft Recovery Process Document.
These are general procedures and will vary according to the individual incident and the equipment
available. In most cases the recovery will be carried out under abnormal conditions of both weather
and aircraft attitude.
Country and state rules and regulations have to be followed, even though they may impede the
recovery operation. Make sure that the relevant authorities have formally released the aircraft, before
starting the aircraft recovery process. For further information on aircraft accident and incident
investigation see ICAO Annex 13.
Personal safety and prevention of secondary damage are emphasized in this document.
The data provided in this document is based on a serviceable aircraft in a normal attitude (except
where specified). If the aircraft is in a different condition, the data will have to be adjusted
accordingly.
Procedures for aircraft recovery from water are not covered by this document.
It is recommended that the individual airlines share their aircraft recovery experiences with the
aircraft manufacturer and groups such as the International Airline Transport Association (IATA),
Aircraft Recovery Task Force (ARTF) and the International Airline Technical Pool (IATP). The
International Airline Technical Pool as well as some airports and airlines could provide Aircraft
Recovery Kits, at strategic locations around the world. Information about these groups is available at
the following web sites:
- http://www.iata.org
- http://www.iatp.com

NOTE : IATP website and recovery kits are available for IATP members only.

NOTE : This chapter gives references to web sites for information only. Airbus shall not be held
liable for web site or document content and for update or change of addresses.

General
1. Introduction
The objective is to define a recovery scenario based on a recovery plan and implement it:
- Without causing secondary damage,
- By ensuring traceability of actions performed.
The recovery must be set up and controlled according to a recovery process.
If a recovery contributing factor (see FIGURE 02-00-00-991-001-A) changes or is not as expected,
each section must be reviewed to reconsider the recovery process.
The recovery process is detailed in chapter 02-10-01 and is valid when there is no worldwide recovery
standard procedure for events of an infinite variety, even if there are basic leveling techniques:
- Use of Jacks (see 06-30-00),
- Use of Pneumatic Lifting Bags (see 06-40-00),
- Use of Cranes (see 06-50-00).
The ARM planning chart, aircraft recovery logic chart or the IATA aircraft recovery quick reference
checklist could be used to support this recovery process (see 09-20-01).
2. Recovery Secondary Damage
The objective of a successful aircraft recovery operation is to move the aircraft from the incident or
accident site to a repair area or facility without causing any secondary damage.
The secondary damage is a damage which is not due to the initial event, and can increase the repair
time. However, due to time or cost constraints, secondary damage will be accepted from involved
parties. In that case make sure that the time saving is acceptable in comparison with the cost.
The insurance underwriters can probably contest any secondary damage. Therefore every step of the
recovery process must be continually monitored with appropriate action taken to prevent it.

NOTE : The damage on airport infrastructure or field can be considered as secondary damage if
adequate action is not done in due time.

Aircraft Recovery Process
1. General
The recovery methods used are specific to each recovery operation, are dependent on multiple drivers
and constraints, including non aircraft specific drivers, as well as the individual aircraft recovery
considerations. Refer to the Aircraft Recovery Logic Chart (See DESC DESC 09-20-01-002-A01) for
more details.
The recovery process can be divided into five basic sections:
- Survey,
- Planning,
- Preparation,
- Recovery,
- Reporting.
A. Survey
(1) Before you get access to the incident or accident site and while waiting for release of the
aircraft from the Investigative Authorities, some preliminary tasks can be carried out.
Some general issues are:
- Get and record the initial incident or accident data,
- Secure the site: fire, theft and access control,
- Confirm that members of the Aircraft Recovery Team are available,
- Arrange delivery of any local aircraft recovery equipment,
- Make communication with the airport and Investigative Authorities,
- Identify the hazardous materials which are on board,
- Get an airport plan to assess the difficulty of the aircraft or recovery team travel path,
etc.
(2) After access to the incident or accident site, you must do a detailed inspection and make a
record of the items that follow:
- Integrity of the aircraft structure and landing gear,
- Survey of the soil conditions,
- Local weather conditions,
- Personnel health and safety issues,
- Environmental concerns.
(3) The other issues to consider if the incident took place at a secondary or international
airport are:
- Transportation of personnel and equipment,

Page 1
02-10-01 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

- Visas, passports and vaccinations certificates,


- Hotels and local transport.
B. Planning
The main planning issues are (not in order of importance) :
- Identification of your recovery drivers,
- Adverse weather conditions or critical forecast which can have an impact on material
required, recovery plan and recovery team operation, etc.
- Limitation of airport use with the disabled aircraft,
- Type of leveling, lifting or removal plan,
- Aircraft weight and balance management operation, if necessary,
- Unserviceable aircraft systems,
- Storage of removed fuel,
- Aircraft movement possibility and path,
- Compilation of all corrective actions, necessary logistics and planning,
- Necessary tooling.
C. Preparation
The main preparation issues are (not necessary in the applicable order) :
- Control the weight and CG by removal or transfer of the required amount of fuel and
payload,
- Make the aircraft stable,
- Assemble the required equipment for the leveling/lifting method that you will use,
- Remove components which are damaged,
- Remove components to help the weight reduction,
- Test and stabilize the soil if necessary.
D. Recovery
The main recovery issues are (in priority order) :
- Obey the safety conditions for personnel,
- Monitor and record the load when you level, lift and move the aircraft,
- Level the aircraft as required,
- Lift the aircraft as required,
- Move the aircraft.
E. Reporting
It is necessary to make the recovery records. The Recovery Manager must hand these records
over to the maintenance team. They will be used to do the necessary corrective action and
release the aircraft back to service, for systems and structure.

A detailed aircraft condition report must be completed as soon as possible to help the basic approach
to the recovery process, to ensure safety of the personnel and to anticipate the repairs. The
inspection and the subsequent report do not need to be as detailed for the recovery as for repair of
the aircraft.
Photographs, sketches, measurements, notes, etc. can complete the documentation. Digital cameras,
video recorders and pocket audio recorders can help to record the data.
The documentation will help engineering staff, insurance surveyors and manufacturer representatives
to discuss the details of the recovery scenarios/options. This information will be helpful to fill in a
report when the recovery is completed.
The future airworthiness of the aircraft can be dependent on the accuracy of the data recorded during
the recovery operation. These records must include accurate figures on all loads applied to the
aircraft during the recovery.
In most cases, the accident investigation will be more important than the aircraft recovery process.
The objective of the accident investigation is to determine the cause of the incident or accident and
provide details to prevent the re-occurrence of such an event.
Keep in mind that the time between the notification of the event and release of the aircraft by the
Investigative Authorities can be several hours.
If the Investigative Authority asks for removal of the Aircraft Flight Data and Cockpit Voice
Recorders, qualified personnel must do it and obey AMM procedures. These units are to be handed
over to the Investigative Authority. In return, the Investigative Authority will give you a receipt with
the aircraft registration and the serial numbers of the removed units.
It is necessary to note current and forecast weather.
2. Inspections
It is necessary to estimate the fuel quantity, the cargo on board.
It is also necessary to identify and quantify hazardous materials with any required personnel
protective equipment.

5. Procedure

WARNING : DO NOT CLIMB ON, GO INTO OR GO BELOW THE AIRCRAFT UNTIL THE
AIRCRAFT IS STABLE.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT IS CORRECTLY GROUNDED.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.

Subtask 02-20-01-284-001-A01
A. Inspection of Damage
(1) Without climbing on, going into or going below the aircraft, identify and record all obvious
and visible damage. Note the location on the fuselage with frame (station) and stringer
numbers, and on the wing with rib and station numbers.
(2) The types of damage include cracked, creased, distorted or torn fuselage and wing skin
panels and also missing or broken fasteners (bolts, rivets…) and fittings.
(3) These types of damage are signs of failed structural components and must be considered as
suspect. These failed structural components cannot be relied on to carry their designed
loads. It is necessary to do a more detailed inspection on these areas prior to leveling,
lifting or moving the aircraft.
(4) It is necessary to record any evidence of fire or overheating.
(5) It is also necessary to identify missing and damaged components such as landing gear, flap
sections and non-structural fairings. Broken fairings can be a sign of hidden damage to
other structural areas.
(6) It is necessary to do a more detailed inspection on these areas prior to leveling, lifting or
moving the aircraft.

Subtask 02-20-01-680-001-A01
B. Fluid Leaks
(1) Fluid leaks must be identified.

Page 2
02-20-01 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(2) These fluid leakages can be fuel, hydraulic fluid, lavatory waste water, potable water and
any fluid transported in the cargo compartments.
At the first indication of a fluid leak, the airport or Investigative Authorities must call for a
hazardous materials response company to contain these leaking fluids.
(3) Cap lines and manually close valves to stop or control fluid leaks. Or temporarily plug holes
or openings to stop the flow. If there is a fuel leak, defueling must be a primary task.

NOTE : This step can be required at any point during the initial aircraft survey.

Subtask 02-20-01-862-001-A01
C. Batteries
(1) If there is any structural damage on the fuselage or wings, it is necessary to remove or
isolate the aircraft batteries as soon as the aircraft is stable.

NOTE : This step can be required at any point during the initial aircraft survey.
(2) It is possible to keep the batteries connected if there is no structural or system damage.
This can be useful later for the recovery process. This decision can be re-examined during
the survey and recovery.

NOTE : At this point, it is possible to try to make the aircraft stable and safe so that it is
possible to do a detailed inspection in and below the aircraft.

Subtask 02-20-01-869-001-A01
D. Landing Gear

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT LANDING GEAR DOWNLOCK PINS ARE INSTALLED IF
THEIR INSTALLATION IS POSSIBLE.
(1) If a landing gear malfunction caused the event, it can be possible to continue to use the
aircraft landing gear to move the aircraft when lifted. It is necessary to make sure that the
structure and landing gear (when extended) can support the aircraft weight. Examples are:
- One or more landing gear(s) remained retracted at touchdown,
- One or more landing gear(s) collapsed after touchdown due to downlock failures,
- One or more landing gear(s) folded or collapsed when the aircraft left the runway and
bogged down in mud, snow or sand.
(2) In these cases, it can be possible to extend and lock the landing gear down after lifting the
aircraft and after carrying out temporary repairs to strengthen or brace damaged parts. If
repairs are necessary, it is usually less difficult and less time consuming to do these repairs
than to have secondary damage when moving the aircraft on a trailer or a recovery
transport vehicle.
(3) Make sure that spare landing-gear assemblies are available to replace damaged or missing
ones, if required.

1. General
This procedure gives details on how to do a full survey of the incident site around the aircraft.
2. Inspections
Not Applicable.
3. Job Setup References
Get an airport map from the airport authority (we recommend a topographical map, which includes
subterranean infrastructure localization) of the incident area.
4. Procedure

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.

Subtask 02-20-02-285-001-A01
A. Terrain
(1) If the ground is sufficiently flat, the recovery process can be more direct. It will be more
difficult to move the aircraft on a rolling terrain with hills and it can be necessary to grade
the ground.
You can report on the airport site plan the position of the aircraft, the flatness, slopes,
hills, width and depth of any ditches or culverts and surrounding vegetation. You can
examine the area to know if there is any animal life (rodents and snakes).

Subtask 02-20-02-285-002-A01
B. Soil Characteristics
(1) The load bearing capacity is very important. This information is necessary to set up the
support equipment to level, lift or move the aircraft.
It is also necessary to do the selection of the type of tethering. The type of ground anchors
is dependent on the soil properties.
(2) The type of soil can be noted in addition to the substrate. It is possible to use the ruts
made by the landing gear to identify the subsurface soil type.
(3) Subterranean airport infrastructure must be known.
Signs of recent excavations must be noted. The airport site plan must be amended to
indicate any of these areas. Signs of recent excavations usually show soft and unstable
ground.

Page 1
02-20-02 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

This information is very important, as it will influence the path to move the aircraft during
the recovery.
(4) One of the standards used to compare different soil conditions is the California Bearing
Ratio or CBR.
This test measures the load necessary to make a plunger of a standard area penetrate a
soil sample. The information is recorded on a standard graph and the plot of the test gives
the CBR result of the soil test.
The CBR is a procedure to put a figure on the inherent strength of the soil. The soil must
have a homogeneous CBR rating through a sufficient depth. For more details, you can refer
to a ground engineer.
(5) The possible effect of rainfall on the ground load bearing capabilities can change with the
surface hardness, smoothness or drainage.
Use pumps to remove standing water and dig drainage ditches from the work area.

Subtask 02-20-02-500-001-A01
C. Access Routes
(1) Access routes to the incident site can be planned with the airport site map. In most cases,
it is necessary to go across active runways.
The air traffic control service must plan and control these routes.
(2) Carefully review of the path of the aircraft from the runway to the resting point.
The distance to runways, taxiways and aprons, the type of soil, rut depth and terrain will
all influence in which direction the aircraft will be moved once the actual recovery starts.
(3) Pavement requirements for the particular aircraft are derived from the static analysis of
loads imposed on the main landing gear struts.
These main landing gear loads are used as the point of entry to the pavement design
charts (See AC-07-00-00).
Make sure that the surfaces you will move the aircraft on are able to support these loads.
(4) Make sure that the specific ground tooling or road used to level, lift or move the aircraft
are able to support aircraft load.
(5) Make sure that the loads applied to the aircraft are not more than aircraft allowable loads.

Subtask 02-20-02-869-001-A01
D. Weather
(1) Weather conditions can play a major role during aircraft recovery operations. General
meteorological conditions (temperature, wind speed and precipitation) must be recorded.
(2) Temperature, both extreme heat and extreme cold, will determine the type of clothing,
meals and liquid intake for the manpower involved in the recovery. The need for shelter
from heat or cold will also have to be determined.

Page 2
02-20-02 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(3) Forecast conditions must be acquired and recorded. The forecast will help to prepare the
type of personal protective clothing and to determine the recovery plan.
(4) Make sure that the required tooling can be used within forecast conditions.
(5) Wind and projected wind gust speeds will determine the amount of tethering and will
influence any attempts at lifting the aircraft.
(6) Any type of precipitation will have consequences in the grading, soil support and general
recovery operation.

**ON A/C A318-100 A319-100 A319neo A320-200 A320neo A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

DESC 02-40-01-001-A01
General
1. The emphasis during all aircraft recovery operations is SAFETY. All necessary precautions must be
taken to avoid injury to personnel and the occurrence of secondary damage to the aircraft. Not only
the members of aircraft recovery team, but everyone at the incident site must know all the safety
issues as they evolve. A number of different factors must be taken into account to make sure the
safety issue is properly controlled.
Make sure that adherence to a recovery close loop process is ensured to control and set up mitigation
plan if needed. By definition this implies that recovery plan engineering, tooling capability and
personnel qualification or expertise are correctly assessed.
Paragraphs are not in order of importance.
A. Communication
Make sure sufficient and correct communication equipment is available for communication at
the recovery site. Communication equipment can include two-way radios and cell phones. Voice
activated, lightweight headsets with microphones are ideal for recovery operations. Extra
batteries or a power supply must be available.
A direct link with the air traffic control service will most likely be required, depending on the
location of the incident site. The main problem will be to cross active runways and taxiways in
order to access the incident or accident site. In most cases the local air traffic control service
will provide an alternative access route to the site in order to reduce the amount of
communication.
It is absolutely mandatory that lines of communication are established and kept open between
all groups at the site, including the recovery team, fire department, Investigative Authority,
police, airport personnel and any contracted assistance.
Short briefing sessions must be held between all groups and parties involved with the recovery
process. These briefings will alert personnel to the upcoming steps, and to any possible hazards
and dangers.
B. Personnel
It should be understood that the aircraft is by definition not under normal maintenance or
operational status. Therefore its recovery involves multiple personnel/parties competencies,
which have not necessarily worked previously together and do not know each other’s
constraints-outcomes. As parties have incompatible goals it is of prime importance that the
recovery manager ensure that information, caution, etc. are well understood and put in practice
by all.
All personnel at the incident site must have proper and adequate personal protective clothing
and equipment. This will change greatly if the existing climate and weather conditions change.

@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

Examples: Safety boots, personal breathing mask, rainwear, parkas and gloves, etc.
Personnel must be kept at a safe distance during any leveling/lifting operation. The recovery
manager must make sure that the personnel knows the dangers of steel cable during pulling and
winching operations, as well as dangers arising due to the nature of the corrective actions
embodiment
Make sure that everyone knows the dangers of going into, climbing-on or going below the
aircraft until it is stable and or adequately shored.
First-aid kits must be available at the site to cope with minor injuries. Detailed information on
how to contact and arrange for emergency medical attention must be available.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT IS CORRECTLY GROUNDED.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL NETWORK IS DE-ENERGIZED


BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT THE EXTERNAL POWER CONNECTOR. IF YOU
DISCONNECT THE EXTERNAL POWER CONNECTOR WHEN THE ELECTRICAL
NETWORK IS ENERGIZED, DANGEROUS ARCING CAN OCCUR.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL NETWORK IS DE-ENERGIZED


BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT THE EXTERNAL POWER CONNECTOR. IF YOU DO
NOT DO SO, THERE IS A RISK OF ARCING AND THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE AIRCRAFT.
C. Electrical Systems
If you took the decision to leave the aircraft with the batteries connected, do an investigation
before you energize the circuits. Leaving the batteries connected can help during the different
steps of the recovery process.
Before you use external aircraft power-supply to help the recovery operations, make sure that
the systems are serviceable.
If the aircraft structure is damaged, it is better to disconnect the batteries and not to try
energize the aircraft with the external supply.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE APPLICABLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN YOU WORK ON THE OXYGEN SYSTEM OR WITH OXYGEN EQUIPMENT.
D. Oxygen Systems
When the aircraft is stable and it is possible to get into the aircraft, make sure that the oxygen
bottle valves in the cockpit and cabin are closed. If they are not, close them manually. If
possible, remove the bottles from the aircraft. Take the decision as to remove or secure the
oxygen generators. As this is a time-consuming task, this decision will be based on the current
dangers involved, the condition of the aircraft and the time available.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE APPLICABLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN YOU REMOVE FUEL OR WHEN YOU WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE THERE IS FUEL.

Page 2
02-40-01 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE TANKER AND THE AIRCRAFT ARE CONNECTED TO
AN APPROVED GROUND AND THAT ELECTRICAL BONDING BETWEEN THE
AIRCRAFT AND THE TANKER IS CONNECTED. ONLY IF THESE CONDITIONS
ARE MET, YOU CAN CONNECT FUEL HOSES OR ADAPTERS BETWEEN THE
AIRCRAFT AND THE FUEL TANKER.
E. Defueling
Make sure that only qualified and approved personnel is near the aircraft during the defuel
process. Steps should be taken to have the Fire Department stand by until the end of this
process.
If there is any sign of fuel leaks, a hazardous materials team must try to contain any fuel
leakage.
F. Equipment
Make sure that contracted assistance, such as heavy-equipment operators, become part of the
group safety team approach and are briefed on all relative safety issues. Keep in mind that most
heavy-equipment operators never worked near an aircraft. It is necessary give them relevant
safety issues. Discuss with these operators the concerns of overloading equipment and the
subsequent possible dangers. Most heavy-equipment operators know these concerns but not as
they relate to the aircraft. These discussions can include areas such as maximum lifting loads
during crane lifts. Maximum jacking point loads and pneumatics lifting bags loading figures and
charts must be available.
G. Recovery Operations
Make sure that all equipment in use is properly rated for the loaded anticipated. Make sure that
the aircraft is stable during all the recovery actions and that tooling used will not cause aircraft
instability. Adherence to maximum wind speeds is required during lifting and leveling operations.
AIRBUS recommends that all loads imposed on the aircraft during a recovery operation must be
recorded. If it is not possible to record the loads, record all the steps used to make sure that you
do not exceed maximum loads. This will have a direct impact on corrective actions to do for
return to service.

TASK 03-00-00-558-801-A01
General
1. General
The aim is to calculate the weight of the aircraft and the CG location in order to anticipate aircraft
stability changes.
The weight of the aircraft and the CG location are the basic data used to calculate the expected
loads and to select a recovery technique (selection of tooling and equipment).
The choice of a leveling/lifting scenario (see 06-60-00) and the use of the logic chart (see DESC
09-20-01-002-A01) will help to control aircraft weight and CG.
2. Inspections
Not Applicable.
3. Job Setup References
Use aircraft reference axes, glossary of terms (see 09-10-02) and the aircraft reference OEW or DOW.
A. Worksheet Principle
The worksheets are used to calculate the NRW and moments.
Chapter 03-60-01 gives the source of the specific data used to complete the ”interim
worksheets” and calculate the final NRW.
The NRW and CG worksheet indicates in front of each item which ARM chapter will give
relevant data to allow completion of ”interim worksheets” and final NRW calculation.
It is understood that NRW, CG position and calculation of expected loads will not be accurate if
generic data is used for the OEW, H-arm and Y-arm data.
It should be noted that the OEW or DOW and the H-arm and Y-arm apply to a specific aircraft
with all landing gears extended, flight controls retracted and thrust reversers in stowed position.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT ALL PERSONNEL IS AT A SAFE DISTANCE DURING THE
REMOVAL OF FUEL, CARGO OR LARGE COMPONENTS. AN UNEQUAL
REMOVAL OF FUEL OR CARGO OR THE REMOVAL OF LARGE COMPONENTS
CAN CHANGE THE CG AND THE LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL STABILITY OF
THE AIRCRAFT. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT IF THE AIRCRAFT
FALLS ON RECOVERY PERSONNEL.

WARNING : YOU MUST MONITOR AIRCRAFT STABILITY, WEIGHT AND CG DURING THE
RECOVERY PROCESS.

NOTE : It is important to use accurate data for the calculation related to the recovery process.
Some of the necessary data is the responsibility of the operator and to be accurate, it must
be applicable to the specific MSN involved. Data supplied by the manufacturer as generic
data is not necessarily accurate for a specific MSN. Refer to the operator’s documentation
for precise calculations.
If some of the necessary data is not available or if it is not possible to get it, then it is the
responsibility of the recovery manager to decide to use estimated data and to continue with
the process.

- H-arm (in meters) = (%RC × 0.041935) + 17.8015
- H-arm (in inches) = (%RC × 1.651) + 700.85
(b) Use the formula that follows to convert H-arm into %RC.
- %RC = (H-arm -- 17.8015) / 0.041935 (H-arm in meters)
- %RC = (H-arm -- 700.85) / 1.651 (H-arm in inches)

A. CG Conversion Principle
(1) The CG location (in the longitudinal axis) can be expressed in % of the Reference Chord
(%RC) or in lever arm distance (H-arm). See FIGURE 03-00-00-991-002-D.
In this manual, the lever arm distance (H-arm and Y-arm) is used to calculate the CG
location calculation.
(a) Use the formula that follows to convert the CG expressed in %RC from other manuals
into H-arm.
- H-arm (in meters) = (%RC × 0.041935) + 22.0687
- H-arm (in inches) = (%RC × 1.651) + 868.85
(b) Use the formula that follows to convert H-arm into %RC.
- %RC = (H-arm -- 22.0687) / 0.041935 (H-arm in meters)
- %RC = (H-arm -- 868.85) / 1.651 (H-arm in inches)

B. Principle of the NRW and Related CG Position Calculation

NOTE : All calculations are based on OEW or DOW aircraft configuration and related CG. The
weight differences between the OEW or DOW and the real status of the aircraft are
then recorded on calculation worksheets. The data on these worksheets is used to
calculate the NRW and CG location of the aircraft.
(1) Find the weight and calculate the related H-arm moment of a known aircraft configuration
(OEW or DOW).

NOTE : For the OEW or DOW configuration, the Y-arm = 0.


(2) Record the values on the NRW and CG worksheet (see 09-50-01) applicable to the
configuration (OEW or DOW) that you will use for the calculation.
(3) For each item on the NRW and CG worksheet, use the related chapter and related interim
worksheet to record the weight, the H-arm moment and the Y-arm moment of each item
which remains on the aircraft, which is removed or missing from the aircraft and which has
an effect on the known OEW or DOW.

NOTE : It is considered that the Y-arm of components located inside the fuselage is
negligible for the calculation made, therefore they are ignored.

NOTE : The ARM gives all necessary data (for each scenario) to allow completion of
interim worksheet.

(4) Use the ”NRW and Related H and Y Moment” worksheet (see 09-50-01) to find the NRW,
the total H-arm moment and the total Y-arm moment.
NET RECOVERABLE WEIGHT =
TOTAL H-ARM MOMENT =
TOTAL Y-ARM MOMENT =
(5) Divide the ”total H-arm moment” value by the NRW value to find the longitudinal CG
position (XG).
(LONGITUDINAL CG POSITION) XG =
(6) Divide the ”total Y-arm moment value” by the NRW value to find the lateral CG position
(YG).

General
1. To safely level or lift a damaged aircraft so that it can be moved on it’s own Landing Gear (or on a
suitable ground equipment trailer) you must establish the weight and center of gravity (CG) of the
aircraft.
This chapter contains the method and calculations needed to establish the effect of the fuel load on
the position of the aircraft CG. The weight and CG positions of the aircraft will change due to the
quantity of fuel in each tank. To find the changes in weight and CG position, calculate:
- The H-arm dimension along the longitudinal plane from nose to tail
(H-arm is a dimension from the CG of an item/component to the horizontal reference datum
plane)
- The Y-arm dimension along the lateral plane from wing tip to wing tip
(Y-arm is a dimension from the CG of an item/component to the lateral arm reference datum
plane).
The curves (see DESC 03-20-01-002-A01) in this chapter contain fuel weight and CG data for
selected incremental fuel volumes for each fuel tank and for each scenario.

NOTE : Fuel density used in calculations is: 0.785 kg/liter and 1.7306138 lb/liter

CURVES
1. General
To find the weight and associated CG of remaining fuel on board, you must know the quantity of fuel
remaining in each tank. If you do not know the quantity of fuel remaining in each tank see 03-20-02
for information about how to assess the fuel quantity without serviceable aircraft systems.
Using the fuel quantity, you must determine the weight and moment (generated by H-arm and Y-
arm) of the fuel, using the curves below.
When you have found the data from the relevant curves, enter this data in the fuel remaining
onboard effect ’worksheet’ boxes (see DESC 09-50-01-001-A01 for calculation worksheets) with the
weight, the H-arm moment and the Y-arm moment values for the remaining fuel in each tank.
For information on defuel procedures see 05-10-00.

NOTE : The curves that follow give estimated values to help you estimate the CG position. The
values are calculated without any pitch or roll angle of the aircraft. Accurate data are
related to your aircraft configuration.

DESC 03-50-01-001-A01
Introduction
1. General
Management of the aircraft weight and related CG is one of the key issues of the recovery plan and
operation. It has a direct impact on aircraft stability, calculation of expected loads and the loads
recorded for a given recovery process.
2. Purpose
For a given aircraft attitude (See 06-60-00), it is necessary first to calculate the aircraft NRW and
CG (See 03-00-00) to make the calculations of the expected loads, based on the leveling/lifting
techniques that will be used.
These expected loads, and then the applied loads must be in the limits that follow:
- Aircraft allowable loads,
- Tooling capabilities.
If these loads are not in the limits, it will be necessary:
- To find an alternative leveling/lifting procedure to make sure that the aircraft, tooling and
equipment support loads are not more than the allowable loads,
- To manage aircraft weight and related CG to bring the expected loads in the allowable loads,
- To use other tooling, if the tool cannot support the expected loads.

NOTE : The tooling should not only be able to support expected loads, but should also be
appropriate for the travel range, arc movement, aircraft stability, ground stability, etc.…

NOTE : It is important to make sure that the aircraft is stable before and during the
implementation of the recovery phase/steps.
The installation of ballast or the removal of equipment, payload, fuel, etc. can help to change the
aircraft weight and CG location.
Every effort should be made to reduce the Total Weight of the aircraft to the minimum possible by
removal of significant amounts of payload. The easiest way to remove quickly large amounts of
weight can be fuel and cargo removal.
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove major aircraft components that are damaged. Before
removal of these components, it is important to do a careful study because it may be better to secure
them in place temporarily.
Galley catering units (trolleys, etc.) have a significant weight and every effort should be made to
remove them. If they remain on board, carefully evaluate their weight when you make the H-arm
calculations.
Food in the catering units can deteriorate quickly. During a long recovery operation, it may become a
priority to remove the catering units for health reasons.

@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

Draining of potable water and lavatory waste and removal of the escape slides and slide rafts can also
reduce the weight.
It is not necessary to drain the fluids, such as hydraulic fluid, from closed systems unless there is
significant leakage that it is not possible to contain.
As every aircraft recovery is different, it will be necessary to decide what and how much must be
removed. These decisions will be based on access, time, cost and the actual ability to do the task.
The records made during the damage survey of the aircraft should include all major components that
are missing or that it is necessary to remove because of damage. It is necessary to include the weight
changes related to these components in the calculation of the aircraft weight and CG location.
Removal of any aircraft components and equipment should be done in accordance with the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM), and recorded with the data collected during the aircraft survey.
3. Calculation Iteration
The calculation iteration from NRW and CG up to expected loads, travel range, arc movement should
be continued until aircraft stability, expected loads, travel range, arc movement etc.… are in the
acceptable limits.
Changes to the different inputs used in the calculations can help to get satisfactory value related to
the settings of a recovery scenario.

Ballast is any heavy material that you use to add weight if you want to stabilize the aircraft with the
CG change method.
Ballast can be non recovery kit stock items (such as sand bags, drums filled with water, livestock feed
sacks, etc.) that you can buy in-situ. It is important that the ballast is easily transportable to the site,
easily managed by the personnel on site and that, if there is a shift in the aircraft CG, no secondary
damage will occur if the ballast moves inside the aircraft or when it is necessary to transport the
aircraft.

5. Procedure

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT ALL PERSONNEL IS AT A SAFE DISTANCE DURING THE
REMOVAL OF FUEL, CARGO OR LARGE COMPONENTS. AN UNEQUAL
REMOVAL OF FUEL OR CARGO OR THE REMOVAL OF LARGE COMPONENTS
CAN CHANGE THE CG AND THE LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL STABILITY OF
THE AIRCRAFT. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT IF THE AIRCRAFT
FALLS ON RECOVERY PERSONNEL.

WARNING : YOU MUST MONITOR AIRCRAFT STABILITY, WEIGHT AND CG DURING THE
RECOVERY PROCESS.

WARNING : YOU MUST CONTACT AIRBUS BEFORE YOU MANUALLY OPERATE A SYSTEM
OR REMOVE A COMPONENT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS IN AN ABNORMAL
ATTITUDE OR DISABLED. THE AMM PROCEDURES ARE APPLICABLE ON AN
AIRCRAFT IN A LEVEL CONFIGURATION ONLY.

NOTE : It is important to use accurate data for the calculation related to the recovery process.
Some of the necessary data is the responsibility of the operator and to be accurate, it must
be applicable to the specific MSN involved. Data supplied by the manufacturer as generic
data is not necessarily accurate for a specific MSN. Refer to the operator’s documentation
for precise calculations.
If some of the necessary data is not available or if it is not possible to get it, then it is the
responsibility of the recovery manager to decide to use estimated data and to continue with
the process.

General
1. Tethering
It is generally agreed that the aircraft must be tethered during recovery leveling and lifting operations.
However, it is necessary to evaluate carefully the benefit and purpose.
A. During leveling or lifting, make sure that the aircraft is stable, and prevent uncontrolled
movement of the aircraft.
This movement can be caused by:
- Change of CG position during aircraft lifting/leveling
- Weather conditions
- Terrain conditions change: humidity, temperature, soil capability.
B. These conditions will help you decide whether to tether the aircraft or not:
- Aircraft attitude
- Leveling/lifting procedure used
- Terrain conditions
- Wind/weather condition
- Increase of aircraft stability foreseen.
It is necessary to do an evaluation of the tethering loads. They must be in the aircraft allowable
limits. During the tethering operation, it is necessary to continuously monitor these loads.
2. Shoring
Shoring of the aircraft can also be necessary to make it stable prior to remove fuel or cargo payload
or to allow a change/repositioning of the recovery tooling.
For the shoring operation, it is possible to use large timbers to support or stabilize the forward or aft
fuselage and/or the lower wing surfaces. These supports must be placed in the correct load bearing
areas and be adequately padded to prevent damage.
For example, it is possible to make fuselage supports or cradles to match the contours of the fuselage
frames. Adequate padding can consist of heavy felt, rubber sheets, rubber tires, mattresses or sand
bags.
The same conditions as above will help you decide whether to shore the aircraft or not.
The shoring loads must be evaluated, be in the aircraft allowable limits and monitored. All applied
loads for allowable skin pressure and fuselage bending moment calculations must also be in the ARM
limits.

Subtask 04-20-00-588-001-A01
A. General
(1) Make sure that maximum weight has been removed to make the aircraft as light as
possible.
(2) Calculate the NRW and CG position (see 03-50-01).

Page 1
04-20-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321

(3) You must also make sure that the wind speed is not more than the maximum allowable
speed. See FIGURE 04-20-00-991-001-AFIGURE 04-20-00-991-001-BFIGURE
04-20-00-991-001-CFIGURE 04-20-00-991-001-D.
(4) Monitor visually the ground contact point of the A/C (either L/G or jack) to detect any
movement or attitude change during the leveling and lifting operation. If load cells are
available on recovery jacks, monitor load indication shift.
The monitoring of the vertical position of the shock absorber in the strut with a reference
line can be also an indicator of A/C stability.
(5) Select the method that you will use to control the CG during the leveling/lifting operation
by addition or removal of ballast and transfer of fuel.
(6) Make sure the aircraft is correctly grounded.
(7) Install landing gear downlock pins in all landing gears that are extended (see TASK
02-30-01-481-801-A01).
(8) Install tethers as soon as possible if the aircraft is unstable and moves in the wind (see
04-30-00).
(9) Install temporary shoring timbers in relation with the tethers to help stabilize the aircraft
when necessary.
(10) Transfer fuel from the low wing to the opposite wing to move weight and leveling/lifting
load from the low wing (see 05-30-00).
It is also possible to use this procedure to reduce the loads on an engine resting on the
ground.
(11) The shock absorber of the low wing landing gear can be inflated while the shock absorber
of the landing gear on the high wing can be deflated to help raise a low wing.
(12) It is possible to operate the spoilers in strong wind conditions to help stabilize the aircraft
(see 04-80-00).
(13) Put the horizontal stabilizer to a slightly nose down position.

NOTE : You can do this only if power is available on the aircraft.


(14) Stabilize the soil around the aircraft so that cargo loading equipment and fuel tankers can
come near to the aircraft.
(15) Make sure that the aircraft CG position stays at least 500 mm (20 in) forward the aircraft
balance point (which is the aircraft support point: the main landing gear or the wing main
jacks).

NOTE : Other operations may be necessary depending on the specific recovery conditions.
(16) To determine the aircraft stability refer to FIGURE 04-20-00-991-001-AFIGURE

General
1. Tethering the Aircraft

CAUTION : YOU MUST NOT USE THE SAME FITTING TO TETHER THE AIRCRAFT AND
TO LIFT IT AT THE SAME TIME.IF YOU USE THE SAME FITTING, THERE IS A
RISK THAT THE LOADS APPLIED WILL BE MORE THAN THE ALLOWABLE
LOADS. THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE.

CAUTION : DURING THE LEVELING AND LIFTING PROCESS, YOU MUST MONITOR AND
ADJUST THE TENSIONING DEVICES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS
APPLIED ARE NOT MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM LOADS.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.
During the lifting operations of a damaged aircraft with cranes, jacks and/or pneumatic lifting bags,
you should tether the aircraft to prevent horizontal movement due to lifting side force (weight of the
aircraft, wind force, etc...).
You can attach the tether to fabric straps installed around the fuselage or the engine pylons or to
different fittings such as pylon hoist fittings, fuselage fittings and vertical stabilizer fittings.
To make sure that the horizontal stability is satisfactory, it is necessary to safely attach the aircraft
tethering cables to heavy vehicles or to a deadman anchors tightly attached to the ground. The
tethers should make different angles with the fuselage centerline to prevent aircraft movement in all
the directions.
A tensioning device should be provided for each tethering line so that tension is satisfactory at each
tether during the lifting operation.
The number of tethers changes with the type of recovery operation and is related to the strength and
direction of the wind.
See FIGURE 04-30-00-991-001-A for wind loads applied on the aircraft on ground.

**ON A/C A318-100 A319-100


2. Tethering Using the Mooring Fittings
Mooring fittings can be installed on the fuselage. See FIGURE 04-30-00-991-002-AFIGURE
04-30-00-991-002-B for the location of the Mooring fittings.
At each position, remove the blanking screws and the remaining sealant before you install the
mooring fitting.
The mooring fittings are parts of the 98D07203016000 GLOBAL SHORING KIT SA.

4. Tethering Using Straps or Cables
You can install straps or cables around the engine pylons and the fuselage main frames: FR15, 30 and
62, 63.
You must install a protection (plywood sheet covered with thick padding) between these straps or
cables and the fuselage and engine pylons. You can attach the tethers, tightly connected to the
ground, to these straps or cables.

6. Tether Lines Installation
The tethering load distribution must be symmetric around the fuselage. For this purpose, you must
install the tethering lines on each side of the fuselage.
Chapter 04-40-00 gives details on the ground anchors that you can use for tethering the aircraft.
FIGURE 04-30-00-991-003-A gives an example of tethering line installation.

General
1. Ground Anchors for Tethers

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.
There are three basic ways of supplying anchors for the tether lines:
- Commercial type ground anchors,
- Dead-man anchors,
- Heavy vehicles.
A. Commercial Type Ground Anchors
There are several types of commercially manufactured ground anchors on the market. Before
installation of any type of ground anchor the manufacturer’s instructions must be reviewed and
the stability of the soil must be analyzed. Different sizes of these anchors are available to cater
for the various loads. Most anchor units must be hammered or turned to a necessary depth
depending on the stability of the soil. Generally longer models are required for loose soils and
shorter ones for harder soils.
B. Dead-Man Anchors
Dead-man anchors are those constructed on the site from available materials such as vehicle
wheels complete with tires, heavy cribbing timbers or railroad ties. A hole is excavated to an
adequate depth and the materials are buried after being attached to cables. The hole is then
back-filled with the cables forming an angle of approximate of 30 degrees between the wheel or
timber and the ground. Use of this type of anchors requires a good experience of their use to
ensure adequate strength.
C. Heavy Vehicles
It is possible to use large and/or heavy vehicles, if there is an adequate supply. Once the vehicle
is used as anchor, it cannot be used for its original purpose during the recovery operation.
2. Anchor Holding Capacity
A. Anchor holding capacity is dependent on the type of soil and the depth of the anchor.
B. The holding capacity of the anchor will decrease as the moisture content of the soil increases.
C. It is necessary to test the soil stability:
- Evaluate the type of anchoring method,
- Determine the holding capacity of a given anchor in various soil types.
D. The soil stability can be tested in the field using a number of portable soil test probes.

1. You must control aircraft weight.

WARNING : PUT SAFETY DEVICES ON THE CARGO DOOR OPENING MECHANISM TO


PREVENT UNWANTED CLOSURE OF THE DOOR.

WARNING : YOU MUST CONTROL ALL MOVEMENT OF THE PAYLOAD DURING REMOVAL
TO PREVENT TAIL TIPPING.

WARNING : YOU MUST CONTROL MOVEMENT AND SPEED OF CONTAINERS AND


PALLETS TO PREVENT RAPID MOVEMENT OF PAYLOAD BECAUSE OF
AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE.

WARNING : YOU MUST MONITOR CHANGE TO CG AND AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE DURING


REMOVAL OF PAYLOAD.
Aircraft weight change will affect CG, aircraft stability and expected loads. It is commonly accepted
that NRW should be the minimum possible, which implies removal of maximum weight.
Make sure that actions taken to reduce weight have an efficient effect.
Make sure that you get the expected results.
You can get maximum weight reduction if you remove weight from:
- Fuel tanks
- Cargo compartments.

NOTE : For disposition and locations of containers and pallets in the cargo compartments, see
09-10-14.
Sometimes, it is not necessary to remove the cargo payload or fuel. This depends on main factors
such as:
- CG control
- Weight and amount of the cargo payload on board
- Need to excavate and build roadways for access
- Need to stabilize the ground so that cargo loaders and fuel trucks can go near the aircraft
- Expected removal: defueling time versus the time requirements to move the aircraft
- Capacity of the available lifting means
- Expected leveling/lifting loads
- Structural limitations on allowable leveling/lifting loads

DESC 05-10-00-001-A01
Defueling
1. Defueling
Defueling is one of the most important tasks to be carried out during an aircraft recovery operation.
The importance relates not only to weight reduction, but also to control of the Center of Gravity
(CG). The total mass of fuel on board the aircraft can be many tons. When the aircraft is in an
abnormal attitude a significant shift in CG can take place as the aircraft is returned to a normal
attitude. The procedures chosen to defuel a disabled aircraft should be made only after a thorough
investigation has been carried out to determine:
- The aircraft attitude
- The extent of damage to the structure and the functional status of the fuel and electrical
systems. The ability to energize the aircraft electrical power system through an external ground
power source (or the aircraft batteries) will reduce the total time required for the defuel process.
The lack of electrical power due to an inoperative electrical system, is the most common problem
associated with the defuel process.
The defuel system uses the same valves and fuel lines as the refuel system and components of the
engine feed and transfer systems. The aircraft can be defueled through one or more of the four hose
adapter couplings at the wing leading edges.
The quantity of fuel removed will vary considerably dependant on the aircraft attitude and the
method used to defuel.
Sufficient storage for the removed fuel must be available. This is a very important issue specially
when large amounts of fuel are involved. If the aircraft was involved in an incident where fuel
contamination is suspected, it is necessary to quarantine the removed fuel. Only when the applicable
authorities have made sure that this fuel is safe to use can it be used according to company and state
regulations.
Remove as much fuel as is possible prior to lifting the aircraft.
Large quantities of fuel can be trapped in the tanks due to abnormal aircraft attitudes. It is possible
that this fuel cannot be removed until the aircraft is level.
When one main landing gear has collapsed (or is deeply bogged in mud) the transfer of fuel from the
low wing to the opposite wing will reduce the weight of the low wing. This weight reduction will shift
the CG of the opposite wing outboard from the main landing gear. This transfer process is only
available when the fuel system is intact and power can be supplied to the fuel pumps and valves.
The defuel process may have to be carried out in several steps, as the aircraft is levelled and
stabilized several times.

05-10-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

Although the removal of the fuel is important, not all recovery operations will require its removal.
Where relatively small quantities of fuel remain, it is not necessary to remove it. This decision can
only be made once the survey has been completed. Decisions can also be made to reduce weight only
to the point where maximum lifting and jacking loads will not be exceeded. This is not a
recommended procedure and should be evaluated thoroughly.
2. General Preparation

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE APPLICABLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN YOU REMOVE FUEL OR WHEN YOU WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE THERE IS FUEL.

WARNING : DO NOT SPILL FUEL ON THE ENGINES OR THE BRAKES. IF YOU SPILL FUEL
ON ENGINES OR BRAKES THAT ARE HOT, IT CAN CAUSES FIRE.
Before you start the defuel, you must make sure that:
A. You obey all the safety precautions applicable to refueling/defueling.
B. The safety area is clearly identified and the tankers are in correct position, see FIGURE
05-10-00-991-004-A.
C. The aircraft is correctly grounded, see 09-10-13.
D. A ground cable connects the tanker to the MLG ground connection.
E. There are no open flames or smoking in the safety area.
F. Only personnel qualified to do the defuel operation are in the safety area.
G. All the equipment and material not necessary for the defuel procedure are moved out of the
safety area.
H. The correct safety and fire fighting equipment is in position with the qualified personnel to
operate it.
J. The escape lanes for the fuel tankers are clear of obstruction.
K. The fuel tankers have sufficient capacity for the quantity to be defueled.
L. Only the electrical equipment necessary for the defuel procedure is used.
M. You do not operate the aircraft main engines or the APU during the defuel procedure.
N. The electrical equipment you use will not create a spark.
P. Caps are installed on all damaged fuel pipes.
Q. All damaged electrical wiring and fuel pumps are isolated.
R. You only use pumps that are serviceable.
S. Do not do the defuel procedure in bad weather conditions. Lightning is dangerous.
T. Do not operate radio, radar equipment or mobile phone during the defuel procedure.
U. Immediately remove all fuel spillage in accordance with local procedures.

AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(2) Install the PURGING TOOL, see FIGURE 05-40-02-991-004-A:


(a) Put the hexagonal end of the bush (2) into the base plate of the applicable drain
valve.
(b) Turn the bush (2) through 30 degrees.
(c) Turn the nut (4) until it touches and seals against the surface (wing surface or
bottom of the water drain valve).
(d) Put the end of the hose into the container.
(e) Hold the bush (2) and turn the screw (3) to the end of its travel. This causes the
plunger (1) to open the drain valve and the fuel to flow.
(3) When the fuel flow stops, hold the bush (2) and turn the screw (3) until the drain valves
closes.
(4) Remove the PURGING TOOL:
- Turn the nut (4) until it is clear of the surface (wing surface or bottom of the water
drain valve).
- Turn the bush (2) back through 30 degrees and remove the purging tool from the
water drain valve.
(5) Examine the water drain valve for leakage. Leaks are not permitted.

NOTE : To increase the defueling rate, you can use a suction pump driven by an air drill.

Cargo Removal
1. General
This chapter gives data related to the removal of the cargo from the aircraft. The removal of the
cargo is an important task carried out during an aircraft recovery operation. Cargo removal will
remove a large amount of weight from the aircraft and can also control the Center of Gravity (CG).
The procedure you select to remove the cargo during the aircraft recovery operation should only be
made after a survey has been carried out to find:
- The aircraft stability and attitude.
- The extent of damage to the aircraft structure and components.
- The condition of the aircraft electrical systems.
- The condition of the cargo loading system.
- If an external ground power source is available.
- If the equipment necessary to remove the cargo is available.
The removal of the cargo is important but not all recovery operations will require its removal. When
a small amount of cargo is loaded it is possible that it is not necessary to remove it. This decision can
only be made once the survey has been completed. Decisions can also be made to remove the cargo
only to the point where the maximum lifting and jacking loads will not be exceeded or the aircraft
recovery operation can be completed.
See the Cargo Loading Manual (CLS) for the cargo removal procedure.

General
1. Large aircraft components are not usually removed during a recovery operation.

WARNING : YOU MUST CONTACT AIRBUS BEFORE YOU MANUALLY OPERATE A SYSTEM
OR REMOVE A COMPONENT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS IN AN ABNORMAL
ATTITUDE OR DISABLED. THE AMM PROCEDURES ARE APPLICABLE ON AN
AIRCRAFT IN A LEVEL CONFIGURATION ONLY.
Removal can be necessary when:
- Damaged components such as flap sections, ailerons, elevators, etc. are not safely attached,
- It is necessary to decrease the weight and/or to control CG,
- The runway or the airport was closed because of the accident. In this case, it is necessary to
remove the vertical stabilizer. This is an unusual event which can occur only if the runway or
airport would be closed for a long time,
- You used escape slides during evacuation. After the evacuation, it is necessary to carefully
disconnect and remove the escape slides,
- Landing gear and/or other components are broken.

DESC 06-00-00-001-A01
General
1. Leveling and Lifting Families
There are 5 basic leveling families (see 06-60-00).
2. Aircraft Pitch and Roll Angles
Before you start the recovery, it is possible to find the aircraft pitch and roll angles when no electrical
power is available.
The items of equipment that you can use are:
- An attitude monitor (clinometer), located in the belly fairing
- A spirit level, a clinometer or similar device located on the forward cargo-compartment floor
beams or on the cabin floor seat tracks.
It is possible to use the same equipment to find when the aircraft is leveled.
3. Leveling/Lifting of the Aircraft

CAUTION : YOU MUST DO THE LATERAL LEVELING BEFORE YOU DO THE


LONGITUDINAL LEVELING.
There are three general methods to level/lift the aircraft. They are given in the chapters that follow:
- Use of Jacks (see 06-30-00),
- Use of Pneumatic Lifting Bags (see 06-40-00.),
- Use of Cranes (see 06-50-00),
- Step by step combination: use of one method and then another one.
A. The leveling/lifting items of equipment are:
- Jacks,
- Pneumatic lifting bags,
- Cranes and slings.
It is possible to use one of these items of equipment alone or more than one in any step-by-step
combination.
B. The procedures in the chapters above describe how to level/lift the aircraft to a height at which
the fuselage datum is 4600 mm (181.10 in) above the ground. This is the height necessary:
- To put the aircraft in a hangar or on maintenance jacks,
- To make the extension of the landing gear possible,
- To put the aircraft, or part of it, on a mobile device.

Page 1
06-00-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

However, to replace a landing gear, the necessary height of the fuselage datum is 5210 mm
(205.12 in) above the ground.
C. The aircraft can be in such an attitude that it is necessary to do the leveling operation before
the lifting operation.
In this case, you must keep the aircraft in a level attitude during the lifting phase.

NOTE : As each aircraft recovery situation is different, you must analyze the conditions and
available equipment before you decide which leveling or lifting procedure you will use.

Vertical Loads Determination
1. General
This section gives data about the vertical loads related to aircraft leveling/lifting during the recovery
operation and about the way to calculate them.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.
2. Inspections
Not Applicable.
3. Job Setup References
A. General
The theoretical calculations that follow help to find the loads necessary for leveling/lifting. They
also help to:
- Make sure the aircraft is stable,
- Do a selection of applicable methods of leveling/lifting,
- Do a check of the local structural capability of the aircraft to prevent secondary damage,
- Make sure the recovery procedure is applicable to the related weight condition of the
aircraft.
The simplified calculations are related to the assumptions that follow:
- The aircraft structure is considered as rigid. The calculations do not take into account the
flexibility in the aircraft structure,
- The leveling/lifting is done at 3 points (isostatic conditions),
- The calculation take into account only the vertical loads,
- You do the leveling/lifting operations on solid ground conditions and the slings are without
elongation,
- The calculation do not take into account the effects of wind and temperature.
B. Location of the 3 lifting points on the aircraft X and Y reference axes
See FIGURE 06-10-00-991-001-A.
- For the left wing: X1 and Y1 position of the lifting point,
- For the right wing: X3 and Y3 position of the lifting point,
- For the fuselage: X2 and Y2 position of the lifting point.
As the fuselage lifting point is located on the aircraft centerline, Y2 = 0.

NOTE : During the leveling/lifting procedure, it can be necessary to use only one lifting point.
The aircraft will then pivot around a fixed point such as a main landing gear. For
example, with the nose landing gear collapsed, there is only one lifting point and the
aircraft will pivot around main landing gears.

A. Load Calculation

NOTE : Principle for the calculation of the loads at the recovery leveling/lifting points.
(1) Find the 3 leveling/lifting points and related X and Y values, applicable to the attitude of
the aircraft and the related scenario (see 06-60-00).
(2) Find the values of the NRW, XG and YG (X and Y coordinates of aircraft CG position)
calculated for your aircraft condition (see 03-00-00).
(3) Record these values in the load calculation worksheet (see FIGURE 06-10-00-991-002-A)
and calculate the necessary intermediate values.
(4) Use the results of the load calculation worksheet (see FIGURE 06-10-00-991-002-A) to find
the values of the vertical loads (Fz) at the 3 leveling/lifting points.
Fz1 = NRW × ((YG - Y2)(X2 - X3) - (XG - X2)(Y2 - Y3)) / ((X1 - X2)(Y2 - Y3) - (Y1 -

B. Load Distribution Compared to Allowable Loads
(1) For jacks: You must compare the vertical load directly with the allowable load.
(2) For pneumatic lifting bags:
Use the formula that follows to calculate the pressure of the pneumatic lifting bag:
p = Fz / (L × W)
L = length and W = width of the pneumatic lifting bag.
This pressure must be less than or equal to:
- The maximum pressure of the pneumatic lifting bag,
- The maximum allowable pressure that the pneumatic lifting bag can apply to the
aircraft structure.
(3) For slings:
Use the formula that follows to calculate the load on each sling:
f = Fz / N
N = number of slings.
This load must be less than or equal to the aircraft maximum allowable load at the related
frame.

NOTE : If loads at leveling/lifting points are not in the allowable values, it is necessary to
make new calculations for the recovery configuration, with:
- A modified weight and balance,
- A change in the recovery means arrangements,
- The use of other applicable recovery methods,
- Or any combinations of these modifications.

TASK 06-10-00-970-802-A01
Side loads on Jack Fittings
1. General
This section gives data about the side loads on jack fittings related to the aircraft leveling/lifting
phase during the recovery operation and about the way to calculate them.
When you level the aircraft from an unusual attitude, an arc movement (horizontal translation) of the
jacking point is related to the displacement.
If you use a special recovery jack, the jack head can move along the arc movement. Thus, there are
no related side loads applied on the jacking point.
If you use a jack that cannot move along the arc movement, the jack will apply side loads to the
aircraft structure. If these side loads are more than the allowable loads, they will cause damage to the
aircraft structure. It is necessary to calculate the side loads for each leveling/lifting scenario.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.

5. Procedure

CAUTION : BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE A JACK THAT CANNOT MOVE ALONG THE ARC
MOVEMENT. THE JACK WILL APPLY SIDE LOADS TO THE AIRCRAFT
STRUCTURE. IF THESE LOADS ARE MORE THAN THE ALLOWABLE LOADS,
THEY WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE.

Subtask 06-10-00-970-002-A01
A. Load Calculation
(1) Find the aircraft recovery configuration and a leveling/lifting method.

Page 6
06-10-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(2) Measure the aircraft pitch (β) and lateral (α) angles with one of the tools or the method
that follow:
- An attitude monitor (clinometer), in the belly fairing, 192MB,
- A spirit level, a clinometer or equivalent device that can be used on the forward cargo-
compartment floor beams or on the cabin floor seat tracks,
- The aircraft geometry and characteristic points.
See 06-60-00 to find the applicable recovery scenario and the related typical aircraft
possible angles.

NOTE : The typical angles are given as an example. For all scenarios, you must measure
the aircraft pitch and lateral angles for each recovery operation before you start
any leveling/lifting procedure. The actual angles are related to the weight and
CG configuration of the recovery aircraft.
(3) Calculate the NRW and CG position (see 03-00-00) and calculate the vertical loads (Fz)
(see TASK 06-10-00-970-801-A01) at the leveling/lifting point.
(4) Calculate the Fx side load (component on the X axis).
Fx = tan β × Fz
(5) Calculate the Fy side load (component on the Y axis).
Fy = tan α × Fz
(6) Calculate the resultant (R) of Fx and Fy:
R = √(Fx2 + Fy2)
(7) Make sure the resultant R is less than the maximum allowable side load. If the side load is
not less than or equal to the maximum allowable load, you must reduce the applied vertical
load until the resultant side load is less than the allowable side load. To reduce the applied
vertical load, you can reduce the weight of the aircraft.

1. Location of Primary Jacking Points

CAUTION : YOU CAN USE ALL COMBINATIONS OF THE JACKING POINTS (ONE OR MORE)
TO LEVEL/LIFT THE AIRCRAFT. THE JACK LOADS AT EACH JACKING POINT
MUST NOT BE MORE THAN THE ALLOWABLE LOADS (VERTICAL (FZ) AND
HORIZONTAL (FH).

CAUTION : WHEN YOU LEVEL/LIFT THE AIRCRAFT, YOU MUST CONTINUOUSLY


MONITOR AND RECORD THE LOADS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS
YOU APPLY ARE NOT MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOADS. IF
THE LOADS ARE MORE THAN THE ALLOWABLE LOADS, THIS CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE.

CAUTION : DO NOT USE THE SAME FITTING FOR TETHERING AND LIFTING OF THE
AIRCRAFT AT THE SAME TIME. THE LOADS ON THE FITTING WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.
There are three primary jacking points on the aircraft (See FIGURE 06-30-00-991-008-A):
- One under the left wing, at RIB 9
- One under the right wing, at RIB 9
- One on the lower forward fuselage, in front of the nose landing gear doors, at FR 8.
2. Location of Auxiliary Jacking Points
An auxiliary jacking point for a safety stay is located on the lower aft fuselage, between FR 73 and
FR 74. (See FIGURE 06-30-00-991-008-A)
A jack must be installed in this position only once the aircraft is level. This point must be used to
make the aircraft stable only.
3. The maximum aircraft weight for jacking is 59000 kg (130072.70 lb).
4. Maximum Loads
See 06-10-00 to determine the loads related to the aircraft attitude, to select the leveling/lifting
procedure.
See FIGURE 06-30-00-991-012-A to determine loads on jacking points.
Fz is the load applied in the vertical direction.
Fh is the load applied in all horizontal directions. See TASK 06-10-00-970-802-A01 to calculate the
side loads.
Airbus recommends that you use load cells and lifting devices with side load measuring equipment
that can accurately record and report the jacking point side loads.

Type of Jacks
1. There are three general types of jacks:
A. Special Aircraft Recovery Jacks
This type of jack can move along the arc movement in the specified limits.
The jack manufacturer instructions must be obeyed.
There are two primary types of aircraft recovery jacks: hydraulic and low profile multi-stage
jacks:
- Monopole design:
This is a multi stage single ram attached to a large base plate. The jacking head can move
along the arc movement in the specified limits.
- Tripod design:
This type of jack is almost the same as a hanger or maintenance tripod jack. The difference
is that it is possible to operate and control each multi-stage leg independently. Pressure
gauges are installed on each leg to monitor loads independently. The operator can make
sure the jack head moves in a limited arc. It is possible to operate the jack manually with a
lever or control it from a powered console.
B. Standard Maintenance Tripod Jacks
This type of jack is can only do a very limited arc movement. We recommend you do not use a
standard maintenance jack for recovery operations. When you use a standard maintenance jack,
it is necessary to do the lifting operation in small steps and reposition the jack between each
step.
C. Bottle or Wheel Jacks
They can be used for initial leveling or lifting in constricted areas. They have the same limit as
the standard maintenance tripod jacks.

General Preparation and Instructions for Leveling and Lifting the Aircraft with Jacks
1. General
This section gives the data related to the use of jacks to level and lift the aircraft: allowable loads,
general preparation and instructions.

NOTE : If you use jacks to level or lift the aircraft, you must put them in position on a satisfactory
base. The surface must be flat and the jack must be plumb in place.
2. Inspections
Not Applicable.
3. Job Setup References
A. General
See DESC 06-30-00-001-A01DESC 06-30-00-001-B01DESC 06-30-00-001-C01DESC
06-30-00-001-D01 for the localization of the jacking points and allowable jacking loads.
See TASK 06-30-00-581-802-A01 for data about the installation of a jack adaptor.
When you lift the aircraft with three jacks, the weight of the aircraft must not be more than the
maximum jacking weight. The maximum jacking weight is not applicable for leveling with one
or two jacks but the load on each jack must not be more than the maximum allowable loads.
When you lift the aircraft with jacks, it is necessary to monitor the loads at the related jacking
points.
You must also make sure that the wind speed is not more than the maximum allowable speed.

06-30-00-001-D01
B. Aircraft Jacking Stability
When you use jacks to level or lift the aircraft, you must put them in position on a satisfactory
base. The surface must be flat and the jack must be plumb when it is in position. The load
bearing capacity of the soil must support the loads applied at the jack footprint.
You can use plywood sheets with steel plates on top to make the ground more rigid. In some
conditions, it can be necessary to excavate and prepare a base of coarse gravel before you place
the plywood sheets and steel plates.

A. General

NOTE : Before you start to level or lift the aircraft with jacks, you must make sure that the
personnel know the instructions and conditions below and that they obey these
instructions and conditions.
(1) Do not level or lift the aircraft with jack(s) in gusty wind conditions.
(2) Do not lift the aircraft with jacks during steady wind conditions.
(3) Find the maximum allowable wind speed related to your aircraft configuration. See DESC
06-30-00-001-A01DESC 06-30-00-001-B01DESC 06-30-00-001-C01DESC 06-30-00-001-
D01.
(4) Correctly tether the aircraft before leveling or lifting with jacks. This is to prevent aircraft
movement that you cannot control during the leveling or lifting operation. See 04-30-00.
(5) Read the manufacturer instructions related to the special jack(s) used.
(6) Only the personnel who knows the operation of jacks and aircraft jacking procedures are in
charge of the jacking operation.
(7) Confirm the NRW and CG position. See 03-50-01.
(8) Calculate the anticipated vertical load on each jacking point to be used to make sure this
load is not more than the maximum allowable load. (See TASK 06-10-00-970-801-A01 and
DESC 06-30-00-001-A01DESC 06-30-00-001-B01DESC 06-30-00-001-C01DESC
06-30-00-001-D01)
If the necessary load on the jacking point is more than the allowable load for that jacking
point, reduce the aircraft weight until the lifting load is less than the allowable load or
make a selection of different leveling or lifting procedure.
(9) Make sure each available jack can support the necessary load (vertical and side), arc
movement and travel range. Also make sure it can be put in the boundaries of the fuselage
or wing jacking points.
To reduce the necessary lifting load, it is recommended to reduce the aircraft weight with
the removal of cargo or payload from the aircraft before a leveling or lifting operation (See
05-50-01 and 05-60-00).

Page 26
06-30-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(10) Calculate the expected arc movement at each jacking point during the leveling operation.
(See TASK 06-10-00-970-803-A01)
Calculate the side load if necessary. (See TASK 06-10-00-970-802-A01)
(11) If the jack cannot move along the necessary arc movement, you must calculate the
expected side load on the jacking point and make sure the expected side load is not more
than the allowable load on the jacking point.
(12) Install fittings and/or jack pad adapters at the necessary jacking points. See TASK
06-30-00-581-802-A01.
(13) If necessary, excavate a sufficiently large area to make a stable platform as a base for each
jack. Make sure that the ground/soil can support the load at each jack footprint, and that
will stay stable during the leveling or lifting operation. See TASK 02-20-02-285-801-A01)
Make a platform that is satisfactory for the jack height when in compressed position. Make
sure that the platform is sufficiently large to change the position of the jack during the
leveling operation if necessary. If the jack in the extended position cannot lift the aircraft
sufficiently, it is necessary to make a timber platform that is sufficiently high.
(14) Put wheel chocks in front of and behind the wheels of each extended landing gear in
contact with the ground.
(15) Install the landing gear downlock pins in all extended landing gears. See TASK
02-30-01-481-801-A01.
(16) Put each jack in position below the jacking point and extend the jack to engage it in the
fitting.
(17) Before you start the jacking operation, we recommend that you mark the values of the
necessary lifting load to be applied on the jack on each load cell indicator (use a strip of
colored adhesive tape for example).
Also, we recommend that you mark the maximum allowable load of each jacking point to
prevent overload. This gives the recovery personnel better visibility from the ground.
(18) Each jack operator must have a good visibility to the person in charge of the lifting
operation.
Coordination between all jack operators is very important. Two-way voice activated
headsets are very good for this type of operation.
(19) You must use and monitor plumb bobs and levels during a leveling or lifting operation.
(20) Monitor the CG during the full leveling procedure and be prepared to control with ballast if
necessary. See 03-50-01.
(21) If you use tethers, they must be adjusted and the loads must be monitored when you level
or lift the aircraft.
(22) Install aft tipping protection if necessary.
(23) When you use a jack at the safety stay position to make the aircraft stable, you must
monitor the jack and correctly adjust the loads.

Page 27
06-30-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(24) Make sure the loads at each jack are not more than the allowable loads and that you
record all the loads applied. See DESC 06-30-00-001-A01DESC 06-30-00-001-B01DESC
06-30-00-001-C01DESC 06-30-00-001-D01.
(25) Level the aircraft:
(a) With a special recovery jack:
If you use a special recovery jack that can move along the arc movement, make sure
the jack can do the necessary arc movement to level the aircraft. Include side loads
caused by the jack.
If the jack cannot do the total necessary arc movement, gradually level the aircraft in
small steps and change the position of the jack between each step.
(b) With a standard jack:
If the jack cannot sufficiently move along the arc movement or if you use a standard
jack, gradually level the aircraft in small steps and change the position of the jack
between each step.

NOTE : If possible, you should use a special recovery jack. Step by step leveling is
not the recommended method to level the aircraft.
- Start jacking until you get the maximum jack extension or maximum arc
movement.
- Lock the jack at this position and make sure the aircraft is in a stable
configuration.
- At the same time, make shoring under the closest load bearing frame or frames
and make sure the loads are not more the maximum allowable loads.
- Compress the jack, make the necessary stable-base platform and change the
position of the jack. Do the procedure again until the aircraft is level.
(26) It is possible to use axle jacks with shoring and timber bases at the primary jacking points
to lift the aircraft to the height where recovery jacks can be fitted. This is not a
recommended procedure because of the limited arc movement capacity of the jack.
(27) When the fuselage and wings are level, and if it is necessary to lift the aircraft, use the 3
primary jacking points to lift the aircraft to the necessary height. (See AMM
07-11-00-581-001)
Do not lift the aircraft until all the aircraft (wings and fuselage) is in a level attitude.
(28) When the aircraft is at the necessary height:
(a) Make shoring to support the fuselage and/or wings, or leave the jacks in place as a
safety measure during work on the landing gears.
(b) Extend the landing gear(s) and install the downlock pin(s).
(c) Or repair or replace the landing gear(s).
(d) Or, if it is not possible to make the landing gear(s) serviceable, place the forward
fuselage and/or the wing(s) on a mobile device. See 07-60-00.

A. General

NOTE : Before you start to level or lift the aircraft with pneumatic lifting bags, you must
make sure that the personnel know the instructions and conditions below and that
they obey these instructions and conditions.
(1) Read the pneumatic lifting bag manufacturer instructions applicable to the pneumatic
lifting bags that you use.
(2) Only the personnel that knows the operation of pneumatic lifting bags and aircraft jacking
procedures should be in charge of the pneumatic lifting bags operation.
(3) Do not lift the aircraft with pneumatic lifting bags in gusty wind conditions. Follow the
manufacturer limitations.
(4) Do not lift the aircraft with pneumatic lifting bags during steady wind conditions. Follow
the manufacturer limitations.
(5) Correctly tether the aircraft before leveling or lifting with pneumatic lifting bags. This is to
prevent aircraft movement that you cannot control during the leveling or lifting operation.
See 04-30-00.
(6) Confirm the aircraft NRW and CG. See 03-00-00.
(7) Calculate the anticipated vertical load on each lifting bag position to be used to make sure
the necessary load is not more than the maximum allowable load on the skin. See TASK
06-10-00-970-801-A01.
If the necessary load on the bearing area of the pneumatic lifting bag is more than the
allowable load for that leveling/lifting point, reduce the aircraft weight until the lifting load
is less than the allowable load or install additional pneumatic lifting bags to increase
contact surface to reduce applied loads or make a selection of another leveling or lifting
procedure.

Page 8
06-40-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(8) Calculate the total lift of each pneumatic lifting bag used. Make sure each available lifting
bag can support the necessary loads (vertical and side), arc movement and travel range,
and can fit in the limits of the fuselage or wing contact zone.
To reduce the necessary leveling/lifting load, we recommend that you reduce the aircraft
weight with the removal of cargo and/or fuel if necessary (05-00-00) from the aircraft
before a leveling/lifting operation, see 06-10-00.
(9) Calculate the expected arc movement during the leveling/lifting operation, at the center of
the bearing area of each pneumatic lifting bag . Also calculate the side load if necessary,
see 06-10-00.
(10) Before you use pneumatic lifting bags, do an inspection of the structure to make sure there
is no damage in the leveling/lifting area. If there is damage, the pneumatic lifting bags
must be installed at least at one non-damaged rib/fuselage frame away from the damaged
area. Remove all sharp edges from the contact area. Use a heavy tarpaulin or foam rubber
mattress between the aircraft skin and the pneumatic lifting bag to prevent damage.
(11) Put the pneumatic lifting bags in the allowable bearing areas, and make sure no sharp
edges or peaks (damaged skin , protruding structure, antennas ...) are in the area where
the bags will be installed.
(12) Remove some unwanted items (antennas, ...) from the aircraft before you install the
pneumatic lifting bags, see DESC 06-00-00-002-A01.
(13) If necessary, excavate a sufficiently large area to make a stable base for the pneumatic
lifting bags. Make sure that the ground/soil can support the load at each lifting bag
footprint, and will stay stable during the leveling/lifting operation, see 04-50-00. Make a
satisfactory base for the height of the compressed pneumatic lifting bags. Make sure that
the base is sufficiently large to change the position of the pneumatic lifting bags during the
leveling/lifting operation if necessary. If the inflated pneumatic lifting is not sufficiently
high to lift the aircraft, it will be necessary to make a sufficiently high platform. It is
possible to make this platform with timber or to use an inflatable type platform.
(14) The arc movement will cause a transversal translation of the aircraft. If this movement is
more than the allowable limit of the pneumatic lifting bag (see manufacturer instructions),
a leveling/lifting operation with several steps is necessary to reposition the pneumatic lifting
bags. The use of a secondary method of lifting (for example jacks) is necessary.
(15) If necessary, put wheel chocks in front and behind the wheels of each landing gear that is
extended and in contact with the ground.
(16) If possible, install landing gear downlock pins in all landing gears that are extended.
(17) Each operator at the pneumatic-lifting bag control console must have a good visibility of
the leveling/lifting operation. Coordination between all the console operators is very
important. Two-way voice headsets are recommended for this type of operation.
(18) No personnel must be in or below the aircraft during the leveling/lifting process.

@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(19) Movement of fuel in the wing tanks because of aircraft leveling/lifting can cause a change
in the aircraft CG position. It is thus recommended that all fuel is removed from the
aircraft before leveling/lifting, see 03-20-01. This will also reduce the necessary lifting
loads.
(20) Anticipate the CG movement before you start the leveling/lifting process and be prepared
to control with ballast.
(21) Monitor and record the applied loads (pressure in the pneumatic lifting bags) at all times
during the leveling/lifting process.
(22) Before the leveling/lifting operation, make an estimate of the arc movement, see TASK
06-10-00-970-803-A01.
During the leveling/lifting operation, you must monitor the lateral translation of the
aircraft (with the use of a plumb-line) and compare it to the calculation and the pneumatic
lifting bag limitations (see manufacturer instructions) to prevent any aircraft sudden
movement or sliding.
(23) Install aft tipping protection if necessary.
(24) Before you inflate the pneumatic lifting bags, make sure that you know all the warnings
and safety precautions. Make sure that all equipment (such as shoring material or jacks) is
prepared and available to use.
(25) Obey the manufacturer’s instructions: inflate the lifting bags slowly and adjust the tethers
when the aircraft starts to move.
(26) When the fuselage and wing are level, and if the aircraft needs to be lifted, it is
recommended to use the 3 jacking points to lift the aircraft to the necessary height, see
AMM 07-11-00-581-001. It is mandatory that the aircraft is in a level attitude (wing and
fuselage) before you lift it.
(27) When the aircraft is at the necessary height:
(a) Use shoring to support the fuselage and/or wings, or install jacks (see 06-30-00) as a
safety measure during any work on the landing gears.
(b) Extend the landing gear(s) and install downlock pin(s), see TASK 02-30-01-481-801-
A01,
(c) Or repair or replace the landing gear(s),
(d) Or, if it is not possible to make the landing gear(s) serviceable, place the forward
fuselage and/or the wing(s) on a mobile device, see 07-60-00.
(28) After the recovery process, do an inspection of the skin in the contact areas of the
pneumatic bag for scratches, nicks and gouges caused by sand or stones trapped between
the contact surfaces.
You must also do an inspection of the wing tank access panels in the contact area.
Report any sign of damage.

TASK 06-50-00-581-804-A01
Forward Fuselage Crane Lifting with Slings
1. General
This section describes the use of slings and cranes for leveling and lifting: sling contact areas, crane
lifting points and allowable loads.
You can use this task in combination with the Wing Crane Lifting procedure (see TASK
06-50-00-581-802-A01) or one other wing lifting method (jacking or use of pneumatic lifting bags).
You must level the wings before you lift the fuselage. You must not lift the wings and the fuselage at
the same time.
2. Inspections
Not applicable.
3. Job Setup References
A. Location
You can install slings under the fuselage, at FR21, FR23 and FR24. See FIGURE
06-50-00-991-023-AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-023-B.
Before you install the slings, you must make sure that there is no structural damage in the
bearing area. If you find damage, contact Airbus. Frames with structural damage cannot
support lifting loads.

NOTE : Some items (drains, antennas, etc.) can prevent sling installation or cause damage to
them. Thus, you must remove these items before you install the slings. See DESC
06-00-00-002-A01 for the list of leveling/lifting obstructions.
B. Allowable Loads
The maximum total lifting load at the forward fuselage is 18 000 daN (40 466 lbf). It is not
permitted to apply the maximum allowable load per frame at more than 3 frames at the forward
fuselage.
The maximum lifting force is related to the number of slings used and the length of the spreader
bar. See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-025-A for the lifting scenarios.
A. Multiple sling loads with 2 cranes:
FR21, FR23 and FR24: maximum lifting force of 6 000 daN (13 489 lbf) per sling and 18
000 daN (40 466 lbf) for the total load on the forward fuselage.
B. Multiple sling loads with a spreader bar and 1 crane:
FR21, FR23 and FR24: maximum lifting force of 6 000 daN (13 489 lbf) per sling and 18
000 daN (40 466 lbf) for the total load on the forward fuselage.
C. Specific tools
For leveling/lifting of airframes with fuselage recovery slings, specific tooling is necessary:
- Slings
- Multiple-sling adaptors

5. Procedure

CAUTION : YOU MUST DO THE LATERAL LEVELING BEFORE YOU DO THE


LONGITUDINAL LEVELING.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS ON THE AIRFRAME ARE LESS THAN THE
ALLOWABLE LOADS WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS APPLY
LOADS THAT DO NOT OCCUR IN NORMAL OPERATION.

CAUTION : DO NOT INSTALL THE SLINGS UNDER PROTRUDING STRUCTURES (FLAP


TRACKS, PYLON FAIRINGS, DRAINS, ANTENNAS, ETC.), SHARP EDGES OR
ANGLES BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SLINGS.

Subtask 06-50-00-581-006-A01
A. Installation
(1) Slings
The slings can have one or more straps. The slings are in direct contact with the aircraft
fuselage skin. Therefore, they must be made from soft nylon in order to prevent scratches
and gouges. The minimum width of the straps must be 200 mm (8 in).
The slings must be installed at the exact location of the frame, and centered on the frame
rivet line that you can identify on the aircraft fuselage. See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-023-
AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-023-B.
For scenario 1A (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-025-A) the minimum necessary sling length is
10 300 mm (405.51 in).

Page 4
06-50-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

For scenario 1B the minimum necessary sling length is related to the length of the available
spreader bar. It is recommended not to use slings with straps longer than necessary.
The two ends of the straps must have suitable loops for attachment to the crane hook or
the multiple sling adaptor.
The straps must be in good condition without broken fibers, cuts, nicks or gouges.
SeeFIGURE 06-50-00-991-024-A for the selection and installation of slings on the fuselage.
(2) Multiple-Sling Adaptor
The multiple sling adaptor must be suitable for scenarios 1A, 1B, if more than one sling is
necessary for lifting (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-026-A)
The multiple-sling adaptor makes a link between the fuselage slings. The function of the
adaptor is to make sure that the loads are equally applied to each sling and to keep the
same distance between the slings as the frame pitch (533 mm / 21 in). It is possible to use
the multiple sling adaptor with a different number of slings, from 2 slings to 3 slings.
The total lifting force applied to each sling must not be more than 6 000 daN (13 489 lbf),
or equivalent to 3 000 daN (6 744 lbf) at each side of the sling. When you use multiple
slings, the total lifting load at the forward fuselage must not be more than the maximum
allowable load.
To obtain the constant load distribution described above, the multiple sling adaptor must
obey specific design requirements (See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-026-A)
Multiple-sling adaptor design data:
- Cable tension in the pulley assembly: a maximum vertical force of 6 000 daN (13 489
lbf) can be applied to each frame station, equivalent to 3 000 daN (6 744 lbf)
maximum at each end of the fuselage slings. This load is divided by two due to the
pulley design. Therefore, the cable tension limit load in the pulley assembly is 1 500
daN (3 372 lbf). Ground service equipment for hoisting must have a minimum safety
factor of 5.0. Therefore, the cable and pulley assembly must be sufficiently strong to
support a total load of 7 500 daN (16 860 lbf).
(3) Spreader Bar
When only one crane is available, you can use a transverse spreader bar. The allowable
load at each frame station depends on the fuselage sling angle. The maximum load of 6
000 daN (13 489 lbf) per frame station is only permitted with a sling angle of 180 degrees.
To obtain this angle, it is necessary either to use 2 cranes or, alternatively, to use a
transverse spreader bar with a length equal to the fuselage diameter (3 950 mm / 155.51
in). For lifting angles other than 180˚, contact Airbus.

NOTE : Multiple-sling systems supplied by vendors usually come with the transverse
spreader bar.

A. Installation
(1) Slings
The slings can have one or more straps. The slings are in direct contact with the aircraft

For scenario 1A (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-029-A) the minimum necessary sling length is
10 300 mm (405.51 in).
For scenario 1B the minimum necessary sling length is related to the length of the available

Page 12
06-50-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

The two ends of the straps must have suitable loops for attachment to the crane hook or
the multiple sling adaptor.
The straps must be in good condition without broken fibers, cuts, nicks or gouges.
SeeFIGURE 06-50-00-991-028-A for the selection and installation of slings on the fuselage.
(2) Multiple-Sling Adaptor
The multiple sling adaptor must be suitable for scenarios 1A, 1B, if more than one sling is
necessary for lifting (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-030-A)
The multiple-sling adaptor makes a link between the fuselage slings. The function of the
adaptor is to make sure that the loads are equally applied to each sling and to keep the
same distance between the slings as the frame pitch (533 mm / 21 in). It is possible to use
the multiple sling adaptor with a different number of slings, from 2 slings to 5 slings.
The total lifting force applied to each sling must not be more than 7 000 daN (15 737lbf),
or equivalent to 3 500 daN (7 868 lbf) at each side of the sling. When you use multiple
slings, the total lifting load at the forward fuselage must not be more than the maximum
allowable load.
To obtain the constant load distribution described above, the multiple sling adaptor must
obey specific design requirements (See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-030-A)
Multiple-sling adaptor design data:
- Cable tension in the pulley assembly: a maximum vertical force of 7 000 daN (15
737lbf) can be applied to each frame station, equivalent to 3 500 daN (7 868 lbf)
maximum at each end of the fuselage slings. This load is divided by two due to the
pulley design. Therefore, the cable tension limit load in the pulley assembly is 1 750
daN (3 934 lbf). Ground service equipment for hoisting must have a minimum safety
factor of 5.0. Therefore, the cable and pulley assembly must be sufficiently strong to
support a total load of 8 750 daN (19 670 lbf).
(3) Spreader Bar
When only one crane is available, you can use a transverse spreader bar. The allowable
load at each frame station depends on the fuselage sling angle. The maximum load of 7
000 daN (15 737 lbf) per frame station is only permitted with a sling angle of 180 degrees.
To obtain this angle, it is necessary either to use 2 cranes or, alternatively, to use a
transverse spreader bar with a length equal to the fuselage diameter (3 950 mm / 155.51
in). For lifting angles other than 180˚, contact Airbus.

NOTE : Multiple-sling systems supplied by vendors usually come with the transverse
spreader bar.

06-00-00-002-A01 for the list of leveling/lifting obstructions.
C. Allowable Loads
- For scenario 1
The maximum total lifting load at the forward fuselage is 15 000 daN (33 721 lbf). It is not
permitted to apply the maximum allowable load per frame at more than 3 frames at the
forward fuselage.
- For scenario 2
The maximum total lifting load at the forward fuselage is 46 000 daN (103 410 lbf). It is
not permitted to apply the maximum allowable load per frame at more than 10 frames at
the forward fuselage.
If you use more than 4 slings in forward fuselage (more than 16 000 daN) lifting capacity),
you must install the slings at the frames nearest to the wing (< FR 35.3). FIGURE
06-50-00-991-032-A .
The maximum total lifting load at the aft fuselage is 48 000 daN (103 410 lbf). It is not
permitted to apply the maximum allowable load per frame at more than 4 frames at the aft

5. Procedure

CAUTION : YOU MUST DO THE LATERAL LEVELING BEFORE YOU DO THE


LONGITUDINAL LEVELING.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS ON THE AIRFRAME ARE LESS THAN THE
ALLOWABLE LOADS WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS APPLY
LOADS THAT DO NOT OCCUR IN NORMAL OPERATION.

CAUTION : DO NOT INSTALL THE SLINGS UNDER PROTRUDING STRUCTURES (FLAP


TRACKS, PYLON FAIRINGS, DRAINS, ANTENNAS, ETC.), SHARP EDGES OR
ANGLES BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SLINGS.

Subtask 06-50-00-581-008-A01
A. Installation
(1) Slings
The slings can have one or more straps. The slings are in direct contact with the aircraft
fuselage skin. Therefore, they must be made from soft nylon in order to prevent scratches
and gouges. The minimum width of the straps must be 200 mm (8 in).
The slings must be installed at the exact location of the frame, and centered on the frame
rivet line that you can identify on the aircraft fuselage. See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-032-A.
For scenario 1A and 2A (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-034-A) the minimum necessary sling
length is 10 300 mm (405.51 in).

06-50-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

For scenario 1B and 2B the minimum necessary sling length is related to the length of the
available spreader bar. It is recommended not to use slings with straps longer than
necessary.
The two ends of the straps must have suitable loops for attachment to the crane hook or
the multiple sling adaptor.
The straps must be in good condition without broken fibers, cuts, nicks or gouges. See
FIGURE 06-50-00-991-033-A for the selection and installation of slings on the fuselage.

For scenario 1A and 2A (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-044-A) the minimum necessary sling
length is 10 300 mm (405.51 in).
For scenario 1B and 2B the minimum necessary sling length is related to the length of the
available spreader bar. It is recommended not to use slings with straps longer than
necessary.
The two ends of the straps must have suitable loops for attachment to the crane hook or
the multiple sling adaptor.
The straps must be in good condition without broken fibers, cuts, nicks or gouges. See
FIGURE 06-50-00-991-043-A for the selection and installation of slings on the fuselage.
(3) Multiple-Sling Adaptor
The multiple sling adaptor must be suitable for scenarios 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B if more than
one sling is necessary for lifting (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-035-A).
The multiple-sling adaptor makes a link between the fuselage slings. The function of the
adaptor is to make sure that the loads are equally applied to each sling and to keep the
same distance between the slings as the frame pitch (533 mm / 21 in). It is possible to use
the multiple sling adaptor with a different number of slings,
- For scenarios 1A and 1B from 2 slings to 3 slings at the forward fuselage.
- For scenarios 2A and 2B from 2 slings to 10 slings at the forward fuselage and from 2
slings to 4 slings for the aft fuselage.
For scenario 1
The total lifting force applied to each sling must not be more than 5 000 daN (11 240 lbf),
or equivalent to 2 500 daN (5 620 lbf) at each side of the sling. When you use multiple
slings, the total lifting load at the forward fuselage must not be more than the maximum
allowable load.
To obtain the constant load distribution described above, the multiple sling adaptor must
obey specific design requirements (See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-035-A).
Multiple-sling adaptor design data:

AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

Cable tension in the pulley assembly: a maximum vertical force of 5 000 daN (11 240 lbf)
can be applied to each frame station, equivalent to 2 500 daN (5 620 lbf) maximum at
each end of the fuselage slings. This load is divided by two due to the pulley design.
Therefore, the cable tension limit load in the pulley assembly is 1 250 daN (2 810 lbf).
Ground service equipment for hoisting must have a minimum safety factor of 5.0.
Therefore, the cable and pulley assembly must be sufficiently strong to support a total load
of 6 250 daN (14 050 lbf).

(5) Spreader Bar


When only one crane is available, you can use a transverse spreader bar. The allowable
load at each frame station depends on the fuselage sling angle. The maximum load of 5
000 daN (11 240 lbf) per sling for FR21, FR23 and FR24 and between FR29 and FR34 and
4 000 daN (8992 lbf) per sling between FR35 and FR35.3 and 12 000 (26 977 lbf) between
FR49 and FR52 is only permitted with a sling angle of 180 degrees. To obtain this angle, it
is necessary either to use 2 cranes or, alternatively, to use a transverse spreader bar with a
length equal to the fuselage diameter (3 950 mm / 155.51 in). For lifting angles other than
180˚, contact Airbus.

NOTE : Multiple-sling systems supplied by vendors usually come with the transverse
spreader bar.

TASK 06-50-00-581-803-A01
Forward Fuselage Crane Lifting with fittings
1. General
This section gives the data related to the leveling and lifting from the forward fuselage with cranes
and fittings.
2. Inspections
Not Applicable.
3. Job Setup References
You can use this task in combination with the Wing Crane Lifting procedure (see TASK
06-50-00-581-802-A01) or one other wing lifting method (jacking or use of pneumatic lifting bags).
You must level the wings before you lift the fuselage. You must not lift the wings and the fuselage at
the same time.
A. Straps / slings
The two ends of the straps must have adapted loops for attachment to the crane hook or
spreader bar.
The straps must be in good condition without broken fibers, cuts, nicks or gouges.
B. Transversal Spreader Beam
If only one crane is available, you can use a spreader beam between each end of the sling.
The distance between the hook attachment points of the slings on the spreader beam must be
equal to 3950 mm (155.51 in). See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-015-A
If this distance is less or more than 3950 mm (155.51 in), this can cause lateral loads and
secondary damage can occur on the fuselage sides.
C. Crane
The crane must be able to hold the maximum lifting load.
It is recommended that you use a crane with at least a 11 m (433.07 in) high jib.
D. Allowable Loads
The maximum lifting load on FR15 is 6700 daN (150.62 lbf). See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-021-A
to find the lifting load on FR15 related to the aircraft weight and CG position.

5. Procedure

WARNING : OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN YOU DO LEVELING/LIFTING OF THE


AIRCRAFT. MAKE SURE THAT THE LIFTING EQUIPMENT IS APPLICABLE FOR
THE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. MAKE SURE THAT THE PERSONS WHO OPERATE
THE LIFTING EQUIPMENT ARE CORRECTLY TRAINED AND HAVE A GOOD
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SYSTEM. MAKE SURE THAT THE NECESSARY SAFETY
AREA IS KNOWN AND THAT PERSONS DO NOT GO IN THIS AREA DURING
THE LEVELING/LIFTING OPERATIONS. LEVELING/LIFTING OF THE AIRCRAFT
CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS ON THE AIRFRAME ARE LESS THAN THE
ALLOWABLE LOADS WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS APPLY
LOADS THAT DO NOT OCCUR IN NORMAL OPERATION.

CAUTION : WHEN YOU LEVEL/LIFT THE AIRCRAFT, YOU MUST CONTINUOUSLY


MONITOR AND RECORD THE LOADS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS
YOU APPLY ARE NOT MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOADS. IF
THE LOADS ARE MORE THAN THE ALLOWABLE LOADS, THIS CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE.

CAUTION : IF THE LOADS APPLIED DURING THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE ARE MORE
THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOADS, YOU MUST CONTACT AIRBUS
FOR SPECIFIC INSPECTIONS.

CAUTION : USE ONLY RECOVERY SLINGS AND SPREADER BEAMS SPECIFIED BY AIRBUS.
NON-APPROVED LIFTING DEVICES CAN CAUSE SECONDARY DAMAGE TO THE
AIRCRAFT.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE CRANE YOU USE CAN LIFT THE ESTIMATED LOAD
PLUS THE WEIGHT OF THE LIFTING EQUIPMENT BEFORE YOU START TO
LIFT THE AIRCRAFT.

CAUTION : YOU MUST CORRECTLY TETHER THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE YOU LEVEL OR
LIFT IT.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to help an
aircraft recovery.

AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

NOTE : It is the responsibility of the recovery manager to make the decision about the applicable
method and related equipment/personnel for the leveling/lifting of the aircraft.

Subtask 06-50-00-581-001-A01
A. General

NOTE : Before you start a leveling or lifting procedure with slings/cranes, make sure that the
instructions that follow are obeyed.
(1) Do not level or lift the aircraft with cranes during gusty wind conditions.
(2) The common maximum permissible wind speed for mobile cranes is 50 km/h (27 kt) with
steady wind. Airbus recommends not to lift the aircraft if the wind speed is higher.
It is also recommended not to use cranes during thunderstorm to prevent lightning.
(3) Before you start the leveling or lifting operation with cranes, you must correctly tether the
aircraft. This is to prevent uncontrolled movement of the aircraft during this operation
specially in case of high wind condition (See 04-30-00).
(4) Only personnel familiar with the operating procedures of the slings, spreader beams and
cranes should be in charge of the lifting operation.
(5) Calculate the NRW and CG position (See 03-50-01).
(6) Calculate the anticipated vertical load on the fuselage or fitting points and make sure that
the necessary load is not more than the maximum allowable load.
If the necessary load is more than the allowable load, you must either decrease the aircraft
weight until the lifting load is less than the allowable load or use another leveling or lifting
procedure.
(7) Calculate the total lifting capacity of the slings and cranes that you use are able to hold.
Make sure that each available sling or crane can hold the necessary load, and can fit within
the boundaries of the fuselage contact zone.
The crane lifting strength must be higher than the lifting loads and the jib length must be
sufficient to allow aircraft movement (lateral and vertical)
To decrease the necessary lifting load, it is recommended to decrease the aircraft weight by
removal of cargo or payload from the aircraft before start of the leveling or lifting
operation (See 05-50-00 and/or 05-60-00).
(8) Calculate the possible arc movement during the leveling operation, at each lifting point.
Also calculate the side load if necessary (See 06-10-00).
(9) For the wing lifting, make sure that the hook and slings can hold the lifting loads.
(10) The frame station and lifting points that will be used for lifting must no be damaged. In
case of damage, contact Airbus.
(11) Make sure that there are no sharp edges or peaks (skin damages, protruding structure,
antenna ... ) in the zones where the fuselage recovery slings will be installed.
See DESC 06-00-00-002-A01 for the list of leveling/lifting obstructions.

Page 58
06-50-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(12) If necessary, put wheel chocks in front of and behind the wheels of the main landing gear
that is extended and in contact with the ground.
(13) Install the landing gear downlock pins in all landing gears that are extended.
(14) All the persons who work on the leveling/lifting operation should be connected with mobile
communication devices. Two-way voice activated headsets are ideal for this type of
operation.
(15) No personnel must be in or below the aircraft during the leveling process. The personnel
who is not directly involved in the lifting operation must be at least 20 m (65 ft) far from
the aircraft and cranes.
(16) Movement of fuel in the wing tanks caused by aircraft leveling can change the aircraft CG
position. Therefore, it is recommended to remove all fuel from the aircraft before leveling.
(See 05-10-00) This will also decrease the necessary lifting loads.
(17) Monitor the CG during all the aircraft leveling process and be prepared to control with
ballast if necessary (See TASK 03-50-01-558-803-A01).
(18) Monitor the position of the slings carefully at all times during the leveling/lifting process.
For the fuselage lifting, it is necessary to instal each sling at a frame station and all slings
must be in the area listed in TASK 06-50-00-581-803-A01.
(19) You must monitor and record the applied loads at all times during the leveling and lifting
process. If at one step of the process the maximum load (related to the lifting scenario) is
more than the allowable load, contact Airbus for definition of structure inspection tasks.
Airbus recommends that you use load cells and monitoring equipment to record the applied
loads.
(20) Level or lift the aircraft slowly, obey the instructions given by the manufacturer of the
lifting/leveling equipment and adjust the tethers as the aircraft starts to move.
(21) When the fuselage and the wing are leveled and if it is necessary to lift the aircraft, it is
recommended to use the 3 main jacking points to lift the aircraft to the necessary height.
See AMM 07-11-00-581-001. The aircraft should not be lifted until the entire aircraft (wing
and fuselage) is in a level attitude.
(22) When the aircraft is leveled and at the necessary height:
(a) Assemble a shoring device to support the fuselage and/or wings, or install jacks as a
safety precaution if you work on the landing gear. Use shoring cradles on a prepared
area:
- Under the fuselage FR9, F24-56 and FR60: 98D07203016000 GLOBAL SHORING
KIT SA
- Under the wing RIB 4, RIB 13 and RIB 22: 98D57004098000 A320 AUX
JACKING WING.
If the above tools are not available on site, you can use wood cribbing with rubber
protections under the fuselage. In that case, the bearing area is the same as for
pneumatic lifting bags installation: see DESC 06-40-00-001-A01.

Page 59
06-50-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(b) If possible on site, when the aircraft is on shoring cradles, extend the landing gear and
install the downlock pins, see TASK 02-30-01-481-801-A01 or repair or replace the
landing gear.
Then prepare a roadway (see 07-20-00) and tow the aircraft (see 07-40-00).
(c) Or place the forward fuselage and/or the wing(s) on a mobile trailers if it is not
possible to make the landing gear serviceable.
(23) After the recovery operation, you must do an inspection of the skin surface and the wing
for any sign of damage which may have been caused during the leveling/lifting.

Each recovery scenario is based on the assumptions that follow:


- The ground is horizontal and leveled.
- The soil is rigid.
- The A/C is rigid (no global bending of wing and fuselage).
- The aircraft has a local distortion of the fuselage and the nacelles of a maximum of 200 mm
(7.87 in).
These assumptions are related to a critical operational CG because of the aircraft attitude. It is
possible that the illustrations do not show the actual condition of the aircraft, but they give
acceptable and important data.

3. Recovery Procedure

CAUTION : YOU MUST DO THE LATERAL LEVELING BEFORE YOU DO THE


LONGITUDINAL LEVELING.
There are three general methods for leveling/lifting of the aircraft
- Jacks (see 06-30-00)
- Pneumatic lifting bags (see 06-40-00)
- Cranes (see 06-50-00)
You must follow the safety precautions related to each recovery method.
In some case, it can be necessary to level/lift the aircraft with use of a step-by-step combination of
these three methods.

Page 2
06-60-00 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

During the lateral or longitudinal leveling, the trajectories of the leveling/lifting points (the jacking
point or the contact point of the pneumatic lifting bags) start from the first ground contact point
from which the leveling is initiated and make a curve. This curve shows the displacement of the
leveling/lifting point during the full leveling operation. The arc movement is calculated as follow (see
06-60-00):
- Jacking: from the lowest position of the jacking point to its highest position with the aircraft at a
leveled attitude.
- Pneumatic lifting bags: from the lowest position of the middle point of the pneumatic lifting bags
areas (as defined into 06-60-00 ) to the its highest position with the aircraft at a leveled attitude.
By arc movement, one must understand the total longitudinal and/or transverse movement of the
lifting point
See FIGURE 06-60-00-991-001-A
Make sure that lifting device can follow the maximum travel range in all directions. It is important to
know that the mentioned values are the result of a theoretical study and thus are average values and
not accurate ones. It is necessary to make sure that the device you use will be able to hold the loads
on the transverse displacements. For this reason, it is recommended to use a lifting device set to
which you can apply a minimum of 150% of the necessary load.
- With jacks, there is a risk of bending or rupture of the jack.
- With pneumatic lifting, there is a risk of shear fracture of the bag.
During the leveling operation, the maximum applicable loads applied on the jacking points or one the
contact area of the pneumatic lifting bags must not be more than the maximum allowable loads.
At all steps, it is necessary to accurately monitor the loads. The leveling should be linear and soft and
it is necessary to control it continuously.
The description of each scenario has:
- An illustration which shows the A/C attitude with the pitch and roll angles the coordinates of the
contact points.
- An illustration which shows the clearances for the different methods to level/lift the aircraft. The
200 mm (7.87 in.) clearance and the related frame position are theoretically calculated to show
the standard clearance which allow to install a deflated standard pneumatic lifting bag.
- An illustration which shows the arc movements related to the method used to lift the aircraft.
On these illustrations, for the longitudinal movement, the negative sign is related to a forward
displacement. For the lateral movement, the negative sign is related to an inboard displacement.

General Preparation
1. General
This chapter gives the procedures for moving the aircraft to a hard surface. There are different
procedures for moving the aircraft if the landing gear is serviceable, or if it is damaged.
A. Before moving the aircraft you must:
- Do a detailed inspection of the landing gear to confirm its structural integrity. The landing
gear must be capable of supporting the weight of the aircraft during towing/debogging
operations, see 02-30-01
- Do a check to make sure that the landing gear is in the downlocked position with the
groundlock pins fitted. If it is not possible to fit the groundlock pins, a more detailed
inspection must be done to find the cause. See 02-30-01 for groundlock pin installation
details.
B. Use one of the following procedures when the landing gear is damaged or missing:
- Repair or replace the landing gear to make it capable of supporting the aircraft weight
during towing/debogging operations.
- Use an aircraft recovery transport-vehicle or vehicles to move the aircraft, see 07-60-00.
C. Before moving the aircraft, make sure that:
- Fuel and cargo have been removed to make the aircraft as light as possible.
- The weight and Center of Gravity (CG) are adequate for towing stability.
- The relevant authorities have confirmed that the aircraft can be moved.
- The airport authority and fire department have been told that the recovery process has
moved to the next phase.
- There are no fluid leaks.
2. Returning Undamaged Aircraft to a Hard Surface
A planned recovery will allow the undamaged aircraft to be returned to the runway in the least
possible time.
A. The recovery plan can include:
- Confirmation that the aircraft is in the correct condition to be moved.
- The need to remove fuel and cargo from the aircraft.
- The type of ground over which the aircraft must be moved.
- The direction in which the aircraft will be moved.
- The type and quantity of ground equipment and recovery vehicles needed.

@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

B. The following procedures may be necessary to return an undamaged aircraft to the runway or
taxiway:
- For an aircraft that has moved onto soft ground or snow, it may be necessary to use the
debogging procedure, see DESC 07-40-00-001-A01 and the procedure to prepare a roadway,
see 07-20-00. When a roadway is prepared, the width of the roadway must be sufficient to
let the towing vehicle turn the aircraft if necessary.
- To make sure that the towing loads are not exceeded: use a load measuring tool to monitor
the loads at all times.
- To make sure that the debogging loads are not exceeded: use a load measuring tool to
monitor the loads at all times unless the fuse assembly is being used.

DESC 07-20-00-001-A01
General
1. For each aircraft recovery, the recovery manager must contact the relevant specialists to obtain
correct data applicable to the ground strength.
If the aircraft has moved off the runway or taxiway, it may be necessary to build a roadway to move
the aircraft on.
The roadway must be excavated to a depth that will let the finished roadway safely support the
weight of the aircraft.
The width of the roadway must let the aircraft be turned as necessary and let the routing of the
aircraft be changed. The width of the roadway must let heavy recovery vehicles manoeuvre safely.

NOTE : The information or principle contained in this chapter are given as a guide to assist an
aircraft recovery.
2. If the ground is soft or is not stable, you must excavate the ground along the route to the runway
and build a roadway. If the aircraft wheels have made ruts that are not too deep, the ruts can be
filled with a foundation material.
This material can be compacted gravel or railway ties/sleepers covered with sheet steel or thick
plywood, see FIGURE 07-20-00-991-001-A.
See chapter 04-50-00 for information on soil characteristics. Normally, general construction
contractors will have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a safe roadway.
Some of the materials that can be used in the construction of a roadway are:
- Compacted stone, gravel and/or broken asphalt,
- Railway ties/sleepers,
- Sheet steel,
- Plywood
See chapter 09-30-01 for details of materials that can be used for the recovery operation. You must
make sure that materials used for recovery are safe to be used, can cope with the forecasted weather
conditions and will not break under load or cause a change in aircraft stability.
When sheet material is used on top of the compacted material, it is recommended that two layers of
sheet material are used. Lay the sheets with the joints of the bottom layer covered by the top layer,
see FIGURE 07-20-00-991-001-A. When using sheet steel be careful to avoid fluid spills. Fluid spills
on sheet steel can cause a loss of towing traction for the towing vehicles and will be a hazard for the
recovery team.
Steel or aluminum sections that can be bolted together are available commercially in most cities.
Fabric matting that is made of different types of glass fibre is also available commercially. There are
different types, sizes and strengths of these materials.

@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

If there is not sufficient sheet material to make the roadway, the materials that the aircraft has been
moved over can be re-used to complete the roadway.
If heavy timbers are used directly on the roadway, they must be covered with a layer of plywood or
steel. If this is not done, the load from individual wheels can push one of the timbers into soft ground
and cause the aircraft to stop.
When the ground is not level, the roadway must normally be made with a slope of 5˚ or less. If
possible, position the towing/winching vehicle on the runway to give maximum traction.

WARNING : OBEY THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING TOWING OR MOVEMENT OF THE


AIRCRAFT. MAKE SURE THAT THE PATH OF THE AIRCRAFT IS CLEAR. MAKE
SURE THAT NO PERSONS SIT OR STAND ON THE TOW BAR OR USE THE
TRACTOR AS TRANSPORT, THIS IS TO PREVENT THE RISK OF INJURY.

WARNING : DURING TOWING / TAXIING OPERATION (LOW-SPEED OPERATION


INCLUDED), EACH PERSON IN THE AIRCRAFT MUST BE IN A SEAT AND THE
SEAT BELT MUST BE FASTENED. IF THE SEAT BELT IS NOT FASTENED,
THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY IF THE AIRCRAFT STOPS SUDDENLY.

CAUTION : DO NOT TOW OR MOVE THE AIRCRAFT ON THE GROUND IF THE ENGINE
COWLS ARE OPEN.
MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE COWLS OPEN CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE COWLS AND THE NACELLE STRUCTURE.
It is recommended that you use a towbar with a damping system.
A. You can use the NLG towbar fitting to tow or push the aircraft:
- With maximum weight
- With the engines between zero and idle.
B. You can use the MLG attachments to tow the aircraft:
- With the engines stopped
- When it is bogged.
C. Do not tow the aircraft if dimension H is more than 300 mm (11.81 in), see FIGURE
07-40-04-991-001-A. If you do this, you can cause damage to the cams that make the nose gear
wheels go back to the center position.
D. Keep a minimum of 3 m (9.84 ft) separation from the nose wheels, the towbar and the tractor
while the aircraft moves.
2. Speed Limits
The maximum permitted towing speed changes with the aircraft configuration.
A. Doors closed and locked or removed:
(1) For a tractor with a towbar, a maximum speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) is permitted.
(2) For a towbarless tractor, a maximum speed of 32 km/h (19.9 mph) is permitted.

Page 1
07-40-04 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

B. Passenger/crew doors fully open and locked and/or cargo doors open in the vertical position:
(1) The maximum permitted speed is 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
C. In wind conditions, calculate the permitted towing speed before towing:
(1) Measure the wind speed.
(2) Do a check of the aircraft stability, see TASK 04-20-00-588-801-A01 or AMM
05-57-00-200-001.
(3) Substract the measured wind speed from the wind speed limit shown on the stability curve.
This gives the maximum permitted towing speed.
3. Approximate Towing Loads
See FIGURE 07-40-04-991-002-A.

NOTE : In all the formulas, MTW = Maximum Taxi Weight.


A. When you push the aircraft rearward with the engines at idle, you must add the engine thrust
resistance to the towing loads.

NOTE : The engine thrust resistance at ground idle is 400 daN (899.24 lbf) (for each engine in
operation).
B. Use these coefficients for the friction between the tires of the tow tractor and the ground to
calculate the tractor weight:
- Dry concrete or asphalt: 0.80
- Wet asphalt: 0.75
- Wet concrete: 0.57
- Hard snow: 0.20
- Ice: 0.05
Minimum Tractor Weight = 6% MTW / (friction coefficient)

DESC 07-60-00-001-A01
General
1. This section gives the moving of the aircraft with damaged or missing landing gear.
If it is possible, the aircraft must always be moved the landing gear supporting the weight of the
aircraft.
Before you move the aircraft, you must chek the structural integrity of the landing gear and the
structural attachments in accordance with the landing gear inspection procedure 02-30-01.
For landing gears that are not correctly extended, see DESC 04-80-00-001-A01 for information on the
manual extension of the landing gear.
If any of the landing gear are damaged, you must always try to repair or replace the damaged landing
gear. This could include:
- The repair of the existing landing gear,
- The installation of a replacement landing gear,
- The temporary bracing of the landing gear to support the weight of the aircraft.
The repair or replacement of damaged landing gear is the recommended solution if a replacement
landing gear is available and the structural attachments for the landing gear are not damaged.
If it is not possible to move the aircraft with it’s landing gears, then you must use a different support
system to move the aircraft, see 07-60-03. It may be necessary to use one of the following vehicles or
a combination of vehicles to move the aircraft.
- Flat bed trailers,
- Movable cranes,
- Specialist aircraft-recovery transportation systems,
- General purpose trucks,
- Commercial transport equipment.
Moving the aircraft with aircraft recovery vehicles is the last method to be used after all other
methods are analyzed. When aircraft recovery transport vehicles are used, secondary damage is
possible.

DESC 07-60-01-001-A01
Moving Damaged Aircraft on Trailers
1. If the Landing Gear cannot be made serviceable, the use of trailers gives a safe and correct method of
supporting the aircraft fuselage and/or the wings.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE TRAILERS, AND ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT YOU USE
WITH THE TRAILERS, ARE SAFE FOR THE WEIGHT THEY MUST SUPPORT.

CAUTION : BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS ON
THE AIRFRAME ARE LESS THAN THE ALLOWABLE LOADS (SKIN LOADING
LIMITS) WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS APPLY LOADS THAT DO
NOT OCCUR IN NORMAL OPERATION.

CAUTION : SECONDARY DAMAGE CAN OCCUR WHEN YOU USE TRAILERS TO SUPPORT
AND MOVE THE AIRCRAFT.

CAUTION : DO NOT APPLY LOADS TO THE ENGINE NACELLE STRUCTURE BECAUSE


SECONDARY DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

CAUTION : DO NOT APPLY LOADS TO THE FLAP-TRACK FAIRING STRUCTUE BECAUSE


SECONDARY DAMAGE WILL OCCUR
A. See 06-40-00 for the bearing area under the fuselage and wings.
B. You must inspect the aircraft structure for damage in the bearing areas. Make sure that the
structure is capable of supporting the weight of the aircraft on the trailers.
C. You can support the forward fuselage on a turntable, this will help to turn the aircraft during
the move. If a turntable is used, it must conform to the weight requirements and general aircraft
specifications to prevent secondary damage and assist in the removal of the aircraft.
D. Install supports between the aircraft and the trailer surface. These can be made of timber and
must be covered with padded material to avoid damage to the aircraft surfaces. The supports
that you use must be able to support the expected loading.
E. Materials such as mattresses, rubber padding, tires, pneumatic bags and sand bags can be used
as padding. It is important that the padding is arranged to follow the contour of the aircraft
surfaces, this will helps to spread the loads on the surface and to avoid point loads. Filler foam
can be used at the support areas to fill gaps and make a correct contoured support.
You must not exceed the allowable skin loading limits on the aircraft surfaces, see 06-40-00.
F. It is important that the supports (timber) and padding remain stable while you move the
aircraft. It may also be necessary to tie down the aircraft structure to the trailer to prevent
relative movement between the aircraft and the trailer.

Moving Damaged Aircraft with Cranes
1. General

CAUTION : IF THE LOADS APPLIED DURING THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE ARE MORE
THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOADS, YOU MUST CONTACT AIRBUS
FOR SPECIFIC INSPECTIONS.

CAUTION : BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS ON
THE AIRFRAME ARE LESS THAN THE ALLOWABLE LOADS (SKIN LOADING
LIMITS) WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS APPLY LOADS THAT DO
NOT OCCUR IN NORMAL OPERATION.

CAUTION : USE ONLY RECOVERY SLINGS AND SPREADER BEAMS SPECIFIED BY AIRBUS.
NON-APPROVED LIFTING DEVICES CAN CAUSE SECONDARY DAMAGE TO THE
AIRCRAFT.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE CRANE YOU USE CAN LIFT THE ESTIMATED LOAD
PLUS THE WEIGHT OF THE LIFTING EQUIPMENT BEFORE YOU START TO
LIFT THE AIRCRAFT.

CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE LOADS ON THE AIRFRAME ARE LESS THAN THE
ALLOWABLE LOADS WHEN YOU USE SUPPORTS. THE SUPPORTS APPLY
LOADS THAT DO NOT OCCUR IN NORMAL OPERATION.
The principles outlined in this chapter are provided as a guide to assist an aircraft recovery.
See 06-50-00 for information on the use of cranes.
If it is possible, damaged landing gears must be repaired or replaced. This will allow the aircraft to be
moved with it’s own landing gear supporting the weight of the aircraft.
If it is not possible to repair or replace the damaged landing gear, an alternative method is to use
mobile crane or crawler crane to help move the aircraft.

NOTE : You must analyze other methods of supporting and moving the aircraft before using this
method.
If the aircraft is in this condition, then it is possible to use cranes and sling assembly to level and lift
the aircraft. The cranes can then be left in place to support and move the aircraft.
Roadways must be properly prepared to support the weight of the crane and the aircraft as they are
moved, see 07-20-00.
2. Moving the Aircraft with Cranes
The crane must be positioned close enough to the aircraft and the lifting point, to let the crane use
its lifting capacity safely.

**ON A/C A318-100 A319-100 A319neo A320-200 A320neo A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

DESC 09-10-02-001-A01
Definition of Terms
1. General
The terms that follow are used in the ARM.
A. Aircraft Recovery
An aircraft recovery operation is the action of moving any aircraft that is disabled and unable to
move with its power or with the standard use of a correct tow tractor and standard tow bar,
but can be economically repairable.
Examples of aircraft recovery incidents are:
- One or more landing gears off the hard surface of a runway, taxiway or apron,
- Aircraft bogged down in mud, snow or sand,
- One or more landing gears retracted, collapsed, damaged, or missing.
B. Warnings, Cautions and Notes
These definition of these are as follow:
- WARNING: Calls attention to the use of materials, processes, methods, procedures or limits
that must be obeyed to prevent injury or death to persons.
- CAUTION: Calls attention to methods and procedures that must be obeyed to prevent
damage to equipment.
- NOTE: Calls attention to methods that make the job easier or give more information.
2. Weight Terms
A. Manufacturer Empty Weight (MEW)
The weight of the structure, power plant, systems, furnishings and other items of equipment,
part of a special aircraft configuration, with the fluids in closed systems (e.g. hydraulic fluid).
The weights of all operator items are not included.
B. Operator Items
These items include:
- Unusable fuel,
- Oil for engines, IDG and APU,
- Water for galleys and lavatories,
- Chemical fluids for waste tanks,
- Aircraft documents and tool kits,
- Passenger seats and life vests,
- Galley structures and fixed equipment,
- Catering,
- Flight and cabin crew and their baggage,
- Emergency equipment that includes:

AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

Evacuation aids, life rafts, portable oxygen bottles and stowage boxes, extinguishers,
megaphones, flash lights, axes, first aid kits, emergency radio beacons, fire resistant gloves
and smoke goggles, demonstration kits, life vests for crew and children.
C. Operational Empty Weight (OEW)
The OEW is the sum of the Manufacturer Empty Weight plus the operator items.
D. Dry Operating Weight (DOW)
The DOW is the total weight of an aircraft prepared for a special type of operation without all
the usable fuel and traffic load.
It is the sum of the OEW and the special items for the type of flight (e.g. catering, newspapers,
pantry equipment etc.).
E. Recoverable Empty Weight (REW)
The REW is the sum of the MEW and the weight of the different operator items which are part
of the aircraft. The REW does not include the crew and their baggage or catering equipment
and supplies.
F. Net Recoverable Weight (NRW)
The NRW is the REW of the aircraft without the missing or removed aircraft equipment and
components. It includes fuel, liquids and cargo remaining on board.
The applicable recovery scenario is based on the NRW.
G. Payload (P/L)
The payload is the weight of the passengers, cargo and baggage.
H. Center of Gravity (CG)
The CG is the point where the aircraft can balance if it hangs at that point. It is the point
where the aircraft weight is applied.
If more weight is put in a different point, it causes an unbalancing force which is the ”moment”.
In case of recovery action, the position of CG has to stay within certain predefined limits to
ensure aircraft general stability
J. Reference Chord (RC) or Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC)
Usually the position of the CG is defined by a percentage of Reference Chord (%RC).
The Reference Chord is a reference line used in the design of the wing. Its position relative to
the wing and fuselage is accurately known. It represents the variation of position of the CG,
according to the weight and balance management or other parameters. The normal position of
the CG is considered at 25%RC. The position and dimensions of this reference are mentioned in
TASK 03-00-00-558-801-A01. These dimensions are specially dedicated to an aircraft type.
K. Maximum Design Landing Weight (MLW)
The MLW is the maximum permitted weight at which the aircraft can land.
L. Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW) / Maximum Taxi Weight (MTW)
The MRW / MTW is the maximum permitted weight for ground maneuvers, that include taxi
and run-up fuel.

Page 2
09-10-02 May 01/21
@A318/A319/A320/A321
AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

M. Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW)


The MTOW is the maximum permitted weight when the brakes are released for takeoff, or at
the start of the takeoff roll.
N. Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW)
The MZFW is the maximum operating weight without usable fuel.
P. Actual Zero Fuel Weight (AZFW)
The AZFW is the sum of the operational empty weight and payload.
The AZFW must never be more the maximum design zero fuel weight (MZFW).
Q. Engineered Lifting
An engineered lifting is a lifting of the aircraft in controlled conditions, with a predefined process
using specific GSE. Before this procedure is started, it is necessary to do:
- An accurate analysis of the requirements
- An accurate engineering planning and a risk/hazard assessment
- A lifting procedure approved by the local authority regulations.

1. This section provides the height of various points of the aircraft, above the ground, for different
aircraft configurations.
Dimensions in the tables are approximate and will vary with tire type, weight and balance and other
special conditions.

The dimensions are given for:


- A light weight, for an A/C in maintenance configuration with a mid CG,
- An aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight with a FWD CG and an AFT CG,
- Aircraft on jacks, FDL at 4.60 m (15.09 ft).

NOTE : Passenger and cargo door ground clearances are measured from the center of the door sill
and from floor level.

1. This section provides the height of various points of the aircraft, above the ground, for different
aircraft configurations.
Dimensions in the tables are approximate and will vary with tire type, weight and balance and other
special conditions.

The dimensions are given for:


- A light weight, for an A/C in maintenance configuration with a mid CG,
- An aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight with a FWD CG and an AFT CG,
- Aircraft on jacks, FDL at 4.60 m (15.09 ft).

NOTE : Passenger and cargo door ground clearances are measured from the center of the door sill
and from floor level.

Aircraft Recovery Logic Chart
1. The Aircraft Recovery Logic Charts are an aid for the Aircraft Recovery Manager and his team. The
recovery charts describe the necessary steps of the recovery process and can be used as a checklist by
ticking off the boxes when completed. Although detailed, the chart must be used with the complete
ARM. These charts give the specific areas of the ARM where you can find additional and more
detailed data on a specific subject.

NOTE : The charts are not in chronological sequence for recovery. Make a selection of the charts
applicable to each recovery scenario.
When you use these charts, the conditions that follow are assumed:
- Warnings and cautions are not included on the recovery charts.
- The aircraft operator has full responsibility for all the aircraft recovery operation.
- The recovery operation can only start when the local and state Investigative Authorities release
the aircraft.
- All company, local and state health and safety regulations are obeyed.
- All hazardous materials are identified and correctly handled.
- The standard ”Aircraft Status for Maintenance” is in general not available (see AMM 00
Introduction, Item 7).
- The aircraft is possibly in an unusual attitude and can be unstable.
- Some of the steps listed are possibly not in chronological sequence because each recovery
operation is different and the recovery procedure must be adapted.
- It is possible that some of the steps listed are completed more than one time.

Airline Aircraft Recovery Process Document
1. Airlines should consider the preparation of an internal Aircraft Recovery Process Document. This
document will help the airline to prepare for an aircraft recovery, because it will contain full
instructions about how to organize and prepare for a good recovery.
It must give the steps on how each airline can do an aircraft recovery, from the time an incident is
notified, to the movement of the aircraft to an inspection or repair facility.
Help to prepare a process document of this type is available if you contact the IATA Aircraft
Recovery Working Group at the website that follows:
- http://www.iata.org

NOTE : This chapter gives references to web sites for information only. Airbus shall not be held
liable for web site or document content and for update or change of addresses.
A. Proposed Coverage
(1) The goals of the Aircraft Recovery Team, these should be clearly stated. Some ideas to
include are:
- How the Recovery Team can react,
- What authority the Recovery Team has,
- The promotion of aircraft recovery awareness,
- How to share aircraft recovery data with the manufacturer, other operators and special
interested groups,
- Coordination of resources.
(2) A current and up-to-date list of the Recovery Team Managers and Recovery Team
Leaders.
This must include office, home, fax, pager and cell phone numbers. The same information
should be available for all other members of the recovery team.
(3) A list of applicable aircraft to recover by the Recovery Team.
This could include aircraft owned or leased by the airline and aircraft from subsidiary
airlines and/or contracted airlines.
(4) Procedures to follow when there is a known incident.
These must highlight the need to keep and record all important data.
(5) Current list of applicable government agencies with contact numbers.
(6) How each team member can prepare.
This must include suggestions on what items of clothing and equipment should be
available in a personal ”go kit”. Vaccinations and visas should also be done.
(7) A full list of airline support staff and contact numbers.
This should include structural and power plant engineering staff, tooling and equipment
technicians, weight and balance, purchasing and logistic personnel.

AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

(8) A current and full list of all company-owned aircraft recovery equipment.
This should include the location, size and weight of all containers in where the equipment
is stored.
(9) A current copy of the IATP D/E pools ground handling equipment, ground maintenance
equipment and aircraft recovery kits.
These data are now available at the website that follows:
- http://www.iatp.com

NOTE : IATP website and recovery kits are available for IATP members only.

NOTE : This chapter gives references to web sites for information only. Airbus shall not
be held liable for web site or document content and for update or change of
addresses.
(10) A list of the local availability of general aircraft recovery materials and equipment. made by
the company.
This list should include materials and equipment such as plywood and steel sheets, crushed
rock, cribbing, cranes, heavy equipment etc.
You can be prepare this list with the ICAO Removal of disabled aircraft Document 9137-
AN/898 as a guide.
(11) An Aircraft Recovery Manual (ARM) for each fleet type operated and its storage locations.
(12) The size of the cargo doors of each fleet type operated.
This will helps to move equipment if the incident is at a different airport.
(13) A list of all company-owned tooling, that includes recovery tooling such as pneumatic
lifting bags, jacks, slings, etc.
This can include their location and properties such as capacity, compressed and extended
heights, arc movement capability, etc.

**ON A/C A318-100 A319-100 A319neo A320-200 A320neo A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

DESC 09-30-01-001-A01
General
1. General
It can be necessary for operators to use tools during the recovery process.
There are two categories of aircraft recovery tooling and equipment:
- General recovery equipment
- Specialized recovery equipment
You can get these tools at the airport (contact the Airport Authorities or IATP if you are a member),
or locally (contact local vendors).
2. General Materials, Equipment and Tooling
The general materials, equipment and tooling that follow are usually available locally (this is not a
full list) :
- Work lights, floodlights,
- Ballast bags,
- Sheets of plywood, steel plate, planking, etc.,
- Cribbing timber (railroad ties) to make platforms,
- Stones, gravel, broken asphalt to be compacted to make roadways,
- Trailers and padded materials (mattresses, rubber padding, tires, sandbags) to move damaged
aircraft,
- Bulldozers, forklifts, crane, winching vehicles, excavators,
- Towing tractor,
- Cables, ropes, pulley blocks, ladders,
- Mobile shelter-trailer, commercial transport equipment,
- Wooden/steel beams,
- Flatbed trucks and trailers,
- Pumps, hoses and storage for fuel and/or water,
- Hand pump for manual doors opening/closing,
- On-site communication equipment (telephones, faxes, interphone headsets),
An electrical or air power supply can be necessary for some of these tools. Thus, other equipment can
be necessary:
- Mobile electrical power unit (min. 5 kW),
- Mobile air power unit (min. 7 bar (102 psi)).

NOTE : The ICAO Airport Services Manual, part 5, Document 9137-AN/898, ”Removal of Disabled
Aircraft” gives a list of recommended materials and equipment.

AIRCRAFT RECOVERY MANUAL

3. Lifting and Tethering Material


The general materials, equipment and tooling that follow will be useful for the lifting and tethering of
the aircraft.
A. Slings/straps - Nylon, Dacron, Carbon Fiber
These slings/straps are moisture and mildew resistant. As they dry quickly, it is possible to put
them into storage a short time after use.
You can get them in almost all widths and lengths with different end attachments. You can get
nylon straps/slings with single or double strength with single or multiple bands.
All these slings/straps help prevent damage to the aircraft skins when you lift the aircraft at
areas such as the forward fuselage. But it is important to protect the straps from sharp edges
and small radiuses.
Make sure that the slings/strap has a label, which gives the rate loads.
Do an inspection of the straps before you use them.
B. Wire Rope
Usually, a 6X19 type rope made from improved plow strength steel can be used for recovery
operations.
C. Chain
All types of hoisting chains made from good quality material will give very good results.
D. Rope - Manila, Nylon, Polypropylene
These are good general-purpose ropes but they are not recommended for lifting or tethering
tasks.
