FUSELAGE DATUM LINES

Coordinate System
for messurements and location of components within the fuselage of the A320
Familiy a metrical coordination system is in use. It exists of three a datum
lines :

 ”X” means length distances from ” X 0 ” also called .STA ” 0 ”.

It defines forward and aft distances from any point ( STA ) to
STA ” 0 ”. STA 0 is 2540 mm forward of the radom.

 ”Y” means lateral distsances from any point to aircraft center line
” Y 0 ” is a vertical plane over the center line
” + Y ” is a plane left hand from ” Y 0 ” in flight direction
” − Y ” is a plane right hand from ” Y 0 ” in flight direction

 ” Z ” means a horizontal distsances from any point to aircraft centerline

” Z 0 ” is a horizontal plane over the center line
” + Z ” is a plane above the center line
” − Z ” is a plane below the center line

ZONES
Description
A zone defines a certain position within that major sub-zone. They are identi-
fied through single digit numbering, counting from 0 to 9. Numbering within a
major sub-zone happens as follow :

 from front to rear

 from inboard to outboard
 uneven numbers ( e. g. 131, 211, etc. ) identify the left hande side of the
center line
 even numbers ( e. g. 142, 162, 264, etc. ) identify the right hand side
of the center line

For Example : 162

1 − major zone 100 identifies the range below center line.

6 − major sub-zone160 identifies the bulk cargo compartment.
2 − zone 162 identifies the forward, right hand part of the bulk cargo
compartment.

NOTE : − Wings, stabilizers and engine nacelles have similar major sub-
zones and zones.

LEVELING
Quick leveling check can be carried out using the build in aircraft trim indicator
near the refuel control panel in the right wing root.
The aircraft is in the zero position in pitch and roll, when the bubble is at the
D 4 position.
Precise leveling must be done by means of sighting tubes and sighting rods.

WEIGHING
Aircraft weighing is performed at certain intervals in order to determine the dry
operating weight of the individual aircraft.The weight is used to determine the
center of gravity.
Special weighing plattforms are used at the normal lifting positions for this task.

WARNING : The person who operates the brakes from the cockpit
during towing or taxiing must have his seat belt attached.
If not, there is a risk of injury if the aircraft stops suddenly.

CAUTION : Set and calibrate the towing and turn shear pins before you
tow or push back the aircraft.
This is to prevent high loads which can cause damage to
the nose landing gear and / or the aircraft structure.

CAUTION : Do not tow or move the aircraft on the ground if the engine
cowls are open.

GENERAL
Parking in normal and abnormal weather conditions

− Wheel chocks in front of and behind main and nose landing gear wheels.
− Parking brake ”ON”.
− Nose wheels should be in a straight line.
− Flaps ,slats,spoilers,speed brakes and thrust reversers retracted.
− Stabilizer set to neutral.
− Cockpit windows closed.
− Doors closed.
− Protection covers installed in bad weather conditions.
− Landing gear doors closed.
− Landing gear ground safety locks installed during maintenance opera-
tions or long parking periods.
− Water system depressurized. This prevents too much water in the toilet
bowls since the water valves can leak when the water pressure de-
creases.
− Shock absorber rebound can cause some movement in the wind. Equip-
ment should be removed from the aircraft to a position where it cannot
damage the aircraft.

DAMPER ACTUATOR / EMERGENCY CYLINDER

Description and Operation
The damper and emergency cylinder, installed on the support arm, damps door
movement during opening / closing especially under abnormal conditions
( heavy wind ). Damping is effected by hydraulic fluid flowing from one chamber
to an another chamber within the actuator through a restrictor.
The damper and emergency cylinder is also an emergency actuator and as-
sists the opening of the door in an emergency condition (emergency control
lever in ARMED position). This is effected by a chargeable gas cylinder. The
gas which operates the actuator ( cylinder ) is released when the door moves
upward, cause the pivoting stop lever to actuate the gas release lever ( per-
cussion mechanism ), if the slide release system is armed.( ARMED ) position.
The nitrogen bottle ( cylinder ) is filled with 120 bar ( 1.750 psig ). On a gage
can this pressure be checked, and be refilled if necassary.
In case of emergency the door will be opened in 2 to 3 sec.

NOTE : After an emergency operation it is madatory to change the diaphragm,

recharge the nitrogen and replace the shear pin. Please observe all
debris of the diaphragm must be removed.
The damping function is automatic at the end of the door travel ( door open ).
It is possible to close the door again after a complete emergency opening.
Due to maintenance reason a safety pin has to be inserted for an uncontrolled
system activation.
WARNING : For safety reason during maintenance there has to be :
 Safety pin inserted to avoid an uncontrolled activation of
the percussion system.
 Release lever moved to maintenance position.
For Training Purposes Only

Optionaly nitrogen pressure from damper / actuator system and of escape

slide inflation reservoir can be checked at the CIDS ( cabin intercommunica-
tion system ).

EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE RELEASE MECHANISM

Description and Operation
The emergency escape slide is installed on the bottom of the door. The slide is
fastened to a girt bar. This girt bar can be locked by means of levers and fit-
tings.
 Either to the fuselage in the emergency ( ARMED ) mode or
 to the door in the normal ( DISARMED ) mode.
The girt bar is moved via a push pull cable.
When the outer control handle is operated, the release mechanism of the
emergency escape slide returns to DISARMED position first. A lever is moved
under the percussion lever of the damper/emergency cylinder in position
„ARMED“. A locking unit, connected to the locking shaft, locks the emergency
escape slide release mechanism in disarmed position when the door is not fully
closed and locked.

Indication
A visual indicator, installed at the forward end of the girt bar, used to see if the
girt bar is attached to the floor. The indicator can be checked on olderly version
through a escape cover window, newerly version have a floor mark. The emer-
gency control handle in ” ARMED ” position a proximity switch is activated for
the ECAM SYSTEM, where SLIDE in white appears on the door page.

EMERGENCY EXIT DOORS A321

Description
The aircraft ist provided with four type 1 emergency exit doors, two on the left
side and two on the right side of the fuselage. The forward left door is higher
than the other ones, and can be used as passenger door.
The doors are of the fail safe plug type construction. During the unlock phase
the doors move lightly inwards then upwards, they open outwards and move
forwards parallel to the fuselage.
The closed door locking mechanism is controlled either with inner or outer
control handle. In open position a door stay mechanism latches the door for
safety reason.
All emergency exit doors include an evacuation system. Which consists of a
slide equipment and a releas mechanism. All this evacuation equipment is not
installed on the door. See ATA 25
The escape slide is controlled by an emergency control handle on the inner
side. When the door is opened from the outside the escape slide release mech-
anism is disarmed automatically.
The door seal, installed on the inner side of the door outer skin, will be inflated
by cabin air pressure to form a pressure tight seal to the fuselage when the
door is closed and the cabin is pressurized.
Two proximity switches observe the emergency exit door position and on
ECAM the position can be checked. One proximity switch observe the emer-
gency control handle position and on ECAM the position can be checked.

The drift pin mechanism is installed in the middle of the cargo door. It de-
creases the contour off−set between the fuselage and the door. The drift pin
mechanism includes the teleflex controls and the drift pins with the related bell-
cranks and the connection links.
The teleflex controls transmit the movement of the safety shaft to the bell-
cranks. They operate the connection links which retract or extent the drift pins.
When the cargo door is correctly locked, the extended drift pins engage with
the pockets of the fuselage frame.

Cargo Door Proximity Switches

On cargo compartment doors, because of the environmental conditions ( pollu-
tion, no pressurization ), proximity switches with a separate electronic system
are used.
Signals from these switches are sent to the LGCIU 1.
The proximity switches with separate electronic system are 32 WV, 34 WV
( AFT Door ), 28 WV and 30 WV ( FWD Door).
- They transmit the indication of the position of the cargo compartment doors.
- When the target is near the proximity switch , the phase shift between the
supply current and voltage of the proximity switch coil varies , this variation
is measured by the LGCIU 1.
The position of the target is sent to the FWCs through the ARINC 429 busbar.

The proximity switch 5MJ (12MJ) with separate electronic system sends a sig-
nal to the LGCIU 2 if the cargo door is released ( handle in locked position ).
This enables the operation of the yellow electric hydraulic pump.

Cargo Door Proximity Switches

On cargo compartment doors, because of the environmental conditions ( pollu-

are used.
Signals from these switches are sent to the LGCIU 1.
The proximity switches with separate electronic system are 32 WV, 34 WV
( AFT Door ), 28 WV and 30 WV ( FWD Door).
- They transmit the indication of the position of the cargo compartment doors.
- When the target is near the proximity switch , the phase shift between the
supply current and voltage of the proximity switch coil varies ; this variation
is measured by the LGCIU 1.
The position of the target is sent to the FWCs through the ARINC 429 busbar.

The proximity switch 5MJ (12MJ) with separate electronic system sends a sig-
nal to the LGCIU 2 if the cargo door is released ( handle in locked position ).
This enables the operation of the yellow electric hydraulic pump.

SYSTEM SCHEMATIC
System Description
The hydraulic system of the cargo compartment doors controls the operation of
the FWD and AFT cargo compartment door. The system includes the duplex
door actuators ( two for each cargo door ), two manual selector valves ( one
for each cargo door ) and one electro ( manual ) selector valve. The system
gets its hydraulic supply from the Yellow hydraulic system or from a handpump.
The door hydraulic system supplies the duplex door actuators with hydraulic
power. The door actuators extend to open the cargo doors to the outer side. It
is possible to open the FWD and AFT cargo door at the same time.
The electric pump of the Yellow hydraulic system supplies the door hydraulic
system with hydraulic power. If this hydraulic power is not available, it is pos-
sible to pressurize the door hydraulic system with the hand pump. The normal
system pressure of the door hydraulic system is 3000 psi ( 206 bar ). The
electrical control system of the cargo doors supplies the hydraulic components
with electrical power. It prevents the operation of the door hydraulic system
when the cargo doors are locked.
The restrictors of the door actuators and the manual selector valves control
the speed of the cargo doors.

ATA 53 FUSELAGE
GENERAL
The fuselage, which has a blended double bubble cross section, employs a
conventional type of skin, stringer and frame construction except in the nose
section where frames at reduced pitch are used without stringers. Skin thick-
ness variations are produced by chemical or mechanicai machining and the
stringers are attached by rivets. Damage tolerant characteristics of the pres-
sure shell are achieved by design features such as fuII frame to skin cleating,
the use of Iocal crackstoppers, and of heavier machined members by duplica-
tion, in association with appropriate stress Ievels and material selection.
A central keel structure maintains fuselage shear and bending continuity over
the wing centre section cutout. The rear pressure bulkhead ring frame supports
the forward fin spar. Behind the rear fin attachment frame a cutout is provided
at midfuselage Ievel to accomodate the central box of the variable incidence
horizontal stabilizer. The tailcone, which houses the APU is mounted behind
the horizontal stabilizer pivot frame.
AII areas of the fuselage are pressurized except for the radome, the rear fuse-
lage section aft of frame 7O, the nose Ianding gear bay and the Iower segment
of the centre section ( section l5 ). FuII provision is made for rapid decompres-
sion in the event of damage to the pressurized fuselage.
For structural ease of production or transportation reasons, the fuselage is
manufactured in six structural sections for A319/A320 and eight structural sec-
tions for A321 aircrafts. The joints occuring at frames 24, 35, 47, 64 and 70.

Description
This section of the fuselage ( frame l to 24 ) contains in its upper forward region
the flight deck and aft of that the entrance area of the forward passenger and
service door.
The Iower region contains the nose Ianding gear bay, the electrics and avionics
bay.
There are no stringers in this section but the frames are pitched at about half
that of the typical pitch in the main fuselage. The aluminium alloy skin panels
are chemically milled.
The skin panels below and above the center windshield are made of titanium to
provide a good protection against bird impact.
Frames of this section are formed of sheet metal except in the Iower region
where the frames are machined from plate. The nose Ianding gear bay box is
Iocated between frames 9 and 20, it consists of integrally machined panels. A
jacking point is provided at the aircraft centre Iine between frames 8 and 9.
Frame 1 provides attachment for the machined flat front pressure bulkhead and
a mounting for the radome.
Between frames 16 and 20, below the floor structure, space and structural pro-
visions are made for installation of the optional airstairs.

Description
Section 15
This region of the fuselage is Iocated between frames 35 and 47. It provides
part of the cabin together with the integration structure for the wing centre box.
Beneath the cabin floot; it comprises the air conditioning, hydraulic and main
Ianding gear bay in conjunction with a belly fairing. The zone beneath the cabin
floor is unpressurized1 the actual pressure boundary being formed by the upper
skin panels of the centre wing box and a pressure diaphragm extending from
the wing box to frame 46 above the main Ianding gear bay. The forward pres-
sure boundary is formed by the Iower region of frame 35, and the aft boundary
is formed by an inclined pressure bulkhead installation as lower part of frame
46.
Frames
The frames are arranged at regular intervals of 533A mm ( 2l inch ) except in
the emergency exits area. Typical frames between 35 and 47 are machined
except in their upper region where they are formed from sheet metal.
Frames 36 and 42 belong to the centre wing box section 2l ( see description in
chapter 57, paragraph 2 ). This frames transmitte forces between wing center
box and the fuselage.
The main Ianding gear bay panels are chemically miIled, with externally riveted
stringers.
Longitudinal structural continuity of the lower fuselage is maintained by a keel
beam which transmits the overall fuselage bending Ioads. This beam is a box
stiffened by internal ribs, which also provides attachment points for the landing
gear bay doors and door actuators. The beam is attached to frames 35 and

Belly Fairing
The belly fairing is a permanent extension to the lower fuselage and is installed
at STA1307 (between FR30 and FR31) thru STA2456/FR53. The structure ex-
tends around the air conditioning and the hydraulic services equipment for the
aircraft.
It gives easy access for maintenance procedures to the equipment. The belly
fairing spans the width of the lower fuselage, between the left and right wings.
The extension of the structure around both wing roots completes the wing−to−
fuselage fillet zone.
The main landing gear bay is installed between FR42 and FR46. When the
landing gear doors are up and locked (landing gear up or fully extended), the
doors complete the belly fairing profile.
The belly fairing structure is made of frames, support struts and skin panels.
Rivets attach the frames to the aircraft lower fuselage. Most of the frames be-
come an extension to the aircraft fuselage frames. They are installed between
FR31 thru FR42 and FR46 thru FR52.

A keel beam gives longitudinal structural strength at the lower center of the
belly fairing. Rivets attach the beam to the bottom of the aircraft keel beam and
to FR47. The belly−fairing keel−beam is installed between FR36 thru FR47.

The belly fairing panels are made of honeycomb core, which is bonded be-
tween Glassfiber−Reinforced Plastic (GRP) sheets. You can remove all the
panels from the structure. Some of them have quick−release fittings for easy
opening or removal to give fast access to the equipment.

A blow−out panel is included in the air conditioning services panel,192KB. If an

overpressure condition occurs in the air conditioning bay, the blow−out panel

Tail Cone Hoisting

Section aft of Frame 77
This section of the fuselage forms the removable tail cone. lts principle function
is to provide a mounting and housing for the APU. lt incorporates in its lower
region the APU air intake and access doors which allow for the mounting, dis-
mantling and inspection of the APU.
This compartment is locally designed to inhibit an accidental fire. Fire walls are
made of titanium and this region of the compartment is double skinned, the in-
ner titanium skin being separated from the outer aluminium alloy skin.
The tail cone is made of frames, stringers and skin plates which are riveted
together. The access door beams and the support struts increase its structural
strength.
You can remove the tail cone from the aircraft as a single unit. It is not pressur-
ized during flight.

Component Description
The tail cone has:
−four main attachment fittings, with two diagonal support struts, installed on the
forward frame FR78. These fittings connect the tail cone to the fuselage,
−two framework fittings on the forward frame FR78. These permit the inspec

tion of the horizontal stabilizer bearings with the tail cone installed,
−a fail−safe fitting on the top side of the forward frame FR78. This takes the SELF ADHESIVE DISC
load if one of the main attachment fittings fail,
−seven APU attachment fittings for the installation of the APU and it’s related B
equipment,
−hoisting points for the removal and installation of the tailcone.
For Training Purposes Only

The APU compartment is a specified fire zone and firewalls close the compart-
ment on all sides. The firewalls are made of titanium sheets. The firewalls have FR 78
cutouts for the APU related components and equipment.
A over−pressure release door releases the pressure in the tail cone if there is a
sudden increase in pressure. The door closes automatically when the pressure HOISTING LUG
decreases.
A maintenance door ( 314AR ) and two access doors ( 315AL and 316AR ) are
installed in the lower surface of the tailcone. They give access to the APU and
its related components.

PYLON TO WING ATTACHMENT

Description
The forward attachments consist of inner and outer triple lugged titanium fork
attachments to rib 4, each of which is made in two parts such that each part
has a double lug. These lugs are bolted to two sets of twin links which are
bolted to two pairs of fittings which are attached to the front wing spar.

lmmediatly behind this joint there is a bearing which transmits longitudinal and
Iateral loads to a titanium spigot forging which is bolted through the lower wing
skin to the forward attachment fittings.

The aft pylon to wing junction is provided by two shackles which are connected
to an attach fitting secured on the wing and the attachment at the rearmount
pylon rib.

ENGINE TO PYLON ATTACHMENTS

Description
The forward attachment is via a pyramidal shaped mounting. This mounting is
attached to the face of rib 1 and, at its forward end, picks up the front spigot of
the engine. This spigot transmits longitudinal and Iaterai loads, whereas ten-
sion bolts carry the vertical loads.
The convertable rear attachments transmit the lateral and vertical loads to rib3
for the CFM 56 engines and to rib 4 for the IAE V2500 engines by means of
four tension bolts which go through an intermediate double fitting.

For Training Purposes Only

The drive system for the slats is electrically controlled. It uses hydraulic power
to turn pinions installed in the fixed leading edge. The movement is transferred
to the slats by racks attached to the slat tracks.
Each slat has a main rivetted structure of top and bottom skin panels and
end ribs. The structure is strengthened by intermediate ribs, a girder and
a top skin stringer. A trailing edge structure closes the aft edge of the
slat and completes the aerodynamic profile. Slat track ribs give attachment
points for the slat tracks.

GENERAL
Description
The aileron is installed on the fixed structure of the trailing edge. It is
connected to the outer rear spar between RIB 22 and RIB 27.
The aileron is controlled up or down to control roll. Also spoilers 2 thru 5 ex-
tends or retracts to control roll.

The aileron drive mechanism is electrically controlled and uses hydraulic power
to move the control surface.

The aileron is a wedge - shaped structure and has these resin impregnated
carbon fiber components :
- inboard and outboard end ribs
- Internal ribs
- top and bottom skins, with honeycomb cores
- spar.
Component Description
The top and bottom skins and the end ribs of the aileron make a wedge - sha-
ped stucture.
It is strengthened by the internal ribs and the spar. Seven machined aluminum
alloy brackets are attached to the spar.
Two of the brackets connect to actuators which are installed on the fixed
structure of the trailing edge. The other five are hinge brackets.
Also attached to the spar are aluminum alloy diaphragms and plate seals,
which make a smoother air flow around the aileron.
For Training Purposes Only

There are two inspection holes in the spar.

On the ends of the aileron there are silicon rubber seals attached to the top
and bottom skins. Four static dischargers and retainers are mounted at the
trailing edge of the aileron. Gaps between the aft edges of the ribs and the
channel help the aileron to drain.
