DESC 01-00-00-001-A01
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 A330-200 or A330-300 aircraft. The airlines and airport authorities can use this
information as a planning tool for aircraft recovery preparations.
2.
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

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 02-00-00-991-002-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.
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 airport and Investigative Authorities,
- Identify the hazardous materials which are on board,
- Get an airport plan to assess aircraft or recovery team travel path difficulty, etc.
(2) After access to the incident or accident site, you must do a detailed inspection and 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,
- Visas, passports and vaccinations certificates,
- Hotels and local transport.
B.
Planning
The main planning issues are (not in order of importance) :
02-10-01
Page 1
Nov 01/09
@A330
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 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 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 do 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.

General
The Aircraft Recovery Logic Charts (see DESC 09-20-01-002-A01) 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.

INITIAL AIRCRAFT SURVEY
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

TASK 02-20-01-285-801-A01
Initial Aircraft Survey
1.
General
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.

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.
02-20-01
Page 2
Nov 01/09
@A330
(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.

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.
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.
02-20-02
Page 2
Nov 01/09
@A330
(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.
(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.

(2) Before doing the inspection, make sure you know the position of the Landing Gear.
(a) Landing Gear fully extended and downlocked, see TASK 02-30-01-481-802-A02:
1
Do the applicable inspection for that Landing Gear (NLG or MLG).
(b) Landing Gear not fully extended or retracted:

1
See 06-00-00 for the procedure to level and lift the aircraft.
It will be necessary to secure the Landing Gear to prevent it travelling further

and becoming a danger to anyone or to the recovery operations.
To support the gear, put a hydraulic lifting platform under the Landing Gear to
be supported. The platform must be able to support the weight of the landing
gear. Make sure that the lifting surface is covered with support materials, such
as tires or foam, to protect the Landing Gear from damage.
To further support the gear, raise the platform until the support materials make
good contact with the Landing Gear to prevent accidental movement of the gear
during the inspection.
You must make sure that all other ground lock pins are installed, then in the
cockpit, set the Landing-Gear GRVTY Switches to DOWN. This will open the
hydraulic system to RETURN and allow the unlocked leg to be lifted. See
FIGURE 02-30-01-991-001-A.
(c) Landing Gear Retracted and uplocked:

HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

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 others
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.
Examples: Safety boots, personal breathing mask, rainwear, parkas and gloves, etc.
02-40-01
Page 1
Nov 01/09
@A330
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.
WARNING : OPEN, SAFETY/LOCK AND TAG THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS RELATED TO THE
BLUE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ELECTRIC PUMP. THIS PUMP RUNS
AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL NETWORK IS
ENERGIZED AND THE NLG LEG EXTENDED.
CAUTION :
C.
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.
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.
02-40-01
Page 2
Nov 01/09
@A330
WHEN YOU REMOVE FUEL OR WHEN YOU WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE THERE IS FUEL.
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.

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 TBD ) and the use of the logic chart (see 09-20-01) will
help to control aircraft weight and CG.
2.
Inspections
Not Applicable.
3.

Use aircraft reference axes, glossary of terms (see 09-10-02 ) and the aircraft reference OEW or
DOW.
A.
4.
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.
See 09-50-01 for the calculation worksheets.

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 operators 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.

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-A.
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 0.0727) + 31.338
- H-arm (in inches) = (%RC 2.8622) + 1233.780
(b) Use the formula that follows to convert H-arm into %RC.
- %RC = (H-arm -- 31.338) / 0.0727 (H-arm in meters)
- %RC = (H-arm -- 1233.780) / 2.8622 (H-arm in inches)

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

General
1.
To safely level or lift a damaged aircraft so that it can be moved on its 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 tables (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 (when applicable).

How to Find the Weight and Associated CG Position of Remaining Fuel

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 Yarm) of the fuel, using the applicable table.
When you have found the data from the relevant tables, 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 the following tables (when applicable):
- Unsuckable means The quantity of fuel that remains after a defuel using the suction pumps on
the Fuel Tanker
- Unpumpable means The quantity of fuel that remains after a defuel using the aircraft fuel
pumps
- Undrainable means The quantity of fuel that remains after the final defuel procedure using the
Water Drain Valves.
For information on defuel procedures, see 05-10-00.

Use of the Magnetic Level Indicators (MLI)

(1) Use a screwdriver to push the applicable MLI and turn it through 90 deg.
(2) Hold and carefully lower the MLI fully. Then carefully lift the MLI until you feel the
magnets engage.
(3) Read the units mark nearest to the bottom-skin of the wing and write down the number.
(4) Retract the MLI and use a screwdriver to turn it through 90 deg. to lock it.
(5) Find the volume of the fuel in each tank:
(a) Use the applicable MLI stick number and the applicable aircraft attitude grid-square
letter to find the corresponding fuel quantity table. See AMM 12-11-28-650-806 for
the fuel quantity tables.
(b) Find the applicable MLI unit number row and the applicable A/C attitude (gridsquare letter and number) in the table.
Find the intersection of the applicable rows to give the correct volume of fuel in the
tank.
(c) Multiply the total volume of the fuel by the specific gravity (SG) of the fuel to obtain
the mass of the fuel.
NOTE : The MLI are accurate to +/- 5 % of their indication.

MANAGING AIRCRAFT WEIGHT AND CG
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

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 TBD), 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 that 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 only 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.
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.
NOTE : 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.
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.

@A330
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.
NOTE : It is important to make sure that the aircraft is stable before and during the
implementation of the recovery phase/steps.
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.

TASK 03-50-01-558-803-A01
1.
General
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.

How to find the Effect of Added Ballast

(1) To find the effect of added ballast, you need to find the H-arm and, if applicable, the Yarm of the zone in which you added ballast.
To calculate the necessary average H-arm and Y-arm:
- See 09-10-06 for ballast added inside of fuselage,
- See 09-10-08 for ballast added on the wing,
- See 09-10-09 for ballast added on the horizontal stabilizer.
(2) Calculate the H-arm and Y-arm moments generated by the weight of ballast you use and
record them on the Ballast Added Effect Interim Worksheet (See 09-50-01).

Information Required and Source Data
1.
General
CAUTION :
THE NRW AND CG LOCATION CAN ONLY BE AS ACCURATE AS THE DATA

USED TO CALCULATE THEM. IF ACCURATE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF
THE DATA USED ARE EXTRAPOLATIONS, THIS WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON
THE RESULTS THAT YOU GET.
This section gives the details on definitions related to CG management, and the source of the
required data. It also tells you how to use these data to calculate the NRW and CG location.
In most cases, several sources exist to find the required data.
Accurate calculations require specific data based on the specific aircraft MSN and actual airline load
and trim sheet information.
In case of a serious aircraft accident and subsequent freeze of the aircraft documentation, generic
aircraft type data can be used. This can also apply if it is impossible to power the onboard
computers.
NOTE : Contact telephone numbers for the load and weight and balance office should be readily
available.

CAUTION :
A.
IF YOU USE THE OEW GENERIC DATA TO CALCULATE THE NRW, THE CG
POSITION AND THE EXPECTED LOADS, THE RESULTS YOU GET WILL NOT
BE ACCURATE.
OEW (Operating Empty Weight) and associated H-arm:

It is possible to take the data from these sources:
- Airline Load and Trim Sheet,
- Onboard Computers,
- Weight and Balance Manual,
- The generic OEW with an associated CG at 25%RC is about 116740 kg (257367 lb) with
GE CF6-80 engines, 117041 kg (258031 lb) with PW 4000 engines or 116840 kg (257588
lb) with RR TRENT 700 engines.
NOTE : The OEW and the associated H-arm are given for a specific aircraft configuration: all
landing gears extended flight controls retracted and thrust reversers in stored position.

Remaining Fuel
(1) There are three possibilities for the remaining fuel in the Trim Tank :
- Event occurred at take-off: FUEL IN TRIM TANK POSSIBLE,
- Event occurred after a normal flight: NO FUEL IN TRIM TANK,
- Event occurred after an emergency descent: FUEL IN TRIM TANK POSSIBLE.
(2) The means of extracting data can be used:
- Use data from the total fuel weight from load and trim sheet,
- Use data from MCDU,
- Do the measurements from magnetic fuel indicators or do an estimation based on fuel
load of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 (See 03-20-01and 03-20-02),
- Do an estimation of the remaining fuel weight from the trim load sheet based on the
operators known fuel consumption.
(3) Find the associated H-arm and Y-arm. These values depend on the distribution of the fuel
load. See 03-20-02 to asses the fuel quantity (magnetic fuel indicators, MCDU, or specific
method), and associated H-arm and Y-arm.
C.
Cargo Payload
- Use the total cargo payload weight from the load and trim sheet,
- H-arm and Y-arm: the operator should give the H-arm and Y-arm associated to cargo
compartments,
- H-arm and Y-arm: extract generic data from the Weight and Balance Manual,
- Calculate H-arm and Y-arm, see 03-50-01,
- Do approximate weight and position estimations based on observation,
- Ask for assistance of airline load office.
D.
Weight and H-arm of any Missing or Removed Large Components

- Take the weight of the removed units,
- Use weights and moments listed in chapter 03-50-01,
- Use details from the Weight and Balance Manual.
E.

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.

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.
(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-B.

(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
02-30-01-200-801-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

TETHERING THE AIRCRAFT
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 04-30-00-001-A01
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.
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 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.
2.
Tethering Using the Mooring Fittings

Mooring fittings can be installed on the fuselage. See FIGURE 04-30-00-991-002-A for the location of
the Mooring fittings.
At each position, remove the blanking screws and the remaining sealant before you install the
mooring fitting.

Tethering Using Straps or Cables

You can install straps or cables around the engine pylons and the fuselage main frames: FR15, FR36,
FR59 and FR76.
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.
4.
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 FIGURE 04-30-00-991-003-A gives an example of tethering line installation.

Ground Anchors for Tethers

aircraft recovery.
There are three basic ways of supplying anchors for the tether lines:
- Commercial type ground anchors,
- Dead-man anchors,
- Heavy vehicles.
2.
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 manufacturers 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.
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.

WEIGHT REDUCTION
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 05-00-00-001-A01
General
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
- On-site storage capability of removed fuel.
Fuel and cargo payload can also remain on the aircraft to be used as ballast.

NOTE : Always be prepared for sudden attitude changes of the aircraft as the payload or fuel, etc.
is removed. The changes can affect both the longitudinal and lateral axes of the aircraft.

DEFUELING
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 05-10-00-001-A01
General - 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
Page 1
Nov 01/09
@A330
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

Fuel System Basic Description
1.
Basic Description
The fuel system:
- controls and supplies fuel in the correct quantities to the fuel tanks during refuel operations,
- supplies fuel to the engines via the engine feed tanks during flight,
- supplies fuel to the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU),
- moves fuel from the Trim tank (during flight) to control the Center of Gravity (CG) of the
aircraft,
- gives indications in the cockpit of system operation,
- gives indications in the cockpit of a malfunction in the system that could cause an unusual
condition,
- controls defuel and fuel ground transfers.
See DESC 09-10-12-004-A01 for the ground service connections (refuel/defuel coupling and

3.
All of the fuel tanks are fueled/defueled through a standard twin 2.5 inch fuel coupling, located in
each wing leading edge.
**ON A/C A330-300

4.
All of the fuel tanks are fueled/defueled through a standard twin 2.5 inch fuel coupling, located in the
right wing leading edge. A standard twin 2.5 inch fuel coupling can be installed in the left wing
leading edge, depending on A/C configuration.
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

5.
Each outer wing tank is vented through their vent surge tanks. The trim tank, in the horizontal
stabilizer, has a vent surge tank in the right hand side only.
6.
The main transfer system controls the flow of fuel from the center and the outer tanks to the inner
tanks.
7.
The system uses the fuel transfer-pump to move the fuel.
8.
The FCMS (Fuel Control and Monitoring System) automatically controls the system, but if necessary,
the system can be manually controlled in the cockpit. The trim transfer system controls the CG of
the aircraft.
9.
In flight, fuel is transferred to the inner tanks (Collector Cell) to make sure that the fuel supply to
the engines is constant. There are tree fuel pumps in each collector cell, two main pumps and one
standby pump. The main pumps supply fuel to their related engine. They can also supply fuel to the
other engines if the related crossfeed valves is opened.

Ground Fuel Transfer Procedures
1.
General
WARNING : DO NOT TRY TO GET ACCESS TO THE FUEL VALVE ACTUATORS IN A
LANDING GEAR BAY IF THE RELATED GEAR IS RETRACTED AND THE GEAR
DOORS ARE CLOSED. IN THIS CONDITION, THE WEIGHT OF THE LANDING
GEAR CAN BE ON THE GEAR DOORS. IF YOU OPEN THESE GEAR DOORS,
THERE IS A RISK THAT THE LANDING GEAR WILL EXTEND BY GRAVITY.
WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT IS STABLE AND SAFE BEFORE YOU TRY
TO GET ACCESS TO THE FUEL SYSTEM VALVES OR OTHER COMPONENTS.
WARNING : THIS PROCEDURE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY TO HELP YOU PREPARE THE
RECOVERY OPERATION. TO DO THE PROCEDURE, YOU MUST REFER TO THE
OPERATORS CUSTOMIZED DOCUMENTATION.
CAUTION :
BEFORE YOU TRANSFER FUEL, MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT

SPACE IN THE APPLICABLE TANKS FOR THE FUEL YOU WILL TRANSFER.
CAUTION :
WITHOUT A SERVICEABLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, YOU MUST MONITOR THE

QUANTITY OF FUEL IN THE TANKS AND MAKE SURE TO STOP THE
TRANSFER TO A TANK WHEN THE FUEL IN THE TANK IS NEAR THE HIGH
LEVEL QUANTITY.
THERE IS NO HIGH LEVEL PROTECTION FOR THE TANKS IF THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOT SERVICEABLE.
If the aircraft is in a wing high position, it can be necessary to transfer fuel from the low wing to the
high wing. This helps to move the aircraft lateral CG to the correct position.
Before you do a fuel transfer, you must find the fuel quantity in each fuel tank.

WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT CENTER OF GRAVITY STAYS CORRECT
WHEN YOU DEFUEL THE AIRCRAFT. YOU MUST MONITOR THE AIRCRAFT CG
AT ALL TIMES.
WARNING : BEFORE YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DE-ENERGIZED AND ISOLATED.
CAUTION :
KEEP THE BALANCE OF THE AIRCRAFT CORRECT WHEN YOU DEFUEL IT.
YOU MUST DEFUEL THE TRIM TANK BEFORE YOU DEFUEL THE WING
TANKS. WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE, DEFUEL THE TANKS EQUALLY.
You can use this procedure when the aircraft fuel pumps and the electrical systems are serviceable.
But only use this procedure when there is no structural damage and all systems are serviceable.
You cannot do the pressure defuel procedure if a surge tank level sensor is wet. This is shown when
the indicator(s) light OVERFLOW on the refuel/defuel panel 990VU is(are) on. When a surge tank
level sensor is wet you must do the suction defuel procedure, see TASK 05-40-02-650-801-A01.

REMOVAL OF LARGE COMPONENTS
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 05-60-00-001-A01
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.

Leveling and Lifting Families

There are 5 basic leveling families (see TBD).
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, 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

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 6500 mm (255.9 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.
However, to replace a landing gear, the necessary height of the fuselage datum is 7200 mm
(283.46 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.

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 jacks: X and Y position of the jacking points,
- For pneumatic lifting bags: X and Y positions of the center of the contact area,
- For slings: X position of the crane/sling lifting plane.
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.

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)
06-10-00
Page 2
Nov 01/09
@A330
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.

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.

(2) Measure the aircraft pitch () and lateral () angles with one of the tools or the method
that follow:
- An attitude monitor (clinometer), in the right wing landing gear bay,
- A spirit level, a clinometer or equivalent device that can be used on the forward cargocompartment floor beams or on the cabin floor seat tracks,
- The aircraft geometry and characteristic points.
See TBD 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 Fz
(5) Calculate the Fy side load (component on the Y axis).
Fy = tan 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.
General Type of Jacks

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.
aircraft recovery.
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 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.
06-30-00

Nov 01/09
@A330
C.
2.
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.
Location of Primary Jacking Points

There are three primary jacking points on the aircraft (See FIGURE 06-30-00-991-006-AFIGURE
06-30-00-991-006-B):
- One under the left wing, at RIB 10,
- One under the right wing, at RIB 10,
- One on the lower fuselage, behind the nose landing gear doors, at FR10A.
**ON A/C A330-200

3.
Location of Auxiliary Jacking Points

An auxiliary jacking point for a safety stay is located on the lower aft fuselage, at FR87 (See FIGURE
06-30-00-991-006-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.
**ON A/C A330-300

4.
Location of Auxiliary Jacking Points

An auxiliary jacking point for a safety stay is located on the lower aft fuselage, at FR85 or FR87
depending on A/C Model (See FIGURE 06-30-00-991-006-B).
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.
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

5.
Location of FR17 Jacking Point

Jacks can also be used to level/lift the forward fuselage with fittings attached to FR17.
See FIGURE 06-30-00-991-007-A and 04-30-00 for jacking pad fitting FR17 location.
6.
Maximum Loads on the Primary Jacking Point

See 06-10-00 to determine the loads related to the aircraft attitude, to select the leveling/lifting
procedure.
Fz is the load applied in the vertical direction.
Fh is the load applied in all horizontal directions.
NOTE : The maximum aircraft jacking weight is 152 000 kg (335 103 lb).
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.
Longitudinal or lateral load must not be more than 0.33 safe load at the jacking point.

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.

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 FIGURE
06-30-00-991-008-AFIGURE 06-30-00-991-008-B.
(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-A01)
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.
06-30-00
Page 19
Nov 01/09
@A330
(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
TBD and 05-60-00).
(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 02-30-01.
(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.
06-30-00
Page 20
Nov 01/09
@A330
(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.
(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-A01.
(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 can 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.
- 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.
NOTE : If possible, you should use a special recovery jack. Step by step leveling is
not the recommended method to level the aircraft.
(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
07-11-00-581-801)
Do not lift the aircraft until all the aircraft (wings and fuselage) is in a level attitude.
(SeeAMM 07-11-00-480-051 for the necessary lifting heights)
(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.
06-30-00
Page 21
Nov 01/09
@A330
(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.

General fuselage lifting

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) Do not lift the aircraft with pneumatic lifting bags in gusty wind conditions.
(2) Do not lift the aircraft with pneumatic lifting bags during steady wind conditions.
(3) Find the maximum allowable wind speed related to your aircraft configuration. See TBD.
(4) 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.
(5) Read the manufacturer instructions applicable to the pneumatic lifting bags that you use.
(6) 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.
(7) Confirm the aircraft NRW and CG. See 03-00-00.
(8) 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 06-10-00.
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 make a selection of another leveling or lifting procedure.
(9) 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 lifting load, we recommend that you reduce the aircraft weight
with the removal of cargo or payload from the aircraft before a leveling/lifting operation,
see 06-10-00.
(10) 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.
(11) 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 one non-damaged rib/fuselage frame away from the damaged
area. Remove all sharp edges from the contact area. Use a heavy tarpaulin between the
aircraft skin and the pneumatic lifting bag to prevent damage to the top of the bag.
(12) 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.

@A330
(13) Remove some unwanted items from the aircraft before you install the pneumatic lifting
bags, see DESC 06-00-00-002-A01.
(14) 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.
(15) Adjust the pneumatic lifting bag base to let the bags follow the shape of the lower
fuselage/wing surface. It can be necessary to use jacks to move the wooden
base/pneumatic lifting bag supports when the aircraft moves.
(16) Put wheel chocks in front and behind the wheels of each landing gear that is extended and
in contact with the ground.
(17) Install landing gear downlock pins in all landing gears that are extended.
(18) Each operator at the pneumatic-lifting bag control console must have a good visibility of
the person in charge of the leveling/lifting operation. Coordination between all the console
operators is very important. Two-way voice headsets are very good for this type of
operation.
(19) No personnel must be in or below the aircraft during the leveling/lifting process.
(20) 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.
(21) Monitor the CG during all the aircraft leveling/lifting process and be prepared to control
with ballast if necessary, see 06-10-00.
(22) Monitor and record the applied loads (pressure in the pneumatic lifting bags) at all times
during the leveling/lifting process.
(23) You must carefully monitor the arc movement of the pneumatic lifting bags. Use a plumb
bob to monitor pneumatic lifting bag movement at each position.
(24) Install aft tipping protection if necessary.
(25) 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.
(26) Obey the manufacturers instructions: inflate the lifting bags slowly and adjust the tethers
when the aircraft starts to move.

@A330
(27) 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 07-11-00-581-801. It is mandatory that the aircraft is in a level attitude (wing and
fuselage) before you lift it.
(28) When the aircraft is at the necessary height
(a) Build 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),
(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.
(29) 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.

1.
General
CAUTION :
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.
CAUTION :
USE ONLY RECOVERY SLINGS AND SPREADER BEAMS SPECIFIED BY AIRBUS.

NON-APPROVED LIFTING DEVICES CAN CAUSE SECONDARY DAMAGE TO
THE AIRCRAFT.
This section describes the use of slings and cranes for leveling and lifting: sling contact areas, crane
lifting points and allowable loads.
2.
Location
Slings can be installed under the fuselage, between FR26 and FR37 and between FR56 and FR59. See
FIGURE 06-50-00-991-014-AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-014-C.
Before you install the slings, you must check that there is no structural damage within the bearing
area. If you find damage, contact Airbus.
Structurally damaged frames 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 06-00-00-002A01 for the list of leveling/lifting obstructions.
**ON A/C A330-200

3.
Allowable Loads
The maximum total lifting load at the forward fuselage is 50 000 daN (112 404 lbf).
The maximum total lifting load at the aft fuselage is 20 000 daN (44 962 lbf).
It is not allowed to apply the maximum allowable load per frame at more than 10 frames at the
forward fuselage and 4 frames at the aft fuselage.
In case of using more than 4 slings or if the total lifting load is more than 20 000 daN (44 962 lbf), it
is mandatory to install a sling at FR37 for the forward fuselage and FR56 for the aft fuselage.
See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-014-A for the formula to calculate the lifting force.
The maximum lifting force is related to the number of slings used and the length of the spreader bar.
See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-016-A for the lifting scenarios.

Sling Installation
For leveling/lifting of airframes with fuselage recovery slings, specific tooling is necessary:
- Slings
- Multiple sling adaptors
- Spreader bar.
A.
Slings
The slings can consist of one or more straps.
06-50-00
Page 2
Nov 01/09
@A330
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), there is no limit for the maximum
width.
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 06-50-00-991-014-AFIGURE
06-50-00-991-014-C.
For scenarios 1B and 2B (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-016-AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-016-C) the
minimum necessary length of slings is constant at 16 500 mm (650 in).
For other scenarios the minimum required sling length will be in relation to the available
spreader bar length.
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 06-50-00-991-015-AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-015-B for the necessary steps for
selection and installation of slings on the fuselage.
B.
Multiple Sling Adaptor

The multiple sling adaptor must be adapted to scenarios 1A, 2A, 1B and 2B if more than one
sling is required for lifting (see FIGURE 06-50-00-991-019-AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-019-C).
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 but symmetrical number of slings, from 2 slings to 10
slings at the forward and aft fuselage, (depending on Aircraft Model).
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 slings. The maximum total allowable
lifting loads at the forward and the aft fuselage, must not be exceeded when you use multiple
slings, see TBD.
To obtain the constant load distribution described above, the multiple sling adaptor must obey
specific design requirements (See FIGURE 06-50-00-991-019-AFIGURE 06-50-00-991-019-C).
Multiple sling adaptor design data:
- Static values of the multiple sling adaptor: minimum necessary bending stiffness at center
line = 6 750 cm3 (1 620 in3),
- Wire tension in 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 wire
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 wire and pulley
assembly must be sufficiently strong to support a total load of 6 250 daN (14 051 lbf).

Nov 01/09
@A330
C.
Spreader Bar
When only one crane is available, you can use a transverse spreader bar to make a link between
each side of the aircraft. The allowable load at each frame station depends on the fuselage sling
angle. The maximum load of 5 000 daN (11 240 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 transversal spreader bar with a length equal to the fuselage diameter (5
640 mm / 222 in). For any other lifting angle than 180, contact Airbus.
NOTE : Multiple-sling systems supplied by vendors usually come with the transverse spreader
bar.

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
following instructions 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 thunderstorms to prevent lightning strike.
(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 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 the lifting
operation (See TBD and/or 05-60-00).
(8) Use the minimum necessary sling lengths and spreader bar width to find the minimum
assembly height.
The height of the crane or the hangar roof can be a limit to the height of the assembly.
(9) Calculate the possible arc movement during the leveling operation, at each lifting point.
Also calculate the side load if necessary (see 06-10-00).
(10) The frame station and lifting points that will be used for lifting must not 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.

(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 required lifting loads.
(17) Monitor the CG throughout the aircraft leveling process and be prepared to control with
ballast if required (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 install each sling at a frame station and all slings
must be in the areas listed in DESC 06-50-00-001-A01.
(19) You must monitor and record 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 in accordance with the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the lifting/leveling equipment and cranes.
Adjust the tethers as the fuselage starts to move.
(21) When the fuselage and the wing(s) 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 06-30-00. The aircraft should not be lifted until the entire aircraft (wing(s) 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. If specific 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 06-40-00.
(b) If possible on site, when the aircraft is on shoring cradles, extend the landing gear and
install the downlock pins or repair or replace the landing gear, see TASK
02-30-01-481-802-A02.
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 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(s)
for any sign of damage which may have been caused during the leveling/lifting.

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, see TBD.
- 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.
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.

Nov 01/09
@A330
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, 07-40-00 and the procedure to prepare a roadway 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, see 07-40-04.

DESC 07-20-00-001-A01
Preparing a Roadway
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.
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.
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.
07-20-00
Page 1
Nov 01/09
@A330
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.
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.
2.
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 the dimension H is more than 310 mm (12.2047 in), (see FIGURE
07-40-04-991-001-A). If you do so, 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, towbar and tractor while the
aircraft moves.
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.

B.
Passenger/Crew doors fully open and locked and/or cargo doors open in 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 aircraft stability, see TBD or AMM 05-57-00-200-801.
(3) Substract measured wind speed from 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 idles, you must add the engine thrust
resistance to the towing loads.
- RR: 1500 daN (for each engine in operation),
- PW: 1275 daN (for each engine in operation),
- GE: 1050 daN (for each engine in operation).
NOTE : The engine thrust resistance at ground idle is:
B.
4.
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).
Limit Loads and Angles

See FIGURE 07-40-04-991-003-A.

MOVING DAMAGED AIRCRAFT
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 07-60-00-001-A01
General
1.
This section describes the moving of 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 moving the aircraft, you must verify 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 TASK 04-80-20-867-801-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 using its 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 using aircraft recovery vehicles must be the last method to be used after all
other methods have been analyzed. When aircraft recovery transport vehicles are used, secondary
damage is possible.

MOVING DAMAGED AIRCRAFT ON TRAILERS
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 07-60-01-001-A01
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.

CAUTION :
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 its 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 a
mobile crane or a 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.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
**ON A/C A330-200 A330-300

DESC 09-10-02-001-A01
Definition of Terms
1.
2.
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.
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:

@A330
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.
09-10-02
Page 2
Nov 01/09
@A330
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.

This chapter gives data related to the distance from different components/points on the aircraft to
the ground. For the basic ground clearances of the aircraft, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-001-A.
The distances given in the Ground Clearances charts are reference distances calculated for A/C
weight and CG conditions. The conditions used in the calculations are maximum A/C weight
(minimum ground clearances) and a typical A/C maintenance weight (typical ground clearances for
maintenance).
The dimensions given are approximate and can change with:
- The aircraft weight.
- The type of tire installed.
- The aircraft attitude.
- The climate conditions.
For the ground clearances of the:
- Extended leading edge slats, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-002-A.
- Extended trailing edge flaps, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-003-A.
- Extended spoilers, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-004-A.
- Ailerons in the down position, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-005-A.
- Ailerons in the up position, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-006-A.
- Flap tracks with the flaps extended, see FIGURE 09-10-11-991-007-A.

See DESC 02-10-01-002-A01 for description of aircraft recovery charts and the way to use them.
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:
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.
09-20-01
Page 19
Nov 01/09
@A330
(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:
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 9137AN/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-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.
3.
Lifting and Tethering Material

The general materials, equipment and tooling that follow will be useful for the lifting and tethering of
the aircraft.

@A330
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 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 is 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

There are good general-purpose ropes but they are not recommended for lifting or tethering
tasks.
