BMC’s are dual channel computers. Both BMC channel A is a full digital channel
embedding all the control/monitoring functions and Channel B is a hardwired to detect
bleed system over temperature.

Leak detection system:

The pneumatic leak detection system is organized into three loops;
- Pylon: dual loop from the precooler to the wing leading edge.
- Wing: dual loop from wing leading edge, including the wing air inlet supply, and
belly fairing (cross bleed duct, pack supply ducts and APU forward supply duct).
- APU: single loop at APU aft supply duct (left hand side of the fuselage) from APU
firewall to wheel well area.

t) Airbus has developed a rear lavatory and galley concept called Space-flex. This new
system replaces an A320 Family aircraft's full-width rear galley (G5) with a smaller
unit called G4B along with two lavatories making more efficient use of the jetliner’s
rear volume.

By applying the space flex configuration, the two lavatories plus galley can now be
efficiently accommodated in the aft cabin area, with advantages that include freeing-up
space for more passenger comfort and maximizing the cabin’s revenue space. The
space flex lavatories identified as Fs/ Gs in combination with galley at location G4B.

u) Neo fleet will not be fitted with the fourth occupant seat in the cockpit.

v) This aircraft shall be installed with an additional autonomous recording system called
CSTT (Customer Support Troubleshooting Tool) in 80VU to support the maturity of
A320 NEO delivered aircraft. The CSTT system capture the data from the available test
plug (198VC & 199VC) and store the raw data capture on the CSTT USB media.
Recovery of the aircraft data is to be done by manually removing the CSTT USB media
unit every day at night-halt station. The removed USB unit is to be sent to Engg-
Quality for uploading the data to Airbus for decoding and analysis.

e) The FAN Drive gear system (FDGS) allows the fan and low spool (LPC/LPT) to
operate at different speeds, improving their performance and efficiency.

The turning ratio of N1 to fan is 3:1 (three turns of the N1 rotor for a single
revolution of the fan).

f) Prognostics and Health Management Unit that processes multiple sensor inputs to
perform on-engine health monitoring. PHMU performs the following functions:
 Oil Debris Monitoring
 Engine Vibration Monitoring
 Auxiliary Oil pump monitoring of FDGS lubrication system
Conventional EVMU will not be installed with this engine.

g) Since the design location of Main Gear Box and Angle Gear Box is in the core
section, there will not be any Fire loop in the Fan area. Accordingly, to optimise the
design and following successful certification testing, quantity of engine
extinguishing agent required for on the P&W "neo" engine has been reduced, and
the new Part No for fire extinguisher has been introduced.

h) This Engine is equipped with translating sleeve type thrust reverser controlled by
EEC.

i) An electronic module mounted on Electronic Engine Control (EEC) called Data

storage Unit (DSU) serves as a storage unit having 8 MB capacity. DSU records
engine S/N, Thrust rating, N1 modifier etc. and also records failure messages
related to the engine.

j) Due bow rotor effect, before every start the engine will dry run at 10% of N2 which
is auto controlled by EEC Engine Start Logic with an ECAM indication of
“COOLING”. The dry run period varies with the following factors:
 Outside Air temperature
 Air density (Airport Elevation)
 Last Engine Shutdown time (Transit Time)

Depending upon the above factors, the ideal Run time may vary from 2:20 Mnts to
4:40 Mnts for each Engine. As mitigation action, hardware (#3 and #4 bearing
damper) and software (EEC) modification has been planned by P&W in Q3 in

production engines. Post modification, the ideal run time expected to be reduced to
1:20 Mnts to 2:40 Mnts for each engine.

k) To maintain the ideal run before Engine start, the start valve will be modulated by
EEC and hence manual over ride feature is not available for this Engine. The start
valve fault is considered NO-GO as per MEL. However, a modified start valve with
manual override feature expected to be introduced in Q2 of 0217.

To cater the emergency scenario one start valve will be carried on board as fly away
kit for each Neo aircraft till the final fix is available.

l) Post acceptance of the aircraft, ALTERNATE CLIMB OPTION modification will

be performed vide P&W SB 72-00-0003 and Airbus SB A320-72-1037 respectively
by Airbus team at delivery center. As per the SB, post modification, the Engine
Model will be classified as PW1127GA-JM.

m) While Opening the Thrust Reverser Cowl, obey the safety precaution in accordance
with AMM
“DO NOT OPEN THE THRUST REVERSER HALVES IF THE WING
LEADING EDGE SLATS ARE EXTENDED. DAMAGE TO THE THRUST
REVERSER, WING LEADING EDGE SLATS AND WING CAN OCCUR”

n) The existing Weekly Inspection schedule No. GOAIR/QD-INSP/A320/03A has

been revised (Issue 01 Rev 01 dated 08-Jun-2016 effective from 10-Jun-2016) for
addition of a new task has to collect a minimum of 25ml i.e half bottle of oil
samples from engines for analysis recommended by P & W.
The sample will be marked with the following details:
o Aircraft Registration
o Engine serial number
o Engine hours at the time of sampling
o Date of sampling
o Amount of oil added since last sample
Note: To calculate this data, date of oil sampling is to be recorded in
Section VII (Engine/ APU Oil uplift summary) of the Flight Report
Book.
