SCOPE
1-1-0 Purpose
This revision is now a merging of the Maintenance Facility Planning (MFP) document and the
Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning (AC). This document has been renamed Aircraft
Characteristics - Airport and Maintenance Planning (AC) to reflect this change.
Additionally, a chapter 10 ”Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting” has been added to the AC. This
chapter contains the illustrations of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire fighting Charts poster and replaces
the PDF document that was available for download.
This document is not customized and must not be used for training purposes.
The A340 is part of an integrated family sharing the same modern technology as the A330 and
maintaining the commonality that is integrated into the Airbus Fly-by-Wire Family. It has undergone
a program of continuous improvement and still delivers the value that airline customers expect, as the
A340 has over 50 customers and operators with more than 350 A340s flying to over 150 airports
every week.
The different models of the A340 Family can carry from 250 to 440 passengers and are operating on
some of the world’s longest routes.
A stand-out benefit of the four-engine A340 is that it does not require any ETOPS certification. This
allows quick start-up of long-haul operations. It also has good ’hot and high’ capability at airports
that would be off-limits to other aircraft.
The A340 has one of the quietest and most comfortable cabins in the sky, with state-of-the-art LED
(Light Emitting Diode) lighting, mood styles of lighting and AVOD IFE systems.
The A340 combines good capability, economics and passenger product in one package.

The minimum maintenance pit envelopes for the main landing gear shock absorber removal are shown
in Figures 1 and 2.
The dimensions for the pits have been determined for these design factors:
- The length and width of the pits allow the gear to rotate as the weight is taken off the landing
gear
- The depth of the pits allow the shock absorber to be removed when all the weight is taken off the
landing gear.
Dimensions for elevators and associated mechanisms must be added to those in Figures 1 and 2.
A. Elevators
The aircraft must be in position over the pits to put the gear on the elevators. Jacks must be
installed and engaged with all the jacking points (Ref. Section 2-14 for Jacking).
Jacks must support the total aircraft weight, i.e. when the landing gears do not touch the
elevators on retraction/extension tests.
When tripod support jacks are used, the tripod-base circle radius must be limited because the
locations required for positioning the jacks are close to the sides of the pits.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The Main Landing Gears are located under each wing and retract sideways towards the fuselage
centerline.
The Centerline Landing Gear is located on the belly and retract forward into a bay in the fuselage.
The Nose Landing Gear retracts forward into a fuselage compartment below the cockpit.
The retraction and extension of the landing gears and landing gear doors are operated hydraulically
and mechanically. The control, sequence and indication are electrical.
In abnormal operation, the landing gears can be extended by gravity.
For the dimensions of the landing gear footprint and tire size, refer to 7-2-0
2. Main Landing Gear and Doors
Each Main Landing Gear has a leg assembly and a four-wheel bogie beam. The MLG leg includes a
shortening mechanism, a bogie pitch trimmer and an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. In flight, with
the MLG extended, the bogie is held in a trailing condition (rear wheels low) by an articulation
linkage and a pitch trimmer. The folding sidestay is locked mechanically by a lockstay (which is
operated by the downlock actuator) when the MLG is fully extended.
All the doors close when the MLG retracts. When the MLG is extended the main door closes and the
hinged door stays open. A manually operated mechanism (for maintenance personnel) lets the main
doors be opened for access to the MLG bay when the aircraft is on the ground.
3. Centerline Landing Gear and Doors
The CLG includes a twin-wheel axle assembly and a leg assembly that includes an oleo pneumatic
shock absorber. The CLG is supported longitudinally by a two-piece folding dragstay. The dragstay is
locked mechanically by the lock links when the CLG is fully extended.
Page 6
2-9-0 Apr 01/13
@A340-200/-300
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
All the doors close when the CLG retracts. When the CLG is extended the FWD doors close and the
AFT doors stay open. A door opening mechanism lets the FWD doors be opened on the ground for
access to the CLG bay.
4. Nose Landing Gear and Doors
The NLG includes a twin-wheel axle assembly and an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. The NLG is
supported longitudinally by a two-piece dragstay. The dragstay is locked mechanically by the lock
links when the NLG is fully extended.
All the doors close when the NLG retracts. When the NLG is extended the FWD doors close and the
AFT doors stay open. A door opening mechanism lets the FWD doors be opened on the ground for
access to the NLG bay.
5. Nose Wheel Steering
Nose wheel steering system is a computer controlled electro-hydraulic system. The system uses the
Green main hydraulic power system to operate the hydraulic components.
The steering is controlled by two hand wheel transmitters in the cockpit, which supply the primary
steering inputs to the BSCU (Brake and Steering Control Unit ).
A steering disconnection box is installed on the NLG to disconnect the steering for towing.
For the operation and control of nose wheel steering, refer to AMM 32-51-00.
For the steering angle limits, refer to AMM 09-10-00.
6. Landing Gear Servicing Points
A. General
Fluid filling and gas charging of the MLG,CLG and NLG shock absorbers are accomplished
through MS28889 standard valves.
B. Charging Pressures
For charging of the landing gear shock absorbers, refer to AMM 12-14-32.
7. Landing Gear Control
Page 7
2-9-0 Apr 01/13
@A340-200/-300
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The landing gear and door operation is controlled electrically by one of the two Landing Gear Control
and Interface Units (LGCIU). Control changes from one LGCIU to the other after each extension
cycle.
In normal operation, the landing gears and doors are operated by the Green hydraulic system.
In abnormal operation, the landing gears can be extended by the operation of electro-mechanical free-
fall system. The related electrical switches in the cockpit disengages the doors and the landing gear
uplocks. The landing gears then extend by free-fall and the downlock links of each landing gear (L/G)
are locked in position by springs.
8. Braking
A. General
Carbon multi-disc brakes are installed on each wheel of the MLG. Each brake assembly has two
wear indicators installed.
The braking system has four braking modes and also autobrake and anti-skid systems:
- Normal braking with anti-skid
- Alternate braking with anti-skid
- Alternate braking without anti-skid
- Parking brake with full brake pressure.
B. In-Flight Wheel Braking
Braking occurs automatically during the retraction of the landing gears. This stops the rotation
of the MLG wheels before the landing gears go into their related bays.
The wheels of the NLG are braked by spring loaded pads.
9. Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS)
The TPIS automatically monitors the tire pressures and shows these values on Test Equipment
(BITE) and also supplies other data and warnings on the WHEEL page of the System Display (SD).

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The fan and booster assembly consists of a single-stage fan rotor and a four-stage axial booster,
cantilever-mounted at the rear of the fan disk. The compressor is a nine-stage axial flow
assembly. Air, taken in through the fan and booster sections, passes through successive stages
of rotor blades and stator vanes, being compressed as it passes from stage to stage. After
passing through the 9 high pressure compressor stages, the air is fully compressed. The Inlet
Guide Vanes (IGV) and the first 3 stages of the compressor are variable. The combustion
chamber is a short, annular structure. The combustion of fuel takes place in the combustor
installed in the combustion casing. The HPT module consists of a single-stage nozzle and rotor.
The HPT is an air-cooled single-stage high-energy turbine. Rotor blades are individually
replaceable without the need for rotor disassembly or re-balancing. The LPT consists of 5 stages
of blades and vanes. The LPT drives the fan rotor through the inner concentric shaft and is
aerodynamically coupled to the high pressure system. The engine and aircraft accessories are
mounted on the accessory gearbox which is located on the lower portion of the fan casing and is
driven by a shaft from the transfer gearbox. Power for the engine and the aircraft accessories is
extracted from the high pressure compressor rotor shaft through an inlet gearbox through the
radial drive shaft to the transfer gearbox.
B. Nacelle
The nacelle provides protection for the engine and the engine accessories, and aerodynamic
airflow around the engine during operation. Each engine is housed in a nacelle suspended from a
pylon attached below the wing. The nacelle consists of the following major components:
(1) Air Intake Cowl Assembly
The engine air intake cowl structure is an interchangeable aerodynamically-faired assembly.
It is installed on the forward face of the engine fan case.

A part of the automatic system, with the pneumatic and the electromechanical controls, operates the
start and the acceleration functions of the APU.
An air intake system with a flap-type door is installed in front of the APU compartment. The exhaust
gases pass overboard at the end of the fuselage cone.
2. Powerplant
The APU is the Garrett Gas-Turbine Compressor Power-unit (GTCP) 331-350C with a single shaft
engine.
The engine is the primary component of the APU, which is of the modular design. The modules of
the engine are:
- The power section
- The load compressor
- The accessory drive gearbox with LRU(s).
The power section has a two-stage centrifugal compressor, a reverse-flow annular combustion
chamber and a three-stage axial turbine. The power section directly operates the one-stage
centrifugal load-compressor which supplies the bleed-air to the pneumatic system. The inlet guide
vanes as part of the load compressor, control the airflow.
The power section also operates the gearbox which is attached to the load compressor. The following
LRU’s are mounted on the gearbox :
- the APU generator,
- the starter motor,
- the oil pump,
- the Fuel Control Unit (FCU),
- the cooling air fan.
The APU has a gearbox-driven oil-cooled AC generator.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The cooling air and ventilation system of the APU supplies the air for cooling of the APU and the
equipment on the APU. It also supplies the air for ventilation of the APU compartment.
3. Control circuit
The Electronic Control Box (ECB), which controls the Fuel Control Unit (FCU) and the Inlet Guide
Vanes (IGV), keeps the APU at a constant speed. The control circuit is used to start the APU, to
shut it down, to control it and to prevent internal failure.
4. Controls and Indication
The primary APU controls and indications are installed in the overhead panel, on the center pedestal
panel and on the forward center panel. External APU panels are also installed on the nose landing
gear and on the refuel/defuel panel, to initiate an APU emergency shut-down.

NOTE : You can lift the aircraft at the Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW).
2. Main Landing Gear (MLG)
To lift the MLG bogie with jacks, a dome shaped pad (PN MS33559 TYPE IV) is installed below the
FWD and AFT ends of each bogie beam. Each pair of wheels and brake units can be replaced on the
end of the bogie that is lifted.
Both FWD and AFT ends of the bogie beam can be lifted together, but the bogie beam must be kept
level during the lift to prevent damage.
The MLG has a pitch trimmer installed. If an MLG has all four tires deflated or shredded, replace the
wheel assemblies in this sequence:
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the AFT axle,
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the FWD axle.
If the FWD axle is lifted first the pitch trimmer contacts the outstop. Further jacking will cause the
whole bogie to be lifted.
Important dimensions on heights of the MLG when lifted are shown in Figure ”MLG Jacking Point
Heights”.
The maximum height of the bogie beam when lifted must not exceed 650 mm (25.6 in).
The reaction loads at each jack position are shown in Figure ”MLG Jacking Point Loads”.
NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance
between the ground and the tire.
3. Nose Landing Gear (NLG)
To lift the NLG axle with a jack, a dome shaped pad (PN MS33559 Type II) is installed between the
wheels.
Important dimensions on heights of the NLG when lifted are shown in Figure ”NLG Jacking Point
Heights”.
The reaction loads at the jack position are shown in Figure ”NLG Jacking Point Loads”.
NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance
between the ground and the tire.

The aircraft must not be lifted or supported by the wings or fuselage alone. It is important to support
the aircraft fuselage and wings at the same time to prevent structural damage.
A. Shoring Cradles
Shoring cradles are used when it is necessary to stress-jack the aircraft to carry out maintenance
and repair work. These are used to oppose the deflections of the wings and reduce the stresses
to an acceptable level at the area of maintenance and repair.
The shoring cradles, each with two adjustable pads, 152.4 mm (6 in) square, are positioned at
four locations under each wing.
The adjustable pads are faced with thin rubber and are in contact with the wing profile at the
datum intersections of the ribs and the front and rear spars (F/S and R/S).

GROUND MANEUVERING
For ease of presentation, this data has been determined from the theoretical limits imposed by the
geometry of the aircraft, and where noted, provides for a normal allowance for tire slippage. As such,
it reflects the turning capability of the aircraft in favorable operating circumstances. This data should
only be used as guidelines for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In the ground operating mode, varying airline practices may demand that more conservative turning
procedures be adopted to avoid excessive tire wear and reduce possible maintenance problems. Airline
operating techniques will vary in the level of performance, over a wide range of operating
circumstances throughout the world. Variations from standard aircraft operating patterns may be
necessary to satisfy physical constraints within the maneuvering area, such as adverse grades, limited
area or high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should be
coordinated with the using airlines prior to layout planning.

TERMINAL SERVICING
This chapter provides typical ramp layouts, corresponding minimum turnaround time estimations,
locations of ground service points and service requirements.
The information given in this chapter reflects ideal conditions. Actual ramp layouts and service
requirements may vary according to local regulations, airline procedures and the airplane condition.
Section 5.1 shows typical ramp layouts for passenger aircraft at the gate or on an Open Apron and
freighter aircraft on an Open Apron.
Section 5.2 shows the minimum turnaround schedules for full servicing arrangements (turnround
stations).
Section 5.3 shows the minimum turnaround schedule for reduced servicing arrangements (en route
stations).
Section 5.4 gives the locations of ground service connections, the standard of connections used and
typical capacities and requirements.
Section 5.5 provides the engine starting pneumatic requirements for different engine types and
different ambient temperatures.
Section 5.6 provides the air conditioning requirements for heating and cooling (pull-down and pull-up)
using ground conditioned air for different ambient temperatures.
Section 5.7 provides the air conditioning requirements for heating and cooling to maintain a constant
cabin air temperature using low pressure conditioned air.
Section 5.8 shows the ground towing requirements taking into account different ground surface and
aircraft conditions.

A. Air data (discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure) are given at the HPGC.
B. For the requirements below, the configuration with two HPGC is used. Using one connector only
(for a given mass flow rate and discharge pressure from the ASU) will increase the pressure loss
in the ducts of the bleed system and therefore lower the performances at the engine starter.
C. For a given OAT the following charts are used to determine an acceptable combination for air
discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure and mass flow rate.
D. This section is addressing requirements for the ASU only, and is not representative of the start
performance of the aircraft using the APU or engine cross bleed procedure.
E. To protect the A/C, the charts feature, if necessary:
- The maximum discharge pressure at the HPGC
- The maximum discharge temperature at the HPGC.

A. The air flow rates and temperature requirements for the GSE, provided in Sections 5.6 and 5.7,
are given at A/C ground connection.
NOTE : The maximum air flow is driven by pressure limitation at the ground connection.
B. The air flow rates and temperature requirements for the GSE are given for the A/C in the
configuration ”2 LP ducts connected”.
NOTE : The cooling capacity of the equipment (kW) is only indicative and is not sufficient by
itself to ensure the performance (outlet temperature and flow rate combinations are
the requirements needed for ground power).
An example of cooling capacity calculation is given in Section 5.7.
C. For temperatures at ground connection below +2˚C (+35.6˚F) (Subfreezing), the ground
equipment shall be compliant with the Airbus document ”Subfreezing PCA Carts -- Compliance
Document for Suppliers” (contact Airbus to obtain this document) defining all the requirements
with which Subfreezing Pre-Conditioning Air equipment must comply to allow its use on Airbus
aircraft. These requirements are in addition to the functional specifications included in the IATA
AHM997.
2. Ground Pneumatic Power Requirements
This section provides the ground pneumatic power requirements for:
- Heating (pull up) the cabin, initially at OAT, up to 21˚C (69.8˚F) FIGURE 5---0-99--002-A
- Cooling (pull down) the cabin, initially at OAT, down to 27˚C (80.6˚F) FIGURE 5---0-99--004-

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

This section shows the chart to determine the draw bar pull and tow tractor mass requirements as a
function of the following physical characteristics:
- Aircraft weight,
- Number of engines at idle,
- Slope.
A conventional type towbar is required which should be equipped with a damping system (to protect
the nose gear against jerks) and with towing shear pins:
- A traction shear pin calibrated at 28 620 daN (64 340 lbf),
- A torsion pin calibrated at 3 130 m.daN (276 991 lbf.in).
The towing head is designed according to SAE AS 1614, cat. III.

EXAMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE MASS REQUIREMENT TO TOW A A340−200 OR −300 AT 270 t, AT 1.5%
SLOPE, 2 ENGINES AT IDLE AND FOR WET TARMAC CONDITIONS:
− ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH, CHOOSE THE RELEVANT AIRCRAFT WEIGHT (270 t),
− FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUIRED SLOPE PERCENTAGE (1.5%),
− FROM THIS POINT OBTAINED DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE UNTIL NO OF ENGINES AT IDLE = 4,
− FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUESTED NUMBER OF ENGINES (1),
− FROM THIS POINT DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE TO THE DRAWBAR PULL AXIS,
− THE Y−COORDINATE OBTAINED IS THE NECESSARY DRAWBAR PULL FOR THE TRACTOR (21.3 t),
− SEARCH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE "WET CONCRETE" LINE.
THE OBTAINED X−COORDINATE IS THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT (37.3 t).

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

Example, see FIGURE 7---0-99--004-A, calculation of the thickness of the flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 254 400 kg (560 850 lb),
- The flexible pavement thickness is 1143 mm (45 in) with a related LCN of 103.
The weight on one MLG is 80 000 kg (176 375 lb).
2. Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN table
The following table provides LCN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the
”Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1977”. In order to use the system accurately
you should know the total pavement thickness for flexible pavement.
However, the pavement thickness for a particular runway are not frequently published in the standard
airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.).
Therefore it is common practice to use a standard thickness (20 in) when determining the LCN and
the ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between MRW and the empty weight of the aircraft is required
or if the real thickness is known, refer to figures that follow.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The following table provides LCN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the
”Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1977”. In order to use the system accurately
you should know the total pavement radius of relative stiffness (L-value) for rigid pavement.
However, the pavement radius of relative stiffness for a particular runway are not frequently published
in the standard airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.).
Therefore it is common practice to use a standard radius of relative stiffness (30 inches) when
determining the LCN and the ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between maximum ramp weight and the empty weight of the
aircraft is required or if the real thickness is known, refer to figures that follows.
2. Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of E and µ)
This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion (radius of relative stiffness with other values of E (Young’s modulus) and µ
(Poisson’s ratio).
The other values of E and µ have an effect on the radius of relative stiffness value L.
The effect of E and µ on the radius of relative stiffness value L is shown in the diagrams of FIGURE
7---0-99--015-A.
The table in FIGURE 7---0-99--002-A Radius of Relative Stiffness (L), shows values L based on a
Young’s modulus (E) of 4 000 000 psi and a Poisson’s ratio (µ) of 0.15.
To find values L, you must know the values of E and µ.
Example, see FIGURE 7---0-99--015-A, calculation of values L of the rigid pavement for an E of 3
000 000 psi.

NOTE : An aircraft with an ACN equal to or less than the reported PCN can operate on that
pavement, subject to any limitation on the tire pressure.
(Ref: ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3, Chapter 1, Second Edition 1983).
Example, see FIGURE 7---0-99--014-A (sheet 1), calculation of the ACN for flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 254 400 kg (560 850 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 200 000 kg (440 925 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 42.
Example, see FIGURE 7---0-99--014-A (sheet 2), calculation of the ACN for rigid pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 254 400 kg (560 850 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 200 000 kg (440 925 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 40.
2. Aircraft Classification Number - ACN table
The table FIGURE 7---0-99--004-A and FIGURE 7---0-99--005-A provide ACN data in tabular format
similar to the one used by ICAO in the ”Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition
1983”. If the ACN for an intermediate weight between MRW and the minimum weight of the aircraft
is required, refer to figures that follows.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN / LCN calculation
