The fuselage structure has frames.
There is one station for each frame.
To measure the fuselage station, the reference used is the X datum
line. The station 0 (X=0) is the reference line for all structural
measurements.
This reference is on the X axis, installed 5340mm forward of the
radome.
The fuselage station number shows the distance of a cross section
from the X=0 in millimeters.
The wing structure has ribs.
There is one station for each rib.
All stations are parallel to the X axis of the aircraft.
The station 0 is for RIB1.
All measurements are:
- At 90 degrees to RIB1
- Measured between RIB1 and the intersection of each rib datum with
the front spar datum.

AIRCRAFT ZONES - PRESENTATION - FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION

Functional Item Number (FIN) - Presentation
Each item of equipment on the aircraft is identified by a different
Functional Item Number (FIN).
The basic element of the FIN is a two-letter code that shows which
system/circuit the equipment is a part of (for example, 4GG4 in which
GG is the code for a mechanical system/circuit).
For electrical equipment, the FIN is almost the same as a mechanical
FIN, but the second letter of the system/circuit identifier becomes a
Q (for example, GQ).
A prefix and a suffix are added to this code to give the identification
of each item of equipment.
The prefixes give the sequence number (4 digits).
The suffixes identify components which have the same function in
the same circuit.
As a general rule, the suffixes identify the location side of the
component. An even-number suffix identifies a component on the
right hand side and an odd-number suffix identifies a component on
the left hand side.
NOTE: Some FIN numbers (access panels, access doors...) obey

V1813401 - V01T0M0 - VM02P1LEVEL0101
different rules. They are identified by a five-character code

(3 digits and 2 letters).
Example: 534AB
The first digit identifies the major zone (e.g. 500).
The second digit identifies the major sub-zone (e.g. 530).
The third digit identifies the unit zone (e.g. 534).
The first letter gives the sequence identification and starts
with the letter A. On the wing, this digit is increased from
inboard to outboard.
The second letter gives the location in the zone (e.g. B =
Bottom).
V1813401 - V01T0M0 - VM02P1LEVEL0101
FUNCTIONAL ITEM NUMBER (FIN) - PRESENTATION - FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) - Presentation
All the LRUs have a tag in which there is a micro-chip to identify
them (designation, P/N, etc ...).
Those tags are based on the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
technology.
The data contained in this micro-chip are read (or written) with a
reader (RFID reader/writer).

AIRN@V ACCESSES - PRESENTATION - FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION

New Concept for Documentation - Presentation
For the A350 XWB, the concept of manuals (ATA standard) used
until this time is replaced. The documentation is put into business
categories to agree with the S1000D standard.
Because of this, as an alternative to manuals (AMM, TSM,...) Airbus
supplies data modules (System Description, Maintenance Procedure,
Fault reporting,...) which are parts of the business categories directly
related to the job.
All the manuals that were included in AirN@v Maintenance (ATA
standard) become part of AirN@v LINE (S1000D standard) as
business categories, not as manuals.
The MPD, that was part of AirN@v planning as a manual, is also
replaced in the S1000D standard by the scheduled tasks business
category.

In flight, the A/C uses the Very High Frequency (VHF) or SATellite
COMmunication (SATCOM).
On the ground, Wifi, wired connection and cellular communications
are also available.
These communications help to make aircraft operation and
maintenance faster and more satisfactory, because there are better
links between the aircraft and the ground facilities.

Placards and Markings - Presentation
Commercial transport aircraft have a large number of markings and
placards on their outside surface and inside the cabin. There purpose
is to:
- Give warning about the dangers
- Give instructions
- Give the location of equipment.
Markings and placards are written for targeted populations, which
can be from different cultures and with different skills.
Internal instructions remain as written markings.
Placards that use pictograms help:
- To prevent the problem of accurate precise translations for many
languages
- To remove ambiguities in verbal phrases and their interpretation
- To decrease the work to keep placards and manuals consistent
- To get a fleet-wide commonality
- To decrease training for crews because of the similarity with
non-aviation symbols
- To make new placards not necessary after operator change
- To give aid to dyslexic people to get the information
