EFIS ARCHITECTURE
The 3 DMCs can be considered as data concentrators. They are in
charge of acquiring data and parameters from various aircraft systems
and to process them for sending to the display units. The DMC 1
normally drives the CAPT PFD and ND, and the DMC 2 normally
drives the F/O PFD and ND. The DMC 3 is in standby and can be
used in case of DMC 1 and/or 2 failure. For the EFIS displays, data
from the Air Data and Inertial Reference System (ADIRS) and the
navigation data from the Flight Management Guidance and Envelope
System (FMGES) are sent directly to the DMCs.

INDICATING SYSTEM (continued)
TAIL STRIKE INDICATOR
Because of the length of the A340-500/600 fuselage, it is necessary
to have an indication that shows if there is a tail strike during the
takeoff or landing phase. The tail strike indication is an attention getter
for the flight crew. The sensor is installed at the rear of the fuselage.
If the fuselage touches the ground during takeoff or landing, an
indication is displayed on the ECAM to tell the crew. This system can
give critical information to the crew, to go back to the airport and
make sure that the correct maintenance procedure(s) after a tail strike
are done.
On A330/A340 aircraft, the optional "Tail strike pitch limit indicator"
function can be used to show the maximum pitch attitude that prevents
the tail strike risk at takeoff and landing. This function is done in the
FMGEC. This function does not make an ECAM message come into
view when the fuselage touches the ground.

CMS
GENERAL
The Central Maintenance Computer (CMC 1) centralizes and
memorizes failure messages produced by the system BITE and
warnings generated by the Flight Warning Computers (FWCs). The
CMC lets the maintenance personnel make system operational tests,
functional checks and read-out of BITE memory through the
Multipurpose Control Display Unit (MCDU). The CMC builds up
reports using memorized failures and warnings. These reports can be
printed, using the onboard printer, or transmitted to the ground, using
the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU). They can also be displayed on
the MCDU.

NOTE: Note: a CMC2 can be optionally installed.


AIRcraft Maintenance ANalysis (AIRMAN), which is an optional
ground-based software dedicated to optimize the maintenance of
fly-by-wire Airbus aircraft, analyses mainly the following data:
- Real Time Warning (RTW) and fault messages (RTF),
- the Post Flight Report (PFR) at the end of the flight.
AIRMAN gives to each event a link to the Trouble Shooting Manual
GDI14311-1 - G02T4MM0 - FM45P9000000001

(TSM) and the related documents.

AIRMAN
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
AIRMAN is a ground-based software dedicated to the identification
and the management of unscheduled maintenance.
It receives and analyses the aircraft status information generated by
the Onboard Maintenance System (OMS) and also e-logbook data.
These information sources are synthesized, combined with Airbus's
and the Airline's own technical documentation and presented through
a user-friendly interface. Aircraft status information is sent to
AIRMAN while the aircraft is both in flight and on ground. Message
analysis also takes place in real-time.
These capabilities maximize the time available for appropriate
maintenance actions to be determined and preparations to be made.
AIRMAN is also capable of analyzing an aircraft's fault history and
consequently identifying and prioritizing predictive maintenance
actions.

AC GENERATION
There are two panels to control the AC/DC electrical network:
- The main electrical panel
- The EMER control panel.
The lower part of the electrical panel is the AC part. It controls and
monitors the main AC power sources which are:
- IDGs,
- EXT PWR A and B,
- and APU GEN,
via guarded and non-guarded pushbutton indicator switches.
There is also a pushbutton switch to control a manual isolation of the
transfer bus (Bus Tie) and a dedicated pushbutton switch to force the
reconfiguration of the AC ESS network in some failure cases.
The EMERgency ELECtrical PoWeR panel contains the P/BSWs and
indicators to control and monitor the emergency power source, which
is the emergency generator (CSM/G). The AC electrical page of the
ECAM shows the AC sources and how they are connected to the
network. The most important parameters are also monitored.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When working on the electrical system, obey all the AMM safety
procedures. This will prevent injury to persons and/or damage to the
aircraft. Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the
electrical system. During any maintenance task on the electrical system,
there is a risk of electrocution if the AC or DC power remains connected.
Follow the AMM procedures and warnings. Make sure that you can
manage the weight of the component before you remove/install it, some
components are heavy.
Before connecting the Ground Power Unit (GPU) to the external power
receptacle of the aircraft, make sure that the external electrical power
supply is not energized, dangerous arcing can occur. Make sure that all
the circuits are isolated before supplying electrical power to the aircraft.
Be careful when working on the engine components, immediately after
the engine shutdown; the components can remain hot during one hour.
Hot parts can cause an injury and hot oil can burn your eyes and skin.

ADIRS
GENERAL
The A/C has three identical and interchangeable ADIRUs. Each
ADIRU combines two functions in a single unit and a shared power
supply:
- an Air Data Reference (ADR) unit,
- a strapdown Inertial Reference (IR) unit, using laser gyros and
accelerometers.
The ADR and IR parts of each ADIRU operate independently, and
the failure of one system does not affect the other one.

WEATHER RADAR (continued)
CONTROL AND INDICATING
The WXR/PWS transceiver generates the microwave pulses. A
wave-guide is used as a Radio Frequency (RF) connection between
the transceiver and the antenna. The antenna is used for transmitting
and receiving the RF signals. The return signal is processed and
formatted by the transceiver for display on the ND. When a windshear
event is detected, the information is displayed to the crew on both
EFIS displays. An aural warning is also generated. A weather radar
control unit enables the crew to control the mode of operation of the
WXR/PWS. It also enables them to adjust several parameters (e.g.
antenna tilt or gain control).

NOTE: Optionally, the weather radar control unit with Auto-Tilt


Function (Honeywell) or the weather radar control unit with
the multiscan mode (Rockwell Collins) can be installed.

ATC PRINCIPLE
The ATC transponder is interrogated by radar pulses received from
the ground station. It automatically replies back to the ground station
with a series of pulses. Depending on the type of transponder installed
on the aircraft, the system supplies air traffic controllers with: Aircraft
identification for a mode A transponder, aircraft barometric altitude
for a mode C transponder, and a unique aircraft address and flight
data for a mode S transponder. With their discrete addressing and
digital encoding, mode S transmissions can be used as a digital data
link. The ATC transponder also replies to interrogations from other
aircraft with a TCAS.

VOR/MKR/DME/ADF
PRINCIPLE
The VOR system is a navigation aid that receives, decodes and
processes signals received from the omnidirectional ground station,
for the bearing information. The MKR system is a radio navigation
aid, which gives indicators related to the distance between the aircraft
and the runway threshold.

NOTE: The MKR and VOR features are included in the same
computer and the MKR function is only active in
VOR/MKR1.
The DME system is a radio navigation aid that computes the slant
distance between the aircraft and a DME ground station. The ADF
system is a radio navigation aid that computes the bearing of an ADF
ground station in respect of the aircraft heading.

22 AUTO FLIGHT SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)


GENERAL
The functions of the Automatic Flight System (AFS) are to alleviate the
crew workload by controlling the aircraft trajectory within a flight
envelope and the engine thrust automatically. It allows to optimize the
fuel consumption and to increase flight comfort and safety. To achieve
these objectives, the AFS is composed of:
- Flight Envelope (FE) functional part,
- Flight Guidance (FG) functional part,
- Flight Management (FM) functional part,
- Maintenance and test facilities.
For reliability and redundancy functions, the AFS is made of two identical
and interchangeable Flight Management Guidance and Envelope
Computers (FMGECs). The major functions of the AFS are implemented
in the FMGECs. The AFS also fulfills the dedicated interface with the
Central Maintenance System (CMS) by means of the Fault Isolation and
Detection System (FIDS) active on FMGEC 1. In addition to the
FMGECs, the AFS interfaces with the crew via:
- one Flight Control Unit (FCU),
- three Multipurpose Control & Display Units (MCDUs).
As a principle, when the AFS is active, the aircraft control is automatic.
GDI14311-1 - G02T4MM0 - FM22P6000000001

The pilots interface with the FG via the FCU for short-term actions and
with the FM via the MCDUs for long-term actions. The AFS automatically
controls the aircraft trajectory via the Electrical Flight Control System
(EFCS) and the relevant flight controls. Note that, in manual operation,
the EFCS also controls the surfaces via the same actuators from pilot side
stick inputs. The AFS also automatically controls the engine thrust via
the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC). Note that, in manual
operation, the FADEC also controls the engines from pilot inputs via the
thrust control levers. During AFS operation, side sticks and thrust control
levers do not move automatically.

FLIGHT ENVELOPE
The FE part is basically in charge of:
- the acquisition and monitoring of the various aircraft parameters used
by the AFS,
- the speed envelope computation,
- the detection of the abnormal flight conditions (e.g. windshear detection).
FE information is mainly displayed on the EFIS PFDs.

FLIGHT GUIDANCE
The FG part performs three functions: Autopilot (AP), Flight Director
(FD) and AutoTHRust (A/THR). The AP function computes guidance
orders used for automatic flight control surface deflections. The FD
function displays orders that would be followed by the AP if it was
engaged. The A/THR function computes the thrust command for
automatic engine control.

NOTE: The A/THR function of the AFS does not manage a throttle
displacement but a thrust value.
Engagement/disengagement of the AP, FD and A/THR functions are
controllable from the FCU. Disengagement of the AP and A/THR
functions can also be done using the same devices enabling manual control
of the flight controls and the engines. FG information are mainly displayed
on the EFIS PFDs.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
The FM part performs several functions for the pilots, related to flight
planning, navigation and performance optimization using a navigation
database and a performance database. The MCDUs enable pilots to create
or select a flight plan then to modify it if necessary, and to monitor it in
flight. A flight plan describes a complete flight from departure to arrival,
including lateral information retrieved from the navigation database and
vertical information computed from the performance database. In addition,
a fundamental function of the FM is to calculate the position of the aircraft
using different aircraft sensors. Knowing the position of the aircraft and
the flight plan to be flown, the FM is able to compute the orders sent to
the FG for the automatic control of the aircraft trajectory and engine
thrust. Besides the MCDUs, FM information is displayed on the EFIS
NDs.

MCDUs
There are 3 identical MCDUs on the pedestal. The MCDU is the
primary entry/display interface between the pilot and the FM part of
the FMGEC. The MCDUs exchange information not directly but via
the FMGECs. Only two MCDU's (1 AND 2) are used in normal
operation. MCDU 3 is used as a back- up in case of failure of another
one.

FCU
The FCU front face includes an AFS control panel between two EFIS
control panels. The AFS control panel allows the AP and A/THR
engagement. It displays their status and is used for the selection of
guidance modes and flight parameters. Speed, lateral guidance and
level change can be selected by the pilot after a "pull" action or
managed by the FM part after a "push" action on their related control
knob. In that case, the parameter window shows dashes (- - - -) and a
white dot illuminates to indicate that the reference is managed. An
exception to this rule is when the V/S - FPA knob is pushed, a level
off is immediately commanded. The Altitude window is never dashed.

MAINTENANCE/TEST FACILITIES
The FIDS installed in the FMGEC serves as the SYSTEM BITE
(maintenance data concentrator).
The FIDS is linked in acquisition and reception to the CMS and is
connected to the BITEs of the various AFS computers.
It receives commands from the CMS, interprets these commands and
transfers them, if applicable, to the various BITEs concerned.
It receives malfunction reports from the BITEs, manages these reports,
and, if applicable, consolidates the BITE diagnosis and generates a fault
message which is sent to the CMS.

SPEECH COMMUNICATION
Each HF and VHF system is composed of a transmission/reception
antenna circuit and a transceiver. The transceiver transforms radio
waves into audio signals or data. The HF and VHF transceiver
frequencies can be selected using the Radio Management Panels
(RMPs). All audio signals go through the Audio Management Unit
(AMU) to be sent to the different cockpit acoustic devices. Channels
and volume are selected on the Audio Control Panels (ACP).

STATIC DISCHARGING SYSTEM
During flight, the aircraft becomes charged with static electricity.
Random discharge of this electricity cause interference in the
communication and navigation systems. Installation of static
dischargers at selected points on the fuselage, decreases the effects
of the discharge interference. Usually these points are on the trailing
edges of the flight control surfaces. There are two types of dischargers,
which are installed in different positions: straight mount type and
30-degree angle mount type.

CONTROL AND INDICATING
The RMPs give the capability of tuning all communication radios.
The frequencies are tuned by using the 2 concentric knobs. There are
two RMPs installed on the center pedestal and a third one on the
overhead panel. Any RMP can tune any communication radio but
each one is normally dedicated to a particular radio.
- RMP 1 is dedicated to VDR 1,
- RMP 2 is dedicated to VDR 2,
- RMP 3 is dedicated to VDR 3 and HFDR 1/HFDR 2.
The ACPs control the channel selection and the volume of
transmission/reception. There are three ACPs installed next to an
RMP. Two are installed on the center pedestal, a third one on the
overhead panel. The CAPT or F/O can use the third occupant ACP
to replace a faulty ACP. A manual switching is then required.
The cockpit crew uses the CALLS panel to get the attention of the
ground mechanic or of the cabin. The action on one of the pushbuttons
will trigger visual and audio signals.
The EVACuation panel is installed on the overhead panel in the
cockpit. It is used for the activation of the evacuation command from
GDI14311-1 - G02T4MM0 - FM23P7000000001

the cockpit only or from the cockpit and the pursers station.
The CALLS panel is also used for the communications between the
cockpit and the different crew rest compartments.
On the A340-500/600, an optional panel on the cockpit (211VU) is
used for the communication between the cockpit and the Bulk crew
rest compartment.

CIDS (continued)
FAP
The touch-screen of the Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) is the interactive
interface between the CIDS and the cabin and maintenance crew
members. Below the screen, there is a hard key panel. The FAP is
connected to the two CIDS DIRirectors (DIRs) through high-speed
buses.
DIRECTORS
The two CIDS DIRs are fully identical and are wired in parallel. One
actively controls the CIDS, the other one is in hot standby. The DIRs
need to download their program and configuration to run correctly.
The software is stored in a single On-Board Replaceable Module
(OBRM), plugged into the front face of the FAP. Next to the OBRM,
the Cabin Assignment Module (CAM) stores the system properties
and the cabin layout configuration data. A Pre-Recorded
Announcements and boarding Music (PRAM) sends pre-recorded
announcements and boarding music to the DIRs to make them
broadcast through the Passenger Address (PA) system. There are two
types of PRAM, which have identical functions. It can be a flash
GDI14311-1 - G02T4MM0 - FM23P7000000001

memory type plugged into the FAP or an audio-tape reproducer


installed in the avionics bay. The PRAM, whatever its type, is
controlled from the FAP. The DIR will also use data from other aircraft
systems. The DIRs are connected to the cabin systems. Each DIR
contains a dedicated BITE and is able to transfer the internal and
external test results to the Central Maintenance System (CMS).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When you work on aircraft, make sure that you obey all the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM) safety procedures. This will prevent injury
to persons and/or damage to the aircraft. Here is an overview of main
safety precautions related to the communications system. Make sure that
all circuits in maintenance are isolated before you apply electrical power
to the aircraft. Unwanted electrical power can be dangerous. Although
the HF antenna is mounted near the vertical stabilizer, the RF energy
generated during transmissions can cause an explosion if being used
during refueling. Do not transmit during refueling. When working on the
aircraft make sure that you focus on the tasks. Interruptions can lead to
errors. These errors can lead to an accident. To avoid these interruptions,
it is prudent to advise the flight crew, ground crew and cabin crew of
your progress.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When working on the lights system, Obey to all the AMM safety
procedures. This will prevent injury to persons and/or damage to the A/C.
Here is an overview of main safety precautions relative to the lights
system:
- isolate the electrical circuits from the related equipment and the
environment to prevent injury to persons and/or A/C damage,
- when replacing a lamp, do not touch the glass with your fingers. The
oils from your skin may quickly cause deterioration of the lamp. If you
accidentally touch the lamp glass, clean it with a lint-free cloth.
- make sure that the ground safety locks are correctly installed on the
nose gear and doors. This prevents unwanted movement of the NLG and
NLG doors,
- be careful when you change the strobe or taxi/take-off lamps, they stay
hot several minutes after switch-off,
- do not look directly at some lights without eyes protection. Their
intensity can be high enough to cause permanent damage to your eyes,
- be careful when you work on the powered strobe light. Wait ten minutes
after de-energization of the electrical circuits, as some components have
dangerous voltages, which can kill or injure you.
