SCOPE

1-1-0 Introduction

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Purpose
1. General
The A321 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS -- AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING (AC)
manual is issued for the A321-100 and A321-200 series aircraft equipped with wing-tip fences or
sharklets, to provide necessary data to airport operators, airlines and Maintenance/Repair
Organizations (MRO) for airport and maintenance facilities planning.

Preliminary information on neo (New Engine Option) given in this document can be subject to
change, pending completion of the flight test phase.

This document is not customized and must not be used for training purposes. No information within
may constitute a contractual commitment.

The A320 Family is the worlds best-selling single-aisle aircraft. An A320 takes off or lands
somewhere in the world every 2.5 seconds of every day, the family has logged more than 50 million
cycles since entry-into-service and records a best-in-class dispatch reliability of 99.7%.

To ensure this true market leadership, Airbus continues to invest in improvements in the A320
Family: enhancements to aerodynamics such as the sharklet wingtip devices, upgrades to the widest
passenger cabin in its class, the A320 Family neo. The latter combines top-of-class engine efficiency
offered by two new engine options: the PW1100G PurePower from Pratt&Whitney and the LEAP-1A
from CFM International with superior aerodynamics offered by the new sharklet devices.

The neo will offer a minimum of 15% fuel savings and an additional flight range of about 500 nm
(926 km). For the environment, the neo fuel savings will translate into some 3 600 t (7 936 639 lb)
less CO2 per aircraft per year, together with a double-digit reduction in NOx emissions and reduced
engine noise.

2. Design Weight Terminology

- Maximum Design Ramp Weight (MRW):
Maximum weight for ground maneuver (including weight of taxi and run-up fuel) as limited by
aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements. It is also called Maximum Design Taxi Weight
(MTW).
- Maximum Design Landing Weight (MLW):
Maximum weight for landing as limited by aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements.
- Maximum Design Takeoff Weight (MTOW):
Maximum weight for takeoff as limited by aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements. (This
is the maximum weight at start of the take-off run).
- Maximum Design Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW):
Maximum permissible weight of the aircraft without usable fuel.
- Maximum Seating Capacity:
Maximum number of passengers specifically certified or anticipated for certification.
- Usable Volume:
Usable volume available for cargo, pressurized fuselage, passenger compartment and cockpit.
- Water Volume:
Maximum volume of cargo compartment.
- Usable Fuel:
Fuel available for aircraft propulsion.

1. This section provides the height of various points of the aircraft, above the ground, for different
aircraft configurations.
Dimensions in the tables are approximate and will vary with tire type, weight and balance and other
special conditions.
The dimensions are given for:
- A light weight, for an A/C in maintenance configuration with a mid CG,
- An aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight with a FWD CG and an AFT CG,
- Aircraft on jacks, FDL at 4.60 m (15.09 ft).

NOTE : Passenger and cargo door ground clearances are measured from the center of the door sill
and from floor level.

2-9-0 Landing Gear

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Landing Gear
1. General

The landing gear is of the conventional retractable tricycle type comprising:

- Two main gears with twin-wheel,
- A twin-wheel nose gear.

The main landing gears are located under the wing and retract sideways towards the fuselage
centerline.
The nose landing gear retracts forward into a fuselage compartment located between FR9 and FR20.

The landing gears and landing gear doors are operated and controlled electrically and hydraulically.
In abnormal operation, the landing gear can be extended by gravity.

For landing gear footprint and tire size, refer to 07-02-00.

2. Main Landing Gear
A. Twin-Wheel

Each of the two main landing gear assemblies consists of a conventional two-wheel direct type
with an integral shock absorber supported in the fore and aft directions by a fixed drag strut
and laterally by a folding strut mechanically locked when in the DOWN position.
3. Nose Landing Gear

The nose landing gear consists of a leg with a built-in shock absorber strut, carrying twin wheels with
adequate shimmy damping and a folding strut mechanically locked when in the DOWN position.
4. Nose Wheel Steering

Steering is controlled by two hand wheels in the cockpit. For steering angle controlled by the hand
wheels, refer to AMM 32-51-00.
For steering angle limitation, refer to AMM 09-10-00.

A steering disconnection box is installed on the nose landing gear to allow steering deactivation for
towing purposes.
5. Landing Gear Servicing Points
A. General

Filling of the landing-gear shock absorbers is done through MIL-PRF-6164 standard valves.

Page 1
2-9-0 May 01/17
 @A321
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

Charging of the landing-gear shock absorbers is accomplished with nitrogen through MIL-
PRF-6164 standard valves.
B. Charging Pressure

For charging of the landing-gear shock absorbers, refer to AMM 12-14-32.

6. Braking
A. General

The four main wheels are equipped with carbon multidisc brakes.

The braking system is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated.

The braking system has four braking modes plus autobrake and anti-skid systems:
- Normal braking with anti-skid capability,
- Alternative braking with anti-skid capability,
- Alternative braking without anti-skid capability,
- Parking brake with full pressure application capability only.
B. In-Flight Wheel Braking

The main gear wheels are braked automatically before the wheels enter the wheel bay.

The nose gear wheels are stopped by the wheels contacting a rubbing strip (the brake band)
when the gear is in the retracted position.

Landing Gear Maintenance Pits
1. Description

The minimum maintenance pit envelopes for the landing-gear shock absorber removal are shown in
FIGURE 2-9-0-991-026-A and FIGURE 2-9-0-991-027-A.

All dimensions shown are minimum dimensions with zero clearances.

The dimensions for the pits have been determined as follows:

- 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 allows 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 FIGURE
2-9-0-991-026-A and FIGURE 2-9-0-991-027-A.

Engine and Nacelle

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200

1. Engine and Nacelle - CFM Engine
A. Engine

The engine is a dual-rotor, variable stator, high bypass ratio turbofan powerplant for subsonic
services. The principal modules of the engine are:
- low pressure compressor (fan stator and fan rotor)
- high pressure compressor
- turbine frame
- combustion chamber
- high pressure turbine
- low pressure turbine
- accessory drives (gear box).

The 9 stage high pressure compressor is driven by 1 stage high pressure turbine, and the
integrated front fan and booster is driven by 4 stage low pressure turbine. An annular combustor
converts fuel and compressor discharge air into energy to provide engine thrust part through
primary exhaust and to drive the turbines. The accessory drive system extracts energy from the
high pressure rotor to drive the engine accessories and the engine mounted aircraft accessories.
Reverse thrust for braking the aircraft after landing is supplied by an integrated system which
acts on the fan discharge airflow.
B. Nacelle

The cowls enclose the periphery of the engine so as to form the engine nacelle. Each engine is
housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached to the wing lower surface. The nacelle
consists of the demountable powerplant, the fan cowls and the thrust reverser cowls.

The nacelle installation is designed to provide cooling and ventilation air for engine accessories
mounted along the fan and core casing. The nacelle provides:
- protection for the engine and the accessories
- airflow around the engine during its operation
- lighting protection
- HIRF and EMI attenuation.
2. Engine and Nacelle - IAE Engine
A. Engine

The engine is a two spool, axial flow, high bypass ratio turbofan powerplant for subsonic service.
The main modules of the engine are:

Page 4
2-12-0 May 01/17
 @A321
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

- low pressure compressor (fan and booster) assembly

- LP compressor/intermediate case
- No. 4 bearing and combustion section
- high pressure compressor
- HP turbine section
- LP turbine section
- accessory drives (gear box).

The four stage Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) is driven by a five stage Low Pressure Turbine
(LPT) and the ten stage High Pressure Compressor (HPC) by a two stage High Pressure
Turbine (HPT). The HPT also drives a gearbox which, in turn drives the engines and aircraft
mounted accessories. The two shafts are supported by five main bearings.

The V2500 incorporates a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) which governs all
engine functions, including power management. Reverse thrust for braking the aircraft after
landing is supplied by an integrated system which acts on the fan discharge airflow.
B. Nacelle

The cowls enclose the periphery of the engine so as to form the engine nacelle. Each engine is
housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached below the wing.

The nacelle installation is designed to provide cooling and ventilation air for engine accessories
mounted along the fan and core casing. The nacelle provides:
- protection for the engine and the accessories
- airflow around the engine during its operation
- lighting protection
- HIRF and EMI attenuation.

2-13-0 Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment
1. Quick Leveling
There are three alternative procedures to level the aircraft:
- Quick leveling procedure with Air Data/Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU).
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the passenger compartment.
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the FWD cargo compartment.
2. Precise Leveling
For precise leveling, it is necessary to install sighting rods in the receptacles located under the
fuselage (points 11 and 12 for longitudinal leveling) and under the wings (points 2LH and 2RH for
lateral leveling) and use a sighting tube. With the aircraft on jacks, adjust the jacks until the
reference marks on the sighting rods are aligned in the sighting plane (aircraft level).
3. Symmetry and Alignment Check
Possible deformation of the aircraft is measured by photogrammetry.

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Jacking for Maintenance
1. Aircraft Jacking Points for Maintenance
A. General
(1) The A321 can be jacked:
- At not more than 69 000 kg (152 119 lb),
- Within the limits of the permissible wind speed when the aircraft is not in a closed
environment.
B. Primary Jacking Points
(1) The aircraft is provided with three primary jacking points:
- One located under the forward fuselage (FR8),
- Two located under the wings (one under each wing, located at the intersection of RIB9
and the datum of the rear spar).
(2) Three jack adapters are used as intermediary parts between the aircraft and the jacks:
- One male spherical jack adapter of 19 mm (0.75 in) radius, forming part of the aircraft
structure (FR8),
- Two wing jack pads (one attached to each wing at RIB9 with 2 bolts) for the location
of the jack adaptor.
Wing jack pads are ground equipment.
C. Auxiliary Jacking Points (Safety Stay)
(1) When the aircraft is on jacks, it is recommended that a safety stay be placed under the
fuselage, between FR73 and FR74, to prevent tail tipping caused by accidental
displacement of the center of gravity.
(2) The safety stay must not be used to lift the aircraft.
(3) A male spherical ball pad with a 19 mm (0.75 in) radius, forming part of the aircraft
structure, is provided for using the safety stay.
2. Jacks and Safety Stay
A. Jack Design
(1) The maximum permitted loads given in the table in FIGURE 2-14-0-991-038-A are the
maximum loads applicable on jack fittings.
(2) In the fully retracted position (jack stroke at minimum), the height of the jack is such that
the jack may be placed beneath the aircraft in the most adverse conditions, namely, tires
deflated and shock absorbers depressurized. In addition, there must be a clearance of
approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) between the aircraft jacking point and the jack upper end.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

(3) The lifting jack stroke enables the aircraft to be jacked up so that the fuselage longitudinal
datum line (aircraft center line) is parallel to the ground, with a clearance of 100 mm (3.94
in) between the main landing gear wheels and the ground. This enables the landing gear
extension/retraction tests to be performed.
3. Shoring Cradles

When it is necessary to support the aircraft in order to relieve the loads on the structure to do
modifications or major work, shoring cradles shall be placed under each wing and the fuselage as
necessary.

NOTE : The aircraft must not be lifted or supported by the wings or fuselage alone without
adequate support of the other.

Jacking of the Landing Gear
1. General

Landing gear jacking will be required to lift the landing gear wheels off the ground.

NOTE : You can lift the aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW).

NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give a 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance
between the ground and the tire.

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200

2. Main Gear Jacking

The main gears are normally jacked up by placing a jack directly under the ball pad.

The ball spherical radius is 19 mm (0.75 in).

It is also possible to jack the main gear using a cantilever jack.

The reactions at each of the jacking points are shown in the table, see FIGURE 2-14-0-991-061-A.

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200

Final Approach Speed
1. This section provides the final approach speed. It is defined as the indicated airspeed at threshold in
the landing configuration, at the certificated maximum flap setting and Maximum Landing Weight
(MLW), in standard atmospheric conditions. The approach speed is used to classify the aircraft into
an Aircraft Approach Category, a grouping of aircraft based on the indicated airspeed at threshold.
2. The final approach speed is 140 kt at a MLW of 75 500 kg (166 449 lb) and classifies the aircraft
into the Aircraft Approach Category C.

NOTE : This value is given for information only.

3. The final approach speed is 142 kt at a MLW of 77 800 kg (171 520 lb) and classifies the aircraft
into the Aircraft Approach Category D.

GROUND MANEUVERING

4-1-0 General Information

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

General Information
1. This section provides aircraft turning capability and maneuvering characteristics.

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 a guideline for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.

In 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 a high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should
be coordinated with the airlines in question prior to layout planning.

4-7-0 Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections
1. The ground maneuvers were performed using asymmetric thrust and differential braking only to
initiate the turn.
TODA: Take-Off Distance Available
ASDA: Acceleration-Stop Distance Available
2. 90 Turn on Runway Entry
This section gives the minimum line-up distance correction for a 90 turn on runway entry.
This maneuver consists in a 90 turn at minimum turn radius. It starts with the edge of the MLG at
a distance of 3 m (10 ft) from the taxiway edge, and finishes with the aircraft aligned on the
centerline of the runway, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-020-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 3 m (10 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.
3. 180 Turn on Runway Turn Pad
This section gives the minimum line-up distance correction for a 180 turn on the runway turn pad.
This maneuver consists in a 180 turn at minimum turn radius on a runway turn pad with standard
ICAO geometry.
It starts with the edge of the MLG at a distance of 3 m (10 ft) from the pavement edge, and it
finishes with the aircraft aligned on the centerline of the runway, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-021-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 3 m (10 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.
4. 180 Turn on Runway Width
This section gives the minimum line-up distance correction for a 180 turn on the runway width.
For this maneuver, the pavement width is considered to be the runway width, which is a frozen
parameter (30 m (100 ft), 45 m (150 ft) and 60 m (200 ft)).
As per the standard operating procedures for the 180 turn on runway (described in the Flight
Crew Operating Manual), the aircraft is initially angled with respect to the runway centerline when
starting the 180 turn, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-022-A.
The value of this angle depends on the aircraft type and is mentioned in the FCOM.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 3 m (10 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.

5-6-0 Ground Pneumatic Power Requirements

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Ground Pneumatic Power Requirements
1. General
This section describes the required performance for the ground equipment to maintain the cabin
temperature at 27 C (80.6 F) for the cooling or 21 C (69.8 F) for heating cases after boarding
(Section 5.7 - steady state), and provides the time needed to cool down or heat up the aircraft cabin
to the required temperature (Section 5.6 - dynamic cases with aircraft empty).
ABBREVIATION DEFINITION
A/C Aircraft
AHM Aircraft Handling Manual
AMM Aircraft Maintenance Manual
GC Ground Connection
GSE Ground Service Equipment
IFE In-Flight Entertainment
OAT Outside Air Temperature
PCA Pre-Conditioned Air

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 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.

NOTE : The maximum air flow is driven by pressure limitation at the ground connection.
B. 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) (see FIGURE
5-6-0-991-001-A)
- Cooling (pull down) the cabin, initially at OAT, down to 27 C (80.6 F) (see FIGURE
5-6-0-991-002-A).

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Preconditioned Airflow Requirements
1. This section provides the preconditioned airflow rate and temperature needed to maintain the cabin
temperature at 27 C (80.6 F) for the cooling or 21 C (69.8 F) for the heating cases.

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 (cooling) 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).

5-8-0 Ground Towing Requirements

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Ground Towing Requirements
1. This section provides information on aircraft towing.
This aircraft is designed with means for conventional or towbarless towing. Information/procedures
can be found for both in AMM 09.
Status on towbarless towing equipment qualification can be found in ISI 09.11.00001.

NOTE : The NLG steering deactivation pin has the same design for all Airbus programs.

One towbar fitting is installed at the front of the leg.

The main landing gears have attachment points for towing or debogging (for details, refer ARM 07).

This section shows the chart to determine the drawbar pull and tow tractor mass requirements as a
function of the following physical characteristics:
- Aircraft weight,
- Number of engines at idle,
- Slope.
The chart is based on the engine type with the highest idle thrust level.
2. Towbar design guidelines
The aircraft towbar shall comply with the following standards:
- ISO 8267-1, Aircraft - Towbar Attachment Fitting - Interface Requirements - Part 1: Main Line
Aircraft,
- SAE AS 1614, Main Line Aircraft Towbar Attach Fitting Interface,
- SAE ARP 1915, Aircraft Towbar,
- ISO 9667, Aircraft Ground Support Equipment - Towbar - Connection to Aircraft and Tractor,
- EN 12312-7, Aircraft Ground Support Equipment - Specific Requirements - Part 7: Aircraft
Movement Equipment,
- IATA Airport Handling Manual AHM 958, Functional Specification for an Aircraft Towbar.

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 9 425 daN (21 188 lbf),
- A torsion pin calibrated at 826 m.daN (6 092 lbf.ft).

The towing head is designed according to ISO 8267-1, cat. I.

EXAMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE MASS REQUIREMENT TO TOW A A321 AT 80 000 kg, AT 1.5% SLOPE,
1 ENGINE AT IDLE AND FOR WET TARMAC CONDITIONS:
ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH, CHOOSE THE RELEVANT AIRCRAFT WEIGHT (80 000 kg),
FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUIRED SLOPE PERCENTAGE (1.5%),
FROM THE POINT OBTAINED DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE UNTIL No. OF ENGINES AT IDLE = 2,
FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUESTED No. OF ENGINES (1),
FROM THIS POINT DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE TO THE DRAWBAR PULL AXIS,
THE YCOORDINATE OBTAINED IS THE NECESSARY DRAWBAR PULL FOR THE TRACTOR (6 500 kg),
SEARCH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE "WET CONCRETE" LINE.
THE OBTAINED XCOORDINATE IS THE TOTAL TRACTION WHEEL LOAD (11 470 kg).

NOTE:
USE A TRACTOR WITH A LIMITED DRAWBAR PULL TO PREVENT LOADS ABOVE THE TOWBAR SHEARPIN

Engine Exhaust Velocities and Temperatures

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200

1. General
This section provides the estimated engine exhaust efflux velocities and temperatures contours for
Ground Idle, Breakaway and Maximum Take-Off (MTO) conditions.

**ON A/C A321neo

2. General
This section provides the estimated engine exhaust velocity and temperature contours for MTO,
Breakaway 12% MTO, Breakaway 24% MTO and Ground Idle conditions for the CFM LEAP-1A and
PW 1100G engines.

The MTO data are presented at the maximum thrust rating. The Breakaway data are presented at a
rating that corresponds to the minimum thrust level necessary to start the movement of the A/C
from a static position at its maximum ramp weight. Breakaway thrust corresponds to 12% MTO if
applied on both engines and 24% MTO when applied on a single engine (Idle thrust on the other
engine).

The Idle data, provided by the engine manufacturer, are calculated for operational conditions ISA
+15K (+15C), Sea Level, Static and no headwind. In the charts, the longitudinal distances are
measured from the inboard engine core-nozzle exit section. The lateral distances are measured from
the aircraft fuselage centerline.

The effects of on-wing installation are not taken into account. The effects of ground proximity are
not taken into account for PW 1100G engines, but they are taken into account for the CFM
LEAP-1A engines.

The velocity contours are presented at 50 ft/s (15 m/s), 100 ft/s (30 m/s) and 150 ft/s (46 m/s).
The temperature contours are shown at 313K (+40C), 323K (+50C) and 333K (+60C). The
velocity and temperature contours do not take into account possible variations affecting performance,
such as ambient temperature, field elevation or failure cases leading to an abnormal bleed
configuration. To evaluate the impact of these specific variables on the exhaust contours, a specific
study of the airport where the aircraft is intended to operate should be carried out.

PAVEMENT DATA

7-1-0 General Information

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

General Information
1. 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 Main Landing Gear (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.

Landing Gear Footprint:

Section 07-02-00 presents basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, MRW and tire sizes
and pressures.

Maximum Pavement Loads:

Section 07-03-00 shows maximum vertical and horizontal pavement loads for certain critical
conditions at the tire-ground interfaces.

Landing Gear Loading on Pavement:

Section 07-04-00 contains charts to find these loads throughout the stability limits of the aircraft at
rest on the pavement.
These MLG loads are used as the point of entry to the pavement design charts which follow,
interpolating load values where necessary.

Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method:

Section 07-05-00 uses procedures in Instruction Report No. S-77-1 Procedures for Development of
CBR Design Curves, dated June 1977 and as modified according to the methods described in ICAO
Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3. Pavements, 2nd Edition, 1983, Section 1.1 (The ACN-PCN
Method), and utilizing the alpha factors approved by ICAO in October 2007.
The report was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Soils
and Pavement Laboratory, Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The line showing 10 000 coverages is used to calculate the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion Method:

Page 1
7-1-0 May 01/17
 @A321
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

The Load Classification Number (LCN) curves are no longer provided in section 07-06-00 since the
LCN system for reporting pavement strength is obsolete, having been replaced by the ICAO
recommended ACN/PCN system in 1983.
For questions regarding the LCN system, contact Airbus.

Rigid Pavement Requirements - PCA (Portland Cement Association) Design Method:

Section 07-07-00 gives the rigid pavement design curves that have been prepared with the use of the
Westergaard Equation.
This is in general accordance with the procedures outlined in the Portland Cement Association
publications, Design of Concrete Airport Pavement, 1973 and Computer Program for Airport
Pavement Design (Program PDILB), 1967 both by Robert G. Packard.

Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion:

The Load Classification Number (LCN) curves are no longer provided in section 07-08-00 since the
LCN system for reporting pavement strength is obsolete, having been replaced by the ICAO
recommended ACN/PCN system in 1983.
For questions regarding the LCN system, contact Airbus.

ACN/PCN Reporting System:

Section 07-09-00 provides ACN data prepared according to the ACN/PCN system as referenced in
ICAO Annex 14, Aerodromes, Volume 1 Aerodrome Design and Operations Fourth Edition, July
2004, incorporating Amendments 1 to 6.
The ACN/PCN system provides a standardized international aircraft/pavement rating system
replacing the various S, T, TT, LCN, AUW, ISWL, etc., rating systems used throughout the world.
ACN is the Aircraft Classification Number and PCN is the corresponding Pavement Classification
Number.
An aircraft having an ACN less than or equal to the PCN can operate without restriction on the
pavement.
Numerically the ACN is two times the derived single wheel load expressed in thousands of kilograms.
The derived single wheel load is defined as the load on a single tire inflated to 1.25 MPa (181 psi)
that would have the same pavement requirements as the aircraft.
Computationally the ACN/PCN system uses PCA program PDILB for rigid pavements and S-77-1 for
flexible pavements to calculate ACN values.

The Airport Authority must decide on the method of pavement analysis and the results of their
evaluation shown as follows:
PCN
PAVEMENT SUBGRADE EVALUATION
TIRE PRESSURE CATEGORY
TYPE CATEGORY METHOD
R -- Rigid A -- High W -- No pressure limit T -- Technical
X -- High pressure limited to 1.75
F -- Flexible B -- Medium U -- Using Aircraft

PAVEMENT SUBGRADE EVALUATION
TIRE PRESSURE CATEGORY
TYPE CATEGORY METHOD
Y -- Medium pressure limited to 1.25
C -- Low MPa (181 psi)
Z -- Low pressure limited to 0.5 MPa
D -- Ultra Low (73 psi)

For flexible pavements, the four subgrade categories (CBR) are:

- A. High Strength CBR 15
- B. Medium Strength CBR 10
- C. Low Strength CBR 6
- D. Ultra Low Strength CBR 3

For rigid pavements, the four subgrade categories (k) are:

- A. High Strength k = 150 MN/m3 (550 pci)
- B. Medium Strength k = 80 MN/m3 (300 pci)
- C. Low Strength k = 40 MN/m3 (150 pci)
- D. Ultra Low Strength k = 20 MN/m3 (75 pci)

Landing Gear Loading on Pavement
1. Landing Gear Loading on Pavement

This section provides data about the landing gear loading on pavement.
The MLG loading on pavement graphs are given for the weight variants that produce (at the MRW
and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for each type of aircraft.

Example, see FIGURE 7-4-0-991-014-A, calculation of the total weight on the MLG for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- The aircraft gross weight is 60 000 kg (132 275 lb),
- A percentage of weight on the MLG of 95.7% (percentage of weight on the MLG at MRW and
maximum aft CG).
The total weight on the MLG group is 57 410 kg (126 575 lb).

NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN/LCN calculation.

7-5-0 Flexible Pavement Requirements - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Design Method

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method
1. This section provides data about the flexible pavement requirements.
The flexible pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for
each type of aircraft.
They are calculated with the US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method.
To find a flexible pavement thickness, you must know the Subgrade Strength (CBR), the annual
departure level and the weight on one MLG.
The line that shows 10 000 coverages is used to calculate the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).
The procedure that follows is used to develop flexible pavement design curves:
- With the scale for pavement thickness at the bottom and the scale for CBR at the top, a random
line is made to show 10 000 coverages,
- A plot is then made of the incremental values of the weight on the MLG,
- Annual departure lines are made based on the load lines of the weight on the MLG that is shown
on the graph.

Example, see FIGURE 7-5-0-991-014-A, calculation of the thickness of the flexible pavement for
MLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- A CBR value of 10,
- An annual departure level of 25 000,
- The load on one MLG of 30 000 kg (66 150 lb).
The required flexible pavement thickness is 56.4 cm (22 in).

NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Rigid Pavement Requirements - Portland Cement Association Design Method
1. This section provides data about the rigid pavement requirements for the PCA (Portland Cement
Association) design method.
The rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for
each A/C type.
They are calculated with the PCA design method.
To find a rigid pavement thickness, you must know the Subgrade Modulus (k), the permitted working
stress and the weight on one MLG.
The procedure that follows is used to develop rigid pavement design curves:
- With the scale for pavement thickness on the left and the scale for permitted working stress on
the right, a random load line is made. This represents the MLG maximum weight to be shown,
- A plot is then made of all values of the subgrade modulus (k values),
- More load lines for the incremental values of the weight on the MLG are made based on the
curve for k = 150 MN/m3, which is already shown on the graph.

Example, see FIGURE 7-7-0-991-016-A, calculation of the thickness of the rigid pavement for the
MLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- A k value of 80 MN/m3 (300 lbf/in3),
- A permitted working stress of 31.64 kg/cm2 (450 lb/in2),
- The load on one MLG is 30 000 kg (66 150 lb).
The required rigid pavement thickness is 249 mm (10 in).

Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
1. The Load Classification Number (LCN) curves are no longer provided in section 07-08-00 since the
LCN system for reporting pavement strength is obsolete, having been replaced by the ICAO
recommended ACN/PCN system in 1983.
For questions regarding the LCN system, contact Airbus.

7-9-0 ACN/PCN Reporting System - Flexible and Rigid Pavements

**ON A/C A321-100 A321-200 A321neo

Aircraft Classification Number - Flexible and Rigid Pavements
1. This section provides data about the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) for an aircraft gross
weight in relation to a subgrade strength value for flexible and rigid pavement.
The flexible and rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight
variants producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG
load for each type of aircraft.
To find the ACN of an aircraft on flexible and rigid pavement, you must know the aircraft gross
weight and the subgrade strength.

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 7-9-0-991-020-A (sheet 1), calculation of the ACN for flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 65 000 kg (143 300 lb),
- A low subgrade strength (code C).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 38.

Example, see FIGURE 7-9-0-991-020-A (sheet 2), calculation of the ACN for rigid pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 78 400 kg (172 850 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 65 000 kg (143 300 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for rigid pavement is 40.
2. Aircraft Classification Number - ACN table
The tables in FIGURE 7-9-0-991-019-A, FIGURE 7-9-0-991-022-A and FIGURE 7-9-0-991-025-A
provide ACN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the Aerodrome Design
Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1983 for all the operational weight variants of the aircraft.
As an approximation, use a linear interpolation in order to get the ACN at the required operating
weight using the following equation:
- ACN = ACN min + (ACN max - ACN min) x (Operating weight - 47 000 kg)/(MRW - 47 000
kg)
As an approximation, also use a linear interpolation in order to get the aircraft weight at the
pavement PCN using the following equation:
- Operating weight = 47 000 kg + (MRW - 47 000 kg) x (PCN - ACN min)/(ACN max - ACN
min)
With ACN max: ACN calculated at the MRW in the table and with ACN min: ACN calculated at 47
000 kg.
