The basic A/C structure is made of aluminum alloys with stainless steel and titanium alloys in specific areas.
Composite materials are used for primary and secondary structure.
Composite materials represent about 15% of the A/C structural weight.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is mainly used for primary structures, whilst Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastic (AFRP) and Glass
Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) are only used for secondary structures.

Wings and fuselage have different types of drains. Holes and gaps are meant to be used for a natural drainage of the fluid collection points.
Drain holes are drilled before application of pretreatments. Remote drains are used when natural drainage is not possible.
The protection of the structure against corrosion is achieved by means of appropriate surface pretreatment of the metallic parts.
Aluminum alloys: the primary protection is generally a pure aluminum cladding. The main pretreatment used is the unsealed chromic acid anodizing.
Titanium alloys: surface interfaying with aluminum alloy parts are zinc sprayed. The other titanium alloy surfaces are left bare. Titanium fasteners are either sulphuric acid anodized or aluminum coated.
Composite materials are left bare.

The Main structure differences between the A319/A320/A321 and the
A318 are due to the reduced length of the fuselage. There are several general structure changes, laser beam welded structures and the vertical stabilizer fin tip extension.
The main general structure changes are:
- on section 17, due to reduced length of the fuselage, the longitudinal beams, the seat rails and the Z-profiles are replaced by new ones. The crossbeams at FRame 52, FR53 and FR54 are removed. New crossbeams are installed between FR55 to FR64,
- due to its location in the non-cylindrical part of the fuselage, a new cargo sill box replaces the A319/A320/A321 one's, in section 17,
- on section 15, the A319/A320/A321 skin panels have been modified.
For weight reduction the A318 skin panels are thinner than the
A319/A320/A321 one's,
- the aft part of the belly fairing is modified due to an overlap with non-cylindrical part of the fuselage. To avoid interference with cargo compartment door, the A318 belly fairing is two panels shorter than the A319/A320/A321 one's.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (3)
Electro Static Discharge (ESD) is generated by rubbing materials with each other. By moving over plastic materials (synthetic fibers), wearing synthetic fiber clothing, electrical charges build up on the body. Thus voltages of 12000 to 35000 volts can develop on a person. Touching connector pins of computer units, a discharge path is formed through wiring and components. Integrated Circuit (IC) chips can be partly damaged or totally destroyed. Rubbing materials from the "tribo-electris" series against each other and then separating them from each other causes a build-up of electrostatic charges. If the materials are far apart in the series, there will be a higher electric charge.

COMPUTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (3)
Before starting a computer removal/installation procedure, the A/C has to be set-up for maintenance. The first task is to make sure that the ground service network is energized and the access door is open and accessible.
Then make sure that the C/Bs listed in the removal of the computer procedure of Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) is open. The first action is to loosen the nut and then to lower the nut. When the nut is lowered, pull the computer on its rack to disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the computer from its rack. Before starting a computer installation procedure, clean and do a visual inspection of the component interface and of the adjacent area. First remove the blanking caps from the electrical connectors and make sure that the electrical connectors are clean and in the correct condition. Then install the computer on its rack and push it on its rack to connect the electrical connectors. Now you can engage the nuts on the studs and tighten them.
The installation is finished. You can close the C/B. The last actions of the computer installation are to do a test through the MCDU and to close the access. Make sure that the work area is clean and clear of tools and other items, close the access door and remove the access platform.

This film presents the A321 outside safety inspection and cockpit
Check-List (CL) to be performed before powering the A/C for maintenance purposes. Various main stations have been defined. The inspection starts with the nose station. First verify that the NLG chocks are in place. Then, observe that the NLG doors are closed. Make sure that the NLG safety pin is installed. The NLG steering pin must be as required. Finally, verify that the A/C is electrically grounded. The second step consists of inspecting the right MLG. Start by checking that the
MLG door is closed. Then, verify that the MLG safety sleeve is installed.
Lastly, observe that the MLG chocks are in place. Let us continue with the right engine station, the first thing to do is to make sure that the engine right side access doors are secured. The same must be done for the left side. Check that the engine fan cowls and thrust reverser cowls are secured. The right wing is the 4 th
station. Observe the position of the slats and then, the flaps. The spoilers must be retracted. Then move to the left wing station. Here again observe the position of the flaps and then, the slats. Although make sure that the spoilers are retracted. The next step is the left engine station. Check that the engine right side access doors are secured. Then pass around the engine to verify that the left side access doors are secured. Make sure that the engine fan cowls and thrust reverser cowls are secured. Proceed with the left MLG station. The Ram Air
Turbine (RAT) safety device must be in the stowed position. Continue by checking that the MLG door is closed and that the MLG safety sleeve is installed. Before moving on, observe that the MLG chocks are in place.
In the A/C area station you have to make sure that the A/C area is clean and clear of tools and any other items. Now you have to check the 9 th station: the external power receptacle. Verify that the external power is connected and available. Finally enter the cockpit for the last station.
Start by checking the rear and the overhead circuit breaker, then have a look to the emergency equipment. This consists in: verifying that the escape ropes are present, observing that the fire extinguisher is in position, making sure that the cockpit is equipped with smoke hoods, checking that the fire protective gloves are present, ensuring the crash axe is in position, checking that the cockpit is equipped with life vest, verifying that the oxygen masks are present, observing that the flash lights are in position. You must then make sure that the wipers are off. BATtery 1 and 2 P/BSW must be off and their voltage should be about 25 volts.
Proceed by setting the BAT1 P/BSW to AUTO. Then, set the BAT2
P/BSW to AUTO, check that the right hand dome light is on. Verify that the speed brake handle is in the RETract disarm position. If the speed brake handle disagrees with the surface position maintenance action is due. On the center pedestal make sure that the thrust levers are in the idle position. Engine master switches 1 and 2 must be in the OFF position and the engine ignition mode selector in the NORMal position. Observe that the flap handle is set according to surface position. If engine reverse cowls have to be opened for maintenance action, the slats must to be retracted. Still on the center pedestal, check that the radar is off, also verify that the ATC transponder is off. Make sure that the gravity gear extension crank handle is in the reset stowed position. On the instrument panel observe that the three green triangles on the LanDinG GEAR panel are on. The control safety check list should now have been accomplished.
On the overhead panel set the EXTernal PoWeR P/BSW to ON, also set the GENerator 1 P/BSW to on and the GEN2 P/SW to ON. Scan and check that no amber lights are on except GEN1 and 2 FAULT light on panel 44VU. The GALY & CAB P/BSW should be as required. Finally verify that there is no light on the VENTilation panel. The A/C is now ready for maintenance.
