AIRCRAFT MATERIALS
METALLIC MATERIALS
The basic A/C structure is made of aluminum alloys with stainless
steel and titanium alloys in specific areas.
COMPOSITE MATERIALS
U2C05411 - U0HT1M0 - UM01P1000000001
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.

STRUCTURE PROTECTION
AIRCRAFT DRAINAGE
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.
SURFACE PRETREATMENT
U2C05411 - U0HT1M0 - UM01P1000000001
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.

A318 STRUCTURE DIFFERENCES
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.
GENERAL STRUCTURE CHANGES
U2C05411 - U0HT1M0 - UM01P1000000001
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 PROBLEMS
U2C05411 - U0HT1M0 - UM01D3000000001
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.

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.

PRESENTATION
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 4th 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 9th
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.
NOTE: This film shows an A321 but the procedure is also valid for
A318, A319 and A320 aircrafts.
