General
The A350 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING (AC)
manual is issued for the A350-900 series aircraft to provide necessary data to airport operators and
airlines for airport facilities planning.
The data given in this preliminary issue of the A350 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS AIRPORT
AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING (AC) can be subject to change pending completion of the design
and flight test phase. It is given for guidance only and does not constitute a contractual commitment.
This non-customized document conforms to NAS 3601 specification.
The A350 XWB is a new family of mid-size medium to long range new technology aircraft that will
deliver superior fuel efficiency, passenger comfort, environmental characteristics and economics, with
a global market coverage.
The aircraft is designed to offer multiple payload capabilities with a consistant range ability across
the family.
The A350 XWB is equipped with two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.
This engine will incorporate the most advanced technologies to provide the best aircraft performance,
maintainability, lowest fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Reflecting market needs, the A350 XWB offers a high level of cargo hold capability and flexibility.
Two wide cargo doors and a Cargo Loading System (CLS) compatible with most lower deck cargo
containers and pallet standards, allowing interlining operations, ease the loading.
The A350 XWB provides easy and cost effective ground handling minimizing aircraft turn round time.
The innovative A350 XWB design increases planning flexibility to perform maintenance during the
aircraft scheduled downtime.

Engine and Nacelle
**ON A/C A350-900
Engine and Nacelle
1.
Power Plant
The A350--900 has two main power plants, one installed under each wing on a pylon.
Each power plant can be lowered for removal from its pylon.
The power plant comprises the:
- Nacelle,
- Engine.
2.
Nacelle
The nacelle comprises the following assemblies:
- Air intake,
- Fan cowls,
- Thrust reverser,
- Exhaust system.
3.
A.
Fan Cowl
A power door opening system is installed to assist in opening the cowls.
The cowls have access doors for fan case-mounted components.
B.
Thrust Reverser
The engine thrust reverser consists primarily of a inner fixed structure and an outer translating
sleeve.
The fan exhaust stream is reversed by the cascades and blocker doors, which form part of the
translating sleeve actuated by an electrical Thrust Reverser Actuation System (TRAS).
A power door opening system is used to assist thrust reverser cowl opening.
The thrust reverser latching system is designed so that the remote latches close only when the
hooks are engaged.
Means are provided to latch and secure a thrust reverser in the stowed position.
Means are provided to permit actuation of the thrust reversers without engine operation, for
maintenance purposes, either using the TRAS powered by the aircraft or by manual drive with
external Ground Support Equipment (GSE).
C.
Exhaust System
The exhaust system consists of a primary nozzle and a center body plug.
The exhaust system is designed to optimize aerodynamics and acoustic performance.
Engine
A.
Ignition
Each engine is equipped with a dual ignition system controlled by the FADEC.
Each engine is equipped with an automatic flame-out protection.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
B.
Cooling System
A nacelle cooling and ventilating system automatically provides the airflow required for cooling
engine and nacelle accessories and associated structure.
C.
Power Control
Forward thrust of each engine is controlled by a throttle control lever mounted on the center
pedestal in the cockpit.
Thrust reverser control is by means of a separate lever for each engine.
D.
Engine Master Control
Engine fuel shutoff is controlled by switches installed on the center pedestal.
E.
Emergency Shutdown
Actuation of the fire controls closes the associated LP valves.
F.
Indicating
Indications for each engine are displayed on the Control and Display System (CDS).
G.
Oil
The propulsion system has an independent integral oil system that is able to provide the
appropriate quantity of oil, at the temperature necessary for continuous propulsion system
operation, for all achievable conditions within the propulsion system operating envelope.
Means are provided for gravity filling.
It is possible to visually check and replenish the engine oil level without opening the fan cowl
door.
Magnetic chip detectors are installed in the lubrication system.
H.
Starting
The engine is equipped with a pneumatic air turbine starter.
The starter can be supplied with air either from the APU, or the other engine, or an Air Start
Unit (AS).
Standard types of GSE can be used.

Ground Towing Requirements
**ON A/C A350-900
Ground Towing Requirements
1.
This section provides information on aircraft towing.
The A350 is designed with means for conventional or towbarless towing.
It is possible to tow or push the aircraft, at maximum ramp weight with engines at zero or up to idle
thrust, using a towbar attached to the NLG.
One tow bar fitting is installed at the front of the leg (optional towing fitting for towing from the
rear of the NLG available).
The first part of this section shows the chart to determine the draw bar pull and tow tractor mass
requirements as function of the following physical characteristics:
- Aircraft weight,
- Slope,
- Number of engines at idle.
2.
Towbar design guidelines
The A350 towbar requirements are identical to the towbar requirements for the long range aircraft.
- SAE AS 1614, ”Main Line Aircraft Towbar Attach Fitting Interface”,
- SAE ARP1915, ”Aircraft Towbar”,
- ISO 8267-1, ”Aircraft - Towbar Attachment Fitting - Interface Requirements - Part 1: Main Line
Aircraft”,
- ISO 9667, ”Aircraft Ground Support Equipment - Towbars”,
- 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 NLG against jerks and with towing shear pins :
- A traction shear pin calibrated at 28 620 daN (64 340 lbf),
- A torsion pin calibrated at 3 130 m.daN (27 7028 lbf.in).
The towing head is designed according to SAE/AS 1614 (Aircraft Weight Category III)..
There is a variety of shear pin arrangements and the values of the shear pins depend on them.

General Information
**ON A/C A350-900
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 MLG.
All curves on the charts represent data at a constant specified tire pressure with:
- The aircraft loaded to the maximum ramp weight,
- 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 7-2-0 , presents basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, maximum ramp
weights and tire sizes and pressures.
Maximum Pavement Loads.
Section 7-3-0, shows maximum vertical and horizontal pavement loads for certain critical conditions
at the tire-ground interfaces.
Landing Gear Loading on Pavement.
Section 7-4-0 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 7-5-0 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 Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).
Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion Method.
7-1-0
Page 1
Dec 01/12
@A350-900 PRELIMINARY DATA
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The flexible pavement charts in Section 7-6-0 show LCN against Equivalent Single Wheel Load
(ESWL), and ESWL against pavement thickness.
All LCN curves shown in ’Flexible Pavement Requirements’ were developed from a computer program
based on data in International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) document 7920-AN/865/2,
Aerodrome manual, Part 2, ”Aerodrome Physical Characteristics”, Second Edition, 1965.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - PCA (Portland Cement Association) Design Method.
Section 7-7-0 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.
Section 7-8-0 gives the rigid pavement requirements.
All LCN curves shown in ’Rigid Pavement Requirements - Radius of Relative Stiffness (other values
of E and µ) - were developed from a computer program based on data in International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) document 7920-AN/865/2, Aerodrome manual, Part 2, ”Aerodrome Physical
Characteristics”, Second Edition, 1965.
The rigid pavement charts in Section 7-8-0 show LCN against ESWL, and ESWL against radius of
relative stiffness.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion - Radius of Relative Stiffness.
Section 7-8-1 allow to find the radius of relative stiffness based on other values of E and µ.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion - Radius of Relative Stiffness (other values of E and
µ).
The rigid pavement charts show LCN in Section 7-8-2 against ESWL and ESWL against radius of
relative stiffness affected by the other values of E and µ.
ACN/PCN Reporting System.
Section 7-9 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.
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 equal to or less than 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.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
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:

Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers
1.
This section gives data about the flexible pavement requirements.
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 7-5-0-991-001-A, calculation of the thickness of the flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MTOW of268000 kg (590839 lb),
- A CBR value of 10,
- An annual departure level of 3 000,
- The load on one MLG of110000 kg (242509 lb).
The required flexible pavement thickness is593 mm (23 in.).

**ON A/C A350-900
Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
1.
This section gives data about the flexible pavement requirements for Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion.
They are calculated with the LCN conversion method.
To find the aircraft weight that a flexible pavement can support, you must know the LCN of the
pavement and the thickness.
Example, see FIGURE 7-6-0-991-001-A, calculation of the thickness of the flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MTOW of268000 kg (590839 lb)
- The flexible pavement thickness is1397 mm (55 in.)with a related LCN of 154.
The weight on one MLG is110000 kg (242509 lb).
The following table provides LCN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the
”Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1977”.
In order to use the system accurately you should know the total pavement thickness for flexible
pavement.
However, the pavement thickness for a particular runway are not frequently published in the standard
airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.).
Therefore it is common practice to use a standard thickness (20 inches) when determining the LCN
and the ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between MRW and the empty weight of the aircraft is required
or if the real thickness is known, refer to charts in FIGURE 7-6-0-991-001-A.

Rigid Pavement Requirements - Portland Cement Association Design Method
1.
This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the PCA (Portland Cement
Association) design method.
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 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 weight on the MLG are made based on the curve for
k= 80MN/m3 already shown on the graph.
Example, see FIGURE 7-7-0-991-001-A, calculation of the thickness of the flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MTOW of268000 kg (590839 lb),
- A k value of 80 MN/m3 (300 lbf/in3),
- A permitted working stress of 35.15 kg/cm2 (500 lb/in2),
- The load on one MLG of110000 kg (242509 lb).
The required rigid pavement thickness is290 mm (11 in.).

Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
1.
This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion (radius of relative stiffness).
- For the radius of relative stiffness, see Section 7--8--1,
- For the radius of relative stiffness (other values of E and µ), see Section 7--8--2.
Example, see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-001-A, calculation of the aircraft weight with the thickness of the
rigid pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MTOW of268000 kg (590839 lb),
- The radius of relative stiffness is shown at1143 mm (45 in.)with a related LCN of 119.
The weight on one MLG is110000 kg (242509 lb).
The following table provides LCN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the
”Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1977”.
In order to use the system accurately you should know the total pavement radius of relative stiffness
(L-value) for rigid pavement.
However, the pavement radius of relative stiffness for a particular runway are not frequently published
in the standard airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.).
Therefore it is common practice to use a standard radius of relative stiffness (30 inches) when
determining the LCN and the ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between maximum ramp weight and the empty weight of the
aircraft is required or if the real thickness is known, refer to charts FIGURE 7-8-0-991-001-A.

Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of E and µ)
1.
The table of Section 7--8--1 radius of relative stiffness, presents L values based on young’s modulus
(E) of 4 000 000 psi and poisson’s ratio (µ) of 0.15.
To find L values based on other values of E and µ, see FIGURE 7-8-2-991-001-B.
For example, to find an L value based on an E of 3 000 000 psi, the ”E” factor of 0.931 is multiplied
by the L value found in the table of Section 7-8-1 radius of relative stiffness.
The effect of variations of µ on the L value is treated in a similar manner.

Aircraft Classification Number - Flexible Pavement
1.
This section gives data about the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) for flexible pavement for an
aircraft gross weight in relation with a subgrade strength value.
To find the ACN of an aircraft on flexible 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 7-9-0-991-001-A, calculation of the ACN for flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MTOW of268000 kg (590839 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of210000 kg (462971 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 51.

Aircraft Classification Number - ACN Table
The following table provides ACN data in tabular format similar to the one used by ICAO in the
”Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3, Pavements - Edition 1983”. If the ACN for an intermediate
weight between maximum ramp weight and the empty weight of the aircraft is required, refer to
chart FIGURE 7-9-0-991-001-A.
