Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections

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

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 4-7-0-991-023-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.

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 4-7-0-991-024-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.

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 4-7-0-991-025-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.

A. The grounding (earthing) stud on each landing gear leg is designed for use with a clip-on

connector (such as Appleton TGR).

B. The grounding (earthing) studs are used to connect the aircraft to an approved ground (earth)

connection on the ramp or in the hangar for:

Refuel/defuel operations,

Maintenance operations,

Bad weather conditions.

NOTE : In all other conditions, the electrostatic discharge through the tire is sufficient.

If the aircraft is on jacks for retraction and extension checks or for the

removal/installation of the landing gear, the grounding (earthing) alternative points (if

installed) are:

In the hole on the avionics-compartment lateral right door-frame (on FR14),

On the engine nacelles,

Adjacent to the high-pressure connector,

On the wing upper surfaces.
