Outside Air Temperature

A. Air data (discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure) are given at the HPGC.

B. For a given OAT the following charts are used to determine an acceptable combination for air

discharge temperature, absolute discharge pressure and mass flow rate.

C. This section addresses requirements for the ASU only, and is not representative of the start

performance of the aircraft using the APU or engine cross bleed procedure.

D. To protect the A/C, the charts feature, if necessary:

The maximum discharge pressure at the HPGC

Ground Pneumatic Power Requirements

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).

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.

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).

Preconditioned Airflow Requirements

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

Preconditioned Airflow Requirements

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).

Ground Towing Requirements

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

Ground Towing Requirements

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.

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.
