1.0 Introduction
A fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air craft whose lift is generated not by wing motion
relative to the aircraft, but by forward motion through the air. Fixed-wing aircraft range from
small training and recreational aircraft to large wide-body aircraft and military cargo aircraft.
Many fixed-wing aircrafts have been designed and manufactured to perform different mission
specifications. An airliner is a large fixed-wing aircraft with the primary function of transporting
paying passengers. Such aircraft are usually operated by an airline which owns or leases the
aircraft. There are several types of airliners:
Wide-body • Twin-aisle aircraft used for long-haul flights between airline hubs and
aircraft major cities with many passengers
• Boeing 747, Airbus A380, Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, McDonnell
Douglas MD-11 and Ilyushin Il-96.
Narrow-body • Single aisle aircraft generally used for medium-distance flights with
aircraft fewer passengers than their wide-body counterparts
• Boeing 737, McDonnell Douglas DC-9 & MD-80/MD-90 series,
Airbus A320 family, Tupolev Tu-204, Tu-214, Fokker F70/F100
Regional airliner • Fewer than 100 passengers and may be powered by turbofans or
turboprops
• Used for short flights between small hubs, or for bringing passengers to
hub cities where they may board larger aircraft
• Embraer ERJ, Bombardier CRJ series, ATR 42/72 and Saab 340/2000
Commuter • Air taxis, with 19 or fewer passenger seats
aircraft • Lack such amenities as lavatories and galleys and typically do not carry
a flight attendant
• Fairchild Metro, Jetstream 31/41, IPTN CN-235, Beechcraft 1900, and
Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante
Narrow-body aircraft is an airliner with a cabin diameter typically of 3 to 4 metres and airline
seat arranged 2 to 6 abreast along a single aisle. Narrow-body aircraft seating less than 100
passengers are commonly known as regional airliners. For comparison, typical wide-body
aircraft can accommodate between 200 and 600 passengers, while the largest narrow-body
aircraft currently in widespread service the Boeing 757-300 carries a maximum of about 250.
Fig 1.1 Swiss International Air Lines Airbus A320-200 (HB-IJQ) landing at London Heathrow Airport
Airbus A320 is from the Airbus A320 family of short to medium-range commercial passenger
airliners and is Airbus first entry into the narrow-body market. A320 was first delivered in 1988
and pioneered the use of digital fly-by wire control systems in a commercial airliner. The A320-
200 features wingtip fences and increased fuel capacity over the A320-100 for increased range.
The A320-200 can carry 150 passengers in a two-class configuration and 180 passengers in
a single-class configuration. Typical range with 150 passengers for A320-200 is 2900
nautical miles or 5400 kilometres.
The design of A320-200 follows the airworthiness standards of BCAR Section C and
Section D in British Civil Airworthiness Requirements issued by the Civil Aviation
Authority of Great Britain.

Function of ECS:
• Cope with widely differing temperature conditions
• Extract air moisture and provide air with optimum humidity
• Ensure air in the aircraft contains a sufficient concentration of oxygen
[B737-700]
Recirculation Fan
Reduces the air conditioning
system pack load and the engine
bleed air demand. Air from the
passenger cabin and electrical
equipment bay is drawn to the
forward cargo bay where it is
filtered and circulated to the mix
manifold.
Pressurisation System
Cabin pressurization is controlled during all phases of airplane operation by the cabin pressure
control system. The system uses bleed air supplied to and distributed by the air conditioning
system. Pressurisation and ventilation are controlled by modulating the outflow valve and the
onboard exhaust valve.
Outflow Valve
The outflow valve is the overboard exhaust exit for the majority of the air circulated through the
cabin. Cabin air is drawn through foot level grills, down around the aft cargo compartment where
it provides heating, and is discharged overboard through the outflow valve.
Chan 17
[A320-200]
[B737-700]
Galleys
The galley is the compartment where
food is cooked and prepared. It includes
not only facilities to serve and store
food and beverages, but also contain
cabin attendant seats, emergency
equipment storage, as well as anything
else flight attendants may need during
the flight.
Baffles
Also known as class dividers, it is used to separate
different class of passenger seats
Lavatory
Modern lavatories uses vacuum flush and mostly have safety
features including smoke detectors, waste receptacle portable fire
containment halon extinguishing bottles and oxygen-smothering
flapper lids fitted to the hand towel waste disposal receptacles.
[A320-200]
Potable water
Wastewater system
Wastewater from galleys and sinks in
lavatories drains overboard through 2 anti-ice
masts. The forward mast drains from the
forward cabin while the aft mast drains from
the aft cabin. Differential pressure discharges
the wastewater in flight and gravity does so
on the ground.
Chan 27
Toilet system
Differential pressure forces waste from the toilet
bowls into the waste storage tank. On ground, and
at altitudes >16000 feet, a vacuum generator
produces the necessary pressure differential. Clear
water from the potable water flushes the toilets. A
flush control unit, within each toilet, controls the
flush sequence. The waste tank has a usable
capacity of 170L.
The waste and water system in A320-200 is connected to the electrical supply system by:
Chan 28
[A320-200]
Cockpit plan
The cockpit can accommodate two
crewmembers, plus a third
occupant. The 2 pilot seats are
mounted on columns while the 3rd
occupant seat is a folding seat.
Pilot seats
A pilot seat can be adjusted
mechanically or electrically. Armrest
and headrest can also be adjusted to
provide comfort and to enhance
performance.
Cockpit windows
The cockpit has fixed and
sliding windows. Sliding
windows are used as
emergency exits for the pilot.
6. Flight information is provided by the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) comprising
of Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Navigation Display (ND) in front of each pilot.
7. System information is provided by the Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor (ECAM)
comprising of engine instrumentation and warnings on the upper screen, and aircraft systems
on the lower screen.
8. Features Integrated Stand-by Instrumentation System (ISIS) on one additional LCD screen.
Pedestal
It is located between the Captain and the First Officer.
Overhead panel
The panel is located above and in between the Captain and the First Officer.
Chan 36
Cockpit visibility
During flight, pilot must have good visibility from the cockpit. The pilot can view approximately
15 metres in front from the cockpit. The pilot have a visibility angle of 33 degrees above
horizontal and 20 degrees below horizontal. The pilot is also able to see the wingtip of his of the
airplane which is a desirable aspect.
Chan 37
[A320-200]
Airbus A320-200 has 3 continuously operating hydraulic systems: blue, green and yellow. Each
system has its own hydraulic reservoir. Normal system operating pressure is 3000 psi. Hydraulic
fluid cannot be transferred from 1 system to another.
System accumulators
An accumulator in each system helps to maintain a
constant pressure by covering transient demands
during normal operation.
Priority valves
Priority valves cut off hydraulic power to heavy load users if hydraulic pressure in a system gets
low.
Filters
Filters clean the hydraulic fluid as follows:
HP filters on each system and on reservoir filling system and the normal braking system
Return line filters on each line
Case drain filters on engine pumps and the blue electric pump (which permit maintenance
to monitor engine wear by inspecting the filters for presence of metallic particles)
Chan 40
Reservoir pressurization
Normally, HP bleed air from engine 1 pressurises the hydraulic reservoirs automatically. If the
bleed air pressure is too low, the system takes air pressure from the crossbleed duct. The systems
maintain a big enough pressure to prevent their pumps from cavitating.
Interaction of hydraulics system (blue, yellow and green) with flight control systems is shown in
the figure below.
[B737-700]
Boeing 737-700 has 3 hydraulic systems: A, B and standby. Either A or B hydraulic system can
power all flight controls with no decrease in airplane controllability. Each hydraulic system has a
fluid reservoir located in the main wheel well area. System A and B reservoirs are pressurised by
bleed air. The standby system reservoir is connected to system B reservoir for pressurisation and
servicing. Pressurisation of all reservoirs ensures positive fluid flow to all hydraulic pumps.
Hydraulic reservoir
The hydraulic reservoirs are pressurised from the
pneumatic manifold to ensure a positive flow of fluid
reaches the pumps. System A from the left manifold and
system B from the right.
Hydraulic fuses
These are essentially spring-loaded
shuttle valves which close the hydraulic
line if they detect a sudden increase in
flow such as a burst downstream, thereby
preserving hydraulic fluid for the rest of
the services. Hydraulic fuses are fitted to
the brake system, leading edge flap and
slat (extend/retract) lines, nose gear
(extend/retract) lines and the thrust
reverser pressure and return lines.
[A320-200]
High-pressure air has 3 sectors: engine bleed systems, APU load compressor and HP ground
connection.
Bleed valve
The bleed valve, which is downstream of the
junction of HP and IP ducting, acts as a shut-off
and pressure regulating valve. It maintains
delivery pressure at 44 + 4 psi. Each bleed valve
is pneumatically operated and controlled
electrically by its associated BMC.
Precooler
A precooler downstream of the bleed
valve regulates the temperature of the
bleed air. The precooler is an air-to-air
heat exchanger that uses cooling air bleed
from the engine fan to limit the
temperature to 200oC. The fan air valve
controls fan air flow.
Crossbleed
A crossbleed valve on the crossbleed duct allows the air supply systems of the 2 engines to be
isolated or interconnected. A rotary selector of the AIR COND panel controls the crossbleed
valve electrically. 2 electric motos control the valve.
Chan 47
Leak detection
Leak detection loops detect any overheating near the hot air ducts in the fuselage, pylons and
wings. For the pylon and APU, the sensing elements are tied to form a single loop and for the
wing, a double loop. When the 2 wing loops detect a leak, they activate a wing leak signal.
[A320-200]
Wing anti-ice
In flight, hot air from the pneumatic systems heats the 3 outboard slats of each wing. Air is
supplied through one valve in each wing.
Engine anti-ice
An independent air bleed from the high pressure compressor protects each engine nacelle from
ice. Air is supplied through a 2-position valve that the flight crew controls with 2 buttons, 1 for
each engine.
Chan 49
Window heat
A320 uses electrical heating for anti-icing each windshield and demisting the cockpit side
windows. 2 independent Window Heat Computers, one on each side, automatically regulate the
system, protecting it against overheating and indicate faults.
Window heating comes on automatically when at least 1 engine is running or when the aircraft is
in flight. It also comes on manually before the start of engine when the flight crew switches on
the Probe/Window Heat pushbutton.
Windshield heating operates at low power in the ground and at normal power in flight. Only one
heating level exists for the windows.
Chan 50
Probes heat
Electrical heating protects pitot heads, static ports, angle-of-attack probes and total air
temperature probes. 3 independent Probe Heat Computers automatically control and monitor
captain probes, F/O probes and STBY probes. They protect against overheating and indicate
faults.
[B737-700]
Warning lights
Conditions which require immediate action are indicated by red warning lights located in the
area of the pilots’ primary field of vision. These lights indicate engine, wheel well, cargo, or
APU fires; autopilot, autothrottle disconnects; and landing gear unsafe conditions.
Conditions which require timely attention of flight crew are indicated by amber caution lights.
Blue lights inform the flight crew of electrical power availability, valve position, equipment
status, and flight attendant or ground communications. Blue lights are for information and do not
require immediate flight crew attention.
Green lights indicate a fully extended configuration, e.g. landing gear and leading edge devices.
2 Master Fire Warning Lights illuminate when any fire condition occurs.
2 Master Caution Light illuminate when any caution occurs outside the normal field of vision of
the flight crew.
2 System Annunciator Lights are located on the glare shield. They include only systems located
in the forward, aft overhead and fire control panels.
Stall warning
Stall warning is provided by a control column shaker on each control column. The stall warning
“stick shaker” consists of 2 eccentric weight motors. They alert the pilots before a stall develops
The warning is given by vibrating both control columns.
Aural signals
Various aural signals call attention to warnings and cautions. An aural warning for airspeed
limits is given by a clacker, the autopilot disconnect by a warning tone, takeoff configuration and
cabin altitude by an intermittent horn, and landing gear position by a steady horn. The fire
warning by a fire warning bell. Ground proximity warnings and alerts, and windshear warnings
and alerts are given by voice warnings.
Chan 54
Evacuation slide
An inflatable slide that is placed at emergency doors and is
used to evacuate an aircraft quickly. The slide operates
automatically or manually and inflate rapidly so that
passengers can slide to the ground. Doors are designed to
open outwards and are of sufficient to allow passengers to
exit rapidly.
[A320-200]
Electrical supply to A320-200’s oxygen system and fire protection system is shown below:

[A320-200]
Airbus is the first aircraft manufacturer to introduce Fly-By-Wire (FBW) to civil transport. The
advantages of using FBW system are it incorporates flight envelope protection, reduces costs,
reduces pilot workload and improves aircraft performance.
The flight control surfaces are all hydraulically powered and are electrical or mechanical
controlled:
Fig 4.9.1 Flight control schematic. The blue, yellow and green hydraulics systems power the flight control actuators.
Cockpit controls
• 2 sidestick controllers (1 for each pilot) with which to exercise manual control of pitch and
roll. These are on their respective lateral consoles. The 2 sidestick controllers are not coupled
mechanically and they send separate sets of signals to the flight control computers.
• 2 pairs of pedals, which are rigidly interconnected, give the pilot mechanical control of the
rudder.
• Control speed brakes, controlled with a lever on the centre pedestal
• Mechanically interconnected handwheels, which are on each side of the centre pedestal,
control the trimmable horizontal stabilizer.
• A single switch on the centre pedestal to set the rudder trim.
Computers
Seven flight control computers process pilot and autopilot inputs according to normal, alternate
or direct flight control laws.
In addition 2 Flight Control Data Connectors (FCDC) acquire data from the ELACs and SECs
and send it to the electronic instrument system (EIS) and the centralized fault display system
(CFDS).
Pitch control
2 elevators and the Trimmable Horizontal Stabiliser (THS) control the aircraft in pitch. The
maximum elevator deflection is 30 degrees nose up and 17 degrees nose down. The maximum
THS deflection is 13.5 degrees nose up and 4 degrees nose down.
Chan 69
Roll control
One aileron and 4 spoilers on each wing control the aircraft about the roll axis. The maximum
deflection of aileron is 25 degrees. The ailerons extend 5 degrees down when the flaps are
extended (aileron droop). The maximum deflection of the spoilers is 35 degrees.
Yaw control
One rudder surface controls yaw. The yaw damping and turn coordination functions are
automatic. The ELACs compute yaw orders for coordinating turns and damping yaw oscillations
and transmit them to the FACs. The pilots can use conventional rudder pedals to control rudder.
Chan 70
[A320-200]
The landing gear of A320-200 consists of two main gears that retract inboard and a nose gear
that retracts forward. Doors enclose the landing gear bays. Gear and doors are electrically
controlled and hydraulically operated. The doors which are fitted to the landing gear struts are
operated mechanically by the gear and close at the end of retraction. 2 Landing Gear Control and
Interface Units (LGCIUs) control the extension and retraction of landing gear and operation of
the doors. They also supply information about the landing gear to ECAM for display and send
signals indicating whether the aircraft is in flight or on the ground to other aircraft systems.
Main gear
Each main gear has twin wheels and an
oleopneumatic shock absorber. Each main
wheel has an antiskid brake.
Nose gear
The two-wheeled nose gear has an
oleopneumatic shock strut and a nose wheel
steering system.
Brakes
The main wheels have multidisc brakes that can be actuated by either of two independent brake
systems. The normal system uses green hydraulic pressure while the alternate system uses the
yellow hydraulic system backed up by a hydraulic accumulator. Braking commands come form
either the brake pedals or the auto brake system. All braking functions are controlled by a 2-
channel BSCU. There are four modes of operation; normal braking, alternate braking with anti-
skid, alternate braking without anti-skid and parking brake.
Anti-skid system
Produces maximum braking efficiency by maintaining wheels just short of an impending skid.
When a wheel is on the verge of locking, the system sends brake release orders to the normal and
alternate servo valves.
Auto brake
The purposes of this system are:
to reduce the braking distance in case of an aborted takeoff
to establish and maintain a selected deceleration rate during landing, thereby improving
passenger comfort and reducing crew workload
Parking brake
Brakes are supplied by yellow hydraulic system or accumulator via the dual shuttle valves.
Alternate servo valves open allowing full pressure application. The accumulator maintains the
parking pressure for at least 12 hours.
As observed, landing gear systems require close interaction with the hydraulics system. Green
hydraulic system actuates all gear and doors. Yellow hydraulic system supplies the parking
brakes.
