  1. AIRCRAFT GENERAL This course is common for A319, A320, and A321 because all three of the aircraft have the same type rating. We will use the A320 as the generic term and occasionally refer to the other two when appropriate. In this presentation, you will see a basic description of the A320 family with all the controls in the cockpit. MENU

  2. A319 A320 A321 The A320 family is the most advanced family of single-aisle aircraft in service today, with fly-by-wire flight controls. The A319, A320, A321 are twin engine subsonic medium range aircraft. The family offers a choice of two powerplants, International Aero Engines and CFM International. MENU

  3. RANGE A320 With a Maximum Take-Off Weight of 162 000 lbs, the range of the A320 is 2900 Nm as shown above. - For the A319, with an MTOW of 141 000 lbs, it is 3000 NM. - For the A321, with an MTOW of 183 000 lbs, it is 2700 NM. MENU

  4. The cabin is equipped with a maximum of : • 145 seats for the A319, • 180 seats for the A320, and • 220 seats for the A321. MENU

  5. 12’11” 38’7” 123’3” Main dimensions • Let's look at the main dimensions for the A320. • The A319 and A321 have exactly the same dimensions except that : • the A319 is approximately 12ft shorter, • the A321 is approximately 23ft longer. 40’10” 111’10” MENU

  6. The following areas are unpressurized : • the tail cone, • the main gear bay, • the air conditioning packs, • the nose gear bay, • and the radome. RADOME NOSE GEAR BAY AIR COND. PACKS MAIN GEAR BAY TAIL CONE Unpressurized areas MENU

  7. Let's briefly familiarize ourselves with the location of the communication antennas : • VHF 1, • VHF 2, • VHF 3, • and HF 1 / 2. VHF 1 HF 1/2 VHF 3 Communication Antenna locations VHF 2 MENU

  8. Let's now have an overview of the location of the navigation antennas : - Radar - Marker - Localizer and glide slope - TCAS - DME 1 and 2 - ADF 1 and 2 - ATC - Radio altimeter - GPS 1 and 2 - VOR 1 and 2. GPS 1 LOCALIZER ADF 1 ATC MODE S VOR 1/2 GPS 2 TCAS ADF 2 RADAR GLIDE SLOPE DME 2 RADIO ALTIMETER DME 1 TCAS ATC MARKER Navigation Antenna locations MENU

  9. GROUND MANEUVER CAPABILITY 63’ A319

  10. GROUND MANEUVER CAPABILITY 63’ 75’ A319 A320

  11. GROUND MANEUVER CAPABILITY 63’ 75’ 88’ A319 A320 A321 The minimum pavement width for a 180º turn is : - 63 feet for the A319, - 75 feet for the A320, - 88 feet for the A321. MENU

  12. C HANGAR GROUND MANEUVER CAPABILITY A319 - A320 For the A319 and A320, if the wing clears the obstacle, then the tail will also clear it as it is inside the radius of the wing. MENU

  13. C HANGAR GROUND MANEUVER CAPABILITY A321 For the A321, the tail is the constraint. MENU

  14. AFT CARGO FWD CARGO • There are two cargo compartments : • a forward cargo compartment, • and an aft cargo compartment. • The size of the fuselage accommodates standard containers. MENU

  15. COCKPIT The cockpit is designed for a two member crew operation with one or two observer seats. MENU

  16. The system controls are located on an overhead panel in such a way that both crew members can monitor them. The cockpit of the A320, a two-man “glass” cockpit, is the most advanced cockpit of any civil airliner. It has an optimized layout of six CRT display units. The absence of control columns between the pilots and instruments ensures excellent visibility of all instruments. MENU

  17. CAPTAIN AND F/O SEATS The pilots seats are electrically or manually adjustable. All the seat adjustments will be presented during the simulator session. MENU

  18. OVERHEAD PANEL GLARESHIELD INSTRUMENTS PANEL SIDE STICK SIDE STICK PEDESTAL Click on each area defined by the yellow border or click on the forward arrow to sequence the five elements. MENU

  19. OVERHEAD PANEL The overhead panel is used : - during the preflight to check that all the lights are out (dark cockpit philosophy), - and in flight to carry out emergency or abnormal procedures. MENU

  20. OVERHEAD PANEL The central part of the overhead panel is dedicated to aircraft systems such as : - AIR COND, - ELECTRICAL, - FUEL, - HYDRAULIC, - and FIRE. Note : the most frequently used controls are located on the bottom part. MENU

  21. OVERHEAD PANEL For a closer look, let’s take the FUEL panel. On the left and right side is the system name. For each system there is a schematic diagram. Notice all pb sw are in lights out configuration. Click on the back arrow to return to the cockpit, or on the forward arrow to continue. MENU

  22. GLARESHIELD The glareshield is used by the pilots for flight guidance and short term flight management. It is also used to control the electronic flight instruments. Click on the back arrow to return to the cockpit, or on the forward arrow to continue. MENU

  23. STANDBY INSTRUMENTS EFIS EFIS ECAM The instruments panel provides the following information to the pilots : - Flight information through the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and standby instruments, - System information through Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM). INSTRUMENTS PANEL Click on the back arrow to return to the cockpit, or on the forward arrow to continue. MENU

  24. PEDESTAL The pedestal includes the controls which are usually found in conventional aircraft : - Radio communication, - Flaps, speed brakes, - Engine controls,… MENU

  25. PEDESTAL It also includes : - the ECAM Control Panel - the Multipurpose Control Display Units (MCDU) which are the long term interface with the Flight Management and Guidance System. Click on the back arrow to return to the cockpit, or on the forward arrow to continue. MENU

  26. SIDE STICKS The aircraft is flown manually using either side stick. They are located on the left and right sides of the cockpit. Click on the back arrow to return to the cockpit, or on the EXIT button. MENU EXIT
