Purpose
1. General
The A340-500/-600 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE
PLANNING (AC) manual is issued for the A340-500 and A340-600 basic versions to provide
necessary data to airport operators, airlines and Maintenance/Repair Organizations (MRO) for airport
and maintenance facilities planning.
This revision is now a merging of the Maintenance Facility Planning (MFP) document and the
Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning (AC). This document has been renamed Aircraft
Characteristics - Airport and Maintenance Planning (AC) to reflect this change.
Additionally, a chapter 10 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting has been added to the AC. This
chapter contains the illustrations of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire fighting Charts poster and replaces
the PDF document that was available for download.
This document is not customized and must not be used for training purposes.
The A340 is part of an integrated family sharing the same modern technology as the A330 and
maintaining the commonality that is integrated into the Airbus Fly-by-Wire Family. It has undergone
a program of continuous improvement and still delivers the value that airline customers expect, as the
A340 has over 50 customers and operators with more than 350 A340s flying to over 150 airports
every week.
The different models of the A340 Family can carry from 250 to 440 passengers and are operating on
some of the worlds longest routes.
A stand-out benefit of the four-engine A340 is that it does not require any ETOPS certification. This
allows quick start-up of long-haul operations. It also has good hot and high capability at airports
that would be off-limits to other aircraft.
The A340 has one of the quietest and most comfortable cabins in the sky, with state-of-the-art LED
(Light Emitting Diode) lighting, mood styles of lighting and AVOD IFE systems.
The A340 combines good capability, economics and passenger product in one package.

2. Design Weight Terminology
- Maximum Design Ramp Weight (MRW):
Maximum weight for ground maneuver (including weight of taxi and run-up fuel) as limited by
aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements. It is also called Maximum Design Taxi Weight
(MTW).
- Maximum Design Landing Weight (MLW):
Maximum weight for landing as limited by aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements.
- Maximum Design Take-Off Weight (MTOW):
Maximum weight for take-off as limited by aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements. (This
is the maximum weight at start of the take-off run).
- Maximum Design Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW):
Maximum permissible weight of the aircraft without usable fuel.
- Maximum Seating Capacity:
Maximum number of passengers specifically certified or anticipated for certification.
- Usable Volume:
Usable volume available for cargo, pressurized fuselage, passenger compartment and cockpit.

**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Landing Gear Maintenance Pits
1. General
The minimum maintenance pit envelopes for the main landing gear shock absorber removal are shown
in Figures 1 and 2.
All dimensions shown are minimum dimensions with zero clearances.
The dimensions for the pits have been determined for these design factors:
- The length and width of the pits allow the gear to rotate as the weight is taken off the landing
gear
- The depth of the pits allow the shock absorber to be removed when all the weight is taken off the
landing gear.
Dimensions for elevators and associated mechanisms must be added to those in Figures 1 and 2.
A. Elevators
These can be either mechanical or hydraulic. Elevators are used to:
- permit easy movement of persons and equipment around the main landing gears
- to lift and remove landing gear assemblies out of the pits.
B. Jacking
The aircraft must be in position over the pits to put the gear on the elevators. Jacks must be
installed and engaged with all the jacking points (Ref. Section 2-14 for Jacking).
Jacks must support the total aircraft weight, i.e. when the landing gears do not touch the
elevators on retraction/extension tests.
When tripod support jacks are used, the tripod-base circle radius must be limited because the
locations required for positioning the jacks are close to the sides of the pits.

@A340-500/-600
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Landing Gear
1. General
The aircraft has:
- Two Main Landing Gears (MLG) with four wheel bogie assembly and related doors
- A Centerline Landing Gear (CLG) with four wheel bogie assembly and related doors
- A Nose Landing Gear (NLG) with twin wheel assembly and related doors.
The Main Landing Gears are located under each wing and retract sideways towards the fuselage
centerline.
The Centerline Landing Gear is located on the belly and retract forward into a bay in the fuselage.
The Nose Landing Gear retracts forward into a fuselage compartment below the cockpit.
The retraction and extension of the landing gears and landing gear doors are operated hydraulically
and mechanically. The control, sequence and indication are electrical.
In abnormal operation, the landing gears can be extended by gravity.
For the dimensions of the landing gear footprint and tire size, refer to 07-02-00.
2. Main Landing Gear and Doors
Each main landing gear has a leg assembly and a four-wheel bogie beam. The MLG leg includes a
shortening mechanism, a bogie pitch trimmer and an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. In-flight, with
the MLG extended, the bogie is held in a trailing condition (rear wheels low) by an articulation
linkage and a pitch trimmer. The folding sidestay is locked mechanically by a lockstay (which is
operated by the downlock actuator) when the MLG is fully extended.
Each MLG bay has the following doors:
- A hydraulically-operated main door
- A mechanically-operated hinged door
- A fairing door on the MLG leg.
All the doors close when the MLG retracts. When the MLG is extended the main door closes and the
hinged door stays open. A manually operated mechanism (for maintenance personnel) lets the main
doors be opened for access to the MLG bay when the aircraft is on the ground.
3. Centerline Landing Gear and Doors
The CLG has a four-wheel bogie beam assembly and a leg assembly that includes an oleo pneumatic
shock absorber. The CLG is supported longitudinally by a two-piece folding dragstay. The dragstay is
locked mechanically by the lock links when the CLG is fully extended.
Each CLG bay has the following doors:
2-9-0
Page 6
Jan 01/14
@A340-500/-600
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
- Two hydraulically-operated center doors (each door includes a manually-operated maintenance
door attached with hinges to the rear of the center door)
- A fairing door attached to the CLG leg, and an articulated door attached with a hinge to the
fairing door.
4. Nose Landing Gear and Doors
The NLG includes a twin-wheel axle assembly and an oleo-pneumatic shock-absorber. The NLG is
supported longitudinally by a two-piece dragstay. The dragstay is locked mechanically by the lock
links when the NLG is fully extended.
Each NLG bay has the following doors:
- Two hydraulically-operated FWD doors
- Two mechanically-operated AFT doors
- A fixed fairing door on the NLG leg.
All the doors close when the NLG retracts. When the NLG is extended the FWD doors close and the
AFT doors stay open. A door opening mechanism lets the FWD doors be opened on the ground for
access to the NLG bay.
5. Nose Wheel Steering
Nose wheel steering system is a computer controlled electro-hydraulic system. The system uses the
Green main hydraulic power system to operate the hydraulic components.
The steering is controlled by two hand wheel transmitters in the cockpit, which supply the primary
steering inputs to the BSCU (Brake and Steering Control Unit ).
A steering disconnection box is installed on the NLG to disconnect the steering for towing.
For the operation and control of nose wheel steering, refer to AMM 32-51-00.
For the steering angle limits, refer to AMM 09-10-00.
6. Landing Gear Servicing Points
A. General
Fluid filling and gas charging of the MLG, CLG and NLG shock absorbers are accomplished
through MS28889 standard valves.
B. Charging Pressures
For charging of the landing gear shock absorbers, refer to AMM AMM 12-14-32.
7. Landing Gear Control
The landing gear and door operation is controlled electrically by one of the two Landing Gear Control
and Interface Units (LGCIU). Control changes from one LGCIU to the other after each extension
cycle.
In normal operation, the landing gear and doors are operated by the Green hydraulic system.

Page 7
Jan 01/14
@A340-500/-600
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
In abnormal operation, the landing gears can be extended by the operation of the electro-hydraulic
free-fall-system. A switch in the cockpit disengage the doors and the landing gear uplocks. The
landing gears then extend by free-fall, and lock down.
8. Braking
A. General
Carbon multi-disc brakes are installed on each wheel of the MLG and the CLG. Each brake
assembly has two wear indicators installed.
The braking system has four braking modes with autobrake and anti-skid systems:
- Normal braking with anti-skid.
- Alternate braking with anti-skid.
- Alternate braking without anti-skid.
- Parking brake with full brake pressure.
B. In-Flight Wheel Braking
Braking occurs automatically during the retraction of the landing gears. This stops the rotation
of the MLG and CLG wheels before the landing gears go into their related bays.
9. Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS)
The TPIS automatically monitors the tire pressures and shows these values on Test Equipment
(BITE) and also supplies other data and warnings on the WHEEL page of the System Display (SD).
10. Built In Test Equipment (BITE)
The BITE has hardware and software for these functions:
- to automatically do a self test at power-up
- to continuously monitor the related systems for failures
- to continuously monitor the interface with other specified systems in the aircraft
- to keep a record of each failure and defect and send this data to other systems in the aircraft
- to automatically do a functional test of some related systems before a landing
- to do specified system tests during ground maintenance.
The BITE for the following systems is described in these chapters:
- The Brakes and Steering AMM 32-46-00
- The TPIS AMM 32-49-00
- The Landing GearAMM 32-69-00.

2-12-0 Engine and Nacelle
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Engine and Nacelle
1. Engine and Nacelle -- TRENT 500 Engine
A. Engine
The RB211-TRENT 500 engine is a high bypass ratio, triple spool turbofan.
The principal modules of the engine are:
- The Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) rotor
- The Intermediate Pressure (IP) compressor
- The intermediate case
- The HP system (this includes the High Pressure Compressor (HPC), the combustion system
and the High Pressure Turbine (HPT))
- The IP turbine
- The external gearbox.
The compressor system has three axial flow compressors in a triple spool configuration. The
compressors are turned independently by their related turbines, each at its most satisfactory
speed. The LP system has a single-stage compressor installed at the front of the engine. A
shaft connects the compressor to a five-stage turbine at the rear of the gas generator. The
gas generator also includes an eight-stage IP compressor, a six-stage HPC and a combustion
system. Each of the compressors in the gas generator is connected to, and turned by, a
different single-stage turbine. Between the HPC and the HPT is the annular combustion
system which burns a mixture of fuel and air to supply energy as heat. Behind the LP
turbine there is a collector nozzle assembly through which the hot gas exhaust flows. The
external gearbox module is installed below the fan case. It has a gear train that decreases
and increases the speed to meet the specified drive requirements of each accessory.
B. Nacelle
A nacelle gives the engine an aerodynamic shape and supports the thrust reverser system. Each
engine is housed in a nacelle suspended from a pylon attached below the wing. The nacelle
consists of the following major components:
(1) Air Intake Cowl Assembly
The air intake cowl is an interchangeable aerodynamic cowl installed at the front of the
engine. It ducts airflow to the fan and the engine core. The cowl has panels for easy access
to the components. Acoustic materials are used in the manufacture of the cowl to help
decrease the engine noise.
(2) Fan Cowl Assembly
The fan cowl assembly has two semicircular panels, the left fan cowl and the right fan
cowl, that enclose the engine fan case between the air intake cowl and the thrust reverser.
There are four assemblies for each aircraft. Each fan cowl panel is interchangeable from
one engine to a different engine, when the strakes are removed or installed.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
(3) Thrust Reverser
The thrust reverser is a component of the aircraft engine nacelle. The thrust reverser is a
conventional fixed-cascade, translating-cowl type. The thrust reverser provides an
aerodynamic flow path and uses the outer mobile structure, which is hydraulically powered,
to provide a fan exhaust duct and a nozzle exit. In stow mode, the thrust reverser is an
aerodynamic structure. In reverse mode, it is used to deflect and redirect part of the engine
fan exhaust air by the blocker doors and in a forward direction through the cascades. The
thrust reverser increases the aircraft wheel braking and the speed braking systems to
reduce the landing distance.
(4) Exhaust System
The turbine exhaust system consists of one exhaust nozzle and one exhaust plug. The
exhaust nozzle is bolted to the engine low pressure turbine frame flange outer flange. It is
acoustically treated. The exhaust plug is bolted to the engine low pressure turbine frame
flange inner flange. It is a two-piece conical structure. The turbine exhaust flow path is
formed by the inner wall of the exhaust nozzle and the outer wall of the exhaust plug.

2-12-1 Auxiliary Power Unit
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Auxiliary Power Unit
1. General
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and its related mechanical components are installed at the rear part
of the fuselage in the tailcone section. The APU compartment is a fireproof area (identified as the
Fire Zone).
The APU is a pneumatic and shaft-power gas-turbine engine and is used for the ground and in-flight
power supply of the aircraft.
The APU supplies:
- mechanical shaft-power to operate a generator
- bleed-air to the Main Engine Start (MES) and the Environmental Control System (ECS).
A part of the automatic system, with the pneumatic and the electromechanical controls, operates the
start and the acceleration functions of the APU.
An air intake system with a flap-type door is installed in front of the APU compartment. The exhaust
gases pass overboard at the end of the fuselage cone.
2. Powerplant
The APU is the Garrett Gas-Turbine Compressor Power-unit (GTCP) 331-600A with a single shaft
engine.
The engine is the primary component of the APU, which is of the modular design. The modules of
the engine are:
- The power section
- The load compressor
- The accessory drive gearbox with LRU(s).
The power section has a two-stage centrifugal compressor, a reverse-flow annular combustion
chamber and a three-stage axial turbine. The power section directly operates the one-stage
centrifugal load-compressor which supplies the bleed-air to the pneumatic system. The inlet guide
vanes as part of the load compressor, control the airflow.
The power section also operates the gearbox which is attached to the load compressor. The following
LRUs are mounted on the gearbox :
- the APU generator,
- the starter motor,
- the oil pump,
- the Fuel Control Unit (FCU),
The APU has a gearbox-driven oil-cooled AC generator.
The cooling air and ventilation system of the APU supplies the air for cooling of the APU and the
equipment on the APU. It also supplies the air for ventilation of the APU compartment.

3. Control circuit
The Electronic Control Box (ECB), which controls the Fuel Control Unit (FCU) and the Inlet Guide
Vanes (IGV), keeps the APU at a constant speed. The control circuit is used to start the APU, to
shut it down, to control it and to prevent internal failure.
4. Controls and Indication
The primary APU controls and indications are installed in the overhead panel, on the center pedestal
panel and on the forward center panel. External APU panels are also installed on the nose landing
gear and on the refuel/defuel panel, to initiate an APU emergency shut-down.

2-13-0 Levelling, symmetry and Alignment
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment
1. Quick Leveling
There are three alternative procedures to level the aircraft:
- Quick leveling procedure with Air Data/Inertial Reference System (ADIRS)
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the passenger compartment
- Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the FWD cargo compartment.
2. Precision Leveling
For precise leveling, it is necessary to install sighting rods in the receptacles located under the
fuselage (points 12 and 13 for longitudinal leveling) and under the wings (points 2LH and 2RH for
lateral leveling) and use a sighting tube. With the aircraft on jacks, adjust the jacks until the
reference marks on the sighting rods are aligned in the sighting plane (aircraft level).
3. Symmetry and Alignment Check
Possible deformation of the aircraft is measured by photogrammetry.

2-14-0 Jacking for Maintenance
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Jacking for Maintenance
1. Aircraft Jacking Points for Maintenance
A. General
(1) The A340-500/-600 can be jacked:
- At not more than 200 000 kg (440 924 lb)
- Within the limits of the permissible wind speed when the aircraft is jacked outside a
closed environment.
B. Primary Jacking Points
(1) The aircraft is provided with three primary jacking points:
- One located under the forward fuselage (after FR10)
- Two located under the wings (one under each wing), at the intersection of RIB10 and
the rear of the spar-datum.
(2) Three jack adapters (ground equipment) are used as intermediary parts between the
aircraft jacking points and the jacks:
- One male spherical jack adapter at the forward fuselage
- Two female spherical jack pad adapters at the wings (one at each wing).
C. Auxiliary Jacking Point (Safety Stay)
(1) When the aircraft is on jacks, a safety stay is placed under the fuselage at FR87 to prevent
tail tipping caused by accidental displacement of the aircraft center of gravity.
(2) The safety point must not be used for lifting the aircraft.
(3) One male spherical stay adapter (ground equipment) is used as an intermediary part
between the aircraft safety point and the stay.
2. Jacks and Safety Stay
A. Jack Design
(1) The maximum eligible loads given in the table (Ref. Fig. Jacking Point Location) are the
maximum loads applicable on jack fittings.
(2) In fully retracted position (jack stroke at minimum), the height of the jack is such that the
jack may be placed beneath the aircraft under the most adverse conditions, namely, tires
deflated and shock absorbers depressurized, with sufficient clearance between the aircraft
jacking point and the jack upper end.
(3) The lifting jack stroke enables the aircraft to be jacked up so that the Fuselage Datum
Line (FDL) may be positioned up to 7.2 m (23.62 ft) from the ground to allow all required
maintenance procedures and in particular, the removal/installation of the landing-gear
shock absorbers.

2-14-1 Jacking for Wheel Change
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Jacking for Wheel Change
1. General
To replace either the wheel or brake unit assemblies on any of the landing gears, it is necessary to lift
the landing gear with a jack.
The landing gear can be lifted by a pillar jack or with a cantilever jack.
The possible damage conditions than can be found on the landing gear wheel units are shown in
Figures MLG Jacking Point Heights, NLG Jacking Point Heights and CLG Jacking Point
Heights.
NOTE : You can lift the aircraft at the Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW).
2. Main Landing Gear (MLG)
To lift the MLG bogie with jacks, a dome shaped adapter (diameter 38 mm (1.5 in)) is installed
below the FWD and AFT ends of each bogie beam. Each pair of wheels and brake units can be
replaced on the end of the bogie that is lifted.
Both FWD and AFT ends of the bogie beam can be lifted together, but the bogie beam must be kept
level during the lift to prevent damage.
The MLG has a pitch trimmer installed. If an MLG has all four tires deflated or shredded, replace the
wheel assemblies in this sequence:
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the AFT axle,
- Replace the wheel assemblies on the FWD axle.
If the FWD axle is lifted first the pitch trimmer contacts the outstop. Further jacking will cause the
whole bogie to be lifted.
Important dimensions on heights of the MLG when lifted are shown in Figure MLG Jacking Point
Heights.
The maximum height of the bogie beam when lifted must not exceed 650 mm (25.6 in).
The reaction loads at each jack position are shown in Figures MLG Jacking Point Loads.
NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance
between the ground and the tire.
3. Nose Landing Gear
To lift the NLG axle with a jack, a dome shaped adapter (diameter 38 mm (1.5 in)) is installed
between the wheels.
Important dimensions on heights of the NLG when lifted are shown in Figure NLG Jacking Point
Heights.
The reaction loads at the jack position are shown in Figures NLG Jacking Point Loads.
NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance
between the ground and the tire.

**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Support of Aircraft
1. Support of Aircraft
When it is necessary to support the aircraft in order to relieve the loads on the structure for the
accomplishment of modifications or major work, it is advisable to provide adapters under the wings
and the fuselage for an alternative means of lifting.
The aircraft must not be lifted or supported by the wings or fuselage alone. It is important to support
the aircraft fuselage and wings at the same time to prevent structural damage.
A. Shoring Cradles
Shoring cradles are used when it is necessary to stress-jack the aircraft to carry out maintenance
and repair work. These are used to oppose the deflections of the wings and reduce the stresses
to an acceptable level at the area of maintenance and repair.
The shoring cradles, each with two adjustable pads, 152.4 mm (6 in) square, are positioned at
four locations under each wing.
The adjustable pads are faced with thin rubber and are in contact with the wing profile at the
datum intersections of the ribs and the front and rear spars (F/S and R/S).

4-1-0 General Information
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
General Information
1. This section provides airplane turning capability and maneuvering characteristics.
For ease of presentation, this data has been determined from the theoretical limits imposed by the
geometry of the aircraft, and where noted, provides for a normal allowance for tire slippage. As such,
it reflects the turning capability of the aircraft in favorable operating circumstances. This data should
only be used as guidelines for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In the ground operating mode, varying airline practices may demand that more conservative turning
procedures be adopted to avoid excessive tire wear and reduce possible maintenance problems. Airline
operating techniques will vary in the level of performance, over a wide range of operating
circumstances throughout the world. Variations from standard aircraft operating patterns may be
necessary to satisfy physical constraints within the maneuvering area, such as adverse grades, limited
area or high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should be
coordinated with the using airlines prior to layout planning.

Minimum Line-Up Distance Corrections
1. The ground maneuvers were performed using asymmetric thrust and differential-only braking to
initiate the turn.
TODA: Take-Off Distance Available
ASDA: Acceleration-Stop Distance Available
2. 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 4.5 m (15 ft) from the taxiway edge, and finishes with the aircraft aligned on the
centerline of the runway, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-025-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 4.5 m (15 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.
3. 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 4.5 m (15 ft) from the pavement edge, and it
finishes with the aircraft aligned on the centerline of the runway, see FIGURE 4-7-0-991-026-A.
During the turn, all the clearances must meet the minimum value of 4.5 m (15 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.
4. 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 (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 4-7-0-991-027-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 4.5 m (15 ft) for this category of
aircraft as recommended in ICAO Annex 14.

EXAMPLE TO DETERMINATE THE AIRFLOW REQUIRED AT THE FUSELAGE CONNECTION:
FOR AN AIR START UNIT DELIVERING 60 PSIA (4.14 BARS) AIR PRESSURE AT THE
FUSELAGE CONNECTOR
1. DRAW AN HORIZONTAL LINE FROM THE SUPPLIED AIR PRESSURE (60 PSIA (4.14 BARS)).
2. FROM THE INTERSECTION WITH THE AIR SUPPLY TEMPERATURE AT FUSELAGE
CONNECTION (220C (428F)), DRAW A VERTICAL LINE.
3. THE INTERSECTION WITH THE HORIZONTAL AXIS GIVES THE REQUIRED AIRFLOW AT GROUND
CONNECTION (125 kg/min (2.08 kg/s)).

5-8-0 Ground Towing Requirements
**ON A/C A340-500 A340-600
Ground Towing Requirements
1. This section provides information on aircraft towing.
The A340-500/-600 is designed with means for conventional or towbarless towing.
Information/procedures can be found for both in chapter 9 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
Status on towbarless towing equipment qualification can be found in SIL 09-002.
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 nose gear leg (refer to AMM chapter 9 for conditions and
limitations). One towbar fitting is installed at the front of the leg (optional towing fitting for towing
from the rear of the NLG available).
The Main Landing Gears have attachment points for towing or debogging (for details, refer to
chapter 7 of the Aircraft Recovery Manual).
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 following chart is applicable to both A340-500 and -600 aircraft.
2. Towbar design guidelines
The aircraft towbar shall comply with the following standards:
- SAE AS 1614, Main Line Aircraft TowBar Attach Fitting Interface,
- SAE ARP 1915, 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 nose gear against jerks) and with towing shear pins:
- A traction shear pin calibrated at 40 400 daN (90 823 lbf),
- A torsion pin calibrated at 4 800 m.daN (424 779 lbf.in).
The towing head is designed according to SAE AS 1614, cat. IV.

EXAMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE MASS REQUIREMENT TO TOW A A340500 OR 600 AT 380 000 kg,
AT 1.5% SLOPE, 2 ENGINES AT IDLE AND FOR WET TARMAC CONDITIONS:
ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH, CHOOSE THE RELEVANT AIRCRAFT WEIGHT (380 000 kg),
FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUIRED SLOPE PERCENTAGE (1.5%),
FROM THE POINT OBTAINED DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE UNTIL No. OF ENGINES AT IDLE = 4,
FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUESTED No. OF ENGINES (2),
FROM THIS POINT DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE TO THE DRAWBAR PULL AXIS,
THE YCOORDINATE OBTAINED IS THE NECESSARY DRAWBAR PULL FOR THE TRACTOR (30 300 kg),
SEARCH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE "WET CONCRETE" LINE.
THE OBTAINED XCOORDINATE IS THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT (53 100 kg).

General Information
1. General
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 Main Landing Gear (MLG).
All curves on the charts represent data at a constant specified tire pressure with:
- The aircraft loaded to the Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW),
- 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 07-02-00 presents basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, MRW and tire sizes
and pressures.
Maximum Pavement Loads:
Section 07-03-00 shows maximum vertical and horizontal pavement loads for certain critical
conditions at the tire-ground interfaces.
Landing Gear Loading on Pavement:
Section 07-04-00 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 07-05-00 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 the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion Method:
The flexible pavement charts in Section 07-06-00 show Load Classification Number (LCN) against
Equivalent Single Wheel Load (ESWL), and ESWL against pavement thickness.
All the LCN curves shown in the Flexible Pavement Requirements were developed from a computer
program based on data in International Civil Aviation Organization (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 07-07-00 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 07-08-00 gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the LCN conversion:
- For the radius of relative stiffness,
- For the radius of relative stiffness (other values of E and ).
All the LCN curves shown in Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN conversion were developed from a
computer program based on data in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) document 7920-
AN/865/2, Aerodrome Manual, Part 2, Aerodrome Physical Characteristics, Second Edition, 1965.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion - Radius of Relative Stiffness:
The rigid pavement charts show LCN against ESWL, and ESWL against radius of relative stiffness.
Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion - Radius of Relative Stiffness (other values of E and
):
The rigid pavement charts show LCN against ESWL, and ESWL against radius of relative stiffness
affected by the other values of E and .
ACN/PCN Reporting System:
Section 07-09-00 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.
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 less than or equal to 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.
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.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
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:
PCN
PAVEMENT
TYPE
SUBGRADE
CATEGORY
TIRE PRESSURE CATEGORY EVALUATION METHOD
R - Rigid A - High W - No pressure limit
T - Technical
F - Flexible B - Medium
X - High pressure limited to
1.75 MPa (254 psi)
U - Using Aircraft
C - Low
Y - Medium pressure limited to
1.25 MPa (181 psi)
D - Ultra Low
Z - Low pressure limited to 0.5
MPa (73 psi)
For flexible pavements, the four subgrade categories are:
- A. High Strength CBR 15
- B. Medium Strength CBR 10
- C. Low Strength CBR 6
- D. Ultra Low Strength CBR 3
For rigid pavements, the four subgrade categories are:
- A. High Strength Subgrade k = 150 MN/m
3
(550 pci)
- B. Medium Strength Subgrade k = 80 MN/m
3
(300 pci)
- C. Low Strength Subgrade k = 40 MN/m
3
(150 pci)
- D. Ultra Low Strength Subgrade
k
= 20 MN/m
3
(75 pci)

Landing Gear Loading on Pavement
1. This section gives data about the landing gear loading on pavement.
The MLG loading on pavement graphs are given for the weight variants that produce (at the MRW
and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for each type of aircraft.
2. MLG Loading on Pavement
Example, see FIGURE 7-4-0-991-009-A (Sheet 1), calculation of the total weight on the MLG for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- The aircraft gross weight is 280 000 kg (617 300 lb),
- A percentage of weight on the MLG of 92.69% (percentage of weight on the MLG at MRW and
maximum aft CG at MRW).
The total weight on the MLG group is 259 530 kg (572 175 lb).
3. Main Gear and Center Gear Loading on Pavement
The MLG group consists of two main gears (4-wheel bogies) plus one center gear (4-wheel bogies).
Example, see FIGURE 7-4-0-991-009-A (Sheet 2), calculation of the total weight on the MLG for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- The aircraft gross weight is 280 000 kg (617 300 lb),
- A percentage of weight on the MLG of 92.66% (percentage of weight on the MLG at 280 000 kg
(617 290 lb) and maximum aft CG at MRW).
The load on the two main gears is 178 450 kg (393 425 lb) and the load on the center gear is 81 000
kg (178 575 lb).
The total weight on the MLG group is 259 450 kg (572 000 lb).
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN/LCN calculation.

Flexible Pavement Requirements - US Army Corps of Engineers Design Method
1. This section gives data about the flexible pavement requirements.
The flexible pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for
each type of aircraft.
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 7-5-0-991-007-A, calculation of the thickness of the flexible pavement for
MLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- A CBR value of 10,
- An annual departure level of 3 000,
- The load on one MLG of 110 000 kg (242 500 lb).
The required flexible pavement thickness is 73.4 cm (29 in).
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
1. This section gives data about the flexible pavement requirements for Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion.
The flexible pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and max aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load of each
type of aircraft.
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 7-6-0-991-006-A (sheet 1), calculation of the thickness of the flexible
pavement for the MLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- The flexible pavement thickness is 1 397 mm (55 in) with a related LCN of 169.
The weight on one MLG is 110 000 kg (242 500 lb).
2. Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Table
The table in FIGURE 7-6-0-991-015-A provides LCN data in a 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 is not frequently published in the standard
airport information sources (Jeppesen, AERAD, DOD, etc.).
Therefore it is common practice to use a standard thickness (20 in) when determining the LCN and
the ESWL of the aircraft.
If the LCN for an intermediate weight between the MRW and the empty weight of the aircraft is
required, or if the real thickness is known, refer to the figures that follow.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for LCN calculation.

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.
The rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for
each A/C type.
To find a rigid pavement thickness, you must know the Subgrade Modulus (k), the permitted working
stress and the weight on one 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 the weight on the MLG are made based on the
curve for k = 80 MN/m
3
, which is already shown on the graph.
Example, see FIGURE 7-7-0-991-006-A , calculation of the thickness of the rigid pavement for the
MLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- A k value of 80 MN/m
3
(300 lbf/in
3
),
- A permitted working stress of 38.67 kg/cm
2
(550 lb/in
2
),
- The load on one MLG is 110 000 kg (242 500 lb).
The required rigid pavement thickness is 277 mm (11 in).
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.

**ON A/C A340-500WV0xx A340-500WV1xx A340-600WV0xx A340-600WV1xx
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).
The rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight variants
producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG load for
each type of aircraft.
To find the aircraft weight that a rigid pavement can support, you must know the LCN of the
pavement and the radius of relative stiffness (L).
The calculation of the radius of relative stiffness (L) is done with the formula and the table given in
Radius of Relative Stiffness (L values based on Youngs Modulus (E) of 4 000 000 psi and
Poissons Ratio () of 0.15), see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-003-A.
Example, see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-010-A, calculation of the aircraft weight through the radius of
relative stiffness (L) of the rigid pavement for the MLG:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- The radius of relative stiffness is shown at 1 397 mm (55 in) with a related LCN of 127.
The weight on one MLG is 110 000 kg (242 500 lb).
The following tables provide LCN data in a 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 the maximum ramp weight and the empty weight of
the aircraft is required or if the real thickness is known, refer to the figures that follow.
2. Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of E and )
This section gives data about the rigid pavement requirements for the Load Classification Number
(LCN) conversion (radius of relative stiffness) with other values of E (Youngs modulus) and
(Poissons ratio).
The other values of E and have an effect on the radius of relative stiffness (L-value).
The effect of E and on the radius of relative stiffness (L-value) is shown in the graphs in FIGURE
7-8-0-991-016-A.
The table in FIGURE 7-8-0-991-003-A shows L-values based on a Youngs modulus (E) of 4 000 000
psi and a Poissons ratio () of 0.15.
To find the L-value, you must know the values of E and .
Example, see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-016-A, calculation of the L-values of the rigid pavement for an E of
3 000 000 psi.

@A340-500/-600
AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
The E factor is 0.931.
The radius of relative stiffness (L-value) is the value found in the table (see FIGURE 7-8-0-991-003-
A) multiplied by 0.931.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for LCN calculation.

Aircraft Classification Number - Flexible and Rigid Pavement
1. This section gives data about the Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) for an aircraft gross weight in
relation to a subgrade strength value for flexible and rigid pavement.
The flexible and rigid pavement requirement graphs are given at standard tire pressure for the weight
variants producing (at the MRW and maximum aft CG) the lowest MLG load and the highest MLG
load for each type of aircraft.
To find the ACN of an aircraft on flexible and rigid 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 7-9-0-991-018-A (sheet 1), calculation of the ACN for flexible pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 280 000 kg (617 300 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for flexible pavement is 48.
Example, see FIGURE 7-9-0-991-018-A (sheet 2), calculation of the ACN for rigid pavement for:
- An aircraft with a MRW of 369 200 kg (813 950 lb),
- An aircraft gross weight of 280 000 kg (617 300 lb),
- A medium subgrade strength (code B).
The ACN for rigid pavement is 49.
2. Aircraft Classification Number - ACN table
The tables in FIGURE 7-9-0-991-006-A and FIGURE 7-9-0-991-007-A provide 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 MRW and the minimum weight of the
aircraft is required, refer to the figures that follow.
NOTE : The CG in the figure title is the CG used for ACN calculation.
