In case of ADIRU1 and/or ADIRU2 failure, ADR 3 and/or IR 3
The Air Data and Inertial Reference System (ADIRS) is the A/C
outputs may be manually switched using the switching control panel.
navigation center. It is an autonomous system, independent of ground
navigation aids. The ADIRS gives many A/C systems and the Control
and Display System (CDS) with air data, inertial parameters and time
reference through the Avionics Data Communication Network (ADCN)
and ARINC bus.
Components
The ADIRS is composed of:
- 3 Air Data and Inertial Reference Units (ADIRUs),
- one Integrated Control Panel (ICP) located on the overhead panel,
allowing ADIRUs powering and control,
- one switching panel located on the main instrument panel,
- air data sensors.
The ADIRS interfaces with:
- 2 EFIS Control Panels (EFIS CP), located on the glareshield,
allowing the baro-reference setting,
- 2 Keyboard Cursor and Control Units (KCCUs), located on the
pedestal, allowing manual position IR alignment and controlling the
status of the ADIRS on MultiFunction Displays (MFDs),
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34P1ADIRS0001

- MMR for GPS signals and time reference.


Each ADIRU is split in 2 parts:
- the Air Data Reference (ADR) part receives the aerodynamic signals
from various sensors and computes air data parameters,
- the Inertial Reference (IR) part receives the GPS signal from Multi
Mode Receiver (MMR) and computes the inertial parameters and the
navigation parameters.
Control And Indicating
In normal condition:
- ADIRU 1 gives data to the CAPT EFIS,

Air Data Reference Acquisition
The ADR part of each ADIRU receives air data from 3 types of sensors:
- one MultiFunction Probe (MFP), located on the right or left hand side
of the FWD fuselage, gives the Angle Of Attack (AOA), the Total Air
Temperature (TAT) and the Total Pressure (Pt),
- two Integrated Static Probes (ISPs), located on the FWD fuselage, give
the Static Pressure (Ps),
- one Side Slip Angle (SSA), located on the FWD fuselage, gives the
Side Slip Angle (SSA).
Each probe has an internal air data/digital converter and transmits the air
data parameters to the ADIRUs in digital format. Each probe has an
integrated de-icing protection, which can be activated automatically by
the ADIRS or manually through a PROBE/WINDOW HEAT P/B switch
on the ICP.
A rotary selector powers each ADIRU and the ADR P/B switch on the
ICP individually controls each ADR part.
The baro-setting on the EFIS control panel fulfills the barometric pressure
correction.

AIR DATA & INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM PRES. (1)


Inertial Reference Acquisition
Each ADIRU IR part supplies navigation and inertial data to the CDS
and to other A/C systems through the ADCN. The inertial data are
computed by the ADIRU using internal accelerometers and gyrometers.
The navigation data and time mark are given from the GPS.
In normal operation the IR part is automatically aligned using the GPS
position. It may also be aligned manually through the KCCU and MFD.
Each ADIRU is powered by a rotary selector and each IR part is
individually controlled by the IR P/BSW on the ICP.

STANDBY NAVIGATION SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)


Standby Navigation System
The Standby Navigation System (SNS) is the back-up system in case of
ADIRS failure (Air Data and Inertial Reference System), CDS failure
(Control and Display System) or ADCN failure (Avionics Data
Communication Network).
The SNS computes and provides:
- standby Air Data Reference (ADR) information,
- standby Inertial Reference (IR) information,
- navigation information,
- flight plan information.
The SNS is composed of:
- 2 independent Integrated Standby Instruments System (ISIS) units,
located in the center of the main instrument panel. The ISIS computes
and displays air data parameters, flight plan and navigation information.
In normal configuration, ISIS 1 displays the standby flight display and
ISIS 2 displays the standby navigation display. Each ISIS is capable of
fulfilling all the functions of either standby flight display or standby
navigation display. In case of failure of ISIS1, ISIS 2 is automatically
reconfigured in standby flight display mode. In this configuration, it is
possible to recover the standby navigation display again by an action on
the MODE P/BSW, located on the front face of the ISIS.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34P2SNS000001

- one standby pitot probe, located on the left FWD fuselage, gives the
Total Pressure (Pt),
- two standby static probes, located on the left and right FWD fuselage
on the nose front fairing, give the Static Pressure (Ps).
All sensors are automatically or manually de-iced,
- 1 standby compass, located on top of the windshield center post, gives
A/C magnetic heading information.

ONBOARD AIRPORT NAVIGATION SYSTEM PRES. (1)


Onboard Airport Navigation System : Presentation
Airport Navigation is an on-board function giving the flight crew
improved situational awareness on the airport surface.
The aims of Airport Navigation function are firstly to ease pilot workload
in the day-to-day task of navigation around complex airfields; and
secondly, an important safety function, is to help prevent dangerous errors
in surface navigation such as runway incursion or take-off from the wrong
runway/taxiway. Then, the function will contribute to potentially reduce
taxiing delays thanks to improved navigation.
The Airport Navigation function is done by the Onboard Airport
Navigation System (OANS), which is composed of one OANC and other
A/C systems described here after.
The Airport Navigation function is, by default, displayed on the
Navigation Display (ND) via the Concentrator and Multiplexor Video
(CMV) and controlled by the Keyboard and Cursor Control Unit (KCCU)
and the EFIS control panel. The ND is used as a display unit and does
not make any computation on the OANS image, which is received by the
video input. The computation of the function is allocated to a dedicated
Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), which exchanges data with other systems
and generates two independent images to display respectively on ND
CAPT and ND F/O.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34P6OANS00001

The Airport Navigation image is generated by the Onboard Airport


Navigation Computer (OANC) using:
- airport data stored in the Airport data base,
- A/C data coming from data sources such as Flight Management System
(FMS), Air Data and Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU), or stored in the
LRU
- pilot data entries.

Control and Indicating
The OANS provides the flight crew with permanent knowledge of the
A/C location on the airport surface.
The fixed A/C symbol is displayed on an electronic moving airport map,
in three different display modes: ARC, NAV, and PLAN.
The function displays a set of information such as the name of displayed
airport, taxiways, runways, gates and important building, current ground
speed, and ground path (graphical and textual).
The onside EFIS control panel range selector (ZOOM position) enables
the display of the Airport Navigation image, on each ND.
The KCCU is used for direct interactivity with the Airport Navigation
image.

ATC XPDR Function
The ATC XPDR system replies to the ground station and other A/C
interrogations for altitude reporting and identification.
The ATC XPDR automatically replies to interrogations:
- from the ATC ground station for the air traffic surveillance,
- from an A/C with TCAS and/or mode S transponder, to fulfill the
traffic alert;
The AESS control panel controls the ATC XPDR. .
The XPDR data are displayed on MFD (SURV/CONTROL page).
The transponder code is selected on the RMP.

TCAS Function
The TCAS interrogates ATC equipped A/C in the vicinity. The TCAS
acquires the intruder parameters in order to give advisories. The TCAS
shows intruders relative altitude, relative bearing, and range.
TCAS data are displayed on the MFD and controlled by the AESS
control panel. In case of hazardous situation the system warns the
crew by a TCAS aural and visual message.

NAVIGATION SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE (1)


Navigation safety items
When you work on the navigation system, in particular on the weather
radar antenna, make sure that you obey all the AMM safety precautions.
This will prevent injury to persons and/or damage to the A/C.
Here is an overview of the main safety precautions relative to the
navigation system.
Before any maintenance operation, make sure that all persons are at 5
meters away from the antenna in an area made by an arc of 135. There
is a minimum safety distance of 60 meters between the antenna and any
refueling operation.
There is a minimum safety distance of 5 meters between the A/C and any
obstacle in the area made by an arc of 90.
On the A380, the weather radar antenna is accessible through the inside
of the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) compartment.
Before any maintenance operation in NLG compartment, NLG doors
must be secured.
Put on and attach a safety harness before you start working in the area.
The weather radar antenna assembly is heavy (13.64 kg).
