Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

Leveling, Symmetry and Alignment

Quick Leveling

There are three alternative procedures to level the aircraft:

Quick leveling procedure with Air Data/Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU).

Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the passenger compartment.

Quick leveling procedure with a spirit level in the FWD cargo compartment.

Precise Leveling

For precise leveling, it is necessary to install sighting rods in the receptacles located under the

fuselage (points 11 and 12 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).

Symmetry and Alignment Check

Possible deformation of the aircraft is measured by photogrammetry.

Jacking

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

Jacking for Maintenance

Aircraft Jacking Points for Maintenance

General

(1) The A320 can be jacked:

At not more than 59 000 kg (130 073 lb),

Within the limits of the permissible wind speed when the aircraft is not in a closed

environment.

Primary Jacking Points

(1) The aircraft is provided with three primary jacking points:

One located under the forward fuselage (FR8),

Two located under the wings (one under each wing, located at the intersection of RIB9

and the datum of the rear spar).

(2) Three jack adapters are used as intermediary parts between the aircraft and the jacks:

One male spherical jack adapter of 19 mm (0.75 in) radius, forming part of the aircraft

structure (FR8),

Two wing jack pads (one attached to each wing at RIB9 with 2 bolts) for the location

of the jack adaptor.

Wing jack pads are ground equipment.

Auxiliary Jacking Points (Safety Stay)

(1) When the aircraft is on jacks, it is recommended that a safety stay be placed under the

fuselage, between FR73 and FR74, to prevent tail tipping caused by accidental

displacement of the center of gravity.

(2) The safety stay must not be used to lift the aircraft.

(3) A male spherical ball pad with a 19 mm (0.75 in) radius, forming part of the aircraft

structure, is provided for using the safety stay.

Jacks and Safety Stay

A. Jack Design

(1) The maximum permitted loads given in the table in FIGURE 2-14-0-991-030-A are the

maximum loads applicable on jack fittings.

(2) In the fully retracted position (jack stroke at minimum), the height of the jack is such that

the jack may be placed beneath the aircraft in the most adverse conditions, namely, tires

deflated and shock absorbers depressurized. In addition, there must be a clearance of

approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) between the aircraft jacking point and the jack upper end.

Dec 01/20

@A320

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING

(3) The lifting jack stroke enables the aircraft to be jacked up so that the fuselage longitudinal

datum line (aircraft center line) is parallel to the ground, with a clearance of 100 mm (3.94

in) between the main landing gear wheels and the ground. This enables the landing gear

extension/retraction tests to be performed.

Shoring Cradles

When it is necessary to support the aircraft in order to relieve the loads on the structure to do

modifications or major work, shoring cradles shall be placed under each wing and the fuselage as

necessary.

NOTE : The aircraft must not be lifted or supported by the wings or fuselage alone without

adequate support of the other.

Jacking of the Landing Gear

General

Landing gear jacking will be required to lift the landing gear wheels off the ground.

NOTE : You can lift the aircraft at Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW).

NOTE : The load at each jacking position is the load required to give a 25.4 mm (1 in) clearance

between the ground and the tire.

**ON A/C A320-200

Main Gear Jacking (Twin Wheel)

The main gears are normally jacked up by placing a jack directly under the ball pad.

The ball spherical radius is 19 mm (0.75 in).

It is also possible to jack the main gear using a cantilever jack.

The reactions at each of the jacking points are shown in the table, see FIGURE 2-14-0-991-060-A.

The ball spherical radius is 19 mm (0.75 in).

The leading dimensions and environmental distances of these jacking points are shown on FIGURE

2-14-0-991-048-A, FIGURE 2-14-0-991-049-A and FIGURE 2-14-0-991-050-A.

The reactions at each of the jacking points are shown in the table, see FIGURE 2-14-0-991-060-A.

Nose Gear Jacking

For nose gear jacking, a 19 mm (0.75 in) radius ball pad is fitted under the lower end of the shock-

absorber sliding tube. Jacking can be accomplished either by placing a jack directly under the ball

pad, or using an adapter fitting provided with an identical ball pad.

The reactions at each of the jacking points are shown in the table, see FIGURE 2-14-0-991-060-A.

Aerodrome Reference Code

For A320-200:

If the aircraft take-off weight is less than or equal to 73 500 kg (162 040 lb), the aircraft is

classified as code 3C as per ICAO Aerodrome Reference Code.

If the aircraft take-off weight is more than 73 500 kg (162 040 lb), the aircraft is classified as

code 4C as per ICAO Aerodrome Reference Code.

A320neo is classified as code 3C as per ICAO Aerodrome Reference Code.

Final Approach Speed

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

Final Approach Speed

This section provides the final approach speed. It is defined as the indicated airspeed at threshold in

the landing configuration, at the certificated maximum flap setting and Maximum Landing Weight

(MLW), in standard atmospheric conditions. The approach speed is used to classify the aircraft into

an Aircraft Approach Category, a grouping of aircraft based on the indicated airspeed at threshold.

**ON A/C A320-200

The final approach speed is 136 kt at a MLW of 66 000 kg (145 505 lb) and classifies the aircraft

into the Aircraft Approach Category C.

NOTE : This value is given for information only.

**ON A/C A320neo

The final approach speed is 131.5 kt at a MLW of 67 400 kg (148 592 lb) and classifies the aircraft

into the Aircraft Approach Category C.

NOTE : This value is given for information only.

General Information

**ON A/C A320-200 A320neo

General Information

This section provides aircraft 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 a guideline for the method of determination of such parameters and for the

maneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.

In 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 a high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should

be coordinated with the airlines in question prior to layout planning.
