Operating Modes
In the normal mode, to operate the cockpit door from the cockpit, the
D-Ring must be lifted and turned through 90.
To operate the cockpit door from the cabin in normal mode:
- the '#' P/B or a zero to seven digit code must be typed on the keypad
(depends on the airliner policy),
- the buzzer operates for a minimum of 2 seconds,
- a white LED comes ON on the keypad.
If the flight crew gives the access to the cockpit (toggle switch to
UNLOCK), the green LED on the keypad comes on and the door can be
opened.
If the flight crew does not give the access (toggle switch not operated to
LOCK), the red light on the keypad will come on and the door stays
locked. The access to the cockpit will be possible only after a
pre-determined period (keypad inactive) or by the flight crew operating
the toggle switch to UNLOCK.
If there is no reaction of the cockpit, door remains locked. In this case
the cabin crew can decide an emergency access procedure
To operate the cokpit door from the cabin in the emergency mode:
- a four digit security-code must be typed and then the '#' P/B must be
pressed,
- the buzzer operates continuously,

- on the cockpit door panel, the OPEN light comes on amber and on the
keypad, the green LED flashes.
If there is no flight crew action on the cockpit door panel (toggle switch
in NORM position), after a set period, the green LED comes ON, on the
keypad and the door unlocks for 5 seconds.
In the lower part of the door (cabin side), an evacuation flap allows a
rapid pressure release in the cockpit, if decompression occurs in the cabin.

Cockpit Windows
Windows Cleaning
The cockpit windows are:
- the left and right windshields,
- the fixed windows and,
- the sliding windows.
The cockpit windows have to be cleaned with approved agents as
defined in standard practices. The product is applied with circular
movements on the entire surface.
Sliding Windows System
The opening/closing mechanism is composed of:
- an upper and lower rails,
- four locking pins (hooks),
- a rack,
- a handle.
The handle is located on the lower part of the sliding frame; it is the
single device to operate the window.
Pushing the pushbutton on the handle unlocks and opens the sliding
window. By turning the handle towards the inside of the cockpit lets
the complete opening of the window. This disengages the latches from
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM30DULEVEL0201
the locking pins and frees the sliding window from its frame. When
the handle end-of-travel is reached, pull the handle rearwards to let
the sliding window move aft.
When the sliding window is open, push the pushbutton to unlock the
rack and to close the window. By pushing the handle forwards lets
the sliding window move forward. Then turning the handle towards
the outside of the cockpit engages the latches in the locking pins and
locks the sliding window in the closed position.

COCKPIT WINDOWS - WINDOWS CLEANING & SLIDING WINDOWS SYSTEM

Windshield Wiper System
The system is composed of two independent sub-systems: one for the
CAPT windshield and one for the F/O windshield.
Each sub-system comprises:
- a wiper arm and his blade,
- a two speeds electrical motor and his converter,
- a WIPER control switch.
The WIPER control switch has three positions:
- FAST,
- SLOW and,
- OFF corresponding to the parking position.
The motor is powered with 115 VAC. Each motor converter integrates
an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which does the monitoring function
of the wiper system. Through the TEST output of the related Anti-Ice
Control Unit (AICU), each sub-system can be tested. In case of an internal
electronic failure or motor overheat, the ECU stops the motor and sends
a signal to its related AICU. The arm/blade junction is made in such way
that the blade is removable without removing the arm.
NOTE: CAPT system shown as an example.

WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM

Rain Repellent System CAUTION: - BE CAREFUL TO CORROSIVE FLUID; MAKE SURE
THAT THE FLUID DOES NOT STAY ON THE
The rain repellent system is composed of:
AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE.
- one rain-repellent fluid can assembly,
- one gage assembly,
- one blowout reservoir,
- two solenoid valves,
- two purge check valves,
- one test check valve,
- two spray nozzles.
The can and gage assembly are installed in the main avionics
compartment, on the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) bay structure. The can
assembly contains the rain repellent fluid, FORALKYL 2211, and is
pressurized with nitrogen. The can assembly is directly installed on the
gage assembly.
The gage assembly has a transparent fluid reservoir, which shows the
level of the remaining fluid level. The rain repellent fluid is sprayed either
on the right or left windshield through two separated circuits. The system
is operated by 2 separated RAIN RePeLleNT P/BSWs.
When the RAIN RPLNT P/BSW is pushed, the solenoid valve of the
related system releases the fluid to the spray nozzle consisting of one
cycle. When the system does not operate, the air conditioning system
continuously supplies pressurized hot air. The hot air goes to the spray
nozzles through the blowout reservoir and the check valves. This allows
the purge of the lines and prevents the spray nozzles from clogging.
When the can assembly is fully empty, the gage assembly sends a discrete
output signal to the AICU 1, which generates a message for indication
on the ECAM DOOR/OXYGEN page. In this case, the can assembly
must be replaced by a new one.

Checks
Batteries
DC generation monitoring and indicating are done by means of:
- one voltmeter located on the BAT section of the cockpit overhead
panel (1255VM), which indicates the voltage of the four batteries
(BAT1, BAT2, BAT ESS, BAT APU) to the crew members.
- the ECAM, on which the electrical parameters concerning the four
batteries, the 3 TRs, the 3 BCRUs and the DC bus bars are displayed.
Battery voltage above 25.5 V, ensures a charge above 50 % at least.
If battery voltage is below 25.5 V, a charging cycle of approximately
20 minutes is required.
NOTE: Note: after 5 minutes with the aircraft electrical network

supplied by batteries only, the ground horn sounds.
Static Inverter
The STAT INV is used to supply the AC EMER BUS when the main
batteries are the only source of supply onboard the A/C. The STAT
INV transforms DC power from BAT 1, and from ESS BAT, into 115
VAC power at a constant frequency of 400 Hz.
The monitoring and indicating of the STAT INV are done by means
of the ECAM system.

Power Distribution Maintenance Interface
Architecture
The power distribution maintenance interface allows the maintenance
crew to monitor and control (open, secure, tag and close) the various
remote protective devices installed in the PEPDC, the SEPDCs, the
SPDBs and the emergency power center through CPIOM-E1.
Via two redundant Power Distribution Maintenance Computers
(PDMC) and two Power Distribution Control Systems (PDCS) hosted
in the OMS, the power distribution maintenance interface interconnects
with:
- all C/Bs (whatever their location) and electromechanical RCCBs (in
the emergency electrical power distribution center) which are manually
controlled. The PDMC receives their status but cannot change it,
- the electronic programmable RCCBs (in the PEPDC) and SSPCs
(in the SEPDCs and SPDBs) which are remotely controlled. The
PDMC receives their status and can change them, according to
maintenance operator request, via the OMT or two OITs located in
the flight deck, or via a Portable Multipurpose Access Terminal
(PMAT) at various access connections in the aircraft.

(HMIs) composed of two OITs, the OMT and the PMAT.
PDMC power supplies is available on ground only:
- a power supply relay must be closed by a "low airspeed" discrete
from Air Data and Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) 3 (for PDMC 1)
or ADIRU 1 (for PDMC 2).
- the REMOTE C/B CTL P/BSW on the ELEC section of overhead
panel (1255VM), must be "ON" (white legend comes on) to connect
a power supply to either PDMC.
NOTE: Note: the REMOTE C/B CTL P/BSW is for on ground use
only, by maintenance personnel and should be reset to the
normal position (ON legend not lighted on) as part of a
"close-up" maintenance procedure, before the aircraft is
released for flight.
The PDMCs are supplied as follows:
- PDMC 1 with 115 VAC from AC BUS 1 and 28 VDC from DC
BUS 1,
- PDMC 2 with 115 VAC from AC BUS 3 and 28 VDC from HOT
BUS 2.
NOTE: Note: the PDMCs use AC power in priority.

In normal power mode:
- both PDMCs are supplied from an AC busbar,
- PEPDC, SEPDC1, SEPDC2 and SPDBs are supplied,
- CPIOM-E1 is supplied,
- both OITs and the OMT are supplied.

control the protective devices.
In reduced power mode:
- only PDMC 2 is supplied from the DC HOT BUS 2 (the redundant
PDMC is not powered),
- The PEPDC, SEPDC1 and SEPDC2 are supplied from a DC bus
bar,
- SPDBs and CPIOM-Es are not supplied.
In this mode, the power distribution maintenance interface functions
are:
- C/Bs and RCCBs monitoring and RCCBs control in PEPDC,
- SSPCs monitoring and control in SEPDCs.
The power distribution maintenance interface allows control and
monitoring of the RCCB and SSPC status, when A/C is cold:
- to check the A/C configuration before re-powering the A/C,
- to tag the protection device if an equipment is removed,
Access to the PDCS is done through the F/O OIT.

Circuit Breakers and Resets Summary
Control
For circuit protection and control, various protection circuit devices
are used on the A/C:
Reset C/Bs
The reset C/Bs are installed on the RESET panels (1231VM and
1222VM). on top of the cockpit overhead panel
The reset C/Bs do not cut the power supply but trigger a hardware
reset to their respective computer.
Conventional Circuit Breakers
Classical C/Bs are found in some places. Green ones are monitored
on the ECAM, black ones are not monitored.
Conventional Electromechanical RCCB (in EEPDC)
The RCCBs are used for heavy currents on some systems. The
non-programmable ones include reset button on their front face.
Tripping or resetting the C/B, which supplies the RCCB internal relay
coil change the conventional RCCB status.
Programmable Electronic RCCB
The RCCBs are used for heavy currents on some systems. These
electronic protective devices cannot be manually manipulated and
require power to operate. In order to display their status and command
them, the procedure is implemented electronically via the power
distribution maintenance interface.
SSPC
Many systems are supplied through SSPCs. They are reset and
manipulated through the PDCS application via the HMIs.

CLOCK SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (2)

General
The clock displays the time in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). It
has a Chronometer (CHR), and a function to measure the Elapsed Time
(ET). In addition, the clock can display the date.
The Clock is electrically-supplied by the 28VDC from the DC ESS BUS
and the HOT BUS ESS through two C/Bs (installed in 2501VU and
2502VU):
NOTE: Note: if only the +28VDC battery bus supplies the clock, the
time and date will not be displayed, but the clock will continue
to operate.
The Clock has two operating modes:
- the GPS mode which is the normal mode. In this mode, the clock time
is synchronized with the GPS.
- the INT mode. In this mode, the clock internally computes the time,
and its time-reference is not synchronized by the GPS.
The time and date can be set by turning the operating mode selector to
SET.
Turning clockwise or counterclockwise will increment or decrement
minutes/hours/year/month/day.
NOTE: Note: when the operating mode selector is set to INT, the Clock
starts and the seconds appear as "00".
On the overhead panel, when the ANNunciator LighT switch is on TEST
position, all displays show eight.

GENERAL

Cockpit Voice Recorder System
The CVR system records the conversations and audio communications
of the crew, and the data link communications. This recorded information
is used to help in investigations after an A/C accident or incident.
The CVR system is mainly composed of:
- a CVR,
- a CVR CU, installed on the overhead panel,
- a cockpit area microphone.
The CVR is supplied with 115 VAC from the AC ESSential BUS.
The CVR CU is supplied with 28 VDC from DC ESS BUS.
On ground, pressing the RCDR GND CTL P/BSW (installed on the
1211VM) can manually energize the CVR.
This manual mode allows pre-flight checklist recording and
maintenance/test operations.
The CVR system test on ground consists in pushing the TEST pushbutton
and then to release it so as to be able to listen the tone that indicates that
the CVR is operational.
This 600 Hz tone can be listened through a boomset plugged to the CVR
CU.
To permit the CVR to be in recording phase, the RCDR GND CTL
P/BSW must be pressed back to AUTO mode.
The audio recording can be manually erased on ground with the park
break set, by pressing during 2 seconds the CVR ERASE P/B (installed
on the CVR CU).
The CVR in return confirms good erasure of audio by providing a 400
Hz tone during 0.5 seconds.

AIRBUS MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY DESCRIPTION (2)

Tool Overview
For the A380 there are three interconnected maintenance tools:
- the Onboard Maintenance System (OMS),
- the e-Logbook available on board, or on the ground through AIRcraft
Maintenance ANalysis (AIRMAN),
- on the ground, AIRMAN is the main link with the two others.
The data exchange between these three tools can be either automatic (real
time or deferred) or manual.
The first entry for the A380 maintenance action should be AIRMAN,
because A/C data are available on AIRMAN before A/C arrival.

AIRMAN - GATE MAINTENANCE ... MAIN BENEFITS

Onboard Maintenance System
The OMS is composed of several sub-systems:
- the Central Maintenance System (CMS),
- the Data Loading and Configuration System (DLCS),
- the Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS),
- the e-Logbook,
- the documentation,
- the Power Distribution Control System (PDCS).
ONBOARD MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

e-Logbook
The objectives of the e-Logbook are:
- to improve trouble shooting efficiency (standard reporting gives more
clarity, automatic link to the documentation, automatic link to OMS data),
- to suppress handwritten logbook capture costs,
- to make technical data more consistent and clear,
- to improve logbook reporting.
There are three profiles to access the e-Logbook:
- flight crew,
- cabin crew,
- maintenance.
On ground the e-Logbook data are synchronized with AIRMAN.
E-LOGBOOK

Maintenance Scenario
The e-Logbook is either in flight crew or maintenance hands.
In flight:
- the OMS transmits in real time the A/C data to AIRMAN. So the
maintenance can be prepared,
- the pilots enter the defects in the e-Logbook.
On the ground:
- when the flight is closed by the pilots, the e-Logbook is synchronized
with the ground,
- the maintenance actions are done by using the e-logbook, AIRMAN
and the OMS.

CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (2)

Architecture / Power Supply
The flight crew oxygen system has three sections:
- the oxygen storage,
- the oxygen distribution and,
- the oxygen control and indicating.
The flight crew oxygen is stored in a high-pressure oxygen cylinder.
This cylinder is installed in the upper emergency electronic bay and
placed in a cradle.
The oxygen is supplied to the flight crew stations through a distribution
circuit, which is as follows:
- high pressure is reduced to low pressure by the pressure
reducer/transmitter,
- low pressure oxygen flows via the low pressure supply valve to the
distribution manifold from where the mask stowage boxes in the cockpit
are supplied.
Each mask stowage box has a full face quick donning mask.
A PBSW,installed on the overhead panel (1211VM), is used to open or
close the low-pressure supply valve.
Status of the flight crew oxygen system (oxygen supply, oxygen pressure
in the cylinder, high pressure or low pressure warnings) is indicated on
the DOOR/OXY page of the ECAM system display.
High Pressure (HP) and Low Pressure (LP) oxygen circuits are discharged
overboard in case of overpressure.
The Oxygen System Control Unit (OSCU) and the LP supply valve are
supplied by the 28VDC (DC ESS BUS).
MAINTENANCE COURSE - T1 & T2 (RR / Metric) CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (2) Apr 18, 2006
ARCHITECTURE / POWER SUPPLY

Operational Tests
On the stowage box when pressed, the PRESS TO TEST AND RESET
pushbutton either tests, or resets, the oxygen system:
- if the mask has not been taken out of the stowage box (OXY ON flag
not visible), this P/BSW tests the oxygen system.
When it is pressed the oxygen supplies the mask, thus the oxygen flow
indicator will be yellow for a few seconds and the mask microphone is
active,
- if the mask has been taken out of the stowage box and re-stowed (OXY
ON) flag visible), this P/BSW resets the oxygen system. Therefore the
oxygen supply to the stowage box is cut off, the mask microphone is
deactivated and the OXY ON flag disappears.
On the full-face/quick-donning mask:
- when the inflation control plates are pressed together, the harness inflates
and when they are released the harness deflates,
- the emergency rotation knob provides overpressure (permanently when
it is turned or temporary when it is pressed),
- the N/100% selector provides a mixture of ambient air from the cockpit
and oxygen when it is on the N position; at 100% the mask supplies 100%
of pure oxygen.
The test of the full-face/quick-donning mask is carried out in situ (mask
stowed in the box), by means of:

- Radio Management Panel (RMP) with the INT/RAD switch on INT
and loudspeakers to ON to hear the oxygen flow,
- the PRESS TO TEST AND RESET pushbutton on the stowage box,
- the EMERGENCY rotation knob.
This test is performed to make sure that the distribution of oxygen through
the mask and the integrated microphone are operational.
OPERATIONAL TESTS

Stowage
Proper stowing of the mask is essential for quick and efficient donning
of the mask and to prevent leak.
STEP 1
Coil the hose that is connected to the mask, and put it into the bottom of
the stowage box.
STEP 2
Fold the harness, and put it into the mask
STEP 3
Put the mask into the stowage box.
Make sure that the mask:
- touches the bottom of the stowage box,
- N / 100% set is face up, and at the 100% position
STEP 4
Close the doors of the mask stowage box.
Firmly press the PRESS TO TEST AND RESET P/B.
When released, check that the OXY ON flag disappears.
Press the EMERGENCY selector, and check that the oxygen flow
indicator remains black.
NOTE: Note: At the end of the re-stowing operation, do the: IN SITU

programmed in the Oxygen System Control Unit (OSCU) depending on
the maximum number of cockpit occupants, the number of oxygen
cylinders installed, and the intended operation of the A/C).
P2 (Cockpit Minimum Pressure):
Oxygen cylinder pressure to protect 2 cockpit occupants covering
depressurization and toxic gases/smoke emissions (15 minutes oxygen
supply) depending on the intended operation of the A/C.
When the pressure is between P1 and P2 (first threshold), the half box is
displayed in amber (the digits remain green).
When P is lower than P2 (second threshold, meaning that the crew oxygen
is lower than minimum pressure), the cockpit indication is displayed in
amber (the digits become amber as well).

In addition, the caution OXY CKPT BOTTLE PRESS LO is displayed
on ECAM E/WD.
Average temperature compensated cylinder pressures are displayed
separately for crew and passenger system

Discharge Indicator
The high-pressure safety outlet on the oxygen cylinder head, and the
low-pressure safety outlet on the pressure reducer/transmitter are
connected to a discharge indicator on the fuselage skin.
The discharge indicator is a green blowout disc that can be seen from
outside of the A/C.
This disc will blow out at a pressure of 3.5 barg to show a yellow
indicator.
This indicates there has been a discharge of oxygen.
