4-1-0 General Information
**ON A/C A340-200 A340-300
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 thegeometry 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 shouldonly be used as guidelines for the method of determination of such parameters and for themaneuvering characteristics of this aircraft type.
In the ground operating mode, varying airline practices may demand that more conservative turningprocedures be adopted to avoid excessive tire wear and reduce possible maintenance problems. Airlineoperating techniques will vary in the level of performance, over a wide range of operatingcircumstances throughout the world. Variations from standard aircraft operating patterns may benecessary to satisfy physical constraints within the maneuvering area, such as adverse grades, limitedarea or high risk of jet blast damage. For these reasons, ground maneuvering requirements should becoordinated with the using airlines prior to layout planning.

Preconditioned Airflow Requirements
1. This section gives the preconditioned airflow requirements for cabin air conditioning.
The total airflow must be not more than 3.232 kg/s. If the total airflow is more than this value, itwill be more than the capacity of the outflow valve in the fully open position and a cabin overpressureof more than 2 mbar will occur.
Other Filling capacities and characteristics (hydraulic, electrical, oxygen, fuel, oil, water, toilet) areshown in chapter 5-4.

5-8-0 Ground Towing Requirements
**ON A/C A340-200 A340-300
Ground Towing Requirements
1. This section provides information on aircraft towing.
The A340 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 idlethrust, using a tow bar attached to the nose gear leg (refer to AMM chapter 9 for conditions andlimitations). One tow bar fitting is installed at the front of the leg (optional towing fitting for towingfrom the rear of the NLG available).The Main Landing Gears have attachment points for towing or debogging (for details refer to chapter7 of the Aircraft Recovery Manual).
- The first part of this section shows the chart to determine the draw bar pull and tow tractormass requirements as function of the following physical characteristics:- aircraft weight- slope- number of engines at idle
The following chart is applicable to both A340-200 and -300 aircraft.
- The second part of this section supplies guidelines for the tow bar.
Note: information on aircraft towing procedures and corresponding aircraft limitations are given inchapter 9 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
2. Towbar design guidelines
The aircraft towbar shall respect the following norms:- SAE AS 1614, ”Main Line Aircraft Tow Bar Attach Fitting Interface”- SAE ARP1915 Revision C, ”Aircraft Tow Bar”- ISO 8267-1, ”Aircraft - Tow bar attachment fitting - Interface requirements - Part 1: Main line
aircraft”- ISO 9667, ”Aircraft ground support equipment - Tow bars”- IATA Airport Handling Manual AHM 958, ”Functional Specification for an Aircaft Towbar”
A conventional type tow bar is required which should be equipped with a damping system to protectthe nose gear against jerks and with towing shear pins :- A traction shear pin calibrated at 28 620 daN (64 340 lbf)- A torsion pin calibrated at 3 130 m.daN (277 028 lbf.in)
5-8-0Page 1
Jan 01/12
@A340-200/-300AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS FOR AIRPORT PLANNING
The towing head is designed according to SAE/AS 1614 (issue C) cat. III.
There is a variety of shear pin arrangements and the values of the shear pins depend on them. Wehereafter show two arrangements classically used on towbars.

EXAMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE MASS REQUIREMENT TO TOW A A340−200 OR −300 AT 270 t, 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 (270 t),− FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUIRED SLOPE PERCENTAGE (1.5%),− FROM THIS POINT OBTAINED DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE UNTIL NO OF ENGINES AT IDLE = 4,− FROM THIS POINT DRAW A PARALLEL LINE TO THE REQUESTED NUMBER OF ENGINES (1),− FROM THIS POINT DRAW A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE TO THE DRAWBAR PULL AXIS,− THE Y−COORDINATE OBTAINED IS THE NECESSARY DRAWBAR PULL FOR THE TRACTOR (21.3 t),− SEARCH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE "WET CONCRETE" LINE. THE OBTAINED X−COORDINATE IS THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT (37.3 t).

General Information
1. General Information
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 airplane configuration is shownwith a minimum range of five loads on the main landing gear.
All curves on the charts represent data at a constant specified tire pressure with:- the airplane loaded to the maximum ramp weight- the CG at its maximum permissible aft position.
Pavement requirements for commercial airplanes are derived from the static analysis of loads imposedon the main landing gear struts.
Section 7-2-0 presents basic data on the landing gear footprint configuration, maximum ramp weightsand tire sizes and pressures.
Section 7-3-0 shows the maximum vertical and horizontal pavement loads for certain criticalconditions at the tire-ground interfaces.
Section 7-4-1 contains charts to find these loads throughout the stability limits of the airplane at reston the pavement.
These main landing gear loads are used as the point of entry to the pavement design charts, whichfollow, interpolating load values where necessary.
How the main landing gear load is distributed to the wing and center gears is shown on Section7-4-3.All Load Classification Number (LCN) curves shown in Section 7-6-1 and Section 7-8-2 have beendeveloped from a computer program based on data provided in International Civil AviationOrganisation (ICAO) document 7920-AN/865/2, Aerodrome Manual, Part 2, ”Aerodrome PhysicalCharacteristics”, Second Edition, 1965, interpolating load values where necessary.
The flexible pavement charts in Section 7-6-1 show LCN against equivalent single wheel load, andequivalent single wheel load against pavement thickness.
7-1-0Page 1
Jan 01/12
@A340-200/-300AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS FOR AIRPORT PLANNING
The rigid pavement charts in Section 7-8-2 shown LCN against equivalent single wheel load, andequivalent single wheel load against radius of relative stiffness.
Section 7-9-0 provides ACN data prepared according to the ACN/PCN system as referenced in ICAOAnnex 14, ”Aerodromes”, Volume 1 Third Edition July 1999, incorporating Amendments 1 to 3.
The ACN/PCN system provides a standardized international airplane/pavement rating systemreplacing 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 ClassificationNumber.
An aircraft having an ACN equal to or less than the PCN can operate without restriction on thepavement.
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.
Computationally the ACN/PCN the system uses PCA program PDILB for rigid pavements and S-77-1for flexible pavements to calculate ACN values. The Airport Authority must decide on the method ofpavement analysis and the results of their evaluation shown as follows:
PCNPAVEMENT
TYPESUBGRADECATEGORY
TIRE PRESSURE CATEGORY EVALUATION METHOD
R -- Rigid A -- High W -- No Limit T -- Technical
F -- Flexible B -- Medium X -- To 1.5 Mpa (217 psi) U -- Using Aircraft
C -- Low Y -- To 1.0 Mpa (145 psi)
D -- Ultra Low Z -- To 0.5 Mpa (73 psi)
Section 7-9-1 shows the aircraft ACN values 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
Section 7-9-2 shows the aircraft ACN for rigid pavements.
7-1-0Page 2
Jan 01/12
@A340-200/-300AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS FOR AIRPORT PLANNING
The four subgrade categories are:- A. High Strength Subgrade k = 150 MN/m3 (550 pci)- B. Medium Strength Subgrade k = 80 MN/m3 (300 pci)- C. Low Strength Subgrade k = 40 MN/m3 (150 pci)- D. Ultra Low Strength Subgrade k = 20 MN/m3 (75 pci)
A. Flexible Pavement
Section 7-5-1 uses procedures in Instruction Report No S-77-1 ”Procedures for Development ofCBR Design Curves”, dated June 1977 and as modified according to the methods described inICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3.
Pavements, 2nd Edition, 1983, Section 1.1 (The ACN-PCN Method), and utilizing the alphafactors 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 Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).
The procedure that follows is used to develop flexible pavement design curves such as thoseshown in Section 7-5-1.- With the scale for pavement thickness at the bottom and the scale for CBR at the top, an
arbitrary line is drawn representing 10 000 coverages.- Incremental values of the weight on the main landing gear are then plotted.- Annual departure lines are drawn based on the load lines of the weight on the main landing
gear that is shown on the graph.
B. Rigid pavement
Section 7-7-1 gives the rigid pavement design curves that have been prepared with the use ofthe Westergaard Equation. This is in general accordance with the procedures outlined in thePortland Cement Association publications, ”Design of Concrete Airport Pavement”, 1973 and”Computer Program for Airport Pavement Design”, (Program PDILB), 1967 both by Robert G.Packard.
The procedure that follows is used to develop rigid pavement design curves such as those shownin Section 7-7-1.- With the scale for pavement thickness on the left and the scale for allowable working stress
on the right, an arbitrary line load line is drawn. This represents the main landing gearmaximum weight to be shown.

- All values of the subgrade modulus (k values) are then plotted.- Additional load lines for the incremental values of weight on the main landing gear are
drawn on the basis of the curve for k = 80 MN/m3 already shown on the graph.

Flexible Pavement Requirements - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Design Method
**ON A/C A340-300
1. General
To find a Flexible Pavement Thickness, the Subgrade Strength (CBR), the Annual Departure Leveland the weight on one Main Landing must be known.
In the example shown in Section 7-5-1, Figure: Flexible Pavement Requirements - MTOW 253 500 kg- A340-300- A ”CBR” value of 10- An Annual Departure Level of 3 000- And the load on one Main Landing Gear of 80 000 kg (176 370 lb)- The required Flexible Thickness is 50 cm (20 inches).
The line showing 10 000 Coverages is used to calculate Aircraft Classification Number (ACN).

Flexible Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
**ON A/C A340-300
1. General
In order to determine the airplane weight that can be accommodated on a particular FlexiblePavement, both the LCN of the pavement and the thickness (h) must be known.
In the example shown in Section 7-6-1, Figure: Flexible Pavement Requirements LCN - MTOW 253500 kg - A340-300
The thickness ”h” is shown at 762 mm (30 in.) with an LCN of 94.
For these conditions the weight on one Main Landing Gear is 90 000 kg (198 416 lb).

Rigid Pavement Requirements - Portland Cement Association Design Method
**ON A/C A340-300
1. General
To determine a Rigid Pavement Thickness, the Subgrade Modulus (k), the allowable working stressand the weight on one Main Landing Gear must be known.
In the example shown in Section 7-7-1, Figure: Rigid Pavement Requirements - MTOW 253 500 kg -A340-300- a ”k” value of 150 MN/m3 (550 lb/in3)- an allowable working stress of 39 kg/cm2 (550 lb/in2)- the load on one Main Landing Gear of 80 000 kg (176 370 lb) the required Rigid Pavement
Thickness is 22 cm (8.6 inches).

Rigid Pavement Requirements - LCN Conversion
**ON A/C A340-300
1. General
In order to determine the airplane weight that can be accommodated on a particular Rigid Pavement,both the LCN of the pavement and the Radius of Relative Stiffness (L) must be known.
In the example shown in Section 7-8-2, Figure: Rigid Pavement Requirements LCN - MTOW 253 500kg - A340-300
The Radius of Relative Stiffness is shown at 1016 mm (40 in.) with an LCN of 83.
For these conditions the weight on one Main Landing Gear is 90 000 kg (198 416 lb).

7-8-3 Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of E and L)
**ON A/C A340-200 A340-300
Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of ”E” and ”L”)
1. General
The table of Chapter 7-8-1, Figure: Radius of Relative Stiffness, presents ”L” values based onYoung’s Modulus (E) of 4 000 000 psi and Poisson’s Ratio (µ) of 0.15.
To find ”L” values based on other values of ”E” and ”µ”.See Section 7-8-4, Figure: Radius of Relative Stiffness (Other values of ”E” and ”µ”).
For example, to find an ”L” value based on an ”E” of 3 000 000 psi, the ”E” factor of 0.931 ismultiplied by the ”L” value found in table of Section 7-8-1, Figure: Radius of Relative Stiffness.
The effect of variations of ”µ” on the ”L” value is treated in a similar manner.

**ON A/C A340-200 A340-300
ACN/PCN Reporting System - Flexible and Rigid Pavements
**ON A/C A340-300
1. General
To find the ACN of an aircraft on flexible or rigid pavement, the aircraft gross weight and thepavement strength must be known.
In the example shown in Section 7-9-1, Figure: Aircraft Classification Number - Flexible Pavement -MTOW 253 500 kg - A340-300- For an Aircraft Gross Weight of 200 000 kg (440 925 lb) and low subgrade strength (code C),
the ACN for the flexible pavement is 47.
In the example shown in Section 7-9-2, Figure: Aircraft Classification Number - Rigid Pavement -MTOW 253 500 kg - A340-300- For an Aircraft Gross Weight of 200 000 kg (440 925 lb) and low subgrade strength (code C),
the ACN for the rigid pavement is 47.
NOTE : An aircraft with an ACN equal to or less than the reported PCN can operate on thatpavement, subject to any limitation on the tire pressure.(Ref: ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 3, Chapter 1, Second Edition 1983).
