The Aircraft A319/320/321 Family The A320 Family has become the world's fastest selling jetliner family. In a decade of innovation and progress, perhaps more than any other, it is the airliner that has set new standards. By the 1980s, airlines needed a more competitive single-aisle aircraft. Twenty years of technological advance, a vastly changed travel environment, and the need for improved comfort standards, called for an all-new design and not just derivatives of 1960's designs. The A320 Family met the challenge. Four models (A318, A319, A320 and A321) cover the 100 to 220-seat market with one family - more than any competitor can. All A320 Family aircraft have same optimized single-aisle cross-section. The wider cabin interior provides the passenger-acclaimed space and convenience that has changed the standard for passenger comfort on domestic and regional routes in single-aisle aircraft. Each aircraft in the A320 Family is available with a choice of engines. The A319, A320 and A321 can be powered either by CFM International CFM56 or by International Aero Engines V2500 engines. The A318 offers a choice between the Pratt & Whitney PW6000 and the CFM56 engine. By increasing revenue and reducing cost, A320 Family operators gain the competitive advantage - because it's the world's most profitable single-aisle family - ever. The A320 Family has become the world's fastest selling jetliner family. In a decade of innovation and progress, perhaps more than any other, it is the airliner that has set new standards. Airlines get a wider family choice to optimally match their fleet mix to a varied route and traffic structure. They can switch aircraft between routes and markets, according to changing travel trends and seasonal, even daily, traffic variations and all with seamless comfort and performance standards. Maximizing family benefits is a paramount design objective because the benefits to airlines can be so powerful. All A320 Family aircraft share advantages for the customer. They have the same optimized single-aisle cross-section. The cabin interiors provide passenger-acclaimed comfort levels with configurations for wide seats/standard aisle or standard seats/wide aisle. In the A319, A320 and A321 they offer room enough in the underfloor holds to

accommodate LD3-46W containers. For pilots, the Same Type Rating applies to all four aircraft. The same engineers can maintain all four aircraft. The A320 Family also offers the uniquely valuable Flight Operational Commonality with the A330/A340 Family of widebody aircraft. This attribute leads to significant cost savings in crew training and greater flexibility of scheduling on mixed short- and long-haul operations. The flight deck design that was launched by the A320 in 1984 introduced digital fly-by-wire for primary flight controls and sidesticks to commercial flight decks. The fly-by-wire technology that had matured for commercial operation by the 1980s has become the new standard for the crew-friendly environment of the future. Now the basis for A330 / A340 flight decks as well, it is the common design for half or more (1999 sales figures) of all newly ordered airliners. Fly-By-Wire and Sidestick Reflecting its fly-by-wire advantages, the A320 Family flight deck entirely lacks the cumbersome, old-generation control columns of its competitors. Instead, it has the neat and simple sidesticks which pilots find so easy to use. Additional benefits are an unobstructed view of the instrument panel and a slide-out working table in front of each pilot. Fly-By-Wire Benefits The Airbus fly-by-wire system offers significant tangible benefits in terms of greater safety, through unconstrained control input freedom within the flight envelope, and protection against exceedence of operating limits, stalling, overspeeding or overstressing the aircraft outside the envelope. To these can be added windshear protection, reduced pilot workload, lower costs and improved aircraft performance. It makes a major contribution to reducing maintenance costs by eliminating much of the complex mechanical system of cables, pulleys and associated gear which need post maintenance rigging work and checks. ECAM and EFIS Screen Displays Gone are the dozens of round instrument dials, now replaced by just six CRT screen displays. All six screens are fully display/function interchangeable and there are electro-mechanical instruments as back-up. Four screens, two in front of each pilot, form the Electronic Flight Instrument System, while two central screens are the display part of the Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor (ECAM).

Four screens, two in front of each pilot, perform Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) functions. The outboard screens - Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) - carry data on a range of parameters including speed, altitude, aircraft attitude and heading. Current status of the Flight Management System (FMS) is also shown. The inboard Navigation Display (ND) screens show data on the aircraft’s position and course. These may be displayed in selectable modes: Arc, Rose ILS, Rose VOR or Plan. Two screens in the centre of the main instrument panel display information derived from the ECAM whose sensors throughout the aircraft keep systems under constant surveillance. The upper and lower screens - both manually and automatically - show engine and systems parameters and warnings. Centre Pedestal Control and Display Units Multipurpose Control and Display Units (MCDUs) are located on the central control pedestal. In addition to accessing the Flight Management System (FMS), these provide systems maintenance data in the air and on the ground. Failure messages can be printed out for later action or they can be transmitted ahead during flight to give advance warning of problems. If baggage and cargo had voices, they would be saying the same as passengers about the A320 Family – it is Setting new Standards. Resulting from its superior cross-section, the A320 Family offers major advantages in baggage handling and freight loading. Access to underfloor holds is by large, outward-opening doors which avoid reducing available volume inside the hold. They give protection during operations in bad weather, helping to reduce damage to baggage and freight. Inside the holds, baggage handlers appreciate the greater working height and a wider area of flat floor. They increase efficiency and reduce the risk of employee injury, an increasing concern in many parts of the world.

Ease of loading and unloading freight is helped by installing any one of the four freight loading systems – a choice offered only on the A320 Family. Containerized or palletized freight, using units with the same base dimensions as widebody load devices, can be handled by installing the Container Loading System – which again is offered only on the A320 Family. *In addition to all-bulk loading, there are four choices: • all container/pallet, • mixed bulk and container/pallet, • sliding carpet system, • telescopic bin system. A320 Family operating costs are below those of equivalently sized competitors. It is the result of many technological improvements in many areas, and the sum has become an A320 Family "Technology Gap" of lower operating costs. Advances in aerodynamics have led to more efficient wing and airframe shaping, which reduce fuel burn, operating cost and emissions. Extensive use of lighter composite materials saves weight, another important element in saving fuel and increasing payload on weight-limited routes. The fly-by-wire control system greatly reduces mechanical complexity and eliminates many mechanical maintenance and re-rigging tasks. The Centralised Fault Display System (CFDS), links the extensive built-in test equipment to central computers, displays and printers. It reduces systems trouble-shooting time and the frustrating problem of unnecessary component change. Dynamic Capacity Management (DCM) is the ability to switch seamlessly between aircraft of different sizes, on a per flight basis, to optimize system load factor. The A320 Family provides the means to match, flight by flight, capacity to demand. Drawing on a common pool of pilots, cabin crew and maintenance personnel, A320 Family flexibility allows airlines to use DCM as an operational dispatch tool. Airlines can better match supply and demand on services within their network by having a pool of common aircraft with varying capacities and applying these, as appropriate, to different routes or flights.

In Practice • Routes experience varying levels of demand through out the day. • Some routes experience greater seasonality than others. • Airlines want to be able to accommodate "on-the-day" fluctuations in demand. • DCM can provide the optimum use of aircraft resources. The Benefits By using DCM, an airline operating a fleet of A320 Family aircraft can benefit from more revenue, less cost and minimized operational burden. • More revenue – Less spill; fewer passengers turned away by improved matching of capacity to demand. • Less cost – Empty capacity on the network is reduced. • Minimized operational burden – Improved management of aircraft deployment can be achieved.
