LANDING GEAR

The A320 aircraft family has a LH and RH dual wheel Main Landing Gear (MLG) and a dual
wheel Nose Landing Gear (NLG).

The MLG retracts inboard into the MLG wheel well and the NLG retracts forward into the
NLG wheel well. The Landing Gears (L/Gs) are hydraulically operated and electrically
controlled.
LANDING GEAR DOORS

Doors are hydraulically operated and electrically controlled.

The mechanically operated doors are linked to the L/G struts and moves with the gear.

WHEELS AND BRAKES

The MLG have: wheels, carbon brakes, brake fans (optional), Tire Pressure Indicating
System (TPIS) sensor (optional), gear jacking pad for wheel change.
The NLG has: Nose Wheel Steering (N/WS) system, a jacking pad for wheel change, a TPIS
sensor (optional).
POWERPLANT
The IAE V2500-A5 engine is a two spool, axial flow, high bypass ratio turbo fan power engine All the
engines are basically the same. A programming plug on the Electronic Engine Control (EEC)
changes the available thrust.

NSTALLATION
The power plant installation includes the engine, the engine inlet, the exhaust, the fan
cowls and the reverser assemblies. The pylon connects the engine to the wing structure.
The engine is attached to the pylon by FWD and AFT mounts.
CONTROL

This section will highlight the control panels for the engines.

CONTROL PANELS
The engines are controlled by throttle control levers, which are located
on the center pedestal. They can only be moved manually.

For reverse thrust operation, two latching levers let the throttle control levers move
rearward into the reverse thrust section.

The A320 family aircraft normally operate in autothrust mode in flight.

The autothrust can be disconnected by using the two instinctive disconnect pushbuttons.
These 2 red buttons are located on the outside of each throttle control lever. This lets the
engines be controlled in manual thrust mode.
The controls for engine starting and shut down are located on the center pedestal just
behind the throttle control levers.

The manual start / N1 mode panel is located on the overhead panel.

The engine MAN START switches are used to initiate an engine manual start procedure.
They are also used to initiate an engine dry or wet motoring procedure.
The EEC is located on right part of each engine
