Inspections After a Hard Landing or a Hard Overweight Landing for Aircraft with FDIMU Load Report 15 included in Software 10TVSW2 or 10TVSW5


TASK 05-51-11-200-004-C
Inspections After a Hard Landing or a Hard Overweight Landing for Aircraft with FDIMU Load Report 15 included in Software 10TVSW2 or 10TVSW5


1. Reason for the Job
After a Flight Crew Report (FCR) of a hard landing or a hard overweight landing,or after the generation of load report 15 (trigger code 4XXX), you must:
  • Do an analysis of the landing parameters.
  • If necessary, do the subsequent steps.
    After a FCR of a hard landing or a hard overweight landing, if load report 15 or the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR)/Quick Access Recorder (QAR) data tells you that the landing was not hard, no inspection is necessary.
NOTE: This AMM task is only applicable for aircraft with the Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU) installed with following software and subsequent version:
  • 10TVSW2 PN D13SACFXXXXXXXX
  • 10TVSW2 PN D14SACFXXXXXXXX
  • 10TVSW2 PN D16SAFCXXXXXXXX
  • 10TVSW2 PN D18SAFCXXXXXXXX
  • 10TVSW2 PN D19SACFXXXXXXXX
  • 10TVSW5 PN 263321489-0195
To know the PNs of the Data Management Unit (DMU)/FDIMU and related software, you can refer to the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) identification page or Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) 31-36-08.

A. Inspection Requirements for a Hard Landing or a Hard Overweight Landing
   (1) Definitions

The assessment of a hard landing or hard overweight landing is based on the following parameters:
  • Nz kpi: This indicator is computed based on the following parameters extracted around first and second (if any) touchdown times: vertical acceleration, aircraft gross weight and roll angle.
  • Ny kpi: This indicator of lateral acceleration at first and second (in case of a bounce landing) touchdown.
    The landing events are then classified according to the severity as hard landing/hard overweight landing (Amber zone) or severe hard landing/severe hard-overweight landing (Red zone).
    The classification is made with the values of the computed Nz kpi/Ny kpi and summed up by the load report 15 trigger code:
     (a) Hard landing (Amber zone): Hard landing is a landing during which 1.80 <= Nz kpi <= 2.06 or 0.45 <= Ny kpi <= 0.5. The associated LR15 trigger codes are 4520or 4620.
     (b) Hard overweight landing (Amber zone): It is a landing during which 1.80 <= Nz kpi <= 2.06 or 0.45 <= Ny kpi <= 0.5. The associated LR15 trigger codes are 4420or 4320.
     (c) Severe hard landing (Red zone): It is a landing during which Nz kpi >= 2.06 or Ny kpi >= 0.5. The associated LR15 trigger codes are 4510 or 4610.
     (d) Severe hard-overweight landing (Red zone): It is a landing during which Nz kpi >= 2.06 or Ny kpi >= 0.5. The associated LR15 trigger codes are 4410 or 4310.
     (e) Normal landing (Green zone): It is a landing during which Nz kpi < 1.80 and Ny kpi < 0.45. The associated LR15 trigger codes are 7XXX.
For more details, refer to DMU load report<15> (Ref. AMM TASK 31-37-00-200-001).

     (f) High pitch-rate de-rotation-landing is not given by Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS) LR15. A high pitch-rate de-rotation-landing is a landing during which the de-rotation is too fast. In this condition:
  • You must not use load report 15 to confirm a high pitch-rate de-rotation.
  • You must send the data of the event to Airbus.
   (2) Confirmation of a hard landing or a hard overweight landing
     (a) If the flight crew think that there was a hard landing or a hard overweight landing, it is its responsibility to make a report.
     (b) After a crew report of a hard landing or a hard overweight landing or after the generation of a load report 15 (trigger code 4XXX):
You must extract the LR15 and do the analysis of the trigger code or Nz kpi / Ny kpi indicator according to the classification given above to find the category of the landing.
       1 If the category of the landing is a hard landing or a hard overweight landing (Amber zone):
You must do the inspections for that category.
       2 If the category of the landing is a severe hard landing or a severe hard-overweight landing (Red zone), you must:
         a Do the inspections for that category.
         b Send the raw data from the DFDR or from the QAR to Airbus.
         c Send the data about the event and inspection results to Airbus.
         d Contact Airbus for technical instructions.
         e Obey the Airbus instructions before the next flight.
     (c) If the pilots reported a hard landing event but you cannot find the category of the landing due to unavailability of the load report 15, contact Airbus and send the raw data of the event from the DFDR or from the QAR to Airbus.
       1 If you cannot confirm the category of the landing with the DMU/FDIMU load report 15 and if the QAR or DFDR data cannot be downloaded immediately:
         a You must do the inspection after a severe hard landing or a severe hard-overweight landing (Red zone):
  • If you do not find damage during this inspection, the temporary return-to-service of the aircraft is possible. Make sure that the category of the hard landing is correct in the next 200 flight cycles / 30 days maximum.
         b In the shortest possible period, and in less than 200 Flight cycles / 30 days, send the raw data from the DFDR or from the QAR to Airbus. This is to find the category of the hard landing.
  • If the landing is a hard landing or a hard overweight landing, no more inspections are necessary.
  • If the landing is a severe hard landing or a severe hard-overweight landing, obey the Airbus instructions before the next flight.
   (3) Inspection preparation
     (a) We recommend that you get information from the flight crew about the landing conditions, for example:
  • A touchdown straight, drifting, wing low, tail or nose heavy
  • A touchdown on the main gears or on the main and nose gears or a high pitch-rate de-rotation on the nose gear
NOTE: Three touchdown configurations are possible:
  • A hard touchdown on the main gears only
  • A touchdown on the nose gear only or a high pitch-rate de-rotation
  • A touchdown on the nose and main gears.
  • The weight of the aircraft
  • The quantity of fuel in each tank
  • The instrument indications
  • Other information, for example noise that can be related to a structural failure.
     (b) After a hard touchdown on the main gears only, the inspection of the nose gear area is not necessary.
     (c) After a touchdown on the nose gear only or a high pitch-rate de-rotation:
  • Only the inspection of the nose gear and the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) section of the fuselage area is necessary.
  • Send the raw data from the DFDR or from the QAR to Airbus.
  • Send the data about the event and the inspection results to Airbus.
  • Contact Airbus for technical instructions.
  • Obey the Airbus instructions before the next flight.
     (d) After a touchdown on the nose and main gears:
  • The full inspection is necessary.
  • Send the raw data from the DFDR or from the QAR to Airbus.
  • Send the data about the event and the inspection results to Airbus.
  • Contact Airbus for technical instructions.
  • Obey the Airbus instructions before the next flight.
     (e) After a drift landing:
  • Refer to the touchdown configuration and obey the applicable requirements given in paragraphs 3.A.(3)(a) and (b) or (c) or (d).
  • Do the special access procedure for the inspection after a drift landing.
  • Do the special inspections of the rear fuselage and the vertical tail plane after a drift landing.
NOTE: The last inspection paragraph gives the necessary inspections after a drift landing.
     (f) We recommend that you get the Post Flight Report (PFR) related to a hard landing or a hard overweight landing.

A. General Inspection Recommendations
NOTE: All the inspections are visual unless specified differently in the text. Operators can refer to the Nondestructive Testing Manual (NTM) and use the non-destructive procedures.
   (1) If you find damage during an inspection and if it is necessary to disconnect or remove components (pipes, ducts, cables, electrical connectors and mechanic linkages), do a functional test of the related system after re-assembly.
   (2) If it is necessary to open or remove the access panels and the doors, examine them. Make sure that:
  • They are aligned correctly
  • They have no distortion or cracks
  • The paint is not damaged
  • All fasteners and safety devices are in the correct position.
   (3) If there is damage to the aircraft structure, refer to the Structural Repair Manual (SRM). The SRM has the approved damage limits and repair procedures.
Subtask 05-51-11-210-175-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. General Inspection
