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:

Hard Landing or Hard-Overweight Landing Category for Aircraft with latest FDIMU ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL | |
Subtask 05-51-11-210-173-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
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:
(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:
(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):
(a) We recommend that you get information from the flight crew about the landing conditions, for example:
(c) After a touchdown on the nose gear only or a high pitch-rate de-rotation:
(g) You must also do all the additional checks related to the events given in the FCR the PFR.
Subtask 05-51-11-481-070-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL (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:
Hard Landing or Hard-Overweight Landing Category for Aircraft with latest FDIMU ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
(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.
(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:

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.
