SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Volcanic ash, effects and recommendations in flight and on ground Prepared by Jeremy Marion Engineering Support - Propulsion Systems – SEEE1 Airbus Customer Services © NASA SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Page 2 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Contents • Introduction • Volcanic ash effects on Aircraft Components abrasion Engine Performance Deterioration Bleed, Air Data and Electronic Systems Contamination • Volcanic ash cloud detection • Operational recommendations Recommendations on Ground from or to Airports contaminated Recommendations in Flight (if the volcanic could is unavoidable) • Maintenance recommendations SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Page 3 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Introduction • Experience has shown that damage can occur to aircraft surfaces, windshields and powerplants after a flight through an ash cloud. • Over 80 aircraft have reported to have flown into volcanic ash cloud between 1980 and 2000.

Volcanic ash effects on Aircraft • Components abrasion Windshields Forward cabin windows Navigation and landing lights cover Wing, stabilizer and fin leading edges Engine nose cowls and thrust reversers All Pitot and Static probes May be removed and replaced after volcanic ash encounter.

Volcanic ash effects on Aircraft • Engine Performance Deterioration The flow disorder due to volcanic particles may stall the engine. SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Page 7 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Volcanic ash effects on Aircraft • Bleed, Air Data and Electronic Systems Contamination Very fine particles can penetrate easily into the systems Difficulties to remove high static charge particles from electronic components Water present in particles can cause arcing, short court circuits and intermittent failures of electronic components Dense ash deposit can clog bleed system filters and may lead to total bleed loss Obstruction of Pitot and Static systems SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Page 8 © AIRBUS S.A.S.

All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Volcanic ash cloud detection • Dust clouds cannot be detected by airborne weather radars • Presence of the following elements can help recognize a volcanic ash cloud encounter: Acrid odour similar to electrical smoke Rapid onset of engine problems St. Elmo’s fire Bright white/orange glow appearing in the engine inlets Dust and smell in the cockpit Outside darkness Airspeed fluctuation Landing lights casting sharp, distinct, shadows.

All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Operational recommendations • Recommendations on Ground from or to Airports contaminated Engine inlet covers as well as other protective covers and plugs should be installed. Have the aircraft cleaned before departure Dry crank the engines Restrict ground use of APU to engine starts Keep bleed valves closed for taxiing Taxi with minimum thrust Allow ash and dust (if present) to settle on runway before starting the takeoff roll Use the rolling takeoff technique if possible Consider the runway as wet (for dry ash) or contaminated with slush (wet ash) for takeoff/landing performance calculation SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Page 12 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Operational recommendations • Recommendations in Flight (if the volcanic could is unavoidable) Make a 180o turn Decrease the thrust Don the crew oxygen masks Report to the ATC Increase bleed demand (wing and engine anti-ice ON) Start the APU (to supply the electrical network in case of engine flameout) Monitor engine parameters and airspeed indications • Refer to FCOM 03.04.91, Operations in Volcanic ash, sand or dust SEEE - 946.0005/09 16 March 2009 Page 13 © AIRBUS S.A.S.
