Sharklet introduction certification

The Sharklet is certified through a significant major change
(classification according to EASA Part 21). The target date for the
official approval is end of November 2012 for A320.
The sharklet doesnt create any new model. For that reason, it
remains as part of the existing EASA TC.

Minimum impact is targeted for sharklet Aircraft
SRM
Complete revalidation of existing SRM is ongoing for both
reinforced Aircraft and Sharklet Aircraft
Objective is to complete all SRM task revalidation by end 2013

Outlook today indicated 65% temporary & ADL revalidated for Sharklet
Aircraft A320 EIS:
Nose Fwd fuselage (s11/12), Fwd fuselage (s13/14), Aft fuselage (s18), Aft Tail cone
(s19.1), PAX doors, landing gear doors, belly fairings, VTP,THS, rudder, elevator, pylons
SRM introduction includes Aircraft reinforcement and sharklet

modifications into repairs / ADL effectivity list.
Repairs shown as not applicable would need RAS in case-by-case basis

Sharklet device ADL/Repairs on-going:
Metallic Leading Edge ADL (Scratches, Gouges, Abrasions, Corrosion and Dents)
Lightning Strike damage
Sharklet composite structure repairs
Sharklet SRM coverage will be maintained vs current A320.

Same level of reparability vs current A320 family

Impact Flight Ops & Training Domain

AFM / FCOM:
To be updated to reflect Perfo improvements
Minor adaptation to reflect sharklet impact on systems
WBM :
no change for A320

possible minor changes on Weight and CG data for A319 or
A321
MMEL:
Update of perfo charts
Possible update due to introduction of LAF (Load Alleviation Function)
Maintenance & Flight training: Minor update
(mainly on Familiarization
training)
No impact on crew qualification same type rating

Page 24
Impact Flight Ops & Training Domain - dispatch

Dispatch after sharklet heavy damage (out of SRM and CDL scope)
Ferry Flight with damaged sharklet removed and replaced by a complete
wingtip (modified wingtip compatible with reinforced wing).
Benefit: Wingtip & fence can be transported in A320 Family. Sharklet cant.
Will be managed through AFM specific instructions. Targeted at 1Q13
Perfo penalties under definition
Flight Tests to be completed by end Oct2012
CDL : complete scope under review

Available at 1st EIS: static discharger.
Other CDL items under review: nav & strobe lights glazing's , PSU access

Spare & transportation

Spare sharklets
Two sets of sharklets planned to be available at EIS in Airbus to
support the fleet. One set in Singapore and one in Hamburg at EIS.
Out of production secured

Parts that will be out of production after Aircraft reinforcement is standard in
production have been identified and secured for aftermarket (Airbus Material,
Logistics and Suppliers in Hamburg).
