An agency of the European Union Explanatory Note No.: A340 TCDS EASA.A.015 Issue 2 A-01-CCD: CABIN CREW DATA REQUIREMENTS SPECIAL CONDITION A-01-CCD: Cabin Crew Data Requirements APPLICABILITY: A330 / A340 REQUIREMENTS: Regulation (EU) 748/2012of 03 August 2012, as amended ISSUE: 1 dated 10/12/2015 Special Condition summary BACKGROUND The purpose of this CRI is to establish the certification basis for the grandfathered A330/-340 aircraft family Cabin Crew Operational Suitability Data. There were no applicable certification specifications for operational suitability data issued in accordance with point 21.A.16A, effective on the date of the Type Certificate application for the A330-200/-300; A340-200/-300; A340-500; A340-600. In accordance with Part 21, 21.A.17B (a), the operational suitability data certification basis needs to be defined for the A330/-340 aircraft Family Cabin Crew Operational Suitability Data, transferred from the “A330/-340 Family -OEB Cabin Crew Evaluation Report”. The purpose of the (J) OEB CC evaluations, as requested by Airbus, was to: determine whether the A340-600 is a variant of the A340-300(as per JAR-OPS 1.1030- Operation on more than one type or variant); determine whether the A330-200/-300; the A340-500; the A340-600 are variants of the A340-200/-300(as per JAR-OPS 1.1030- Operation on more than one type or variant), thus constituting the “A330/340 family”; provide recommendations to support the establishment by operators, of cabin crew differences training programs for variants (as per JAR-OPS 1.1010 – Conversion and differences training). NOTE: See also certification basis complement CCD-01 (published in this document), that comes in addition to the present SC A-01-CCD.

An agency of the European Union Explanatory Note No.: A340 TCDS EASA.A.015 Issue 2 Having regard of the applicable JAR-OPS 1 requirements and in accordance with "Part 3-Procedure Document for Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB)-Cabin Crew”, which governed the (J) OEB CC evaluations, the following aircraft type specific elements that would impact normal and/or emergency operations for cabin crew were compared and assessed, in order to fulfil the purpose of the evaluations: aircraft configuration: o number of aisles o number of passenger decks doors and exits o exit arming/disarming o direction of movement of the operating handle o direction of exit opening o power assist mechanism Note: In accordance with JAR-OPS 1.1030/EU-OPS 1.1030 and later on with ORO.CC.250, self- help exits, for example Type III and Type IV exits, need not to be included in the determination of new type or variant. assisting evacuation means aircraft systems for cabin crew duties: o emergency lighting system o smoke detection system o built-in fire extinguishing system o drop-down oxygen system o communication and public address system o control and indication panels Using the above categories as criteria, detailed Operator Differences Tables(ODRs) – the Airbus equivalent of Aircraft Differences Tables (ADTs) – were provided by Airbus, in order to highlight the exiting differences between the A340-200/-300 as the “base” aircraft and the A330-200/-300; the A340-500, the A340-600 as the “”candidate” aircraft within the comparisons.
