BACKGROUND
In flight this would specifically pertain to : -slats alignment and seating -pylons and pylon – to – wing interfaces
- engine cowlings
- spoilers trailing edge seating and seal condition (rubber or brush)
- flaps, flap tabs and all-speed ailerons trailing edge alignment.
On ground this would specifically pertain to most forward and middle areas: -Static and dynamic pitot condition
-Nose radome misalignment -Cargo door to fuselage alignment -Service door condition -Engine fan blade condition (curling,
etc).
- Surface cleanliness (hydraulic fluid, dirt, paint peeling (see figure B4), etc).
-
Under-wing condition
-
Wing-body fairing -Nose and main landing gear door
adjustment -Temporary surface protection remnants.
Figure B5 shows an example of a very unclean aircraft. This parasitic drag assessment shows an estimated amount of 6.09 extra drag count resulting in a 2%-loss of Specific Range.
More details on that subject is available in another Airbus publication “Getting hands on experience with Aerodynamic deterioration” (see Chapter J-Bibliography, document [J-3]).

BACKGROUND
3.4.1.3. Aircraft trimming and asymmetry diagnosis (BIAS)
Accurate and repetitive trimming allows to identify the origin of small but persistent
asymmetries to be identified especially on A300B2/B4 and A310 / A300-600
aircraft.
The reasons for these asymmetries can be several:
-General production tolerances, particularly wing tolerances and asymmetry
between both wings in dimensions, wing / fuselage local setting, wing twist -Control surface rigging tolerances, particularly for rudder, ailerons and spoilers, -Fuel loading asymmetries between both wings, although displayed FQI values
are symmetrical -Thrust setting asymmetries between both engines, although displayed N1 /
EPR values are symmetrical -Cargo or passenger loading asymmetries.
