A400M Program Update These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012. The presentation was provided by Cedric Gautier, Head of the A400M program. While we are at Toulouse, one of the test aircraft took off for tests on grass and other unpaved types of landing areas. More than 1000 flights have been achieved to date with the A400M. The initial delivery customers through 2013 will be France and Turkey. Gautier discussed as well Gear Box issues identified last year and fixed as well as current efforts to deal with a different Gear Box issue identified during the recent return flight from the A400M Asian tour. MSN7 which is the first operational delivery aircraft is expected for the French Air Force at the end of 2012 or the beginning of 2013. The first flight is for the third quarter of 2012.

additional performances – SOC2.5: enhanced tanker capabilities and Search &
Rescue - SOC3: Low Level Flight

9. A400M Development Status
 Initial Type Certificate granted by the
European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) on the 30th Apr 2012
 Full Civil Type Certificate mid-2012
following the completion of 300 flight
test hours of function and reliability
(F&R) tests
 Initial Operating Clearance (Military
Certification and Qualification) during
the second half of 2012

10. A400M Development Status
Flight test Campaign: More than 3,166 hours &
1,082 Flights with five a/c now in flight tests
 MSN6 – last a/c contributing to the development fleet
– performed its first flight on the 20th Dec’11
 Development fleet is completing successfully the
certification/qualification programme with lot of critical
milestones passed this year
 Flight Test campaign will be developed by F. Alonso
Static tests finished: All Civil for TC and military
cases for IOC completed on MSN5000 Static
Specimen
Fatigue test on-going: Achieved more than
12,500 simulated flights (Half way to achieve 2.5
Design Service Goal - equating to 2.5 times the
A400M's design-life)

11. A400M Engine Status
 A400M Powerplant with 11,000 shp is the most powerful
turboprop in production.
 Engine Type Certification granted by EASA in May’11, Propeller
Type Certification in March’12.
 More than 12,000 hours operating. Issues identified last year
and affecting High Pressure Compressor and Propeller Gear
Box have been fixed but penalised Programme performances
(in particular, MSN6 First Flight postponed to end 2011 and
aircraft Type Certification impacted by some months).
 New engine events have recently affected MSN4 & MSN6 :
• Propeller Gear Box (PGB) failure experienced in one MSN4 engine
during the flight back from Asian Tour; PGB under investigation for
root-cause analysis to establish appropriate corrective plan.
• High level of vibration detected in one MSN6 engine requiring its
replacement. Root-cause analysis on-going. Main anticipated
Programme impact is the delay on Functionality and Reliability tests
start by one month and consequently on the aircraft full TC.
So far, these delays are absorbed by Airbus Military and MSN7
aircraft is still foreseen to be delivered at the turn 2012 / 2013
