• • It should be noted that all software parts that are staged to the ADLU need to be digitally signed using the Airbus provided tool LSBM and an Airbus Digital Trust Services (ADTS) private key. Airbus should be contacted to obtain these items.  Without these, it will not be possible to ‘stage’ parts that are received unsigned (e.g. Navigation Databases or UMS) to the ADLU, as they will be rejected. Please see section 4.2 of ISI 45.00.00058 for details.

Airbus Data load Types

• How do I determine which data load type to assign to Airbus A320 and A330 Software parts?
  • The following is a list of Hardware FIN and the associated data loading protocols to be used for the A320 family of aircraft.

*Dependent on supplied media and aircraft configuration

• What is the meaning of the various status messages in the Reportshown during data loads and presented on the the FLS-Desk in the Report, Portable Data loader, Data Load, column “Status"?
  • RDY = Ready
    • This indication is presented when the PDL has prepared the files to transfer and has sent a Request to Transfer (RTS) to the LRU. This is normal operation unless it persists.  If this persists or times out it indicates that the LRU is not able to accept the data load. This usually indicates a setup issue or connection issue between the LRU and PDL (cables, connectors etc).
  • PROG = Programming
    • This indication is presented when the data load is in progress, this is normal operation.
  • XFER = Transfer Failed
    • This indication is presented when the transfer has previously been established but then fails, this could be due to the PDL, LRU or quality of the interfaces. The load should be attempted again and if the issue persists then fault finding routines (change of loader, change of cable etc) should be performed to determine the area at fault.
  • R/W = Read Write Error
    • This indication is presented when the PDL has failed to access the Mass Storage Device (Internal Repository or External USB Stick) containing the media to be transferred, or where the downloaded data is to be stored. If this issue persists then it either indicates a failure of the PDL, or in the case of using external USB Stick, the PDL or USB Stick.
  • ABORT = User or LRU aborted Data Load
    • This indication is presented when either the operator has pressed the ABORT button on the PDL or the LRU has aborted the data load. If the issue persists the setup of the data load, the AMM procedures (e.g. sequence of software parts to be loaded) or validity of the media (compatibility with LRU or LRU configuration) should be checked.
  • ABORTING = PDL is in process of Aborting (see above)
    • This indication is presented as the PDL goes through the process of aborting a data load, once completed the ABORT status will be presented.
  • HRDW / H/W = Hardware issue
    • This indication is presented when there is a hardware fault with the PDL.
  • COMP = Transfer Complete
    • This indication is presented when the data load has completed successfully, this is normal operation.
  • WAIT = Wait
    • This indication is presented when the LRU is polling the loader with a status request to stop it timing out whilst it performs an internal action such as a CRC check.
  • SAVING RESULTS = Results are being saved
    • This indication is presented when a data load is complete and the PDL is saving status information, debug data and any down loaded data into a load report for subsequent synchronisation to the FLS-Desk.
