    787 Aoa Sensor

    Uploaded by

    MT H
    This document from Boeing provides information about the location of the angle of attack (AOA) sensor on the 787 aircraft and guidelines for passenger boarding bridge (PBB) operation around this area. The AOA sensor is located approximately 90 inches forward of the centerline of the front left door and 7.4 inches below the threshold. When aligned properly, the PBB bumper will have at least 2 inches of clearance from the sensor; however, portions of the bumper and canopy could be trimmed to provide more visibility and clearance if desired by the airport. Specific airport compatibility questions should be directed to the provided Boeing contact information.

    787 Angle Of Attack Sensor Location

    • The forward left door (DL1) of


    the 787 was designed more
    forward than on many previous
    Boeing aircraft.
    • The position of DL1 is now
    inherently closer to the left hand
    Angle Of Attack (AOA) sensor.
    • Although the distance was
    deemed sufficient, there have
    been questions as to safe
    operation of Passenger
    Boarding Bridges (PBB) around
    this location of the aircraft. If
    caution is not exercised, there is
    risk for the AOA sensor to be
    damaged during PBB
    operations.

    787 Aircraft and Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB)
    Area of Interest
    The location of the AOA Sensor is approximately 90 in (229 cm) forward of the DL1
    centerline and 7.4 in (19 cm) below the DL1 threshold.

    787 Aircraft and Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB)
    Alignment
    • The PBB deck is aligned vertically to the door threshold and horizontally to
    allow complete operation of DL1 opening outward and toward the aircraft nose
    • Visual aids are suggested to aid in PBB alignment

    787 AOA Sensor Proximity to Passenger Boarding
    Bridge
    • When the PBB is positioned against the 787, with the bumper parallel to the
    DL1 threshold, the bumper will NOT contact the AOA Sensor
    • If additional clearance is desired to guard against AOA Sensor contact,
    modifications may be made to portions of the PBB

    Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB) Modification

    • A portion of the bumper may be removed to provide additional clearance /


    visibility of the AOA Sensor
    • A portion of the PBB canopy may also be removed, as desired, to provide
    additional clearance / visibility of the AOA Sensor
    • Exact dimensions may be dependent on PBB manufacturer / model and
    should be determined on site
    • Material removal should be
    minimized, or other resolutions
    used, to maintain personal
    safety and weather protection
