  8. CSSG recommendations for CS-25: • Airworthiness Aeroplane Cabin Manual(CSSG DI #41) • Turbulence aspects(CSSG DI #76) • Direct View(CSSG DI #1) • Remote Compartments (CSSG # 73 and # 74) • Escape slides qualification above 25 knots wind • Standard list of questions after evacuation • Transportation of reduced mobility persons • Class E cargo compartment systems fire protection(CSSG DI #78) • Class E cargo compartments fire suppression/extinguishing methodology • Cabin Safety Interpretation and guidance material(CSSG DI #82) 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  9. Current CSSG priority items for JAR 26 and JAR OPS-1: • Raising JAR 26 in line with FAR 121:NPA 26-14 (CSSG DI #72) • Type III exits (access & ease of operation) (CSSG DI #7) • Face to face seating(CSSG #38) • Child Restraint Systems(CSSG #77) • Combi AD (CSSG DI #19) Recommendations: • Waste bags for use in the passenger cabin • ……and many more !! 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  11. 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  12. JAR 26 New items up to level FAR 121 (CSSG #72 + 12) Task: Bring JAR 26 up to level of FAR 121 Airworthiness requirements • JAR 26.50 Direct View • JAR 26.120 Interior Emergency Lighting • JAR 26.125 Exterior Emergency Lighting • JAR 26.130 Means for Emergency Evacuation • “Seats, Safety Belts and Harnesses” (Ref. FAA Amdt. 121-155) 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  13. Child Restraint Systems (CRS) (CSSG #77) Problem areas: • Supplementary loop belt • Currently approved infant/child restraint systems (CRS) are designed primarily for use in cars. They may or may not be compatible in fit and function with aircraft seats. • Different automobile standards for CRS • Short Term outcome: allow the use of CRS 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  14. Face to face seating (CSSG #38) • Close proximity of Cabin Crew Member seats to passengers and aircraft structures, e.g. galleys. • FAA carried out research, leading to new criteria on this subject. • FAA AC 25.785-1A has been accepted by the CSSG. • The implementation of this new standard is under review:JAA consider the implementation of the above AC 25.785-1A to newly-manufactured aircraft by an amendment to JAR 26 • Major concern for “16 g” aircraft. 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  15. CSSG items on planning for CS-25 (2004): details • Overhead bin safety precautions(CSSG DI #56) • Proposed NPA by CSSG • Design improvements: • Visual indication of the lock/latch position of the door • Provide reliable (tested) means, restraining the maximum placarded baggage weight under the corresponding flight, ground and emergency landing conditions • Have a ramp-type design of the compartment naturally pushing the luggage to the opposite side of the door • Limit the door length to a maximum of 40 inches • Provide a pictogram or placard close to the release latch indicating that items may fall out during opening sequence 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  16. CSSG items on planning for CS-25 (2004): details • Type III exits (access and ease of operation) (CSSG DI #7) • NPA 25D-270, new issue to be published soon • Definition of minimum access dimensions • Seat back break over restriction • Proper design to avoid foot traps and protrusions. • Improved Type III exit design (hatch/door disposal automatically controlled) (20/41/61 pax and up), benefits: • Faster and more reliable availability of the exit opening for egress; • Avoid any possible hatch obstruction in the exit access path and outside the aircraft on the required escape route. 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  17. CSSG items on planning for CS-25 (2004): details • Symbolic exit signs (CSSG DI #4) • Graphical exit signs as an alternative to current red-text exit signs • NPA 25D-327: Final Rule (ACJ) approved by JAAC on 12/11/03 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  18. CSSG items on planning for CS-25 (2005-2007): details Access through bulkheads (30”) (#17) • AAIB recommendations in the accident report of the B 737-200 accident in Manchester, August 1985. • Cranfield University: competitive type passenger evacuation tests. • Conclusions: Width of aisles between rigid structure monuments, as opposed to between seats, should be increased from the existing minimum of 20 inches to a minimum of 30 inches. 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004

  19. CSSG recommendations for CS-25: details Airworthiness Cabin Crew Manual (CSSG # 41) • Similar to Airplane Flight Manual Requirements for the pilots • Provides a formal means to transfer required actions from the airplane airworthiness approval to the operational user • Examples: • Limitation on number of young childs on the parent’s lap because of limited number of oxygen masks • Required seats for Cabin Crew (Direct View, 25.785) • Location of emergency equipment • Required briefings to passengers 4th Aircraft Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference – Marnix van der Heijde - Lisbon November 2004
