Title:
Continued Fireworthiness of Aircraft Interior Materials
Author:
Patricia Cahill
Abstract:
Vertical flammability tests specified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under FAR 25.853 were performed on a variety of interior materials removed from surplus DC-lO, B-707, and B-747 aircraft in order to verify their continued fireworthiness. It was determined that the large majority of materials were in conformance with the test requirements. Exceptions were urethane foam ducting insulation and two composite panels due to the flammable nature of their adhesives.

Title:
The Development of a Flammability Test Method for Aircraft Blankets
Author:
Patricia Cahill
Abstract:
Flammability testing of aircraft blankets was conducted in order to develop a fire performance test method and performance criteria for blankets supplied to commercial aircraft operators. Aircraft blankets were subjected to vertical Bunsen burner testing, 4-ply vertical testing, full-scale match and cigarette testing, and single- and 4-ply horizontal testing. It was found that the 4-ply horizontal test correlates well with the full-scale match tests, produces consistent test results, and realistically evaluates ease of ignition.

Transport Water Impact And Ditching Performance
Author:
Amit A. Patel, Richard P. Greenwood, Jr.
Abstract:
The objective of this program was to (1) review and analyze worldwide transport accident data relative to water impacts and ditching performance (2) compare the results of this study with current FAA requirements to determine their adequacy/relevancy , and (3) conduct a survey of major worldwide airports to determine their proximity to water.
