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)




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




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.




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





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.





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




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.




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
