• 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)

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

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
  reviewJAA 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
  parents 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
