CABIN INTERIOR

OBJECTIVES
1. To analyze the requirements needed for manufacturing cabin interior 2. To learn more about cabin interior facilities 3. To find cabin interior regulations in Certification Specification 25 and CAAIP

COMPONENTS 1) Stowage compartments

The requirements: a) The stowage compartment must be designed for its placarded maximum weight of contents and for the critical load distribution at the appropriate maximum load factors such as prevented from causing direct injury to occupants b) There must be a means to prevent the contents in the compartments from becoming a hazard by shifting c) If cargo compartment lamps are installed,each lamp must be installed so as to prevent contact between lamp bulb and cargo.

2) Passenger information signs and placards

The requirements: a) If smoking is to be prohibited, there mustbe at least one placard so stating that is legible toeach person seated in the cabin. b) Signs that notify when seat belts should be fastened c) A placard must be located on or adjacent to the door of each receptacle used for the disposal of flammable waste materials d) Lavatories must have No Smoking orNo Smoking in Lavatory placards positionedadjacent to each ashtray. The placards must havered letters at least 13 mm (05 inches) high on awhite background of at least 25 mm (10 inches) high. e) Symbols that clearly express the intent of the sign or placard may be used in lieu of letters.

3) Floor surfaces
The requirements: a) The floor surface of all areas, which are likely to become wet in service, must have slip resistant properties.

4) Pressurised cabins
The requirements: a) Pressurised cabins and compartments to be occupied must be equipped to provide a cabin pressure altitude of not more than 2438 m (8000 ft)at the maximum operating altitude of the aeroplane under normal operating conditions. b) Pressurised cabins must have at least the following valves, controls, and indicators for controlling cabin pressure: (i) Two pressure relief values (ii) Two reverse pressure differential relief valves (iii) An automatic or manual regulator

(iv) Instruments at the pilot or flight engineer station to show the pressuredifferential (v) Warning indication at the pilot or flight engineer station to indicate when the safe or pre-set pressure differential and cabin pressure altitude limits are exceed (vi) A warning placard at the pilot or flight engineer station (vii) The pressure sensors

5) Lavatory fire protection The requirements: a) Each lavatory must be equipped with a smoke detector system or equivalent that provides a warning light in the cockpit b) Each lavatory must be equipped with a built-in fire extinguisher for each disposal receptacle for towels, paper, or waste, located within the lavatory. 6) Compartment interiors

The requirements: a) Materials (including finishes or decorative surfaces applied to the materials) must meet the applicable test criteria prescribed in Part I of Appendix F or other approved equivalent methods b) seat cushions,except those on flight crewmember seats, must meet the test requirements of part II of appendix F, c) The interiors of compartments, such as pilot compartments, galleys, lavatories, crew rest quarters, cabinets and stowage compartments, need not meet the standards of sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph d) Smoking is not to be allowed in lavatories e) Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of the aeroplane, lavatories must have self-contained removable ashtrays located conspicuously both inside and outside each lavatory. f) Each receptacle used for the disposal of flammable waste material must be fully enclosed,constructed of at least fire resistant materials, and must contain fires likely to occur in it under normal use.

7) Cabin ozone concentration The requirements: a) The aeroplane cabin ozone concentration during flight must be shown not to exceed I. II. 025 parts per million by volume, sea level equivalent, at any time above flight level 320; and 01 parts per million by volume, sea level equivalent, time-weighted average during any 3-hour interval above flight level 270.

b) For the purpose of this paragraph, sea level equivalent refers to conditions of 25 C (77 F)and 1 0132 hPa

c) Compliance with this paragraph must be shown by analysis or tests based on aeroplane operational procedures and performance limitations

8) Seats, berths, safety beltsand harnesses

The requirements: a) A seat (or berth for a non-ambulant person) must be provided for each occupant who has reached his or her second birthday. a) Each seat, berth, safety belt, harness, and adjacent part of the aeroplane at each station designated as occupiable during take-off and landing must be designed so that a person making proper use of these facilities will not suffer serious injury in an emergency landing b) Each seat or berth must be approved. c) Each occupant of a seat that makes more than an 18-degree angle d) Each berth must be designed so that the forward part has a padded end board, canvas diaphragm, or equivalent means, that can withstand the static load reaction of the occupant when subjected to the forward inertia force e) Each seat or berth, and its supporting structure, and each safety belt or harness and its anchorage must be designed for an occupant weight of 77 kg (170 pounds), considering the maximum load factors,

9) Lifejacket
The requirements: a) Buoyancy is obtained by inflating the jacket with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which is stored under pressure in a small cylinder and released by means of a manually operated mechanism b) Most lifejackets are of the single inflation chamber type as illustrated in Figure 1, but there are others which have more than one inflation chamber, gas cylinder and mouth inflation facility; some aircraft may also carry baby flotation survival cots.

c) The material used for fabricating lifejackets is generally either rubberised cotton or polyurethane coated nylon (coated on either one or both sides), the panels being joined by the use of an adhesive or by welding. d) A light unit is attached to a lifejacket in such a way as to ensure that, when the lifejacket is in use, the lamp assembly will be in a prominent position.

10) Oxygen Storage Cylinders

The requirements: a) Cylinders designed for the storage of gaseous oxygen are made from drawn high tensile alloy steel and normally have a manual stop valve and, in many instances, a pressure regulator and a pressure gauge threaded into the neck of the cylinder. b) Cylinders are often provided with an excess pressure rupture disc, usually fitted in the valve body, which vents the cylinder contents to the outside of the aircraft in the event of a dangerous pressure rise. c) Cylinders for use in aircraft oxygen systems are colour coded for identification purposes and there are two codes presently adopted: a) black for the main body and white for the top hemispherical portion (the valve end),and b) green for cylinders of American origin.

CONCLUSION
Every components in aircraft cabin interior have their own specifications and regulations that the manufacturers need to be complied with.The regulations are made for the safety of the components and the users.
