ACTION: Notice of Availability of

Proposed Advisory Circular (AC) 20–

XX, and request for comments.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

availability of and requests comments

on a proposed advisory circular (AC)

which provides guidance on the various

aspects that should be considered in the

FAA approval process of fire

extinguishing system components

manufactured under a Production

Certificate (PC), components to be FAA

approved under the Part Manufacturer

Approval (PMA) process, or design

changes to components originally

approved by either method. This notice

is necessary to give all interested

persons an opportunity to present their

views on the proposed AC.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before April 20, 2000.

Discussion

A fire extinguishing system is

comprised of many components which

are critical for the proper operation of a

system as installed in an aircraft.

Section 25.901(b)(2) requires that

components of the installation must be

constructed, arranged, and installed so

as to ensure their continued safe

operation between normal inspections

and overhauls. The applicant should

evaluate the fire extinguishing system

and establish minimum reliability

standards for the components of the

system so that the overall system can

meet this requirement. The components

should be designed and qualified to

meet specific operating performance,

service life and reliability requirements

of the fire suppression system design

established at the time of type design

approval. It is recommended that

Production Approval Holders (PAH)

and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA)

applicants demonstrate that their

candidate components meet or exceed

these criteria. The proposed AC

describes the critical parameters

involved with the design, production

and testing of the following

components: Explosive firing cartridge,

precision burst disc, fill fitting, pressure

indicator and discharge head. The

proposed AC does not address the

complete aircraft system installation.

There may be airframe installation

requirements and boundary conditions

that should be met prior to installation

approval.
