Introduction
Over the life of the Aircraft, the Cabin Environment is likely to see multiple modifications including any of the following
Configuration (LOPA) changes
Major and Minor seat upgrades including any of the following
First, Business and Economy class configurations, either minor modifications or STC,
Major and Minor cabin changes
IFE Installation, Integration & Upgrades USB / PC Power Supply
Lavatories relocations, refurbishing, and modification
Galley’s removal or installations
Overhead bins layout change
Monuments Modification
Partitions or Movable Class Dividers
Integration of stretchers area
Cabin attendant seats installation or relocation.
Certification requirements for civil [commercial] aircraft are derived from
• ICAO Annex 8 Airworthiness of Aircraft together with
• ICAO Airworthiness Manual, Part V State of Design and the State of Manufacture.
Each ICAO contracting state is obligated to establish its legal framework. Within the European Community this activity is undertaken by EASA essentially harmonised with the FAA.
The course reviews the regulatory background driven by ICAO, FAA, and EASA. Consideration is given to the technical aspects regarding systems and avionics, cabin and structure, and certification topics.
The Following Regulations will be considered during this course:
- Part 21
- CS-25
- Part 26
- CS-26
- CS-ETSO
- EASA OPS
Who is this course for?
The course is aimed at individuals in the aviation industry who are responsible for cabin certification and modifications. The course focuses on the requirements outlined in CS 25, which are the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations for large aircraft certification.
What is the Benefit of this Training – What will I learn?
a) To achieve a basic understanding of Certification Specifications CS-25 related to the Cabin Environment
b) To understand in detail the Certification Process related to the Cabin Environment of Large Turbine Powered Aeroplanes
c) To be able to use the regulatory information to document and demonstrate compliance
d) To Understand the Safety Assessment Process Related to CS25-1309
e) To be able to engage with a project-based relationship with DOA & POA to promote constructive dialogue
f) Act as an “advocate” during DOA discussions to ensure a customer-focused interpretation of regulations and certifications
