PROPOSED CABIN SAFETY RESEARCH PROGRAM (TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES)
The goal of the Cabin Safety Research Program is to provide a mechanism for the coordination of pertinent activities and, as appropriate, the conduct of cooperative, joint, and complementary programs. For the purpose of this program, cabin safety is intended to address acute events/conditions which can be dealt with by changes within the cabin. Although in-flight issues form an integral part of cabin safety, the primary focus is postcrash survivability, the principal elements of which are structural crashworthiness, fire safety, evaluation, and overwater survival. The foremost decision-making tools to identify and assess the potential benefits of needed research are a probabilistic risk analysis model and a cabin safety accident/incident information data bank/base.
