The symposium was arranged in the following sessions: Review of fire related aircraft accidents (3); Fire safety standards and research programmes (6); Aircraft internal fires (9); Aircraft external fires (2); Fire safety of military weapons systems(3); Fire hardening by advanced materials and structural design (8); Passenger behavior in emergency situations (3); and Passenger protective equipment (4). The Technical Evaluation Report and Addendum are included at the beginning of the Proceedings. Questions and answers of the discussions follow each paper.
