FAA FAR 25.867 Fire Protection Testing of Flight Controls
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Far Part 25 (FAR 25) is a set of airworthiness regulations for transport category aircraft. FAR 25.867 specifically addresses fire protection requirements, which are critical to ensure the safety and integrity of flight controls in case of an onboard fire scenario.
The test outlined by FAR 25.867 involves subjecting flight control materials to a thermal environment designed to simulate the conditions that could be encountered during a fire event on board an aircraft. This testing ensures that the materials used in flight control systems maintain their structural integrity and functionality even under extreme heat, thereby protecting the pilot's ability to safely operate the aircraft.
The testing process involves applying a specified heat source for a defined duration to a sample of the material used in the flight controls. The temperature and duration are critical parameters that must be adhered to strictly as per FAA guidelines. Afterward, the sample is inspected for any signs of damage or degradation that could affect its performance.
The importance of this test cannot be overstated, especially given the high stakes involved in aviation safety. Failure in a flight control during an emergency can have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, ensuring that materials meet these stringent fire protection standards is paramount.
