Details Not available for purchase at this time. Document Number: AS6453 Project Initiation: 09-15-2010 Project Number: Revision Number: Sponsor Name: Title Air Cargo Pallet Fire Containment Covers Scope The scope of this project is to develop a specification for a fire containment cover (FCC) for shipping pallets on aircraft to contain a fire for extended over water operation of up to 4 hours (777 ETOPS requirements). The specification will describe the type of material required, testing required, and in-service requirements. Rationale Fire on board an aircraft during flight is becoming an increasing problem that is without a current solution. Recent FAA NPRMs and regulatory activity has focused on this problem and there are a number of industry groups currently working on a solution including, ULD cargo net manufacturers, operators, and the ISO. One operator already has a solution to the problem. The SAE is behind on developing guidance and a solution utilizing this technology.
