Rationale: Commencing in 2007, regulatory agencies began issuing rulemaking related to heat release and smoke density (via special conditions) for seats on various model airplanes with non-traditional, large, non-metallic panels that would affect survivability during a post-crash fire. A common criterion for determining which panels on the seat must be evaluated and then substantiated to these requirements is needed.
