Title: Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards Fire Extinguishers and Class B and F Cargo Compartments 
Abstract: This rulemaking would harmonize several part 25 fire extinguisher and cargo compartment requirements with those in the EASA Certification Specifications for Large Aeroplanes (CS-25). It would limit the size of an existing cargo compartment, add a new defininition for a class of cargo compartments without size limitation, update associated fire extinguisher requirements, and propose cargo liner and floor panel requirements, and their material testing criteria for the narrow cargo compartments. This action would benefit manufacturers who would only need to consider one single set of certification requirements.
