Title: Airworthiness Standards; Crash-Resistant Fuel Systems
Abstract: This action proposes changes to the airworthiness standards to improve the crash resistance of fuel systems on normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter category airplanes. The FAA has determined that improved crash resistance of these fuel systems is necessary to prevent deaths and injuries due to fire in survivable crashes. The proposed design changes would limit fuel spillage near ignition sources and would provide additional time for the survivors to evacuate the airplane.
