Research on Civil Aircraft Passenger Capability Reduction after Cabin Door Failure
This paper introduces the purpose and significance of reducing the number of passengers on board after the cabin door failure,as well as relevant requirements of different civil aviation authorities for passenger number reduction after the cabin door failure and their differences.Then it focuses on the calculation method of passenger reduction and maximum passenger capacity in the whole aircraft and each cabin area after the cabin door failure under the EASA framework,and explains the calculation method using the case of the cabin door failure in different positions of a certain type of wide-body aircraft.It is found that the number of passengers is affected by whether over water operations will be performed,the actual cabin layout,the type of the cabin door and the capacity of the emergency equipment installed on the door.This article is intended to provide guidance for domestic type certificate applicants or holders in the preparation of master minimum equipment list and for air carriers in the preparation of minimum equipment list.
