Child Restraint Systems (CRS) (CSSG #77)
Problem areas:
 Supplementary loop belt
 Currently approved infant/child restraint systems (CRS) are designed
primarily for use in cars. They may or may not be compatible in fit and
function with aircraft seats.
 Different automobile standards for CRS
 Short Term outcome: allow the use of CRS

Face to face seating (CSSG #38)
 Close proximity of Cabin Crew Member seats to passengers and aircraft
structures, e.g. galleys.
 FAA carried out research, leading to new criteria on this subject.
 FAA AC 25.785-1A has been accepted by the CSSG.
 The implementation of this new standard is under review:
JAA consider the implementation of the above AC 25.785-1A to newlymanufactured aircraft by an amendment to JAR 26
 Major concern for “16 g” aircraft.

CSSG items on planning for CS-25 (2004): details
 Overhead bin safety precautions (CSSG DI #56)
- Proposed NPA by CSSG
- Design improvements:
- Visual indication of the lock/latch position of the door
- Provide reliable (tested) means, restraining the maximum placarded
baggage weight under the corresponding flight, ground and
emergency landing conditions
- Have a ramp-type design of the compartment naturally pushing the
luggage to the opposite side of the door
- Limit the door length to a maximum of 40 inches
- Provide a pictogram or placard close to the release latch indicating
that items may fall out during opening sequence

CSSG items on planning for CS-25 (2004): details
 Type III exits (access and ease of operation) (CSSG DI #7)
- NPA 25D-270, new issue to be published soon
- Definition of minimum access dimensions
- Seat back break over restriction
- Proper design to avoid foot traps and protrusions.
- Improved Type III exit design (hatch/door disposal automatically
controlled) (20/41/61 pax and up), benefits:
- Faster and more reliable availability of the exit opening for egress;
- Avoid any possible hatch obstruction in the exit access path and
outside the aircraft on the required escape route.

Access through bulkheads (30”) (#17)
 AAIB recommendations in the accident report of the B 737-200 accident in
Manchester, August 1985.
 Cranfield University: competitive type passenger evacuation tests.
 Conclusions: Width of aisles between rigid structure monuments, as
opposed to between seats, should be increased from the existing minimum
of 20 inches to a minimum of 30 inches.

CSSG recommendations for CS-25: details
Airworthiness Cabin Crew Manual (CSSG # 41)
 Similar to Airplane Flight Manual Requirements for the pilots
 Provides a formal means to transfer required actions from the airplane
airworthiness approval to the operational user
 Examples:
- Limitation on number of young childs on the parent’s lap because of
limited number of oxygen masks
- Required seats for Cabin Crew (Direct View, 25.785)
- Location of emergency equipment
- Required briefings to passengers
