60o Electric Wire Test - Comment • FAR states that the test is not a failure if wire burns/break in two during the test. It is treated as an indeterminate result, and the test is run again. • How do you certify a wire that burns/breaks in to during the test? Why is it not a failure? was a comment from Carin Demus of Skandia, Inc. • Answer is that it is treated as an indeterminate result, and the test is run again. The Seattle Aircraft Certification Office allows Boeing to put a support on the wire to prevent the wire from pulling apart.
60o Electric Wire Test – Proposal • Seek FAA Transport Directorate endorsement of the procedure approved by the Seattle Aircraft Certification Office for Boeing • Incorporate the procedure in the FAA Fire Test Handbook for the 60o electric wire test
