Burn through issues for aircraft interiors 1

have you looked at the FAA's AC on this ?

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

There is also the SMOKE, FIRE AND FUMES IN TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT document from the Royal Aeronautical for general back ground.

Plus there are quite a number of Cabin fire related reports on FAA website (they seem to have moved since I last looked).

Yes, start with the FAR Part 25 regulations and associated advisory circulars.

Many thanks for your replies Gentlemen !
