A component test method was developed and validated to certify replacement bottom seat cushions for 16-g aircraft seats that were originally certified to the requirements of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 25.562 or Technical Standard Order C127a. The methodology established criteria to evaluate replacement cushions, which ensures an equivalent or improved level of safety to the cushions originally certified on these seats. The component test was derived from American Society for Testing and Materials standard test method D 3574-03 and generates load-deflection data for a cylindrical test specimen. The component test method was validated, using test results produced during full-scale 14-g sled tests performed at the Federal Aviation Administration Civil Aerospace Medical Institute.
