On July 30, 2003, the Federal Aviation Administration conducted a vertical impact test of a large high-wing airplane. The test was conducted at the William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey. The objective of this test was to determine the impact response of the fuselage, fuel system, floor tracks, seats, and anthropomorphic test dummies when subjected to a severe, but survivable, simulated crash impact. An ATR 42-300 (42-passenger regional transport airplane) was dropped from a height of 14 ft (4.3 meters) that resulted in a vertical impact velocity of 30 ft/s (9.1 m/s). The airplane was configured to simulate a typical flight condition, including seats, cargo, simulated occupants, and simulated fuel. The final test weight of the airplane was 33,200 pounds (15,059 kg).
