The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is planning to issue new regulations to upgrade the fire safety standards for cargo or baggage compartments in certain passenger and cargo aircraft. These regulations would require that approximately 3,700 existing aircraft be retrofitted to include fire suppression and/or smoke detection systems in their cargo or baggage compartments and that all new aircraft entering service include such systems. We reviewed the actions under way at FAA and within the aviation industry to effect these changes within the 3-year time frame proposed by FAA. We addressed the following questions: What is the status of FAA's and the airline industry's efforts to equip aircraft cargo compartments with new smoke detection and fire suppression systems; and What factors may affect the timetable for equipping the entire fleet with this new equipment.
