A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) originally issued in 1983 proposed performance standards for floor proximity emergency escape path markings for transport category aeroplanes. It was stated that there may be a number of ways of acceptable combinations of various types of lighting that could meet the objectives of this proposal which followed on the findings of a special committee dealing with the problems of fuel spill and cabin fire protection. Related aspects of post-crash survival were looked at, including lighting for emergency evacuation and it was recommended that additional sources of lighting be placed at a lower level in the cabin in the relatively clear air near the floor.
