This report documents the work performed under Phase I - Operational Parameters Study. of the Halon Replacement Program for Aviation for the Aircraft Engine Nacelle Application. Phase I is the first of a three-phase program to determine a replacement for Halon 1301 in aircraft engine nacelle applications. The objective of Phase I testing was to determine which parameters, in an aircraft engine nacelle fire, most influence the amount of agent needed to extinguish that fire. Of the 15 parameters tested, the factors which were most influential in an engine nacelle fire were: Surface Temperature, Fuel Temperature, Pre-Burn Time, Agent, Fuel Type, Cross-Sectional Area, and Air Temperature. These factors were recommended for inclusion in Phase II of the overall test program.
