This Section of FAR is No Longer Current.

Sec. 25.365

Part 25 AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES


Subpart C--Structure Supplementary Conditions

Sec. 25.365

Pressurized cabin loads.

For each pressurized compartment for occupants, the following apply:


(a) The airplane structure must be strong enough to withstand the flight loads combined
with pressure differential loads from zero up to the maximum relief valve setting.
(b) The external pressure distribution in flight, and stress concentrations and fatigue
effects must be accounted for.
(c) If landings may be made with the cabin pressurized, landing loads must be combined
with pressure differential loads from zero up to the maximum allowed during landing.
(d) The airplane structure must be strong enough to withstand the pressure differential
loads corresponding to the maximum relief valve setting multiplied by a factor of 1.33,
omitting other loads.
(e) If a pressurized cabin has two or more compartments separated by partitions,
bulkheads, or floors, the structure supporting the prescribed flight and grounds loads (and
any other structure that, if it failed, could interfere with continued safe flight and landing)
must be designed to withstand the effects of sudden release of pressure in any
compartment through an opening resulting from the failure or penetration of an external
door, window, or windshield panel, or from structural fatigue or penetration of the
fuselage in this compartment, unless it is shown that the probability of failure or
penetration is extremely remote.
(f) In determining the probability of failure or penetration and probable size of openings,
the fail-safe features of the design may be considered if possible improper operation of
closure devices and inadvertent door openings are also considered. The pressure relief
provided by intercompartment venting may also be considered.
(g) Reasonable design precautions must be taken to minimize the probability of parts
becoming detached and injuring occupants while in their seats.
