JAR 25 SUBJECT REQUIREMENT
25.0671 (b) CONTROL SYSTEM Each element of each flight control system must be designed, or distinctively
and permanently marked, to minimise the probability of incorrect assembly that
could result in the malfunctioning of the system.
25.0677 (b) TRIM SYSTEMS There must be means adjacent to the trim control to indicate the direction of the
control movement relative to the aeroplane motion. In addition, there must be
clearly visible means to indicate the position of the trim device with respect to
the range of adjustment. The indicator must be clearly marked with the range
within which it has been demonstrated that take-off is safe for all centre of
gravity positions approved for take-off.
25.0783 (b) DOORS There must be a means to lock and safeguard each external door against
opening in flight (either inadvertently by persons or as a result of mechanical
failure or failure of a single structural element either during or after closure).
Each external door must be openable from both the inside and the outside, even
though persons may be crowded against the door on the inside of the
aeroplane. Inward opening doors may be used if there are means to prevent
occupants from crowding against the door to an extent that would interfere with
the opening of the door. The means of opening must be simple and obvious and
must be arranged and marked so that it can be readily located and operated,
even in darkness. Auxiliary locking devices may be used.


JAR 25 SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS
25.0787 STOWAGE Each compartment for the stowage of cargo, baggage, carry-on articles and equipment
(a) COMPARTMENTS (such as life rafts) and any other stowage compartment must be designed for its
placarded maximum weight of contents and for the critical load distribution at the
appropriate maximum load factors corresponding to the specified flight and ground load
conditions and, where the breaking loose of the contents of such compartments could:
(1) Cause direct injury to occupants;
(2) Penetrate fuel tanks or lines or cause fire or explosion hazard by damage to
adjacent systems; or
(3) Nullify any of the escape facilities provided for use after an emergency landing, to
the emergency landing conditions of JAR 25.0561(b)(3). If the aeroplane has a

occupants approaching along the main passenger aisle (or aisles). There must be:
(1) A passenger emergency exit locator sign above the aisle (or aisles) near each passenger
emergency exit, or at another overhead location if it is more practical because of low
headroom, except that one sign may serve more than one exit if each exit can be seen
readily from the sign;


25.0811 EMERGENCY (d) (2) A passenger emergency exit marking sign next to each passenger emergency exit,
(d)(e) EXIT MARKING except that one sign may serve two such exits if they both can be seen readily from the
sign; and
(3) A sign on each bulkhead or divider that prevents fore and aft vision along the passenger
cabin to indicate emergency exits beyond and obscured by the bulkhead or divider, except
that if this is not possible the sign may be placed at another appropriate location.
(e) The location of the operating handle and instructions for opening exits from the inside of the
aeroplane must be shown in the following manner:
(1) Each passenger emergency exit must have, on or near the exit, a marking that is readable
from a distance of 30 inches.

initial brightness of at least 160 microlamberts. If the operating handle is covered, self-
illuminated cover removal instructions having an initial brightness of at least 160 micro-
lamberts must also be provided.
(4) Each Type A, Type I and Type II passenger emergency exit with a locking mechanism
released by rotary motion of the handle must be marked:
(i) With a red arrow, with a shaft at least three-quarters of an inch wide and a head twice
the width of the shaft, extending along at least 70° of arc at a radius approximately
equal to three-quarters of the handle length.
(ii) So that the centreline of the exit handle is within ± 1 inch of the projected point of the
arrow when the handle has reached full travel and has released the locking
mechanism, and
(iii) With the word ‘open’ in red letters 1 inch high, placed horizontally near the head of
the arrow.


25.0811 EMERGENCY (f) Each emergency exit that is required to be openable from the outside, and its means of

(1) The outside marking for each passenger emergency exit in the side of the fuselage must
include a 2-inch coloured band outlining the exit.
(2) Each outside marking including the band, must have colour contrast to be readily
distinguishable from the surrounding fuselage surface. The contrast must be such that if
the reflectance of the darker colour is 15% or less, the reflectance of the lighter colour must
be at least 45%. 'Reflectance' is the ratio of the luminous flux reflected by a body to the
luminous flux it receives. When the reflectance of the darker colour is greater than 15%, at
least a 30% difference between its reflectance and the reflectance of the lighter colour
must be provided.
(3) In the case of exits other than those in the side of the fuselage, such as ventral or tail cone
exits, the external means of opening,including instructions if applicable, must be
conspicuously marked in red, or bright chrome yellow if the background colour is such that
red is nconspicuous. When the opening means is located on only one side of the fuselage,
a conspicuous marking to that effect must be provided on the other side.
