Aircraft Fire Detection: Requirements, Qualification, and Certification Aspects

Abstract
For aircraft applications other or additional qualification requirements need to be fulfilled by the automatic fire detection instrument compared to those applicable to buildings. It is important to distinguish between pressurized zones and non pressurized zones due to their completely different environments (e.g. inside/outside temperature and pressure/altitude). This paper will concentrate on fire detection aspects applicable to pressurized areas of transport aircraft where passengers and cargo are located.Citation
