RECOMMENDED PRACTICES FAR references can be considered valid across aircraft categories: 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 23, 25, 27, and 29. 3.1 Seat Back Handhold in Turbulence 3.1.1 Applicable Policy and Regulations 14 CFR Part 25.78

43、5 (j) Amendment 25-88 If the seat backs do not provide a firm handhold, there must be a handgrip or rail along each aisle to enable persons to steady themselves while using aisles in moderately rough air. AC 25-17A par. 81.b (6) Crashworthiness Handbook The seat back may serve as a firm handhold. Si

44、nce many seats are capable of breaking over, the breakover load must be adequate to be considered firm. A load of 25 pounds (111 N) minimum, acting horizontally, is considered adequate when applied at the top center of the seat back. SAE INTERNATIONAL ARP5526D Page 7 of 57 3.1.2 Recommended Practice

45、 A handhold is defined as a means of providing a hand hold support for a person standing upright in an aisle during flight. If an adequate supplemental rail or handgrip is not provided in the interior, seat backs may be used as the handhold so long as they are spaced sufficiently close together to b

46、e within reach for an occupant using the aisle. For that purpose, a seat pitch of 65 inches (165 cm) or less is considered adequate in a typical commercial transport aircraft configured with forward or rearward facing passenger seats positioned along an aisle. Due to the unique and customized interi

47、or arrangement of forward, sideward or rearward facing passenger seats in business/private transport aircraft (not for hire) these configurations should be assessed individually. Divan seating and side facing seats do not normally place the seat back where it can be effectively used as a handhold. T

48、o act as a handhold, the upper aisle-side corner of the seat back should provide either a surface to grip or push against. A seat back used as a handhold should not break over when a force of 25 pounds (111 N) in a direction perpendicular to the seat back is applied at the top center of the seat bac

49、k. Seat backs with head rests that telescope more than 3 inches above the seat back may be used for a handhold if, in addition to all other requirements, no portion of the head rest, e.g., bendable ears and/or tilting head rest, can be moved more than 7 inches (17.8 cm) before a 25 pound (111 N) resistive force is met. The seat back handhold should be at least 33 inches (84 cm) above the floor, even if the seat back is reclined
