5、gn and Performance Criteria Aircraft Crash Axes RATIONALEThis revision clarifies the crash ax handle grip and nameplate requirements and the use of the mandating and recommending words “Shall” and “Should”. For clarity, the referenced documents that are applicable to this standard have been separate

6、d from those that are considered related publications. 1. SCOPE This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides design criteria and performance tests for crash axes intended for use by aircraft crew members to assist in evacuation, extrication, fire fighting, or other emergency activities. 1.1 Purpose The

7、 purpose of this AS is to assure minimum standards of functionality and performance for crash axes carried aboard aircraft for use by crew members in emergency situations. 1.2 Introduction In the preparation of this document, consideration has been given to the performance of existing equipment as w

8、ell as recommendations from flight crew associations, aircraft operators, aircraft manufacturers, and emergency equipment manufacturers. The primary goal of this AS is to ensure that crash axes will perform adequately in emergency situations. 1.3 Alternative Designs The specifications and test metho

9、ds provided herein anticipate a traditional “crash ax“ configuration with the striking head at one end of a handle and other features including a pike, wedge and pry bar. The striking force is applied perpendicular to the major axis of the handle. These specifications are not intended to limit the d

10、esign to this traditional configuration. Other alternative designs having a different configuration or other features may be evaluated and determined to meet this Aerospace Standard. In evaluating the alternative designs, it shall be demonstrated that the design offers at least an equivalent level o

11、f utility and effectiveness in satisfying the functional performance of ARP5403 on crash axes, as well as the functional tests of Section 5 of this Aerospace Standard. This evaluation shall consider the flight deck and cabin emergencies anticipated by each of the specific design features, and it sha

12、ll ensure that ease of stowage and emergency use in a confined flight deck space is not compromised.
