SCOPE:This document recommends criteria for the design and installation of flight crew rest facilities on commercial transport aircraft capable of ultra long-range operations with augmented/enlarged crew complement.2. REFERENCES:2.1 This annex should be used in conjunction with ARP4101 C
6、ore Document. The latest issue of SAE publications shall apply. The following documents may also be applicable:SAE ARP1323 Type Measurements of Aircraft Interior Sound Pressure Levels During CruiseSAE ARP4245 Quantities for Description of the Acoustical Environment of the Interior of the Aircraft2.2
7、 Definitions:FLIGHT CREW REST FACILITY: An area designed for the purpose of providing sleeping, stowage, and changing clothes for off-duty flight crew.SLEEPING AREA: Any area designated for the purpose of providing an isolated space with a horizontal sleeping surface for the off-duty flight crew.SLE
8、EPING SURFACE: Any horizontal surface such as a bed, bunk, or sleeping seat that meets the criteria defined by this ARP.FREE SPACE: An area designated for the use of the flight crew to change and stow clothing.SAE ARP4101/3 - 2 -3. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS:3.1 Flight Crew Rest Facility:The facility
9、should be located close to the flight deck, but physically isolated from active areas. It should contain sleeping and free-space areas.3.1.1 The resting flight crew shall be able to control access to a nearby lavatory that incorporates provisions for assuring privacy when entering or leaving.3.1.2 T
10、he entrance door shall have a device to prevent passengers from entering the rest area.3.1.3 Adequate volume shall be provided for sleep, personal storage, and changing of clothes. The following volumes are recommended:a. Individual sleeping volume: 1.0 m3(35 ft3).b. Free space adjacent to the sleep
11、ing surfaces for ingress/egress and changing of clothes: 1.85 m3(65 ft3).3.2 Sleeping Surface Criteria:Minimum dimensions for each sleeping surface shall be 1.98 x 0.76 m (78 x 30 in).3.2.1 Minimum spacing for an over and under sleeping surface arrangement should be 0.66 m (26 in). The space above t
12、he upper surface should not be less than 0.66 m (26 in). The interior aircraft contour should not impinge at an angle of more than 35 degrees.FIGURE 1 - Crew Rest Facility Cross SectionSAE ARP4101/3 - 3 -3.2.2 The sleeping surfaces should be designed so that they are as level as practicable during c
13、ruise.3.2.3 If convertible seats are used for sleeping surfaces, they shall have a smooth, even surface when in the horizontal position.3.2.4 Suitable means should be provided to assure the required privacy for each sleeping area such as curtains in an over-and-under arrangement or a divider/curtain
14、 in a side-by-side arrangement.3.3 Isolation:The flight crew rest facility should be in a location where noise, odors, and vibration have minimum effect on sleep. A design objective of 75 dB or less is recommended for A- frequency weighted sound pressure level (Reference ARP4245) under steady cruise
15、 conditions at the position of a sleeping persons head, with the person not present, in accordance with the test methods specified in ARP1323. The spectrum of the sound should be broadband without annoying tones.Special attention should be given to the design of doors, systems, public address system
16、s, etc. in the immediate area to minimize intrusive noise.3.4 Environmental:Airflow and temperature control shall provide a uniformly well-ventilated atmosphere, free from draft, cold spots, and temperature gradient. The sleeping area should be designated a nonsmoking area. Installation of a humidif
17、ier may be considered.3.5 Alerting Device:An aural attention-getting device shall be provided to alert crew members to return to the flight deck. A two-way communication system with the flight deck is mandatory if the rest area is not adjacent to the flight deck. A one-way call system is recommended
18、 to establish communication with the main flight attendant station.The public address system shall have provision to exclude the rest area from nonrelevant announcements.3.6 Lighting:Separate, controllable reading lights shall be provided for each sleeping surface with provision for light shielding
19、of the other surfaces.3.7 Stowage and Restraints:Suitable stowages and restraints shall be provided to prevent unwanted motion of all personal belongings in severe turbulence (flight bags, clothing, and shoes). Each sleeping surface shall have adequate restraints for the protection of the occupant d
20、uring severe turbulence.SAE ARP4101/3 - 4 -3.8 Emergency Equipment:Emergency oxygen equipment and appropriate visual signals such as “NO SMOKING“ and “FASTEN SEAT BELTS“ shall be provided. A smoke detector shall be provided. Additional items of emergency equipment will be required if not immediately
21、 available in close proximity to flight crew rest facility (smoke hood, or protective breathing equipment, BCF extinguisher, fire gloves).3.9 Nonsleeping Accommodations:Consideration should be given to providing seating for off-duty flight crew members for rest and relaxation with IFE audio and visual. If installed, independent controls shall be provided for each flight crew member. Location and size of visual displays shall not cause interference to other crew member(s).PREPARED BY SAE COMMITTEE S-7,FLIGHT DECK AND HANDLING QUALITIES STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT
