Full title and description

ARINC Report 435-1:2016 — Guidance for Cabin Training Devices. This report provides guidance for the design, development, installation and documentation of cabin training devices used to train cabin crew and other cabin personnel; it defines operational and handling characteristics and the minimum data needed to establish reliability and maintainability criteria for such devices.

Abstract

ARINC 435-1:2016 offers recommended practices and guidance for manufacturers, training providers and regulatory authorities on cabin-related training devices (e.g., door/exit trainers, galley trainers, cabin service and emergency trainers such as fire/smoke and wet-drill trainers). The report describes design considerations, software and hardware issues, service life and maintainability, documentation and data-package requirements, and device-specific considerations for exit and interior-door training equipment.

Scope

This report sets out guidance for cabin training devices used to prepare and qualify cabin crew and related personnel. It covers device design and construction, software requirements, reliability and maintainability considerations, safety and diagnostic features, documentation and data-package content, and specific device-type guidance (for exit/door trainers, galley and service trainers, fire/smoke trainers, wet-drill trainers, etc.). It is intended as a non-mandatory technical reference to support manufacturers, buyers, installers and regulatory/compliance activities.

Key topics and requirements

• Design considerations and construction standards for cabin training devices (materials, structural durability, ergonomic and safety aspects).
• Software requirements, integration and maintainability for device control and simulation subsystems.
• Service life, reliability targets and maintainability guidance, plus diagnostics and daily readiness checks.
• Safety considerations, emergency features and procedures for trainer operation and maintenance.
• Documentation requirements and recommended content for the device data package, acceptance and operational documents.
• Specific guidance for door/exit trainers, interior-door trainers, galley trainers, cabin service trainers, fire/smoke trainers and wet-drill trainers (including exit force measurement where applicable).
• Definitions, terminology and recommended tests or measurements to demonstrate compliance with guidance items.

Typical use and users

Primary users are cabin training device manufacturers, flight-training organizations, cabin crew training centers, airline training departments, maintenance/support personnel, and regulatory authorities involved in acceptance and oversight of training devices. Use cases include device design and procurement, supplier and vendor compliance checks, preparation of device documentation/data packages, installation and acceptance testing, and lifecycle maintenance planning.
