GM2 ACNS.E.LAD.230 Continued operation
after losing normal electrical power
ED
Decision 2021/008/R
GUIDANCE FOR SOLUTIONS BASED ON AN ADFR
The 15-minute period on the ground with all the systems generating normal electrical power inoperative is intended to cover the case of a ditching if the ADFR sensors do not detect a crash impact condition (no severe damage to the airframe). Depending on the ditching condition, the aircraft may stay afloat for a certain time, resulting in a delay before a water immersion sensor triggers the deployment. If the aircraft stays afloat for more than 15 minutes, it is assumed that the ditching conditions allow some flight or cabin crew members to manually activate the ELT that is integrated into the deployable package of the ADFR or is attached to the aircraft, and that ELT(S)s, when present, are also activated.
