GM1 26.150(d) Compartment interiors

ED Decision 2015/013/R

‘Complete Replacement’: All of the affected components in the cabin are replaced. Whether the other components that are not affected are replaced is not relevant.

1       The qualifying word ‘substantially’ may be used to avoid operators avoiding compliance by not replacing a minor, inconsequential cabin component and stating that there had not been a ‘complete replacement’.

2       The definition does, therefore, permit individual replacement of cabin interior components without the mandatory replacement of all components at the same time. It should also be noted that removing components for refinishing and reinstalling them in the same aeroplane, or in a different aeroplane not subject to more stringent requirements, is considered ‘refurbishment’ and not ‘replacement’.
