Proposed Special Condition on “Cargo Fire Containment in an occupied Passenger Cabin”
Applicable to Learjet 45
Introductory note:
The following Special Condition has been classified as an important Special Condition and as
such shall be subject to public consultation, in accordance with EASA Management Board
decision 12/2007 dated 11 September 2007, Article 3 (2.) of which states:
"2. Deviations from the applicable airworthiness codes, environmental protection certification

conditions and equivalent safety findings, shall be submitted to the panel of experts and be
subject to a public consultation of at least 3 weeks, except if they have been previously agreed
and published in the Official Publication of the Agency. The final decision shall be published in
the Official Publication of the Agency."
Statement of Issue
The current Change is proposed to remove five (5) passenger seats and to install two (2)

Each pallet will be attached to the seat-tracks on both sides of the cabin. Both pallets will form a
combined cargo/baggage area.
The current and proposed cabin layouts are shown below.

(FCC).
