Abstract This report reflects the many changes that have occurred in the aircraft fire suppression arena since the last update was published in 2002. Changes have occurred in regulatory restrictions, commercialized halocarbon replacements, halocarbon replacements in development, alternative technologies, and the evaluation of fire fighting effectiveness for the four primary aircraft onboard applications: (1) engine nacelles, (2) hand-held extinguishers, (3) cargo compartments, and (4) lavatory protection. Test-based fire suppression halon equivalency guidance is provided for these applications. 17. Key Words 18.
