Abstract:Due to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, aircraft owners and operators may find it necessary to more frequently and thoroughly disinfect airplanes. The increased use of disinfectants on aircraft materials leads to the possibility of material degradation or negative impacts on equipment performance. This report summarizes disinfection testing performed by various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for flight deck materials and components. These OEMs performed tests on materials with thermal disinfection, Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and various liquid disinfection methods. After disinfectant exposure, they evaluated the materials for visual and mechanical deterioration. Also summarized in this report is a survey of aircraft operators on the disinfecting methods that are used in practice in cockpits.
