Abstract:

There is a need to clarify the wire flammability compliance requirements specified in the latest amendments of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations and the Airworthiness Manual (CFR/AWM) for the detailed specification sheet MIL-W-22759/16. CFR requirements prescribe a 60 degree flammability test for the MIL-W-22759 specification sheet, while MIL-W-22759/16 calls for a vertical flammability test. Confusion lies as to which of the requirements should be followed. This technical note will show how the MIL-W-22759/16 specification sheet satisfies both flammability requirements.
