Lesson 4 • Vibration and Fatigue Considerations

Introduces vibration environments and fatigue life requirements for cabin components. Ensures integrators specify and verify appropriate design margins.

Lesson 1 • Aircraft Electrical Power Architecture

Maps AC and DC power sources, buses, and distribution panels relevant to the cabin. Establishes the power context for all cabin system connections.

Lesson 2 • Connector and Termination Standards

Details connector selection, crimping, and termination practices for cabin wiring. Ensures reliable electrical connections throughout the service life.

Lesson 3 • Grounding and Bonding Practices

Explains grounding philosophy and bonding requirements for cabin equipment. Prevents static buildup, corrosion, and EMI coupling issues.

Lesson 4 • Cabin Power Load Analysis

Teaches load budgeting and power allocation for cabin equipment. Prevents overloads and ensures margin compliance across flight phases.

Lesson 1 • Galley and Lavatory Ventilation

Details dedicated ventilation requirements for galleys and lavatories. Ensures odour control and smoke detection effectiveness in these zones.

Lesson 2 • Pressurisation and Fuselage Penetrations

Covers cabin pressure differential requirements and rules for fuselage penetrations. Integrators learn to maintain pressure vessel integrity during installations.

Lesson 3 • Thermal Management of Cabin Equipment

Addresses heat dissipation from IFE servers, power supplies, and other electronics. Prevents thermal failures and ensures passenger comfort.

Lesson 4 • Environmental Control System Basics

Introduces the ECS architecture supplying conditioned air to the cabin. Provides the system context for integrating heat-generating or airflow-sensitive equipment.

Lesson 1 • Cabin Wireless Connectivity Systems

Introduces satellite and air-to-ground connectivity architectures for passenger Wi-Fi. Covers antenna placement, radome integration, and RF interference management.

Lesson 2 • IFE Certification and EMI Compliance

Details the certification path for IFE equipment including EMI and HIRF testing. Ensures integrators produce documentation packages that satisfy airworthiness authorities.

Lesson 3 • IFE System Architecture

Maps server, seat electronics unit, and display topology for modern IFE systems. Establishes the network and power framework for integration planning.

Lesson 4 • Cabin Management System Integration

Explains how the cabin management system controls lighting, temperature, and IFE. Integrators learn data bus interfaces and control panel installation.

Lesson 1 • Galley Design and Integration

Addresses galley structural attachment, utility connections, and equipment installation. Integrators learn to coordinate electrical, water, and ventilation interfaces.

Lesson 2 • Cabin Flooring Systems

Explains floor panel types, attachment methods, and load distribution requirements. Covers carpet and hard-floor installation over structural floor panels.

Lesson 3 • Interior Panel Materials and Finishes

Covers approved materials, fire-test requirements, and finish specifications for cabin panels. Connects material selection to certification and maintenance outcomes.

Lesson 4 • Lavatory Module Integration

Covers lavatory structural mounting, plumbing, and smoke detection requirements. Ensures compliance with accessibility and safety regulations.

Lesson 1 • Emergency Lighting Systems

Explains floor proximity lighting, exit signs, and battery backup requirements. Covers installation, photometric testing, and maintenance access provisions.

Lesson 2 • Evacuation Equipment and Signage

Addresses life vest stowage, slide arming indicators, and evacuation signage placement. Ensures passenger safety information is accessible and compliant.

Lesson 3 • Passenger Oxygen Systems

Covers chemical and gaseous oxygen system architectures and installation requirements. Integrators learn deployment mechanism interfaces and mask drop-out clearances.

Lesson 4 • Fire Detection and Suppression

Details smoke detector placement, halon-alternative suppression systems, and testing. Ensures integrators meet mandatory fire protection requirements in all cabin zones.

Lesson 1 • Ground and Functional Testing

Covers the sequence of ground tests performed before first flight. Ensures all cabin systems operate correctly and interfaces are verified.

Lesson 2 • Certification Documentation Package

Explains the structure and content of a complete certification submittal. Covers compliance checklists, test reports, and authority liaison processes.

Lesson 3 • Cabin Safety and Evacuation Testing

Details full-scale evacuation demonstrations and safety system performance tests. Integrators understand pass/fail criteria and corrective action processes.

Lesson 4 • Verification Planning and Methods

Establishes the four verification methods—test, analysis, inspection, and demonstration. Integrators learn to assign appropriate methods to each requirement.
