Synopsis "Aviation Safety: Slow Progress in Making Aircraft Cabin Interiors Fireproof: Rced-93-37"
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) transport airplane interior cabin flammability standards, focusing on the: (1) number of U.S. aircraft that meet or are expected to meet FAA flammability standards by 1999; (2) estimated cost for all aircraft to meet the standards; and (3) safety benefits of meeting the standards. GAO found that: (1) FAA expected that by 2000, 85 percent of the airlines' fleets would be in compliance with flammability standards; (2) by 1992, 470 of the 4,200 aircraft were in compliance with FAA standards; (3) because airlines lacked plans to retrofit existing in-service aircraft, the entire airline fleet is not expected to meet flammability standards until 2018; (4) the proportion of aircraft meeting FAA standards is expected to increase as older aircraft are replaced with newer aircraft; (5) airlines are more likely to refurbish and reinstall original cabin component parts, rather than replacing them with parts meeting FAA flammability standards, during mandatory heavy maintenance inspections; (6) the estimated total cost for replacing existing aircraft cabin interiors would decrease annually from about $3.8 billion in 1994 to $2.5 billion in 1999 because of increased replacement of older aircraft; and (7) if all aircraft are refitted to meet the FAA flammability standards, between 75 and 100 fatalities could be avoided and up to $80 million to $110 million could be saved by 2018, depending upon the severity of the accident and the average value placed on a human life.
