ICAO 10146 PDF

FOREWORD

A need was identified for the development of guidance material related to the certification requirements for the airworthiness of commercial aircraft undergoing changes to the aircraft cabin interiors. Such cabin modifications could include simple or complex changes regarding aircraft with passenger, combi- and all-cargo configurations.

These will be taken into consideration in the preparation of subsequent editions. Comments concerning this manual should be addressed to:
