| Background: | The FAA received reports of duct assemblies in the environmental control system (ECS) with burned BMS 8-39 polyurethane foam insulation. Also a report received from the manufacturer that aircraft were assembled with duct assemblies in the ECS wrapped with BMS 8-39 polyurethane foam insulation, a material of which the fire retardant properties deteriorate with age. The actions of this Directive are intended to prevent a potential electrical arc from igniting the BMS 8-39 polyurethane foam insulation on the duct assemblies of the ECS. |
