History and Development of Airline Cabin Safety offers an understanding of how cabin safety evolved over time. It covers six key areas: impact protection, fire protection, egress potential, life support equipment, information and instructions, and cabin professionals.
Exploring the organic choreography of accidents, research, technological progress, rulemaking, and industry response, the book clarifies that cabin safety enhancements were not well planned but came incidentally and step by step. Each step was triggered by accidents with survivability issues, except in one area where a proactive approach proved to be first time right: oxygen for passengers. The step improvements, which mainly occurred in the U.S., concentrated in three waves centered around 1950, 1970, and 1985, respectively.
The book will interest aviation regulators, aircraft manufacturers and operators, cabin safety professionals (including cabin crew), and accident investigation professionals.
?This is an excellent book that has approached the topic of cabin safety and its history in a holistic manner and is quite unique in that respect. It is very well researched and explain clearly the origin of the requirements and as such is a very useful reference book. It highlights a chain of design, operational and human factors that need to be considered together in order to achieve successful evacuations: impact protection, fire protection, egress potential, life support equipment, information and instructions, and cabin professionals. I highly recommend it to any person interested in aircraft cabin safety. It is an excellent example of transferring to younger generations the knowledge and experience of the past in a specialized domain.? - Yves Morier, EASA and French CAA
