Smoke in Cockpit
• Concern
– FAA’s growing concern over numerous reports of smoke/ fumes in cockpit/cabin
– FAA data analysis indicates numerous events not being reported
– Secretary of Transportation interest and concern has prompted FAA to issue new policy

Smoke in the Cockpit
Regulation – Required Reports
• 121, 135, 125 Service Difficulty Reporting - 91 Subpart K Mechanical Reliability Reports
– Each certificate holder shall report . . .
• An aircraft component that causes accumulation or circulation of smoke, vapor, or toxic or noxious fumes in the crew compartment or passenger cabin during flight

Smoke in the Cockpit
New Guidance – FSAW 06-05 • Applicability
– Principal Inspectors – Airworthiness (PIs) assigned to 121, 135, 125, 91 Subpart K
• Purpose
– Provide PIs guidance to follow-up notification of smoke/fumes in cockpit/cabin events
– Required Program Tracking and Reporting System (PTRS) reporting will allow FAA to further analyze and trend these events

Smoke in the Cockpit
New Guidance – FSAW 06-05 • PIs Requirements
– Determine adequacy of air carrier’s procedures for reporting, investigating, corrective action and follow up of events
– PI follow up each event to determine programs are working as intended and effective
– PIs PTRS entry for each event

Smoke in the Cockpit
New Guidance – FSAW 06-05 • Events PIs must report (PTRS)
– All events (reported by certificate holder or other) of smoke/fumes in cockpit/cabin while aircraft is in operation * to include:
• All legitimate or erroneous reports• Whether a discrepancy actually existed or returned to
service with no faults found

Smoke in the Cockpit
New Guidance – Flight Standards Airworthiness Information Bulletin (FSAW) 06-05
• PIs review of Certificate Holders Procedures
– Continuing Analysis Surveillance System• Proper investigation of smoke/fume events to detect and
correct deficiencies in programs
– SDR Reporting• Complete, accurate data• Submitted to FAA within certain timeframe

New Guidance – FSAW 06-05
• PTRS Required Entries cont.
– Discrepancy (Specific language, i.e., smoke, fumes, odor, fire, etc.)
– ATA two digit system code– Corrective action (To include no fault found or could
not duplicate)– Air carrier action to prevent event from recurring
