FAR 25.981 and FTFR Rule Compliance that is Reliable and Cost-Effective
ATLANTA, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jetaire Group's INVICTA aircraft fuel tank ignition mitigation solution is readily available to fulfill compliance for new FAA Airworthiness Directives (AD) issued for the Boeing 737, 757, 767, and 777 aircraft. These ADs were prompted by the Federal Aviation Association's (FAA) analysis of the fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer.
These requirements mandate modifying the Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS) to prevent development of an ignition source inside the center fuel tank due to electrical fault conditions. The ADs also provide alternative actions for cargo airplanes. The FAA issued Airworthiness Directives against Boeing 737, 757, 767, and 777 aircraft includes aircraft in a cargo configuration.
Jetaire Group holds the FAA Supplement Type Certificates (STC) for the installation of their INVICTA technology for the Boeing family of 737, 757, and 767 aircraft and the Airbus A320 series. INVICTA is known as the most reliable and cost-effective mitigation fuel tank flammability system in the industry and is easy to install, requires no maintenance, and has no failure modes.
Jetaire is the original developer of a foam technology as a means of compliance to 14 CFR 25.981. Jetaire's INVICTA foam ignition mitigation method kits and components, affecting compliance with 14 CFR 25.981, are patented by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the unauthorized re-design, use, and/or reproduction of the same is forbidden.
