Type 3 - Example to determine the maximum flight altitude allowed to show compliance at a point along a flight route with the maximum cabin ozone concentration. Equation 2 can be rewritten to determine oz16, the ambient ozone concentration derived from statistics with a confidence of 84 percent.

oz16 OZMAX (Equation 5) _(0.62) (1-E)) For OZMAX = 0.25 ppmv and no filter E = 0, Equation 5 becomes:

OZ16 = (0.25) _(0.62)J = 0.40 ppmv

(1) Case 1. Latitude: 50° North For this case, page 16 of this appendix (Page A-15 of the ozonesonde statistics) shows the Ozl6 value of 0.40 ppmv occurs for flight level 340. (This value is determined by straight line interpolation between the Ozl6 values of 0.35 ppmv and

0.45 ppmv occurring at flight levels 330 and 350, respectively. The use of straight line interpolation is pennissible where appropriate.)

THIS POINT ALONG THE FLIGHT WOULD HAVE TO BE FLOWN AT OR BELOW 34,000 FEET TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE MAXIMUM CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(2) Case 2. Latitude: 40° North For this case, page 17 of this appendix (page A-16 of the ozonesonde statistics) shows the oz16 value of 0.40 ppmv occurs for flight level 370.

THIS POINT ALONG THE FLIGHT WOULD HAVE TO BE FLOWN AT OR BELOW 37,00 FEET TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE MAXIMUM CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

d. Variation of Type 3. The example shown for Type 3 can be extended to show compliance with the maxinum cabin ozone concentration established by FAR Part 121 at any latitude for any month of the year. One example of such a determination is shown in Figure 2 for an airplane flying in eastern North America with R = 0.8, E = 0, and a cabin altitude of 7,000 feet (which, like the Type 3 example, gives a required OZ16 of 0.40 ppmv).

Appendix 1 Examples - Time-Weighted Average (IWA) Cabin Ozone Concentration (.1 ppmv, SLE).

To determine the TWA cabin ozone concentration, the OZl6 values are used to ensure that the ozone statistics are known with an 84 percent confidence value for any one flight (the 50 percent value would only give a confidence value of 50 percent that a flight would meet the required ozone concentration standard).,

a. The IWA cabin ozone concentration using ozone statistics is given by Equation 6 which is similar to Equation 1 with time weighted Oz16 values for flight segments at constant latitude and altitude in the same geographic area.

OZ16 = (1-E) (R) (P/PO) (O216) i "i/IFS (Equation 6) WHERE: N is the number of individual flight segments at a constant latitude and tele at santane fatual and fuse in the sane gentape e flight NOTE: Fi = 718 i=l (Oz16) i is the ambient ozone concentration obtained from the ozone statistics with a confidence level of 84 percent which is estimated to be encountered during the tine period, Ti In all the example types shown, the following values are assumed: R = 0.8 and ₽/Po = 0.77. Equation 6 then can be written as:

OZIWA = (0.8) (0.77) (1-E) (10226) (51/755) OZIWA = (0.62) (1-E) (OZ16) ¡ (T¡/IFS) (Equation 7) i=l

b. Type 1 - Example to determine if a flight is in compliance with the IWA cabin ozone concentration. For all Type 1 examples, assume the following:

month is February, the flight level is 370, no filter (or F-0), and the flight segment (IFs) is 5 hours. Two hours are flown in the eastern North American region (ENAR) and two hours are flown in the western North American region (WNAR) above flight level 180.

(1) Case 1. Latitude: 50° North Pages A-15 and A-12 of the ozonesonde statistics (Figure 1 of this advisory circular) give OZ16 = 0.50 ppnv for the ENAR and OZ16 = 0.25 ppmv for the WAR.

Therefore, from Equation 7:

OZIWA = (0.62) (0.50 x 2 + 0.25 x 2) = 0.19 pm 6

Page 15OCROpen in PDF

Appendix 1

THIS FLIGHT WOULD NOT HAVE DEMONSTRATED COMPLIANCE WITH THE MAXIMUM TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(2) Case 2. Latitude: 40° North Pages A-16 and A-13 of the ozonesonde statistics (Figure 1 of this advisory circular) give OZ16 = 0.40 ppmv for the ENAR and OZ16 = 0.50 ppmv for the WAR.

Therefore:

OZIWA = (0.62) (0.40 × 2 + 0.50 x 2) = 0.22 pm

THIS FLIGHT WOULD NOT HAVE DEMONSTRATED COMPLIANCE WITH THE MAXIMUM TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(3) Case 3. Latitude: 30° North Figure 1 of this advisory circular (page A-16 and interpolation between pages A-16 and A-11 of the ozonesonde statistics) gives Oz16 = 0.12 ppmv for the ENAR and OZ16 = 0.10 ppmv for the WAR. Therefore:

OZIWA = (0.62) (0.12 x 2 + 0.10 × 2) = 0.05 pm

THIS FLIGHT WOULD HAVE DEMONSTRATED COMPLIANCE WITH THE MAXIMUM TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

c. Type 2 - Example to determine the filter efficiency required to show compliance with the IWA cabin ozone concentration. Equation 7 can be rewritten to determine E, the filter efficiency:

(OZIWA) (IpS) (Equation 8)

(0.62) (0Z16) ¡(Ti) _i=l For OZMAX = 0.1 ppmv and the flight conditions of the example Type 1, Equation 8 becomes: E = 1 - (0.1) (5) /10.62) 12 × (0216) 1 + 2 × (0216)2 = 1 - (0.40) (Equation 9) ((0216)1 + (0216)2

(1) Case 1. Latitude: 50° North OZ16 is 0.50 pm for ENAR and 0.25 ppmv for WAR. (see Type 1, Case 1) E = 1 - L10.50 + 0.25) 1(0.40) = 1 - 0.53 = 0.47 = 47%

Page 16OCROpen in PDF

Appendix 1 INSTALLATION OF A FILTER WHICH REMOVES 47 PERCENT OF THE OZONE ENTERING THE CABIN

WOULD ENABLE THIS FLIGHT TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(2) Case 2. Latitude: 40° North OZ16 = 0.40 pm for ENAR and 0.50 pm for WAR. (see Type 1, Case 2) E = 1 -| (0.40) [(0.40 + 0.50)] = 1 - 0.44 = 0.56 = 56₴ INSTALLATION OF A FILTER WHICH REMOVES 56 PERCENT OF THE OZONE ENTERING THE CABIN

WOULD ENABLE THIS FLIGHT TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(3) Case 3. Latitude: 30° North

NO FILTER REQUIRED AS COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121 WAS SHOWN DURING EXAMPLE TYPE 1, CASE 3.

d. Variation of Type 2. The filter efficiency required for an airplane to show compliance with the TWA cabin ozone concentration for the worst case can be determined using the method of the Type 2 example. For a worst case analysis, the assumptions are the same as were used for the worst case analysis for the maximum ozone concentration example.

P/Po = 0.74 ppmv R = 1.0 Flight Level is 450 OZ16 = 1.8 ppmv In addition, the total flight segment time (IFs) is 14 hours, Equation 6 can be rewritten as:

E = 1 - (OZTWA) (IFS) (OZ16) (R) (P/PO) (TES - 1).

= 1 (0.1) (14) 1(1.8) (1.0) (0.74) (13)] = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92 = 92% INSTALLATION OF A FILTER WHICH REMOVES 92 PERCENT OF THE OZONE ENTERING THE CABIN

WOULD ENABLE AN AIRPLANE TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121 UNDER THE WORST CASE CONDITIONS.

Type 3 - Example to determine the maximum flight altitude allowed to show compliance with the IVA cabin ozone concentration. Equation 7 can be rewritten to

Appendix 1 determine ozl6, the ambient ozone concentration derived from statistics with a confidence of 84 percent.

(OZ16)](T1) (TI) + (I2) = (OZIWA) (Ips) (0.62) (1-E) For OZIWA = 0.10 ppmv, no filter (E=0), and a total flight segment of 5 hours, with 2 hours above 18,000 feet in both the ENAR and WAR, Equation 10 becomes:

(0216) 1 + (0216) 2 = (0.10) (5) 0.40 ppmv [(0.62) (2)]

(1) Case 1. Latitude: 50° North For this case, pages A-12 and A-15 of the ozonesonde statistics show that 0216) 1 † (OZ16) 2 equals 0.51 ppmv at flight level 330 and 0.34 ppmv at flight Linear interpolation shows a value of 0.40 ppmv occurs for a flight level of 316.

THIS EXAMPLE FLIGHT WOULD HAVE TO FLY AT OR BELOW 31,600 FEET TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(2) Case 2. Latitude: 40° North For this case, pages A-13 and A-16 of the ozonesonde statistics show that (OZ16)] + (OZ16)2 equals 0.55 ppmv at a flight level of 330 and 0.38 ppmv at a flight level of 310. Linear interpolation shows a value of 0.40 ppmv occurs tor a flight level of 312.

THIS EXAMPLE FLIGHT WOULD HAVE TO FLY AT OR BELOW 31,200 FEET TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.

(3) Case 3. Latitude: 30° North For this case, use of data on pages A-ll and A-16 of the ozonesonde statistics, interpolated as described in paragraph 2i of this appendix, shows (0216)1 + (0216) 2 equals 0.63 pmv at a flight level of 470 and 0.37 ppmv at a flight level of 450. Linear interpolation shows a value of 0.40 opmv occurs for a flight level of 452.

THIS EXAMPLE FLIGHT WOULD HAVE TO FLY AT OR BELOW 45,200 FEET TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE TWA CABIN OZONE CONCENTRATION ESTABLISHED BY FAR PART 121.
