14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

§ 25.1362 

(b) Burns. The temperature of any 

part that may be handled by a crew-
member during normal operations 
must not cause dangerous inadvertent 
movement by the crewmember or in-
jury to the crewmember. 

[Amdt. 25–123, 72 FR 63406, Nov. 8, 2007] 

§ 25.1362

Electrical supplies for emer-

gency conditions. 

A suitable electrical supply must be 

provided to those services required for 
emergency procedures after an emer-
gency landing or ditching. The circuits 
for these services must be designed, 
protected, and installed so that the 
risk of the services being rendered inef-
fective under these emergency condi-
tions is minimized. 

[Amdt. 25–123, 72 FR 63406, Nov. 8, 2007] 

§ 25.1363

Electrical system tests. 

(a) When laboratory tests of the elec-

trical system are conducted— 

(1) The tests must be performed on a 

mock-up using the same generating 
equipment used in the airplane; 

(2) The equipment must simulate the 

electrical characteristics of the dis-
tribution wiring and connected loads to 
the extent necessary for valid test re-
sults; and 

(3) Laboratory generator drives must 

simulate the actual prime movers on 
the airplane with respect to their reac-
tion to generator loading, including 
loading due to faults. 

(b) For each flight condition that 

cannot be simulated adequately in the 
laboratory or by ground tests on the 
airplane, flight tests must be made. 

§ 25.1365

Electrical appliances, motors, 

and transformers. 

(a) Domestic appliances must be de-

signed and installed so that in the 
event of failures of the electrical sup-
ply or control system, the require-
ments of § 25.1309(b), (c), and (d) will be 
satisfied. Domestic appliances are 
items such as cooktops, ovens, coffee 
makers, water heaters, refrigerators, 
and toilet flush systems that are 
placed on the airplane to provide serv-
ice amenities to passengers. 

(b) Galleys and cooking appliances 

must be installed in a way that mini-
mizes risk of overheat or fire. 

(c) Domestic appliances, particularly 

those in galley areas, must be installed 
or protected so as to prevent damage or 
contamination of other equipment or 
systems from fluids or vapors which 
may be present during normal oper-
ation or as a result of spillage, if such 
damage or contamination could create 
a hazardous condition. 

(d) Unless compliance with § 25.1309(b) 

is provided by the circuit protective 
device required by § 25.1357(a), electric 
motors and transformers, including 
those installed in domestic systems, 
must have a suitable thermal protec-
tion device to prevent overheating 
under normal operation and failure 
conditions, if overheating could create 
a smoke or fire hazard.

§ 25.1381

Instrument lights. 

(a) The instrument lights must— 
(1) Provide sufficient illumination to 

make each instrument, switch and 
other device necessary for safe oper-
ation easily readable unless sufficient 
illumination is available from another 
source; and 

(2) Be installed so that— 
(i) Their direct rays are shielded from 

the pilot’s eyes; and 

(ii) No objectionable reflections are 

visible to the pilot. 

(b) Unless undimmed instrument 

lights are satisfactory under each ex-
pected flight condition, there must be a 
means to control the intensity of illu-
mination. 

[Doc. No. 5066, 29 FR 18291, Dec. 24, 1964, as 
amended by Amdt. 25–72, 55 FR 29785, July 20, 
1990] 

§ 25.1383

Landing lights. 

(a) Each landing light must be ap-

proved, and must be installed so that— 

(1) No objectionable glare is visible 

to the pilot; 

(2) The pilot is not adversely affected 

by halation; and 

(3) It provides enough light for night 

landing. 

(b) Except when one switch is used 

for the lights of a multiple light instal-
lation at one location, there must be a 
separate switch for each light.
