§ 25.1431

Electronic equipment. 

(a) In showing compliance with 

§ 25.1309 (a) and (b) with respect to 
radio and electronic equipment and 
their installations, critical environ-
mental conditions must be considered. 

(b) Radio and electronic equipment 

must be supplied with power under the 
requirements of § 25.1355(c). 

(c) Radio and electronic equipment, 

controls, and wiring must be installed 
so that operation of any one unit or 
system of units will not adversely af-
fect the simultaneous operation of any 
other radio or electronic unit, or sys-
tem of units, required by this chapter. 

(d) Electronic equipment must be de-

signed and installed such that it does 
not cause essential loads to become in-
operative as a result of electrical 
power supply transients or transients 
from other causes.

amended by Amdt. 25–113, 69 FR 12530, Mar. 
16, 2004] 

§ 25.1433

Vacuum systems. 

There must be means, in addition to 

the normal pressure relief, to auto-
matically relieve the pressure in the 
discharge lines from the vacuum air 
pump when the delivery temperature of 
the air becomes unsafe.

1990] 

§ 25.1435

Hydraulic systems. 

(a) 

Element design. 

Each element of 

the hydraulic system must be designed 
to: 

(1) Withstand the proof pressure 

without permanent deformation that 
would prevent it from performing its 
intended functions, and the ultimate 
pressure without rupture. The proof 
and ultimate pressures are defined in 
terms of the design operating pressure 
(DOP) as follows:

tors) .........................................

Low pressure (e.g., reservoirs) ..

(2) Withstand, without deformation 

that would prevent it from performing 
its intended function, the design oper-
ating pressure in combination with 
limit structural loads that may be im-
posed; 

(3) Withstand, without rupture, the 

design operating pressure multiplied by 
a factor of 1.5 in combination with ulti-
mate structural load that can reason-
ably occur simultaneously; 

(4) Withstand the fatigue effects of 

all cyclic pressures, including tran-
sients, and associated externally in-
duced loads, taking into account the 
consequences of element failure; and 

(5) Perform as intended under all en-

vironmental conditions for which the 
airplane is certificated. 

(b) 

System design. 

Each hydraulic sys-

tem must: 

(1) Have means located at a 

flightcrew station to indicate appro-
priate system parameters, if 

(i) It performs a function necessary 

for continued safe flight and landing; 
or 

(ii) In the event of hydraulic system 

malfunction, corrective action by the 
crew to ensure continued safe flight 
and landing is necessary; 

(2) Have means to ensure that system 

pressures, including transient pres-
sures and pressures from fluid volu-
metric changes in elements that are 
likely to remain closed long enough for 
such changes to occur, are within the 
design capabilities of each element, 
such that they meet the requirements 
defined in § 25.1435(a)(1) through (a)(5); 

(3) Have means to minimize the re-

lease of harmful or hazardous con-
centrations of hydraulic fluid or vapors 
into the crew and passenger compart-
ments during flight; 

(4) Meet the applicable requirements 

of §§ 25.863, 25.1183, 25.1185, and 25.1189 if 
a flammable hydraulic fluid is used; 
and 

(5) Be designed to use any suitable 

hydraulic fluid specified by the air-
plane manufacturer, which must be 
identified by appropriate markings as 
required by § 25.1541.
