• 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

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

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

– 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
* In operation means period from the moment the aircraft pushes off the gate for flight until it return to the gate from flight.
