Dynamic Seat Testing
Dynamic Seat Testing is a critical part of demonstrating that aircraft seating systems, including restraints, can protect occupants during emergency landing conditions. ACES supports seat certification programs addressing both static requirements associated with TSO-C39 and dynamic requirements associated with TSO-C127, with engineering, certification expertise, test planning, and convenient access to full-scale sled testing capabilities for evaluations including Head Injury Criterion (HIC), structural performance, and occupant restraint.
By coordinating dynamic testing with related engineering, flammability testing, and DER support, ACES helps customers identify potential issues, document compliance with applicable requirements, and move seating projects efficiently from initial design and modification through testing and final certification.
Head Injury Criterion (HIC) is one of the dynamic seat testing areas supported by ACES as part of its aircraft seating and restraint-system testing capabilities.
Dynamic seating and restraint systems are evaluated through sled testing to demonstrate compliance with applicable aircraft certification requirements. Seats are subjected to specified G-force conditions and configurations during these test programs.
Learn MoreACES identifies 21G / 26G Dynamic Test Witnessing as a dynamic seat testing capability associated with 14 CFR § 23.562.
Dynamic seating and restraint systems are subjected to sled testing and prescribed G-force configurations to demonstrate compliance with applicable aircraft certification requirements.
ACES notes that a full-scale sled testing facility is located nearby, helping reduce travel requirements and avoid costly delays associated with coordinating dynamic test programs.
Applicable CFRs
Learn MoreACES provides 16G Dynamic Test Witnessing for aircraft seating and restraint-system certification programs associated with 14 CFR § 25.562.
Dynamic seating and restraint systems must undergo sled testing to demonstrate compliance with applicable certification requirements. During testing, seats are subjected to G-forces in various prescribed configurations.
ACES supports dynamic test programs with convenient access to a full-scale sled testing facility located nearby, reducing travel expenses and helping minimize scheduling delays.
Dynamic Test Witnessing
Applicable CFRs
Learn MoreACES identifies 18.4G Dynamic Test Witnessing as a dynamic seat testing capability associated with 14 CFR §§ 27.562 and 29.562 .
As with ACES' other dynamic seat testing capabilities, seating and restraint systems are evaluated through sled testing using prescribed G-force conditions and configurations to support demonstration of compliance with applicable certification requirements.
ACES has convenient access to a nearby full-scale sled testing facility, helping reduce travel requirements and avoid unnecessary project delays.
