- Contexto
- The fuel cell of the DHC-6 ruptured and created the vaporous cloud of fuel that the witnesses on the Colorado River most likely had observed.
- ICCAIA (CAAF/09-WP/13) provided a snapshot of current knowledge and past experiments associated with non drop-in fuels and advanced aircraft system power technologies with the aim of demonstrating that the requirements for drop-in fuels are actually based on sound technical arguments and data. Non drop-in fuels have proved most useful for use other than in aircraft main engines, for example using hydrogen in a fuel cell to provide energy for on-board electrical supply. It was realized that current commercial aviation is highly dependent on oil to produce the appropriate fuel (kerosene) that matches the requirements necessary to support air travel.
- The Council considered C-WP/14001, presented by the President of the Air Navigation Commission and which contained a proposal to amend the 2013-2014 edition of the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284). It was noted that the proposal includes an amendment to a reference for safety standards for fuel cell technologies as well as an amendment to the passenger and crew provisions to carry dangerous goods.
