TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: In cooperation with the aircraft manufacturers and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, utilize the results of already extensive research and accident investigation data to develop and implement major improvements in the design of transport aircraft interiors. Of particular concern are improvements in the crashworthiness of galley equipment, stewardess seats and restraining devices, and the flammability cabin interior materials. (Superseded by A-83-78)
