Baggage Compartment Classifications
Class C with the following restrictions
- A separate approved smoke detector or fire detector system to give warning to pilot station
- An approved built in fire extinguishing system controllable from the pilot station
- Any means to exclude hazardous quantities of smoke, flames or extinguishing agent, from any compartment occupied by the crew or passengers
- Any means to control ventilation and draughts within the compartment so that the extinguishing agent used can control the fire that may start within the compartment.
