ASTM F3316/F3316M-19 PDF Download

The ASTM F3316/F3316M-19 standard specifies the requirements for the electrical systems, electrical equipment, and electrical power distribution for aircraft with electric or hybrid-electric propulsion. It was primarily developed for aircraft with electric propulsion systems, but it can also be applied to hybrid-electric configurations with the use of additional relevant specifications.

The standard emphasizes the airworthiness and design aspects of electrical systems for aircraft, focusing on normal category aeroplanes. However, the applicability of the standard can be extended to other types of aircraft, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate its broader applicability.

Applicants intending to propose this standard as a means of compliance for design approval should consult their respective oversight authority for guidance on its acceptable use and application. The standard may present information in SI units, English engineering units, or a combination of both. It is essential to use each system independently and not combine values from different systems to ensure conformance with the standard.
