Description

Buyer furnished equipment (BFE) is becoming increasingly complex, especially in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems, internet connection services, AC/DC power outlets, and seats.

Potential hazard

  1. Hazardous effects of internal and external high-energy radiated fields emitted from these systems
  2. Inadequate certification processes for flight-critical aircraft systems and required maintenance procedures
  3. New demands on aircraft systems
