Scope
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides an overview of fire and overheat protection approaches that have been utilized for engine electronic units. While the electronic engine control (EEC) is the engine electronic unit specifically addressed in this document, the approaches presented can extend to any engine electronic unit, including monitoring units and other electronic based engine components.
Rationale
The design and testing of the engine electronic unit’s fire and overheat protection scheme is a critical task faced by the aerospace industry. It is fundamentally difficult to argue and demonstrate the safe operation of an engine electronic unit when subjected to fire, yet the design features introduced to address this issue must not jeopardize the safe operation of the engine that they control or monitor in normal operation. The aerospace industry has tried many varied approaches to reaching the right compromise in this difficult area and this guide highlights some of that experience that should aid the industry in general.

Areas of interest will include, but not be limited to, the design, installation, operation and maintenance of engine control system components including metering components and actuators and the interface and communication methods for (A) Cockpit Displays, (B) Flight Control, ¿ Diagnostic and Health Monitoring Systems. Coordination with other SAE committees will occur to minimize redundant activities within the organization and maximize the benefit of additional recommendations and standards.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
