A Camera Installation in a Pressurized Part 23 Aircraft

This paper describes some of the steps necessary to certificate a camera installation in a Part 23 aircraft. The camera is large and necessitates the severing of a major structural member (keel beam). Damage tolerance analysis is required because of the penetration of the pressure vessel. Cable rerouting is necessary because of the location of the hole. The design, the basis for the structural substantiation and the structural substantiation of this design are discussed in this paper.
