1. General
The linings and the furnishings are installed in the cabin to give a cover and accessories to different components and different parts of the cabin. The linings and the furnishings include:
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
3. Component Description
The cabin linings have the shape of the fuselage. They are installed to give a cover to these parts:
  • The fuselage structure
  • The thermal acoustic insulation
  • The components of the electrical system
  • The components of the air conditioning and ventilation system.
The linings are divided into these primary groups:
  • Ceiling panels
  • Sidewall panels
  • Door linings and door frame linings.
Sealing strips fill the spaces between the panels. Each lining has an identification number (Ref. AMM D/O 06-41-53-00).
A. Ceiling Panels
The ceiling panels are made of synthetic honeycomb material. They are installed along the full length of the cabin and the utility area.

(1) Cabin Area
F Ceiling Panels - Cabin Area ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F Ceiling Panels - Cabin Area ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The ceiling panels in the cabin area are installed between the left and the right Overhead Stowage Compartments (OHSC) and have fluorescent lamps. The ballast units are part of the lamp units and are attached to the ceiling panels. Filler strips fill the spaces between the panels. The ceiling panels are attached to the OHSCs with attachment rails and latches.
(2) Utility Area
F Ceiling Panels - Aft Utility Area ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The ceiling panels are installed between the center ceiling support and the door frame linings. They are attached to the mounting rails with assembly seals and fasteners.

(3) Cabin Area
F Ceiling Panels - Cabin Area ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The ceiling panels in the cabin area are installed between the left and the right Overhead Stowage Compartments (OHSC) or to the de-coupling. Seals fill the spaces between the panels. The ceiling panels are attached to the ceiling support brackets with pin/slide cases and match box attachment. Special ceilings are the forward/aft lateral and center ceiling transition panels with ceiling transition beam.
(4) Utility Area
F Ceiling Panels - Aft Utility Area ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The ceiling panels are installed between the center ceiling support and the door frame linings. They are attached to the mounting rails with assembly seals and fasteners.

B. Sidewall Panels
(1) Cove-Light Panels
The cove-light panels are installed between the OHSCs and the upper sidewall panels. Assembly seals attach them to the attachment rails of the OHSCs. The cove-light panels have brackets that are engaged in the fittings behind the top edges of the upper sidewall panels.
(2) Upper Sidewall Panels
F Upper Sidewall Panels ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F Upper Sidewall Panels ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The upper sidewall panels are made of synthetic honeycomb material and have molded-plastic window frames. The panels are installed on special attachment fittings (yo-yo rollers). There are different types of panels, for example with or without a window, 2-frame panels.
Some panels have different equipment installed on them, for example emergency exit markers, electrical sockets.

(3) Lower Sidewall Panels
The lower sidewall panels have two parts:
  • The decorative panels
  • The metal base panels.
The metal base panels and the decorative panels make a channel for the cabin air-conditioning supply. Self-adhesive sound-insulation foam is installed in the channel.
(a) Decorative Panels
The decorative panels are made of Nomex honeycomb material with pre-impregnated phenolic fiberglass. Decorative foil or fabric makes a cover for the front surfaces. Fasteners attach the top parts of the decorative panels to the attachment fittings that are installed on the fuselage structure. Screws attach the bottom parts of the decorative panels to the metal base panels.
(b) Metal Base Panels
Quick-release pins attach the lower parts of the metal base panels to the cabin floor structure. Decompression doors are installed in the metal base panels. Hinges attach the decompression doors to the top parts of the panels. A silicon-rubber locking device holds each decompression door in the closed position. If a rapid decompression occurs in the cabin or in the cargo compartment, the decompression doors will automatically open (Ref. AMM D/O 25-68-00-00).

C. Door Linings and Door Frame Linings
The door and door frame linings are made of synthetic material. Screws attach the panels to brackets on the frames in the door areas. Seals are bonded to the edges of each lining. Covers, in the passenger/crew service doors and frame linings, give a cover for example for the door locking hooks.
