My experience is with large transport category Part 25 aircraft and
the burn test requirements are much more severe than Part 23. Read
25.853 sometime. It costs $5000 to burn test each material installed
in a Gulfstream or other transport category aircraft.

Strange, I just looked over the paperwork/billing for a brand spanking
new interior on a "transport category" aircraft, and the only
additional charge was roughly $5000 (total) to burn up one of each
type of seat cushion/back to meet the fire blocking regs.

Does that make "my" interior illegal?
