Rationale: Revision includes alternatives to dry ice and heat source, as well as dimensional corrections for air-through cart inlets. The design of the in-flight food storage (galley) cart and its interface with the airplane galley cooling system is important for maintaining the thermal environment necessary for keeping food and beverages in a safe and high-quality condition. This document provides design guidance, performance criteria, and test methods to ensure that the galley cart exhibits the characteristics necessary to comply with this thermal requirement.
