1 Scope
This document specifies the minimum dimensional and unobstructed space requirements
around future civil-passenger transport aircraft upper deck passenger doors when they
are intended to be compatible with passenger boarding bridges planned in airports
worldwide.
This document is not applicable to existing models of civil transport aircraft, or
derivative models with entry into service up to year 2000 with the same fuselage,
for which the aircraft-mating section of passenger boarding bridges or passenger transfer
vehicles is expected to be compatible with ISO 16004. However, it is expected that the design of such aircraft types may be taken into
account for design of passenger boarding bridges capable of upper deck servicing,
in addition to this document.
It is not the intent of this document to restrict in any way the basic design of any
future types of civil-passenger transport aircraft. It aims, however, at clarifying
for aircraft design engineers the design characteristics which would make it difficult
or impossible for a new type of aircraft to adequately connect with airport passenger
boarding bridges. Should basic aircraft design requirements impose on a future model
certain dimensional characteristics not complying with this document, note that:
— either alternative methods of embarking/disembarking passengers will need to be implemented,
such as using the internal aircraft stairs, etc.;
— or upper deck passenger boarding bridges in the airports where s...
