I bet no-one has done a before/after test to prove it though :-) Good choice to use fireproof foam - do you have specifics?

All the test results I have seen of material designed for the firewall have failed the official FAA test, 2000 degrees for a time I don't remember. Either smoke, fall apart or transfer too much heat. I don't think you need any better than what is needed for interior not against the firewall. Aircraft Spruce sells such a foam, although it doesn't pass with adhesive backing, you can get it without the adhesive, which isn't needed for the floor. The exhaust pipes are angled down and most of the exhaust stays off the bottom of fuselage. -sent from the I-droid implanted in my forearm On Mon, Dec 11, 2017 at 12:55 PM, Gordon Anderson wrote: > > Hi Les, Kelly, it has been suggested that using foam under the front floor > pans can help reduce external noise caused by exhaust resonating on the > underside of the fuselage.
