本文件由航空航天工业协会（A.I.A.）动力装置安装委员会于1963年发布，作为所有类型飞机的设计手册。从那时起，发起委员会解散，手册无法使用。在这一时期，政府和私人机构在飞机防火方法方面取得了进步，但该手册并未反映这一点。SAE S-12直升机动力装置委员会认识到这一点，但仍认为手册具有很大的当代价值，因此认为它再次提供该手册，为直升机行业提供了有益的服务。 因此，委员会在此不加修改地重新发布整个原始手册，除非删除确认。S-12委员会正在考虑对这架飞机进行未来的修订，以使其更新，并强调直升机动力装置的防火。

This document was issued in 1963 by the Powerplant Installation Committee of the Aerospace Industries Association (A.I.A.) as a design manual for all types of aircraft. Since then the originating Committee was dissolved and the manual became unavailable. In this period, advancements in aircraft fire protection methods have been produced by both governmental and private agencies that are not reflected in the manual. Recognizing this, but nevertheless feeling that there is much of present-day value in the manual, the SAE S-12 Helicopter Powerplant Committee believes it is performing a useful service to the helicopter industry in again making it available. Hence, the Committee herewith reissues without change, as an AIR, the entire original manual except for deletion of Acknowledgements. A future revision to this AIR to bring it up to date and to emphasize helicopter powerplant fire protection is under consideration by the S-12 Committee.
