The rates applicable to the temperature variation procedures defined in Subsection 5.3 are
as follows:
Category A – For equipment external to the aircraft or internal to the aircraft: 10 degrees Celsius minimum per minute.
Category B – For equipment in a non-temperature-controlled or partially temperature
controlled internal section of the aircraft: 5 degrees Celsius minimum per minute.
Category C – For equipment in a temperature-controlled internal section of the aircraft: 2 degrees Celsius minimum per
minute.
Category S1 – For equipment external to the aircraft or internal to the aircraft: known rate of change greater than 10
degrees Celsius per minute. The rate of change shall be noted in the Qualification Form.
Category S2 – For equipment external to the aircraft or internal to the aircraft: unknown rate of change greater than 10
degrees Celsius per minute.
