"Maintain watching brief of current civil regulating developments regarding mandating of heated fuel tank area inerting during flight in line with recent FAA fireworthiness developments following TWA800 Boeing 747 in-flight fuel tank explosion accident investigation. Findings recommend mandating of fitment on new build, and possibly in-service retro fitment of a fuel tank nitrogen inerting system to prevent the occurrence of an explosive vapour in a partially empty tank."
