certification for emergency descent

If there is a fan seperation, then the disc might enter the baggage bay.

The baggage door acts as a supplemental pressure bulkhead.

So assuming the door is in place, (not always a certainty on a G550) then the emergency descent can be completed within the certification limits.

It also might have some relevence to ERPOS, but I can not find that reference, sorry.
