Hi

I insulated under my front floor pans using fire break foam. I am considering doing the same think under the rear floor pans for insulation / sound proofing purposes.

I am wondering what others have done in this spot. Is there any real benefit to insulating / soundproofing here?

Inquiring minds need to know.

No measured benefit, but I did it because I had the foam.

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

I don't believe there is such a thing as fireproof foam. 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.
