The cause of cabin odors is usually hard to be identified when there is no specific crew alerts or indications, which could have a catastrophic effect on civil aircrafts. Fault analysis has been conducted based on FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) in this paper to locate fault sources of cabin odors. A checklist is recommended to be performed during the flight or ground tests afterwards, which could provide quantitative references. An actual case applying the troubleshooting and analysis method above is shared at the end.
