Avionics bay

Avionics bay, also known as E&E bay or electronic equipment bay in aerospace engineering is known as compartment in an aircraft that houses the avionics and other electronic equipment, such as flight control computers, navigation systems, communication systems, and other electronic equipment essential for the operation.

[1][2] In larger commercial airplanes, the main avionics compartment is typically located in the forward section of the aircraft under the cockpit.

[3] Purpose of its location is to provide easy access to the avionics and other electronic equipment for maintenance and repair.

Suppressants, such as Halon, operate by either chemically interrupting the combustion process or by reducing the oxygen concentration within the bay's atmosphere.
