    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule to address safety concerns related to the emergency escape hatch on certain ATR model airplanes. The rule was prompted by a report that the hatch was difficult to open due to incorrect parts being used. This could impede a flightcrew's ability to evacuate in an emergency. The rule mandates inspections and corrective actions to fix any discrepancies, thereby ensuring these planes are safe for operation.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule to make sure certain planes have emergency escape hatch doors that open easily, so everyone can get out safely in an emergency. They checked the planes because some hatches were hard to open, and now they need to fix them with the right parts to keep everyone safe.
