    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.
