Reading Time:about 12 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule for Airbus Helicopters due to a safety concern. This new rule addresses a problem with the sliding doors on certain models, where a door locked in the open position could detach during flight. To fix this, the proposed rule requires modifications to the door components and prohibits installing the faulty parts. Public comments on this proposed rule are being accepted until March 3, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure certain helicopters are safe by fixing doors that could fly off. They're telling people how to do it and want to know what everyone thinks about this plan.
