The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a petition from ATL Europe seeking an exemption from specific Federal Aviation Regulations related to a Crew Rest Module (CRM) in cargo aircraft. This notice, aimed at boosting public involvement in the FAA's exemption process, details ATL Europe's request to carry up to two authorized persons in a CRM located in a cargo area of the plane and to bypass the requirement for manual deployment of oxygen units in this setup. Public comments on this petition are due by April 8, 2025, and can be submitted through various methods including mail, online, or in-person delivery.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is thinking about letting a company called ATL Europe use a special resting area for two people in the back of a cargo airplane without needing to use oxygen masks the usual way. They want people to say if they think this is okay by April 8, 2025.
