  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10504
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has withdrawn a proposed rule that would have required changes to certain Sikorsky model helicopters. This decision was made because the issue that prompted the rule, a faulty life raft deployment handle, has been addressed by replacing all the affected handles. The original rule was intended to prevent a handle malfunction that could stop the life raft from deploying in emergencies. The FAA confirmed no public comments were received about the rule or its cost, and they concluded that the rule is no longer necessary.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA decided not to make new rules about fixing a handle on some helicopters because all the broken handles have already been fixed. They checked and found out the problem is already solved.
