The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued new safety standards for two specific models of airplanes: the ATR42-500 and the ATR72-212A.
Why it matters: This is a technical regulatory update required because the planes have a digital design feature that existing safety rules didn’t account for. It ensures the plane meets safety standards before it can fly.
Who it affects
- Aircraft manufacturers (ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional)
This is a final rule from the Federal Aviation Administration; readers should consult the Federal Register for full technical details.
