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.
