Enhanced Aviation Safety: Mandatory Secondary Cockpit Barriers on Commercial Planes.

This law requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to implement new safety rules. Within 18 months, all commercial passenger aircraft in the U.S. must install a secondary barrier to secure the cockpit. The goal is to enhance passenger and crew safety by preventing unauthorized access to the flight deck.
Key points
All large commercial passenger aircraft (operating under Part 121) must install an additional door or barrier protecting the cockpit.
The change aims to increase flight security and protect pilots from threats, directly impacting passenger safety.
