Abstract
This final rule amends the regulations governing portable protective breathing equipment (PBE) required for crewmembers' use in combating in-flight fires. It is intended to codify exemptions currently in place, clarify ambiguities in the existing regulations, and allow air carriers added flexibility with compliance while maintaining or increasing safety.
