\"\"In Short:<\/strong> Following a three-year effort from industry groups and aircraft manufacturers, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO<\/strong>) will\u00a0raise the weight threshold for requiring hardened cockpit doors for aircraft with 19 or fewer passenger seats<\/strong> from 45.5 metric tons (100,310 pounds) maximum certificated takeoff weight to 54.5 metric tons (120,152 pounds)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This decision will enable the full type certification and worldwide use of current and future extended-range business aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 7000 and Gulfstream G650ER.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has changed its weight rules regarding strengthened cockpit doors on business jets. Toughened doors are required for aircraft operating charter flights.<\/p>\n

Previous rules stated that hardened doors were needed for business jets with 19 seats or fewer, with a maximum take-off weight of 100,310lbs (45.5T). The new rules increase the maximum take-off weight to 120,152lbs (54.5T).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis change maintains the security level intended by the original hardened cockpit door requirement, but recognizes the important distinction between airline service and business aircraft operations,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said Sarah Wolf, CAM, NBAA senior manager of security and facilitation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The International Business Aviation Council<\/a> (IBAC), in concert with the International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations and aircraft manufacturers, proposed the changes to Annex 6 Part 1 \u2013 International Commercial Air Transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effort took much planning and working through the full standard-making process at ICAO and shows ICAO recognition of greater operational capabilities and industry evolution,\u201d<\/em> said IBAC Director General Kurt Edwards.<\/p>\n

The new standard will become effective Jul 16, 2018, and applicable to member states in Nov 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n
