USA FAA Mandated Security Screen Doors

[AuSammy]

I just saw this pic elsewhere. Apparently FAA have mandated for all deliveries of new aircraft be fitted with new secondary security doors so passengers can’t access the area between the coughpit and the front toilets / front galley while a pilot is relieving themselves.

Apparently as a result of lobbying by a relative of a passenger on United93.

There is chatter of a potential a retro fit programme for existing aircraft.

This pic taken on a recent AA flight.

My first question is - in the event of an emergency how do passengers depart the aircraft in the event crew is disabled?



@admin if this is in wrong spot feel free to move it to another thread

This would take the place of an FA standing in the way while a Pilot is out of the coughpit. The screen would would not be deployed all of the time.
