Critics argue FAA's evacuation testing standards do not reflect today's crowded aircraft conditions, lacking diverse passenger representation, a concern highlighted by U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth.
Duckworth's proposed EVAC Act aims to update FAA evacuation rules, requiring consideration of realistic scenarios to ensure passenger safety during emergencies.
The legislation, part of the FAA reauthorization bill, passed the Senate and awaits House approval, signaling a potential shift in evacuation standards enforcement.
