Airbus helicopters must fix windows that can be opened by hand

The US aviation regulator proposes a new rule for Airbus H160-B helicopters. It would require owners to fix a problem where emergency exit windows can be opened too easily by hand.

This is a small, specific fix for a single helicopter model. It shows how regulators respond to manufacturing defects that could compromise safety. The rule ensures that a known flaw is corrected across all affected aircraft, preventing potential accidents.
