Diamond airplanes must get new door latches after doors kept falling off

The US aviation regulator proposes new rules for certain Diamond Aircraft planes. Owners must update their flight manuals, modify the aircraft, and regularly inspect door latches and safety hooks.

This is a proposed rule, but it means that if you own one of these Diamond planes, you will soon have to pay for mandatory inspections and modifications. The regulator is acting because several passenger doors have separated from the fuselage during flight. This is a direct response to a safety failure, not a proactive upgrade.
