They must install a new placard adjacent to the window handle that reads: **\"DITCHING EXIT PULL HANDLE\"**. The lettering must match the size of the original placard.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nOwners and operators of Pilatus Britten-Norman BN-2 series aeroplanes.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis improves clarity during emergency water landings (called \"ditching\"). The new placard gives passengers and crew specific, unambiguous instructions for using the window as an exit during a water emergency, which could save lives.\n\n**Compliance:**\nThe work had to be completed within 200 hours of flight time after 29 February 1972."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-bn-2-22-emergency-exits-placard","history":"/api/acts/ad-bn-2-22-emergency-exits-placard/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-bn-2-22-emergency-exits-placard/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-bn-2-22-emergency-exits-placard/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-bn-2-22-emergency-exits-placard/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-bn-2-22-emergency-exits-placard/documents"}}
