Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This directive applies to Aero Resources J2 Series Gyroplanes (a type of light rotorcraft). It requires that instructions for how to operate the door handles must be clearly marked on both sides of the doors (inside and outside).

The markings must:

Use letters that are easy to read
Be placed on a background that contrasts with the text (so they stand out)

This must be completed before the aircraft can get its Certificate of Airworthiness (the official safety certificate that allows an aircraft to fly).

Why it matters: This ensures pilots and passengers can quickly figure out how to open the doors in an emergency, reducing the risk of being trapped in the aircraft.
