Description
Under new EASA Part 26.170 and 26.400, operators of large airplanes and large helicopters for which the first individual certificate of airworthiness is issued on or after May 18, 2019, shall ensure that portable fire extinguishers do not use Halon as the extinguishing agent. This ban applies to built-in lavatory extinguishers on aircraft newly certified on or after Feb. 18, 2020. The goal is to gradually mitigate the environmental impact that Halon extinguishing agents in firefighting equipment have on the ozone and climate.
