HR 3762 United States House · 118th Congress

Emergency Vacating of Aircraft Cabin Act

HR 3762 requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create new evacuation standards for commercial airplanes within 18 months. The standards must address how different passenger groups - such as children, seniors, people with disabilities, non-English speakers, and those with medical devices - can safely exit aircraft. Key factors include cabin layout (seat spacing, aisle width), passenger load, luggage, visibility issues, and the presence of service animals. These rules will directly affect all airline passengers, particularly those with mobility or communication needs during emergencies.
