This a responsibility for anyone with risk knowledge to advise the regulators of a concern.

If this latest issue can not be resolved by equivalency and history then maybe it's time for a new rule making to permit similar changes across all manufacturers
The B737 pop open overwing exits turned out to be a safe innovation done the same way
