A conspicuous violation or did they get a waiver?
One of the most spotted planes has to be Trump’s B-757-200, N757AF.
That plane’s Type Certificate was issued under FAA FAR 25, certification of transport category aircraft.
In Part 25 there is this, FAR
25.811(f)(1&2)
(f) Each emergency exit that is required to be openable from the outside, and its means of opening, must be marked on the outside of the airplane. In addition, the following apply:
(1) The outside marking for each passenger emergency exit in the side of the fuselage must include a 2-inch colored band outlining the exit.
(2) Each outside marking including the band, must have color contrast to be readily distinguishable from the surrounding fuselage surface. The contrast must be such that if the reflectance of the darker color is 15 percent or less, the reflectance of the lighter color must be at least 45 percent. “Reflectance” is the ratio of the luminous flux reflected by a body to the luminous flux it receives. When the reflectance of the darker color is greater than 15 percent, at least a 30-percent difference between its reflectance and the reflectance of the lighter color must be provided
Now I’ve seen a lot of pics of this plane, and there ain’t no contrasting band around any of the exits.
So, a violation or do ya think there’s a waiver?
