Seems like a slap on the wrist really.

Its not for flight safety but rather security it seems :(


"Frankly, we're not talking about a huge deal here," Mackey said. "A 400-pound guy charging at the door probably wouldn't break through either rivet."

Could a 400lb guy really charge down the isle of a Q400?

Welll, they seem to think he could fit in a seat, at least for a relatively short period of time!

I don't think Q400s are even on the radar of nefarious individuals.

Fly Horizon Air, now with a 100% Q400 Terrorprop fleet (the Q stands for al Qaeda).

A Q400 is its own isle. Now as far as him fitting down the aisle, probably not so easy.

With the weight balance issue of the Q400, the pilots would have plenty of warning
that a 400ib object was lumbering up the aisle. Only to become stuck in the loo.

Seems more like a bureaucracy that takes the letter of the rule more seriously than the actual effect, particularly when it IS for one of the many nearly useless security rules and not flight safety.

The fine will probably be knocked down quite a bit as has been the case with previous fines.

Or thrown out since the part wasn't bought from the 'approved' list. Wonder if the washer company that seems to of lost the bid brought this to the attention of the FAA... -speculation of course.
