§The Law

“Aircraft skin areas that cannot support human weight without structural damage should be marked with permanent placards reading "NO STEP" or showing the walk/no-walk zones as specified in the aircraft type certificate data sheet.”
View official regulation text✓Plain English
"NO STEP" decals protect aircraft surfaces that look walkable but will dent or puncture under weight — wing skins, fairings, and cowlings. Missing or faded "NO STEP" markings are an airworthiness defect.
