An aircraft having a hatch and a fall-protection device includes a structure comprising a roof pierced with an opening, a cover plate, and a lock provided to adopt a locking position, in which the lock holds the cover plate in the closed position in the opening, or, alternatively, an unlocked position, in which the lock does not hold the cover plate. The aircraft further comprises at least one fall-protection device provided so that, when the lock moves into the unlocked position, it is in a first position to allow movement of the cover plate under the influence of gravity from its closed position to an intermediate position, in which the cover plate is suspended from the structure and then moves from the first position into a second position, during which movement the cover plate moves from the intermediate position into an open position, no longer attached to the structure.

The invention relates to a rest module for accommodating a least one crew member of an aircraft, wherein the module comprises a first partial module. Further on the first partial module comprises a first section and a second section; wherein the first section and the second section are spatially divided. The first section comprises a first opening, a second opening and a third opening, wherein the three openings are different from each other. The first opening is adapted for providing an access from an above located area of the aircraft, the second opening is adapted for providing an access from the first section to a second partial module and the third opening is adapted for providing a separate access from the first section to the second section.
