A decompression panel for use in a door of an aircraft disclosed herein includes bi-directional latching mechanisms. A differential pressure sensor disengages upon a decompression event in a compartment of an aircraft, allowing latch hooks to disengage from a panel latch of the decompression panel. Once disengaged, the decompression panel can rotate to vent air in a compartment of higher pressure to the compartment experiencing the decompression event.
