Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-15- 06, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, - 300, -300ER, and 777F series airplanes. AD 2022-15-06 required disconnecting certain connectors and capping and stowing the wires that had been attached to the affected transorb modules. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-15-06, the agency has determined additional connectors are affected. Also, a replacement has been developed to address the unsafe condition, which would terminate the existing actions. This AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2022-15-06 and requires those actions for additional connectors. This AD also requires determining if affected transorb modules are installed, replacing or testing affected transorb modules, and applicable on-condition actions. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Applicability
Aircraft makes and models this AD applies to, sorted by US-registered fleet size.
