The FAA plans to broaden inspections of Boeing 777 fuel feed tubes to address potential lightning protection failures across a larger fleet segment.
This initiative targets latent issues in the fuel system that could compromise aircraft safety during lightning strikes. Inspections will focus on identifying and rectifying defects in the fuel feed tubes to ensure compliance with safety standards.
The expanded checks aim to enhance the reliability of Boeing 777 operations, particularly for long-haul flights.
Airlines operating Boeing 777s will need to adjust maintenance schedules to accommodate these additional inspections.
