FAA Proposes Update to Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 757 Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to update an existing airworthiness directive for certain Boeing 757 airplanes to include additional inspections to prevent electrical arcing that could lead to fires or loss of power. The update follows a report of a wire bundle arcing against a slat track, causing damage to both the track and wires.
