FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 777-200 and -300 Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive for certain Boeing Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes, requiring the application of an anti-static conductive coating to prevent an uncontrollable fire in the leading edge of the wing. The proposed directive aims to prevent damage to critical wing structures and a potential fuel tank explosion.
