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

The Boeing Company has issued a new airworthiness directive for certain Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes due to reports of fatigue cracks in the lap joints. The directive requires external phased-array ultrasonic inspections to detect cracks and repair if necessary to prevent decompression and limit flight capabilities.
