Boeing 777 LED Wire Inspection
If you fly on Boeing 777-200LR or 777-300ER airplanes, the FAA proposes a required general visual inspection of the sidewall LED wire bundles for chafing and arcing damage. The rule would also require on‑condition actions (repairs or fixes) where damage is found to address the unsafe condition and keep flights safe.
