WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Tuesday issued an airworthiness directive for all Boeing 777 airplanes over security issues.
The directive was prompted by excessive electrical resistance throughout the gust suppression sensor due to corrosion. The FAA stated the gust suppression perform is a non-essential characteristic that gives a minor enchancment to trip high quality throughout lateral wind gusts at low airspeeds.
Airways should disable the gust suppression perform inside three months or earlier than 75,000 whole flight hours. The directive requires disconnecting connectors and capping and stowing wires hooked up to affected modules.
