Electrical Wiring is an Aircraft System

Air Safety Week, Feb 3, 2003

The inspection effort has led to a new appreciation for the state of wiring in the fleet. The problems are systemic and unrelated to whether aircraft are large or small.

The effort will lead to new regulations concerning wiring installation and maintenance practices, along with changes to wiring-related advisory circulars. Fleetwide inspections of cockpit, electronics and equipment (E&E) bay wiring, and of power feeder cables are forthcoming, with the final schedule still to be determined. The ultimate goal of this panoply of activity is to increase the safety of aircraft wiring.
