## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 777 series airplanes, that requires modification of the supports for the wire bundles of the fuel quantity indicator system (FQIS), and follow-on actions, if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent chafing of the FQIS wiring on surrounding structures and systems. Such chafing could result in exposure of the bare conductor in close proximity to structures or other electrically conductive return paths, and potential electrical arcing and explosion in the fuel tank in the event of an additional wiring failure outside the fuel tank. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
