## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 757-200 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time detailed visual inspection to detect damage or chafing of certain electrical wire bundles, and to verify adequate clearance exists between the wire bundles and adjacent disconnect bracket; and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that damaged wires caused an electrical short in the electrical panel, which resulted in a shower of sparks from the overhead panel. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent failure of essential electrical systems and a potential fire hazard for passengers and crewmembers, due to damage or chafing of electrical wire bundles.
