of electrical wiring bundles and/or cables in the vicinity of the
optional third crewmember ceiling oxygen mask box for chafing
and/or damage and, if necessary, accomplish corrective
actions.
2. Modify the routing and protect the electrical wiring bundles
and/or cables in the vicinity of the optional third crewmember

Compliance:
For Requirement 1 - Within 30 flights, after the effective date
of this Directive, but no later than 6 March 2006.
For Requirement 2 - Before further flight immediately following the
Requirement 1 inspection.
This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 6 February
2006.
Background: The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) has advised that a drawing review and associated inspections
on aircraft have highlighted a potential chafing risk between the
third crew member oxygen mask box, optionally installed in the
cockpit ceiling, and feeder cables routed in the area.
This situation, if not corrected, could generate smoke or fire,
which could be fanned by oxygen leakage from the box. This
Directive requires the inspection together with any necessary
repairs, modification of the routing and protection of the
electrical bundles and/or cables in the vicinity of the third crew
member oxygen mask box.
