AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes (757)

AD NUMBER: 2012-25-03

PRODUCT: Certain Boeing Model 757 airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2012-25-03
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY:  This AD was prompted by a report of in-flight fracture of the right windshield (window 1) on the flight deck and multiple reports of electrical arcs at the terminal blocks of the flight deck windshields resulting in smoke and fire.

This AD requires repetitive inspections of electrical heat terminals on the left and right windshields for damage, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD allows replacing an affected windshield with a windshield equipped with different electrical connections, which would terminate the repetitive inspections for that windshield.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent smoke and fire in the flight deck, which can lead to loss of visibility, and injuries to or incapacitation of the flightcrew.

DATES: This AD is effective January 16, 2013.
