Fire Protection - Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision
The Fire Protection - Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive (AD 2021-02-06) that applies to all Boeing Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD addresses issues related to engine fire handle components and requires revisions to maintenance or inspection programs, as well as replacement or modification of certain engine fire control panels. The directive aims to mitigate the risk of engine fire handle failure that could prevent extinguishing an engine fire and potentially lead to wing failure.
