AD 2021-06-03 Prompted By A Report Of A Water Supply Line That Detached At A Certain Joint

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 777F series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a water supply line that detached at a certain joint located above an electronic equipment (EE) cooling filter, leading to water intrusion into the forward EE bay. This AD requires deactivating the potable water system. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective March 5, 2021.

Highlighted The Critical Role Played By The Payroll Support Program (PSP)

Testifying before the Aviation Subcommittee of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Capt. Joe DePete, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), reiterated the importance of pilots and other frontline aviation workers to the nation’s economic recovery, and highlighted the critical role played by the Payroll Support Program (PSP) to save jobs and position the aviation to weather the current storm. “Since the pandemic began, airline pilots have been on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19. We’ve kept supply chains flowing and the global economy connected. We’ve transported medical personnel, PPE, and life-saving vaccines. And we’ve worked to ensure that aviation can fulfill its critical role in the nation’s economic recovery once the public health crisis is behind us.”
