clearance exists between the fan venturi motor casing and the adjacent equipment together with any necessary adjustments.  The Directive also required a visual inspection to detect signs of overheating, degradation of insulating materials, and ingestion of debris into the motor together with the replacement of discrepant parts with serviceable parts.
             This new Directive instead requires that operators replace the fan venturi with a new or modified part.  This results from advice from the United States Federal Aviation Administration that the fan venturi overheated and produced smoke while the aeroplane was on the ground.  This Directive is issued to prevent heat and fire damage to equipment adjacent to the fan venturi, which could result in smoke in the cabin and/or burning equipment.
