2 - Within 72 months after the effective date of this Directive.

             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 3 August 2006.
Background:  The FAA has received results from testing and reports from the manufacturer indicating unacceptable flammability properties of wire wrapping installed in certain galleys and closets.  This Directive requires inspecting to determine if certain galleys and closets are installed and, if necessary, replacing the spiral wire wrapping of the electrical cables of the galleys and closets with new spiral wire wrapping.  The Directive is issued to prevent fire propagation or smoke in the cabin area due to electrical arcing or sparking and ignition of the spiral wire wrapping.
