the effective date of this Directive.

             For Requirement 2 - Concurrent with Requirement 1.
             For Requirement 3 - Before further flight after the Requirement 2 inspection.
             For Requirement 4 - As of the effective date of this Directive.
             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 17 February 2005.
Background:  The United States Federal Aviation Administration has found an incorrectly installed FQIS wire bundle during an audit.  This Directive requires the replacement of the bracket for the wire bundle of the FQIS, performance of a general visual inspection of the FQIS wire bundle for damage and, if necessary, any corrective action.

             The Directive is issued to prevent chafing of the FQIS wire(s) in the centre fuel tank, which, when combined with a lightning strike or a power wire short to the FQIS wire(s), could result in arcing in the centre fuel tank and consequent fuel tank explosion.
