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. |\n\n![](image.001.png)  \nJames Coyne  \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n20 June 2006","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/B767/224","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/B767/224","content":"## AD/B767/224","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"Driessen Galleys","sectionType":"part","heading":"Driessen Galleys","content":"## Driessen Galleys","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"8/2006","sectionType":"part","heading":"8/2006","content":"## 8/2006","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The Directive confines action to specified galleys/closets on Model 767-300s identified by part number and requires replacement of non-compliant spiral wrapping; this aligns with the stated FAA safety objective (Background).
