Unsafe condition
This AD results from an incident in which all of the display units (DUs) for the EIS went blank simultaneously during flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent automatic reset of the DUs for the EIS during flight and consequent loss of data from the DUs, which could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to control the airplane during adverse flight conditions.
