Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of in-flight smoke and fire that initiated from the windshield heat power wire braid. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent arcing of the windshield heat power wire braid, which could ignite the wire sheathing and sealant and the windshield acrylic. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to cockpit smoke and fire.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2022-18-03, Amendment 39-22154 (87 FR 54134, September 2, 2022) (AD 2022-18-03).
