    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a new rule for certain Boeing 777 airplanes due to reports of wire damage in the plane's sidewall lights. This proposed rule would require visual inspections to identify and fix any chafing issues, ensuring safety by preventing possible electrical hazards. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback by May 12, 2025, and the FAA highlights that this proposal is based on ensuring safe flight operations as mandated by U.S. law. The FAA believes that this rule won't significantly affect small businesses or state relationships.
