 Several aviation accident investigations have
reached conclusions implicating wiring.
Non-intrusive and intrusive inspections have
concluded that damage is occurring to aircraft
wiring systems through neglect, new wiring
installations, improper wiring repairs,
or ignorance of proper maintenance practices.
The conclusion of research launched by the
industry and regulatory bodies is that proper
The Airbus training on wiring systems maintenance
practices and requirements will result
Electrical Wiring in a reduction of such damage.
