In the area of arc-fault circuit breakers, the FAA has worked with the U.S. To perform destructive testing of flight control linkages.To develop arc-fault circuit interrupter for transport aircraft.To develop non-destructive testing tools for inspection and testing of wiring systems.To establish the condition of aging aircraft wiring components and validate the adequacy of visual inspection.To assess the degradation of airplane wire and determine the point at which wire degradation may hazard safe flight.The ATNSP calls for the FAA to add the following tasks to the Aging Aircraft Research Program: Based on these evaluations, recommendations will be made for changes to the current processes under which systems are designed, maintained, and repaired. In response, the FAA released the Aging Transport Non-structural Systems Plan (ATNSP) to evaluate the effectiveness of current practices for design, maintenance, and repair in preventing or mitigating aircraft accidents precipitated by degradation or damage to aircraft non-structural systems. In 1997, the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security requested that the FAA institute regulatory and research programs to address aging non-structural systems, issues not covered at that time by the FAA's Aging Aircraft Program and Aging Aircraft Research Program.
