摘要

This report explains the June 28, 2008, accident involving a Boeing 767-200, N799AX, operated by ABX Air as a cargo flight. The airplane experienced a ground fire before engine startup. The captain and the first officer evacuated the airplane through the cockpit windows and were not injured, and the airplane was substantially damaged. The safety issues discussed in this report involve the conductivity and the aging of oxygen hoses, the FAA's airworthiness directive process, the proximity of oxygen system components to electrical wiring, the electrical grounding of oxygen systems, the potential for passenger reading lights on transport-category airplanes to become an ignition source, additional smoke detector systems for cargo airplanes, and the effectiveness of ABX Air's continuing analysis and surveillance program. Safety recommendations regarding these issues are addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration and to ABX Air.
