As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) DELTA 219, ENROUTE FROM SFO TO HNL, EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ARCING IN WIRING OVER FIRST OFFICER'S SIDE WINDOW. ARCING WAS FOLLOWED BY SMOKE, THEN FLAME AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS OPENING. CREW EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE BY REMOVING ELECTRICAL POWER AND DISCHARGING A HALON FIRE EXTEINGUISHER. FIRE IN WIRE INSULATION BEGAN SMOLDERING TWICE MORE IN THE FOLLOWING 45 MINUTES AND WAS EXTINGUISHED EACH TIME WITH HALON. UPON ARRIVAL AT HNL, THE WIRE BUNDLE AND CLAMP WERE REMOVED AND SHIPPED TO THE NTSB FOR ANALYSIS. TO DATE THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED. DELTA AIRLINES WAS GOING TO MOUNT A FLEETWIDE CAMPAIGN TO EXAMINE WIRING BUNDLES IN OTHER L-1011S. TO DATE THE RESULTS OF THAT CAMPAIGN HAVE NOT BEEN FORWARDED TO THIS OFFICE.
