The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has clarified that it is going to inspect the emergency locator beacons on U.S. jetliners, while denying to any speculations made on their removal from the Boeing 787 series.
Earlier, the emergency devices were blamed for a fire in a parked Boeing 787 at the London airport on July 12.

FAA further added that it is preparing an airworthiness directive requiring the inspections of the Boeing Dreamliners.
