| Executive Summary: | During initial climb and turn to ZUE, the cabin crew reported a fire in the hatrack. The crew decided to return immediately to Zurich where they made a successful landing. Nobody was hurt during the disembarkation of the plane. The incident was caused by an increased electrical resistance on a contact of the connector between the a/c wiring and the special interconnect cable (P/N C773-10-450) to the ballast. Due to the increase in resistance, there was a temperature increase leading to an "electrical smoke". |
