Boeing stated in a message to all Boeing 747-400 freighter operators released on Oct 13th, that they plan to modify the fire indication checklists following discovery on the flight data recorders of this crash, that none of the air conditioning systems was working following the fire indication. Boeing plans to add text indicating that after two of the three air conditioning systems are shut down per system design following a fire indication, either air conditioning system 1 or 3 must continue to work in order to prevent excessive smoke accumulation on the flight deck. This modification is planned to be released with the November flight crew operating manual bulletins, further modifications of the manuals are under consideration.
