(FILES) A British Airways Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is parked at Heathrow Airport in London in this July 4, 2013 photo. US aviation regulators told airlines on July 25, 2013 they should remove or inspect emergency locator beacons on Boeing 787s after a recent fire on one of the jetliners. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a new airworthiness directive, or AD, that stepped up its precautions over the beacons on the cutting-edge Boeing plane. "This AD requires either removal or inspection of the Honeywell fixed emergency locator transmitter (ELT), and corrective action if necessary," the FAA told airlines. Regulators grounded all 787 Dreamliners in service in mid-January after two safety incidents involving the plane's lightweight lithium-ion batteries. Overheating on the batteries caused a fire on an empty, parked 787 and forced an emergency landing on another. AFP PHOTO/JUSTIN TALLIS
