DALLAS -- The Federal Aviation Administration plans to meet with American Airlines to discuss the company's revised inspection procedures for suspected lightning strikes, an agency spokesman said Friday.

FAA spokesman Les Dorr said the meeting should not be considered an investigation, and "there is no hint of any kind of any enforcement action" forthcoming against the Fort Worth-based airline.

The federal agency regulates civil aviation.

An American spokesman wouldn't discuss the nature of the change in the inspection procedure. Planes are typically struck about once a year, but damage is usually minimal because they're built to take the strikes, Dorr and the airline said.

The meeting, which could come as early as next week and will probably be in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, follows complaints from a mechanic at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport who "raised questions about the adequacy" of the revised procedures, Dorr said.

Two pilots have also used the FAA's Aviation Safety Action Program, an anonymous reporting system, Dorr said.

"Since it has been brought to our attention, we do plan to meet with American Airlines safety people to discuss the revised procedures," Dorr said.

American spokesman Tim Wagner said an employee in the airline's line maintenance organization will meet with the agency.

He also said it is not unusual for the airline to revise inspection procedures.
