Unsafe Condition

The current EICAS computers do not provide an appropriate indication to the flight crew of an impending engine fuel filter bypass condition, which could result in the flight crew being unaware of a severely contaminated airplane fuel system and the associated increased potential for engine power loss.

Required Actions

Revise the Airplane Flight Manual to advise flight crews to monitor EICAS for 'status' level messages about impending engine fuel filter bypass, and install upgraded EICAS computers that provide 'advisory' level messages for such bypass conditions.
