Certain Embraer jets can no longer fly without new overheat sensor checks
What happened
The US aviation regulator is requiring mandatory inspections for a specific model of Embraer jet. This means operators must check and replace certain overheat detection sensors on their planes.
Why it matters
This is a routine safety directive. It ensures that a specific manufacturing defect in the overheat detection system of certain Embraer jets is addressed. Without these inspections, the planes would not be allowed to fly.
The signal
The question is how quickly operators comply with the new inspection and replacement requirements.
