Certain Embraer jets can no longer fly without new overheat sensor checks

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.

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.
