Airbus A350s must get their nose landing gear checked more often

The US aviation regulator is requiring new inspections for all Airbus A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This means mechanics will now perform repetitive steering checks on the nose landing gear shock absorber.

This is a small, routine safety update. It addresses a specific mechanical noise issue reported on a particular aircraft model. The change ensures that a potential problem is caught and fixed before it becomes a larger safety concern.
