Operators of a specific Bombardier jet must check for loose parts

The US aviation regulator is requiring inspections on certain Bombardier business jets. Operators must check specific fasteners on wing slats to prevent potential safety issues.

Aircraft safety is built on a constant cycle of finding small problems and mandating specific fixes. This rule is a routine example of that process. It ensures that a known manufacturing or maintenance issue on a specific jet model gets checked and repaired across the entire fleet.
