Airbus must check for a specific manufacturing error on new A321neo planes

The US aviation regulator is requiring inspections on certain new Airbus A321neo airplanes. This is because a quality review found a manufacturing error on a small part of the emergency slides.

This is a very specific, very boring fix for a very specific, very boring problem. It means that a particular batch of new Airbus planes will need a quick check before they fly. This kind of directive is common and ensures that even minor manufacturing defects are caught before they become bigger issues.
