Specific Embraer planes must replace faulty landing gear springs

US aviation regulators are ordering inspections and replacements for specific landing gear parts on certain Embraer planes. Operators of these aircraft must check for corrosion and damage on down lock springs and replace them to keep flying.

Aviation regulators regularly update safety rules based on real-world failures. This order forces operators to fix a known problem with landing gear springs. It prevents potential collapses during landing or takeoff.
