200 Airbus Jets Must be Inspected Following JetBlue Emergency Landing
U.S. aviation regulators ordered inspections of 200 Airbus aircraft to prevent their front wheels from locking sideways, two months after a JetBlue Airways plane was forced to make an emergency landing.
U.S. airlines must determine whether certain braking and steering units were installed in the planes' nose landing gear, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Gear with those units must undergo additional inspections and may need to be replaced, the agency said.
