Flight/Planes


I've been on the engineering side of such actions. What's done is the issuance of a Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO), a document that will give detailed instructions on what aircraft are affected, how the inspection is be undertaken, and by when. In a situation such as this, I would assume the inspection must be carried out before the aircraft's next flight. If the aircraft passes the inspection, it's cleared for service. If it fails, then it's grounded until it's repaired. These inspections can be time consuming and generate a tremendous amount of documentation.
