    Hmm…don’t they check the bolts occasionally? Seems like they would, but I guess not.

        Really? I haven’t been following this closely. I don’t know what the protocol is for new planes either. No inspections then?

          They come freshly certified. The operator is then responsible for regular checks at a variety of intensities as the aircraft ages.

          The incident aircraft was delivered three months ago.

        When you get new tires or have them rotated you’re supposed to take them back for tightening after 50-100 miles. Perhaps they ought to update the documentation to take them to the mechanic for a few ugga duggas after a couple flights.
