FAA orders more inspections

The nation’s air safety watchdog ordered its inspectors to confirm that airlines are complying with federal rules after revelations that Southwest Airlines flew dozens of aircraft without certain mandatory inspections, CNN reports. Federal Aviation Administration inspectors have been given 10 days to ensure that airlines are complying with 10 airworthiness directives — orders to check or correct a known unsafe condition — and to expand the review to include more directives thereafter.
