The problems continue.. Tonight a Dash-8 from Augsburg Airways did a landing with problems with the nose wheel...
And SAS has found out that all 27 planes of that type in their fleet has the same problem. Corrosion on a bult. Can only be seen via xray, and its not written in the service manual from the manufacturer...
