So rather embarrassing for Airbus then that that is exactly what's been going on. At least three operators have suffered the experience. EASA is worried about the poor souls on the ground below and so if you've got A310s - especially -300s - you're going to have to do something about it. Repetitive inspections and/or replacement of them it turns out. Full details here.
