I find it a bit odd that an aircraft suffers a hard landing but no inspection has been done for ten days. Any hard landing that exceed 2 m/sec is subject to inspection before further flight. FAA and I would say the Australian equivalent requires a rigorous inspection. This is usually done by airline maintenance supervised by FAA inspectors. Is it Malaysia dragging its feet or politics?
