In essence, DITS's local inspector has allegedly failed to maintain his own accreditation and has been signing off component checks for the past 2 years "without authority".
Affected aircraft were grounded on Monday and are being progressively returned to service as they are checked by "authorised" persons.
Aircraft affected include Dash 8, Beech 1900, Embraer 120 and Cessna 400 series.
