Many thanks for Allah how saved the precious lives and the Airbus. I suggest a few actions to be taken to avoid such a justmiss situation. 1. All other Airbuses should be inspected for the same fault. 2. PIA maintenance division should revise the relevant work instructions and check lists. 3. The maintenance audit should be introduced by third party after major maintenance activities.
