I think it was Germanwings who almost burned their fingers some weeks ago, when a flight had to return to DUS after a couple of hours flying, because they suddenly discovered that the replacement bird they were using wasn't certified for US and had they continued they would have been facing a heavy fine.
I remember reading about that. Must have been Eurowings on their DUS-EWR flight I guess.
Couldn't find an article rn but that shows how important it is to file everything with the FAA.

Where is that info coming from?
Sounds very reasonable.
Let's hope LN-RKP will be retired soon after.
