TRACEABILITY OF AIRCRAFT PARTS

The installer of an aircraft part must determine its eligibility and traceability to approved source before installing the part on the aircraft. For aircraft parts to be eligible and traceable, they must be from a source approved or acceptable to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Aircraft parts must be produced in accordance with a production system and data approved or found acceptable by the regulatory authority of the State of Design. Owner and operator of aircraft are also required to keep current status of aircraft life-limited parts and these records must be transferred to the new owner or operator after the sale. This paper reviews traceability of aircraft parts with special emphasis on approved and acceptable parts, the traceability documentation required, and back-to-birth traceability. EASA Part M.A.501(a) states that “No component may be fitted unless it is in a satisfactory condition, has been appropriately released to service on an EASA Form 1 or equivalen...

The availability of maintenance data to persons or organization performing maintenance, the need for the currency of maintenance data, the permissibility of making changes to maintenance data, and the use of work cards and/or worksheets were examin...
