The purchasing decision
Record the aircraft, location, operating period and observed issue without guessing the cause. Segregate the part and attach photographs. Decide whether supplier review, engineering inspection or disposal is appropriate before marking it serviceable.
Keep these records
- Return identity and observations.
- Quarantine location.
- Disposition and supplier follow-up.
Give each record an owner and a revision or date. If a supplier proposes a different part or test condition, record it as an exception for review before treating the quotation as equivalent.
Turn the review into a sourcing request
Start with the linked component checklist, add the actual platform and part identity, and state quantity, destination and timing. List unresolved requirements explicitly so the first discussion can focus on those gaps.
