    Finished parts are much harder to verify without damaging them or the finish. We do get training on identifying counterfeits, though.

    Planes are still highly over-engineered.

      I assume with the strict documentation on parts being put on planes they will have to replace or review any part that came from this distributor?

        Not sure. Prolly depends on their investigation. If it’s one guy covering his ass that’s different than a manager pushing it as a normal thing. Anything fabricated had to be bought-off/stamped by someone, so they should be able to sort it out.

        Absolutely, and other distributors will likely have to confirm their chain of provenance, and new procedures will be added for additional part tracking.

        They 100% do not screw around with this stuff, ever.
