Don’t Let One Wrong Part Ground Your Aircraft

Before you spend thousands of dollars or even hours looking for that one critical aircraft part, stop and read this.

One small mistake could delay your flight, ground your jet, or worse… compromise your safety.

Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Verify the Part Number and Aircraft Compatibility

Start by double-checking the part number. It sounds basic, but even experienced buyers overlook it.

  • Consult your aircraft’s maintenance manual.

  • Confirm the exact make and model of your aircraft.

  • Cross-check the part number with your supplier.

At Login Aviation, we’ve seen firsthand how a simple mismatch can turn into a costly return, or worse, a grounded aircraft.

Step 2: Choose a Certified and Reputable Supplier

Not all suppliers are created equal. Look for:

  • FAA 8130 or EASA Form 1 certification

  • Traceability and quality control

  • Industry reputation and experience

At Login Aviation, all our parts meet industry compliance standards. Our clients trust us because we don’t just sell parts—we sell reliability.

Step 3: Ask for Traceability and Documentation

Every aircraft part should come with proper documentation, including:

  • Overhaul records

  • Release certificates

  • Service bulletins

  • Maintenance history (if applicable)

Why? Because this documentation is key to regulatory compliance and can significantly affect the resale value of your part or your aircraft.

Step 4: Evaluate the Condition: New, Overhauled, or As Removed

Aircraft parts come in different conditions:

  • New (NEW) – Brand new, unused parts

  • Overhauled (OH) – Restored to like-new condition with proper certification

  • Serviceable (SV) – Used parts that are still airworthy

  • As Removed (AR) – Removed from aircraft, condition unknown until tested

Make sure you understand what you're buying and that it fits your budget and risk tolerance. Overhauled parts, for example, can be cost-effective—but only if they come with full traceability.

Step 5: Know the Lead Time and Shipping Options

Time is money, specially if your aircraft is AOG (Aircraft on Ground).

  • Ask if the part is in stock

  • Confirm estimated delivery time

  • Ask about expedited shipping or same-day handling
