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
