IATA Aircraft Leasing and Technical Group

In the past few years, the focus on life-limited part (LLP) documentation has increased significantly, due to the fact that more LLPs are exchanged/replaced with used material. Airlines are now facing more and more requirements from the Industry (MROs, Airlines, Lessors/Owners and Part Traders), therefore this is now a topic of discussion between the parties. Aircraft documentation is inspected meticulously during the delivery and redelivery process of an aircraft. A critical aspect of aircraft records is the documentation associated with LLPs and their trace to birth (manufacture). Airlines are ultimately responsible for the safety of flight and they need to ensure that documentation meets airworthiness standards. Additionally, such documentation is considered very important by the Industry, including lessors and aircraft owners, because it can have a significant impact on the asset value and marketability of the aircraft or, as applicable, on the standalone engines or the LLP itself.
