Aircraft rotables
Rotables are the repairable side of the parts inventory — overhauled, serviceable, repaired, exchange, and new-surplus condition. PartsPerk routes RFQs to FAA / EASA repair-station sources and confirms condition, repair-station tag, and ATA 106 trace with the supplier before the quote moves forward. Buyers verify paperwork before any install — PartsPerk does not certify airworthiness.
Conditions
Restored to a known service condition by a Part 145 / Part 21 repair station with the appropriate tag and trace pack. Buyers review the repair-station release before install.
Used-serviceable with documented chain-of-custody, condition statement, and ATA 106 trace pack. Suitable when overhaul is not required by the operator's quality system.
Repaired to a defined scope of work — narrower than overhaul. Trace, scope-of-work, and any deviations are confirmed with the repair station before quote moves forward.
Pulled from service with last-operator pedigree but not yet inspected, repaired, or overhauled. Quoted as core stock, exchange candidate, or for engineering review.
Exchange / loan-pool program — installed unit returns as core, replacement ships overhauled. Lead time, exchange fee, and core return terms are flagged in the quote.
Original-OEM new or new-surplus material with 8130-3 or equivalent. Surplus stock is shown explicitly and trace is reviewed before purchase.
RFQ checklist
A clear request gets a clear quote. Add these fields when you send a request — most fields are optional but the more you provide, the faster the right aviation parts source can reply.
FAQ
Rotables are repairable components that move through the overhaul cycle — landing-gear actuators, hydraulic pumps, IDGs, APUs, gear assemblies, and similar high-value items. Unlike expendables, rotables are repaired and returned to service rather than scrapped.
Common conditions include overhauled (OH), serviceable (SV), repaired (RP), as-removed (AR), and new/new-surplus (NE). Exchange programs (EX) ship a service-ready unit and accept the buyer's removed unit as core. PartsPerk surfaces condition explicitly so the buyer chooses.
Typical paperwork: FAA 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 from the overhaul source, repair-station tag, scope-of-work, ATA 106 trace pack with last-operator pedigree, and any back-to-birth records when applicable. Document needs are confirmed with the supplier before order.
Yes. Exchange / loan-pool quotes flag exchange fee, lead time, and core-return terms up front. The buyer reviews the exchange terms alongside outright-purchase options to choose the path that fits their quality and budget.
PMA candidates are surfaced explicitly when applicable and approved by the operator. Engineering review and operator approval are required before any PMA rotable is installed. PartsPerk does not auto-substitute alternates.
No. The repair station that performs the overhaul issues the airworthiness paperwork; the buyer reviews the documents and condition before install. PartsPerk routes the request and confirms what the supplier will provide.
Send the part number, your removed-unit condition, and your needed date. PartsPerk routes exchange quotes with fee, lead time, and core-return terms so the buyer compares outright purchase against exchange in one thread.
