Several years while we were making some improvements to our PMA System we realized that anyone who deals with PMA Parts will necessarily be interested in Suspected Unapproved parts -- counterfeit parts, typically made overseas and moved into the distribution system illegally. That lead to a question of the FAA; Where is the centralized list of SUPs ??? The answer didn't really surprise us. They said; "There isn't one!!" -- Really ?!?! Well -- There is now ! and has been since early 2010. And, it now contains over 61,000 records. It seems that the FAA never thought that a centralized DB was necessary. They publish the list of SUPs in Notices as they are discovered and then to find a part number, you have to read several hundred Notices. With our System you can enter one P/N or paste in a list of P/Ns and check them aginst the DB of over 61,000 SUPs in seconds. The next part is sometimes hard to understand; you don't want to be successful. You want ZERO hits. "Looking" is called Due Diligence. Its like Life Insurance -- you don't want to die, but if you do, there is a plan. In this case, if you get a hit, it is not necessarily a counterfeit part. You just need to check its source and paper trail - Due Diligence again. Use those words to your attorneys and see what they say. Even if a counterfeit part slips into your inventory, if you have used every available resource to detect them, the FAA will observe that you have "made an effort" - and is better that nothing !! We have the only centralized DataBase of over 61,000 SUPs and its easy to use. Aviation DataSource, Inc. Phone: (800) 952-8844; E-Mail: AirBase@AirResearch.com
