On Aug. 5, ARSA Enterprise Member StandardAero will lead a webinar on “Best Practices for Strengthening Training Programs to Identify Suspected Unapproved Parts.” The session is presented through StandardAero’s participation in the Aviation Supply Chain Integrity Coalition, formed to address concerns about aviation parts in the wake of the AOG Technics parts documentation scandal in 2023.
The coalition’s 2024 report recommended 13 actions for industry to improve supply chain integrity. The Aug. 5 webinar is part of the group’s recommendation for improved training materials and programs promoting best practices for preventing SUP introduction.
Description: Aerospace stakeholders must ensure knowledge and competence for both internal personnel and external suppliers related to parts purchasing, receiving, and inspection processes. Brent Ostermann, StandardAero vice president of product assurance and quality, will discuss best practices and provide examples of training programs the company has created to enhance suspected unapproved parts identification.
Date & Time: Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025 from 12:30 – 1:00 p.m. EDT.
