| | | reconditioned parts | Explanation:
Very low. But I think it is this. Aircraft have a very long life and I think that expense parts in things like turbines are reconditioned on a regular basis. The term is also used in the auto industry which also makes industrial scale use of reconditioned (revisionato) parts.

Yes that is what I found, when I was rudely interrupted by an urgent CS. I couldn't find anything 100% conclusive on it. I think in some instances it is used just for spare parts with a regular replacement turnover, but they seem to be a minority.

Many, many years ago when I used to repair my ten-year old Austin Mini, I would take the old worn part to the dealer to get a discount on a reconditioned (recycled) part, Q "Is it OK?" A "Yeah, good as new"

When you fly, the planes are often older than a good proportion of the passengers. The new ones are the most dangerous, because they may not have found all the faults yet. |
