In today’s aerospace manufacturing environment, compliance to standards such as AS9100 is often not optional. A critical part of the AS9100 process involves first article inspection reports.
Despite the name, the inspected article may not necessarily be the “first” produced, but a sample from the first production run provided to the customer.
