A Great Reason to Apply for AS9120 Certification: Plane Paranoia (Demo)

An article reposted in Salon.com discusses that while airline travel today is one of the safest means available, many people are nevertheless still paranoid about the possible dangers that come with flying on a commercial airliner. Indeed, there are quite a lot of things that could go wrong, from trouble with air control communications to pilot error. Of course, there’s also the matter of possible faulty or substandard airline parts. Thankfully, this paranoia can be eased as long as the airline company only sources its aircraft parts from trusted manufacturers or suppliers. In most cases, ‘trusted’ means having an authentic AS9120 certification; this certification is based on an international standard for quality management system for suppliers and distributors of aircraft parts and components. The standards set by this system help ensure that only airline parts of the highest quality are made and distributed worldwide. Being the massive hunks of flying metal equipped with above-par safety and comfort technology that they are today, most commercial planes have no less than four million individual parts. These components all have their distinct quality control needs that need to be met from manufacture, to hauling, all the way to assembly. The 9120 certification from assessors like International Standards Authority Inc. assures that these products are made with consistently high quality and delivered with accurate traceability. In aviation, there is a saying that no plane is ever too old as long as the best quality of maintenance and care are provided. The problem is that with age, the amount of maintenance and care gets higher. If parts manufacturers are able to consistently provide high quality products with an excellent level of airworthiness from the start, then planes can safely remain in service for a very long time. For many aircraft parts to be considered airworthy, they need to be able to withstand a highly pressurized cabin, not to mention the long-term cycle of decompression before it has to be replaced. This is one reason why the AS9120 dictates not only the airworthiness of the materials, but also reliability, so as to avoid all kinds of disasters. To ensure that your clients know you are supplying them with quality aircraft materials (which will, in turn, assure their flight passengers of the same), get your business an authentic AS9120 certification today. When on board an aircraft that conforms with parts safety standards, flying can become more comfortable, with one less thing to worry about.
