After initial scrutiny of incoming aircraft parts by I/C Stores as per 2.2.1 & Form (PJ/Engg/09), QI verifies the
same. CE endorses it and if found satisfactory, it is tagged as ‘serviceable’ as per the procedures outlined in Para
2.3 and placed in Stores. I/C Stores enters the record into the excel sheet (PJ/Record/Store-House/20) as
well as on stock record card (SRC- PJ/Engg/08).
The excel sheet includes details of incoming stores inspection, modification standard/AD compliance details,
details of shelf life items etc. The form (PJ/Engg/08) shows the bin location of item, quantity demanded,
quantity received, quantity issued and balance quantity.
I/C Stores checks the expiry of each item as mentioned in the certificate. The item which is found to be expired,
is separated and removed from Inspection Room and data entered on SRC. The item is tagged as
‘unserviceable’ on the form (PJ/Engg/03) and placed in Quarantine. When the item is on-condition, CE will
decide whether to keep that item in stores or not.
If the part is found unsatisfactory due to any of these reasons such as incorrect part no received, any obvious
physical damage present, inadequate part packaging, missing airworthiness approval documents etc. it is
tagged as ‘unserviceable’ on the form (PJ/Engg/03) and placed in ‘Quarantine’ by I/C Stores as per the
procedures outlined in Para 2.3

2.3.1.2 Rotables
'Rotables' are those components of the aircraft which need to be 'rotated' at frequent intervals. For example,
the tyres of the plane will have to be changed when they finish a certain number of landings (let us say 250
landings). There could also be a necessity to change a tyre when unusual damage is seen on it before it
completes the life. Similar is the case with components like oil filter, and other such components.
