Aviation glossary · Parts, stock and tradingRotable
A serialised component that can be repaired or overhauled back to a serviceable standard and returned to stock, carrying its own accumulating life record through every installation and removal.
Why it matters
A rotable's value is its history. The same part number with a complete trace and with a broken one are different assets at different prices.
In AerSynx
Stock is held against a single part master with traceability attached, and the component record follows the physical part rather than the shelf it sits on. Inventory →
