Aviation glossary · Records and evidenceTraceability
The ability to show where a part came from, what was done to it and by whom, in an unbroken chain from manufacture to its current installation.
Why it matters
Traceability is not a document, it is a chain — and a chain is worth the weakest link. One undocumented transfer devalues everything after it.
In AerSynx
A component is one record that moves with the physical part, so removal and reinstallation extend the chain instead of starting a new one. Asset Registry →
