AEExpired materials aren’t just a stockroom mistake—they’re a system failure.
The FAA’s recent Pemco case (with nearly $3M in proposed penalties) makes one thing clear: if expired products make it onto an aircraft, multiple layers of your process have already broken down.
This isn’t about one missed check—it’s about failed controls at every step.
✔️ Receiving
✔️ Inventory
✔️ Pre-use
✔️ Inspection & closeout
If you rely on a single checkpoint, you’re exposed.
Redundancy isn’t overkill—it’s protection.
If expired material can go from your shelf to an aircraft, your system isn’t working—and the FAA will treat it that way.
