Public-source signals
| Topic | What to prepare |
|---|---|
| AS9102 hardware FAI | Confirm the PO flowdown and use the required AS9102 revision and customer instructions. |
| BFAI surveillance | Keep the source drawing, Form 3 results, and evidence package ready for characteristic-level verification. |
| FAI planning | Identify responsible functions, inspection plan, gage/tooling decisions, evidence, and approval path before the first production run. |
| Variable results | Avoid using pass/fail text where the design requirement calls for variable-unit results. |
Package check before submission
- Confirm every design characteristic is uniquely identified and traceable to a Form 3 result.
- Make sure the result units match the drawing or approved customer direction.
- Attach objective evidence for material, process, functional test, and inspection records.
- Document any partial FAI reason and affected characteristics clearly.

FAQ
Does Boeing require AS9102 for every supplier shipment?
No single web page can answer that. Boeing's public page ties applicable hardware FAI to the purchase document flowdown, so the PO and program instructions control.
What is BFAI?
Boeing describes Boeing First Article Inspection as a supplier-surveillance process for verifying a supplier's FAI when flowed and deemed necessary.
