Prepare a revision-focused inspection review.

Use geometry and characteristic changes to support a delta FAI assessment.

Reviewed 1 October 2026

Identify the baseline record

Start with the approved design revision and its existing inspection record. Record the reason for the new review, including any changes outside the CAD file.

Review affected characteristics

PartDatum FAI uses the available model evidence to help build a re-inspection list. Examine geometry-linked findings, changed values and unresolved associations before reusing an earlier result.

Prepare the documentation

Export supported characteristic data to AS9102 Form 3 formats and QIF. Complete the measured results, inspection method and required approvals through your quality process.

A shortlist is not an approval

Delta FAI is used here as a practical term for a change-focused review. The applicable partial-FAI requirements, standard edition and customer instructions determine the actual inspection scope.
