Aircraft Parts

question for aircraft mechanics: are serial numbers ever hand written and stickered on parts?

do complex craft like 757's have parts that are identified by handwritten stickers?

Yes. If a component is in for repair, it can be relabeled by hand. For example, if a fuel pressure switch is being replaced because the shell is damaged, the component repair shop may replace the shell. If the shell is where the serial number placard is located, a new placard would be made, often using indelible marker on a specially designed label. A sealer (similar to clear nail polish) would then prevent the writing from being removed. The reason the info may not be etched into the part is because the anodized or plated finish would be disturbed and lead to corrosion.

Maintenance records are so organized that research can be done to find serial numbers of parts that were installed years ago that no longer have placards or data plates.

Some airlines assign components a unique alphanumeric serial number that eliminates the need to research the manufacturers part number and serial number. This number may be handwritten on the manufacturer's data plate. Again, a sealer (similar to clear nail polish) would then prevent the writing from being removed.

Aircraft parts dumped after WW2



Like US Navy Ships, do Aircraft makers like Boeing recycle parts and install them into newer planes?

If you're asking if they put used parts in aircraft coming off the assembly line, then no. If you're asking if used parts are used in EXISTING aircraft, then yes BUT: The parts are supposed to be serviced by qualified technicians, tested and documented for use. There is a black market for parts that are not certified, but for the most part, airlines can't afford to take that risk in countries with extensive inspection systems (Africa and parts of Asia are black market havens). Hope that helps.
