Vital Parts.

RSC are pleased to announce their approval for the process of surface coating on ‘Vital Parts’ for Leonardo Helicopters.

This is another important inclusion in our armoury of capabilities that we are building to support our customer base.

Vital Parts are sometimes classed as ‘Flight Safety Critical’ , these are products that would cause a major incident if they were to fail in flight. Our companies approval for this activity demonstrates the highest level of quality and control which we currently demonstrate at RSC.

Set out in the approval are Vital, Critical, Category F and Flight Safety parts all of which we will hope to see processed at site over the coming months.

These High Integrity Components or assemblies are controlled by stringent process and all parts are covered by a frozen operation. These cannot be altered or re-sequenced on the routing and therefore are usually dictated to one supplier.

All parts are clearly identifiable on process through RSC, through coloured route cards to ensure it is clearly distinguishable from standard orders.

All new orders are subject to first off inspection by qualified inspection personnel with ‘in process’ inspection carried out by self certification. Final inspection is carried out at 100% dimensionally and visually with all coating requirement inspection included and recorded. The route card is also finally inspected to ensure conformity.

RSC are confident that now we have Leonardo on board we can now use this to venture into new supply chains.

Derek Smith, Operations Director, RSC
