> Why would anyone do that unless the part was inferior? Could be refurbished or used parts being sold with or without inspection to save cost on (re)certification. We just don’t know at this point.

> Could be refurbished or used parts That is inferior to new, considering physical goods have a limited mechanical lifespan. Either way, it misses the point that the product is a lie sold on false pretenses. Lying about what you sell is not a good sign. There is no world, no product conditions, no anything, where a lie about what’s being sold should be tolerated. Fraud a crime for a reason. > We just don’t know at this point. At this point I already know I’d pick the plane with genuine certified parts if I had the choice.

I’m sure used parts are serviceable in some cases. > Either way, it misses the point that the product is a lie sold on false pretenses.

It seems like you interpreted my comment as some kind of defense of these parts or the people selling them. That was not my intent.

That isn’t any better. Mechanical parts have finite lifetimes for a reason. If a part is known to develop stress fractures after 5000 hours, it may have be required to replace that part after 3000 hours, even if there are no visible signs of wear at that point. If that part is then re-sold as new with a forged history, that’s a problem.

  You’re right, it’s not better. That’s why I didn’t say it was. I’m just offering another possible motivation.
