Blog - Veritable Aviation

As millions of parts are circulated throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) and allied military operations, the government requires an infallible method for identifying the specific entities responsible for manufacturing and distributing these assets. Without a way to verify the standing, legitimacy, and physical location of a business, procuring counterfeit or substandard parts would be a much more prevalent risk. This is why Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Codes were established, which this blog will explore further to help you understand their assignment and important role in defense procurement activities.

Whether one is involved in aviation through commercial operations, asset manufacturing, service repairs, or other common applications, many will recognize the fundamental necessity for ensuring that any part that enters service must be airworthy and compatible with its intended assembly. Organizations thus must exert all effort to uphold rigorous procurement practices, requiring individual buyers to be well-versed in the nuances of vetting potential sources for aviation component distribution. If you are currently seeking to formulate your own strategies for executing the acquisition of necessary assets, read on as we offer a guide on the many benefits of quality assurance in aviation operations.

Among the myriad of aircraft parts that are regularly cared for during service, brake discs, bolts, and actuators are high-attention parts as a result of enduring high mechanical and environmental stress during typical operations. Although they may be less prevalent in discussion than engines or avionics, understanding when and how to replace these components is crucial to upholding airworthiness and safety standards. As such, be sure to read on as we provide a focused overview of these components, covering their basic roles, common signs of degradation, and best advice for standard replacement protocols.

Just before the dawn of World War II, the Royal Air Force designated six flight instruments that would be installed in every single RAF aircraft. These guidelines were adopted by commercial and civil aviation manufacturers alike and came to be known as the “six pack.” The six pack consists of six instruments providing the pilot with constantly updating information of speed, altitude, ascension/descension, attitude, heading, as well as turning/banking. The individual instruments are the airspeed indicator (ASI), altimeter, vertical speed indicator (VSI), attitude indicator, heading indicator, and turn coordinator. Read more >>

Molex recently released a new D-Sub Earthing Connector with one interesting quality that’s sure to stand out –its waterproof! That’s right, now you can be sure your IP66 and IP67 are protected from stray voltages and water invasion through a more secure connection to the earth.  Additionally, there is a cap attached to the connector that allows the connector to be IP protected; International Protection (IP) refers to the level of protection against penetration from foreign matters such as dust and water.
