Aerospace & Defense request guide

Aerospace requests, defined before review.

Share non-restricted part context, drawings, materials, critical features, documentation needs, and program requirements. Pearson reviews eligibility and request scope before any manufacturing path is considered.

  • Program review required
  • Documentation defined
  • Timing reviewed per request

Capability review

This page describes common request types. Available processes, equipment, tolerances, inspection, documentation, and fulfillment are confirmed for each quote.

Overview

Start with the program and the part.

Aerospace requests are easier to review when part function, revision authority, critical geometry, material identity, special processes, and the expected evidence package arrive together.

Program boundary

Identify the non-restricted application, requirement authority, and any manual review conditions.

Part definition

Pair the model with a controlled drawing that identifies datums, interfaces, and critical features.

Evidence intent

List requested material records, inspection content, special-process records, and marking instructions.

Industry request review

Restricted or regulated work is not accepted through the standard quote workflow. Contact Pearson for a manual eligibility review before sharing controlled technical data. Review does not guarantee acceptance.

Quote inputs

Inputs for a useful aerospace review.

Provide what is controlled, identify what is still open, and avoid assumptions about eligibility or documentation.

Request contexts
Development parts, non-restricted production requests, test fixtures, and ground-support tooling
Material inputs
Specified grade, temper or condition, stock form, approved substitutions, and material-record requirements
Critical requirements
Datum scheme, CTQ features, edge-break notes, special processes, marking, and acceptance criteria
Helpful files
Current STEP or IGES model, controlled PDF drawing, revision, quantities, and documentation list

Aerospace & Defense request review

What should the request explain?

Choose a marker to review the supporting inputs.

Frame and fixture context

State the non-restricted application, requirement authority, revision, quantity, and program-review boundary.

  • Application context
  • Requirement authority
  • Revision and quantity

Helpful request detail

Begin with a non-sensitive summary and the current document index.

Request an eligibility review
Requirements and fulfillment are confirmed only after request review.

Request contexts

Common aerospace request contexts.

Choose the context that best explains the request; acceptance still depends on manual review.

Prototype and test articles

Development

Define test intent, controlled interfaces, expected revisions, and the evidence needed for evaluation.

Requirements review

Review

Identify governing documents, supplier qualifications, special processes, and program eligibility questions.

Eligible repeat requests

Production

Provide the approved baseline, change status, quantities, records, and acceptance instructions.

Ground-support tooling

Tooling

Explain use, locating features, loads, interfaces, marking, and inspection expectations.

Quote review flow

From non-sensitive summary to reviewed baseline.

The review keeps program boundaries and manufacturing assumptions visible before acceptance.

  1. 01

    Share the controlled request

    Provide the current drawing, model, revision, aerospace and defense context, quantity, and target timing.

  2. 02

    Review requirements and authority

    Identify governing documents, precedence, approved substitutions, restricted data, and customer-controlled decisions.

  3. 03

    Map process and evidence needs

    Connect material, geometry, interfaces, process history, finish, inspection, documentation, and packaging requirements.

  4. 04

    Confirm the quoted baseline

    Pearson confirms accepted scope, routing, records, timing, and open questions before work proceeds.

Request readiness

Six details that improve aerospace review.

Use the drawing and request notes to make functional intent and evidence needs explicit.

Design intent before assumptions
  1. 01

    Define the datum scheme.

    Connect datums to assembly interfaces and identify only the relationships that control function.

  2. 02

    Explain tool-access limits.

    Identify trapped features, deep pockets, thin walls, and any allowed alternate feature approach.

  3. 03

    Name material condition.

    State grade, temper or condition, stock form, substitution authority, and required material records.

  4. 04

    Complete edge-break notes.

    Identify sealing, bearing, handling, and intentionally sharp edges instead of relying on a blanket note.

  5. 05

    Control special processes.

    Provide the required process, revision, masking areas, affected surfaces, and evidence request.

  6. 06

    Define documentation level.

    List first-article, inspection, material, marking, serialization, and approval records requested for review.

FAQ

Aerospace request questions.

These answers describe the review boundary; they do not establish program eligibility or acceptance.

A manufacturing path is considered only after capability, supplier, documentation, and program requirements are reviewed. The proposed path is confirmed before an eligible request proceeds.

Restricted or regulated work is not accepted through the standard quote workflow. Contact Pearson for a manual eligibility review before sharing controlled technical data. Review does not guarantee acceptance.

List the requested material, inspection, first-article, marking, and special-process records. Scope and evidence are reviewed before acceptance.

Identify functional datums, interfaces, and CTQ relationships on the controlled drawing. Achievable requirements are assessed during review.

Provide a non-sensitive summary, current model and drawing, material condition, quantities, target timing, and documentation list.

Do not share controlled technical data through the standard workflow. Begin with a manual eligibility review and follow the resulting instructions.
