I have two aerospace asssemblies that were designed and built late 80's / early 90's when AS9102 didn't exist. Now I am being issued a corrective action as I don't have AS9102 FAI data for these parts. I have asked for and received permission from my customer to grandfather these parts in. HOWEVER, they are now requesting us to go back and do a full AS9102 FAI on these, just in case their customer wants to review the information. I haven't gone back to them yet but my response will be "show me da' money!". This wasn't part of the initial contract so they are asking for additional activity that wasn't quoted.
Have any of you aerospace suppliers out there had to deal with old legacy parts and new AS9102 requirements? What did your customer say? How did you handle the situation? Is there anything I'm missing, such as a legacy / grandfathering requirements somewhere?
