A faulty hydraulic pump is removed from an aircraft, a serviceable unit is pulled from the rotable parts warehouse and installed, and the faulty one is sent for repair before returning to stock. This cycle gives rotable parts their name: components that can be repaired, overhauled, and returned to service repeatedly – as opposed to consumables (discarded after use) or one-time parts (non-repairable). Airlines and MRO facilities maintain dedicated rotable parts warehouses that track two distinct inventory pools: serviceable and unserviceable stock. Full traceability of each unit – covering original documentation, repair history, and certification status – is both a regulatory requirement and a cornerstone of effective maintenance planning.
