FOR AEROSPACE & DEFENSE

ATA, IPC, Part 145 — low exposure, but every leak counts.

Aerospace catalogues are tightly controlled. Public exposure is sparse, but where it exists, the regulatory and ITAR consequences are heavy. PartSentinel measures, per ATA chapter and per IPC reference, what models claim to know — and flags the dual-use, ITAR or EAR-tagged references that have surfaced inside model responses.

Low exposure. Every leak counts.

ATA MISATTRIBUTION

Llama-3 misattributes an ATA chapter for your part — based on a Part 145 maintenance manual scraped from a third-party MRO portal.

SUPERSEDED IPC

ChatGPT lists an IPC reference that was superseded in 2022, citing a paywalled archive that should never have been crawled.

INVENTED PROCEDURE

Mistral describes an installation procedure that combines two different revisions of your IPC — invented compatibility under safety load.

USE CASES

What aerospace data teams use PartSentinel for.

01
ITAR / EAR LEAK WATCH

Catch dual-use references surfacing in model responses.

Even sparse public exposure is enough to feed a model with controlled references. PartSentinel monitors for ITAR / EAR / dual-use tagged references — and flags any case where a model recalls or volunteers them. Findings are routed to your export-control officer through a signed channel.

02
ATA CHAPTER CONSISTENCY

Verify ATA chapter assignments per reference.

ATA chapters are the primary navigation for any aviation copilot. When a model misroutes a part to the wrong chapter, the consequence is wrong maintenance procedure, wrong tool, wrong inspection cycle. We test ATA chapter assignments per model and flag the misroute matrix.

03
P/N CHAIN INTEGRITY

Track tier-1 → tier-2 → MRO P/N chain coherence.

P/N chains span tier-1 OEM, tier-2 supplier, MRO reference and operator-specific tags. Where models break the chain, the wrong part can be procured under the wrong identity. We probe each chain per language and per model panel.

04
IPC PROCEDURAL RECALL

Verify model recall of IPC-grounded procedures.

When a maintenance copilot answers an IPC procedural question, we test against the published IPC chapter to flag recall errors. This is not a substitute for the IPC itself — it is a measurement layer that lets you see which models you can trust your operators with.

WHO BUYS

Tightly defined. Tightly approved.

Aerospace engagements are bought by named roles, with security review, and almost never with an open RFP.

QUICK QUESTIONS

What aerospace teams ask before booking.

Can you handle ITAR / EAR controlled data?

We work with you to define the scope before any data leaves your perimeter. The default contract excludes ITAR / EAR controlled data; for engagements that include them, we run on dedicated EU-resident infrastructure with named-engineer access, signed NDA + ITAR / EAR clauses, and a 4–6 week security review.

Are MRO operators in scope?

Yes. We support operator-specific tags and the tier-1 → tier-2 → MRO P/N chain. Operator-side data flows require a signed information-sharing agreement.

Do you cover S1000D natively?

Yes. Native parser for data modules, applicability, IPD, and ASD-STE100 compliance audit. Custom DTDs are supported with a 24-hour onboarding overhead.

What about classified material?

Classified material is out of scope for the standard product. For engagements that include classified data flows, we operate on customer-managed infrastructure under a separate sovereign engagement.

HEAD OF PRODUCT DATA · TIER-1 EUROPEAN AEROSPACE OEM
We were not worried about general LLMs. We were worried about the one-off public exposure that lets a model recall an EAR-controlled part. PartSentinel is the only audit infrastructure that lets us measure that risk reproducibly.
AUDIT YOUR CATALOGUE

Targeted scope. Signed NDA. Dedicated infrastructure.

Aerospace engagements start with a security review and a scoped pilot — typically 50 non-controlled references on 8 LLMs, with named-engineer access. Full engagements run on EU-resident infrastructure with signed export-control clauses.
