This document (LPF-QAR-003) is a U.S. Air Force Quality Assurance Requirements specification for First Article Test Plans and Reports related to F100 engine parts. The document outlines detailed requirements for preparing and conducting first article testing, including both destructive and non-destructive testing procedures for engine components.

The requirements specify that all first articles must undergo 100% inspection with no sampling allowed, covering dimensional conformance, non-destructive inspection (FPI, ultrasonic, eddy current, X-ray, visual), material properties testing, and compliance with specifications. Key requirements include serialization of first articles, detailed documentation of dimensional inspections in tabular format, calibration requirements traceable to NIST standards, and specific NDI procedures approved by Pratt & Whitney. The document mandates submission of both First Article Test Plans (FATP) and First Article Test Reports (FATR) to the Contracting Officer according to contract schedules or Form DD1423, with complete laboratory test results required for all testing conducted at contractor facilities and by sub-vendors.
