This is a Quality Assurance Requirements document (LPF-QAR-003) that provides guidelines for preparing first article test plans and test reports for F100 engine parts referenced in contract first article data. The document outlines specific testing, inspection, and documentation requirements for first article testing of engine components.

Key requirements include: 100% testing of first articles with no sampling allowed; testing must verify dimensional conformance, non-destructive inspection requirements (FPI, ultrasonic, X-ray, visual), material properties, and compliance with specifications. All testing tools must be NIST-traceable and calibrated per ISO 10012-1. Reports must include detailed documentation of test results in tabular format, with specific requirements for dimensional inspections, NDI testing, visual inspections, and material properties testing. The First Article Test Plan (FATP) and First Article Test Report (FATR) must be submitted to the Contracting Officer according to contract schedules or Form DD1423. All articles must be newly manufactured under the contract, with subcontractors requiring OEM approval and authorization from OC-ALC/LPFR for any changes.
