NASA, after 13 yrs in the industry, I am in a constant state of exsasperation when it comes to paying for parts in australia. I generally buy my parts ex US now days for planned maintanace, and pay up to %60 less than I do locally. Now If I was in the habit of fitting non approved parts, that would be another %50 off. recently had to buy one bolt.........pretty common size and not a critical position in the aircraft. Aviation = $16.90 + GST. non aviation and of a higher grade than the approved one, $1.30 Inc GST.
Just makes you wonder, don't it.
