Dear Mr Beans,
The easiest way to check your ARIS pots is to look for a gap between the collar at the top and the body of the pot. If there is no gap then your pot is u/s. And yes, I can from personal experience, confirm that they can go in flight. The change in noise and vibration is immediately obvious. Think riding down a cobbled street on a bike on just the wheel rims you'll get the idea.
